Plot

Season 1 (2015)

Doble Kara began with the story of a poverty-stricken Laura (Mylene Dizon) who had no means of acquiring money for her dying mother's medical treatment. Laura, who had no choice but to resort to prostitution, was impregnated by a married man named Antonio Dela Rosa (Allen Dizon). Despite what happened, Ishmael (Ariel Rivera) who has shown Laura true love, marries her, and steps in as the father of her two unborn children. On the same day of Laura's childbearing, Lucille (Carmina Villarroel), Antonio's wife, also gives birth to their child, Sofia. However, the couple's daughter died shortly after delivery in consequence of her premature birth.

As Antonio and Lucille mourn their daughter’s early passing, Laura and Ishmael, together with godmother Itoy (John Lapus) and his brother Andy (Anjo Damiles), enjoyed and lived a happy life with their twin daughters, Kara and Sara (Julia Montes), regardless of being poor. The twins' differences become apparent when Kara excels in academics while Sara struggles, thus made Sara switched identities with Kara to make Sara pass her academics. However, when Kara was diagnosed with leukemia, Sara became jealous of the extra attention that was given to her sister. With limited means, their parents were forced to separate the two and give up Kara to her biological father Antonio, who had the means to provide better treatment for her disease. With Kara finally aware of her true origins, Laura and Ishmael decide to keep their secret from Sara and Antonio, in fear of losing Sara as well.

Antonio brings Kara unto the Dela Rosa foundation where she meets Lucille. Disheartened by Kara's ailment, Lucille began to espouse a mother-daughter relationship with Kara as she began to consider her as her own daughter. Unbeknownst to her of the existing relationship between her husband and Kara, Lucille adopts and brings Kara abroad where she recovers from her illness.

The two siblings, despite sharing the same appearance, grew up living two separate lives and exhibiIng contrasting personalities. Sara, who has an extreme fondness of beauty contests and pageants, grew up ambitiously towards her own life and dream, becoming more self-centered and egoistic while fostering a street-smart attitude. While Kara grew up to be charming, sweet, mellow, very sophisticated, and artistically inclined.

After fourteen years had passed, a grown-up Kara returns to her hometown and, against her father's wishes, resolves to find her family. On the other hand, unaware of her sister's whereabouts, Sara continues to pursue her dream of becoming rich and famous, and meets Edward (Edgar Allan Guzman). The two became a sweet couple but as days test their relationship, they stop themselves in impoverishment so they broke up and remained friends. In the meantime after several attempts, Kara had finally succeeded to meet her twin sister Sara in one of Edward's concert. Kara pleaded with Sara not to tell their parents yet of her return in order to avoid further complications in her family. Amidst of these, Laura and Ishmael discovered soon of Kara's presence when Kara worriedly visited her mother who got admitted in a hospital because of ulcer and when Ishmael got victimized in a taxi hold-up.

Several situations had occurred in keeping Kara and Antonio's secret including Sara who got mistaken for as Kara by Lucille and Antonio. This accidental switching of identities later gave Sara the acquisitiveness to share in Kara's luxurious life, much to Kara's detriment. Meanwhile, Sara's jealousy towards Kara heightens as she unraveled her true origins – kept and hidden by her own parents and sister. Now aware of her true identity, Sara started to yearn for Antonio's affections and used her sister's identity to get closer to her real father, but eventually the truth was revealed to Antonio that he actually shared twins with Laura.

Season 2 (2015–16)

Edward meets Kara again for a second time and it was already known to him that Kara and Sara are twins. Edward uncertainly get his eyes on Kara and she will soon taste the bitterness and cruelty of her twin sister. Rivalry arises between them with both twins fighting for their rights and ownership. But even so, Kara's love for her sister is unconditional as she gives everything to Sara to make her happy and satisfied, even knowing her sister has started to be more evil. In few times later, Kara uncovered her feelings for Edward and realized for herself that she doesn't see him beyond a friend. She meets her new savior, Sebastian (Sam Milby), who stopped her from committing suicide and helped her with her family problems. They became best friends and now it is Edward who seeks attention to Kara and gets envious of Sebastian. Sara later promised Edward that she will always be there for him. Sara began to be much more materialistic and scheming, and persistently fights for her rights as the "legal daughter" of Antonio. This later started a hefty and exasperating rivalry between Sara and Lucille. Sara started covet for highly luxurious properties, desiring to outclass Kara for all the lavishness she used to have, and even induced Antonio to buy her own house to make up for all those years she suffered in scarcity.

After the struggles that Kara has faced, every pieces of their family's secrets are finally discovered by Lucille who had known nothing about her family's well-kept secrets because of Sara's intentional declaration and evil schemes. Even her mother, Barbara (Alicia Alonzo), pretends innocently and blames Kara for falling down from a stair. Lucille was saddened by these turn of events, but chose to forgive her family and wanted them to move with her to America again for a fresh start. Unfortunately, Lucille's revenge returns and aggravates when Antonio dies in a car accident and her road to revenge is nearly arriving and she couldn't stop until she finds justice for the death of her husband. This enabled Sara to pay for her evil schemes she had caused against her family and Lucille as well. It becomes worse for Lucille when another secret from her mother is about to shock her when she meets her conniving and two-faced half-sister Alex (Maxene Magalona) and half-brother Sebastian. Lucille ordered a demolition around the area where the Suarez family lives and forcefully expelled Sara to the house which Antonio gave her. In consequence of the casualty, Ishmael was badly wounded in the head and needed medical operation for his condition. Kara and Sara, nowhere to look for money, had no choice but to confront Lucille and demanded the "donation" which their late father left for them. Lucille displeasingly tells the twins that Antonio didn't left any money for them and this created a weird suspicion behind Sara's mind. The twin sisters confronted the attorney and fellow friend of Antonio, and upon their surprise the attorney had finally confessed that he was actually blackmailed by Lucille to hide the inheritance which Antonio left for his daughters. Kara and Sara were given a corresponding amount of money of ten million each and used these for Ishmael's operation.

Sara, with the help of a friend, decided to work and start her life anew in Japan for her baby instead.

Both babies are born, christened as Rebecca and Isabella. However, Sara mourned and grieved as Rebecca shortly died after her birth and just like Lucille's daughter, it is caused by a premature birth brought about by a weak immune system. After the misfortunes Sara had experienced in Japan, she went home to the Philippines, but chose not to return to her family, thinking that she'll only be a hindrance and be judged by her family because of her wrong decisions in life again. While Sara is sorrowfully saddened and hasn't moved on, Kara and Seb promised to Isabella to protect and support her and be good parents. With all these happenings, Lucille, Alex and Sara started to suffer their consequences for their evil schemes and actions by having Lucille confined in a mental hospital, Alex being imprisoned and Sara losing her child.

Rebecca will meet Banjo (Rayver Cruz) whom she misleads as her father because of Sara. But they will form a friendship and will treat each other a family. Meanwhile, Alex is slowly brainwashing Kara and Seb’s adoptive daughter, Hannah, and instills in her that she is not well-loved, building hatred in the child’s heart, thus causing her to be evil and vengeful. And their situation gets even more complicated now that Sara has finally returned to her family.

Once Sara returns to the Suarez family, Alex starts to put her plan into motion. Alex brainwashes Hannah to do everything that she orders her to and Hannah starts to be as if she was Alex's puppet.

Despite Sara's disapproval, Edward never lost hope and continued to apologize to Sara day by day. One day Edward followed Kara and Rebecca to a bookstore, only to find out that Rebecca is accused of stealing a box of crayons because of Hannah's schemes. Edward did his best to save Becca by urging the shop to view the footage to prove Becca was innocent and that Hannah was the real cause of the incident.

Things get worse as Seb informs Kara that he suspects that Becca may be their lost daughter and that he will do everything to find Isabella. The Suarez family is now in chaos because of Sara's secret being revealed and Alex playing with them as if they were her puppets.

Banjo brings Becca to Itoy's birthday party due to her pleading and that she did not want to miss her "Nangshie's" birthday. Earlier that day, Edward comes to Itoy's party, and Alex explains to him that he and Sara did have a child by she died due to premature birth, just as Antonio and Lucille's daughter. Edward asks Laura about it, and explains that Alex was the one who told him about the truth. Becca finds out the truth that she is only adopted, when Hannah, Seb and Kara's adoptive daughter, tells her that they are not cousins. She tells Becca that she shouldn't be an "attention seeker". They start fighting and Paolo and Andy have to pry them apart. Becca asks Laura and Itoy if she is really adopted. Banjo calls Sara that she needs to come to the Suarezes because the truth has been revealed. Sara, angrily comes, and confronts the whole Suarez family. She asks who told Becca the truth and Andy explains that it was Hannah. An enraged Sara confronts Hannah, and Kara explains that Hannah is her responsibility and if there's anyone to blame, it should be her. Andy takes Hannah to her room. Itoy says it's for the best that the truth came out and that Becca and Edward already know the truth and what really happened. He adds that they should just think about Becca because this revelation about her identity will affect her greatly. Sara blames Banjo for what happened, stating that if he hadn't brought Becca to the Suarezes this wouldn't have happened. Banjo says that he was also shocked about what happened and what Hannah said and he apologizes to an angry and enraged Sara.

She asks how Edward knows about the truth. Andy tells her that Alex told Edward about the truth earlier that day. Sara tells Alex what right does she have to tell Edward the truth. Alex makes an excuse saying that she didn't "know" that Sara was keeping secrets from him also. Seb adds that she still has no right to say anything and it should be Sara who explains the truth. Alex insults Sara, and Sara retaliates by slapping her. Alex also retaliates and they soon start a fight, not knowing that Becca had seen what is going on. Becca, seeing the Suarezes and Alex fight, runs away. She goes to the park and is talking to herself saying she is sorry to her "Momma" and Kara. She thinks that she is the reason why they are all fighting. Unbeknownst to them, Becca ran away. Once they realize this they all search for her. Edward, who is angry at himself because of the happenings in Japan, gets called that Becca is missing and helps find her also.

The Suarezes are now tearing each other apart with lies, while an antagonistic Alex, watches them all in triumph because she knows her plans will soon work. Kara and Seb soon find Becca lying on a park bench and she has a fever. They bring her to the hospital, and the Suarezes and Edward follow. Sara asks of the doctor that all the information about Becca only be told to her. Laura and Kara, worriedly enter the room where Becca is, and Sara says that her twin sister has no right to be here and that she is planning to ruin her and Becca's espoused mother-daughter relationship. Laura tells Sara to stop it and it's best they learn that they should always tell the truth from then on, because that could be a lesson of what lies can cause.

Sara tells Laura that she can't say that she never lied either. Sara reminds Laura that she hid the truth about Antonio being her biological father, and Laura says the she did it for a good reason. She asks Sara what her reason is to lie to her daughter. Banjo later tells Edward that it's best for him to leave, because he is just being a pain. Edward tells him, that if anyone needs to leave it's him because he has no relation to the Suarezes whatsoever. Edward insults Banjo by telling him Sara will never love him like how she loved Edward. Banjo later punches Edward and they start a fight and the hospital staff pry them apart. Seb tells them both that they are not helping and that they are just making more drama.

Seb, worried about Becca's condition, tells one of the nurses that he suspects the Becca just doesn't have a fever. The nurse tells Seb that she has a sickness, and he remembers that baby Isabella also had that condition. Later that night, Seb tells Kara about his instinct and explains to Kara that maybe it's more than just a coincidence. Kara tells Seb that Sara could never do what he is saying. However, Seb tells Kara that he will look at any angle just to find their daughter even if it means investigating Sara.

Seb continues on investigating Isabella's whereabouts, and meets with Edward's mother Chloe. He asks for a DNA sample of Becca's hair, due to Chloe having already taken a DNA test for Edward. She gives a sample of Becca's hair, and Seb orders a DNA test. Later he tells Kara upon his doings about finding Isabella, and Kara tells Laura about what is currently happening. Laura prays to God asking her to explain to her why this is all happening and guide Kara and Sara to guide them to do the right thing. Seb later goes to Sara's house, asking her yet again how she found Becca. She says that she told the truth already and asks Seb to leave, which gives Seb more suspicion due to her paranoia.

Alex, who is at Julio's syndicate location, talks to Julio in his room. She says she is happy about what is happening between the identity of Becca to the Suarezes and that Kara and Seb are already doubting Sara. Alex explains that she doesn't even need to move a muscle and the secrets of Sara are already unfolding, thus making her plan nearer to succession. She tells Julio, that once Becca is proven to be Isabella, the Suarezes will blame each other and destroy their family and once she succeeds in doing this, she will plan to separate Kara and Seb, not even considering her brother's feelings or reactions of her plan. Alex says that once this happens she will finally succeed at what Lucille has been dying to do, but has never succeeded at – to destroy the Suarez family.

Sara goes to Club Felicidad. She tells Banjo that if she and him can become a couple under one condition – if they leave and go far awa,y just Banjo, Sara, and Becca. Banjo agrees and they hug. Seb gets Becca's DNA result and confronts the Suarezes and Kara. He tells Kara that Isabella and Becca are the same person. They soon try to find Sara and stop her from leaving and taking Becca, aka Isabella, with her.

Sara tells Mother about her plan and tells her that she, Becca, and Banjo will be leaving. Mother tries to persuade Sara not to push through with her plan and just tell the truth because by running away she's only making the situation worse. Sara does not listen to Mother's advice and still wants to push her plan through. Banjo tells his sister Mother that he'll be okay and he knows what he's doing and that he fully loves Sara. But Mother asks Banjo if Sara really loves him.

Becca and Sara are in a taxi leaving. Sara brings Becca to Banjo to Club Felicidad while she bids farewell to Itoy, Andy, Laura, and Paolo. Meanwhile, Seb, Kara, and the police are at the bus station asking if the bus has already left. A saddened Kara and Seb return to the Suarez house. Sara is just about to leave and fate catches up with all of them – Kara and Sara confront each other. Kara asks Sara where is she going and Sara tries to stall but Kara slaps her in the face.

The police arrest Sara and Laura has a breakdown. Laura begs Kara and Seb not to put Sara to prison and that they could still fix this problem. A deranged Kara, does not listen to reason due to her being full of anger. The Suarezes' attorney soon arrives and Kara and Seb file a case against Sara of kidnapping. Laura again begs Seb and Kara not to press charges, but they want to know the truth of the kidnapping and Sara is the main suspect, not knowing that Alex is the real plotter of Isabella's abduction.

Sara is imprisoned and a lawyer comes to help her with the case of kidnapping filed by Seb and Kara. Unbeknownst to Laura and Sara, the attorney sent to help Sara is actually an acquaintance of Edward who sent him to help Sara with the case. They lawyer files a bailable case for Sara and the bail was granted. When Sara and Laura leave the prison, a reporter asks a cop about the case.

Kara responds by telling her that she had her daughter for six years and asks her if that's still not enough. Sara gets onto her knees and begs Kara, saying that she will die if she is separated from Becca. Kara, who is now tearful, tells Sara that she will approve of her plead; only under one condition – she will help her espouse the mother-daughter bond with Becca. Sara accepts and excitedly sees Becca. She and Becca have a heart to heart talk and Becca asks her where she's been, not knowing that she was imprisoned by her biological mother, Kara.

Kara confronts Sara asking her why the kidnapper's phone is inside her bag, Sara responds by telling her that she doesn't know what she's talking about. An angry Kara tells Sara that she is tired of those excuses and that if she finds out that she is the real one behind Isabella's kidnapping, she will do everything and anything to find just for her daughter, and even if it means doing it to her own twin sister. Seb meets with his attorney and give him another piece of evidence – the cell phone planted in Sara's bag. The lawyer tells Seb that they can do a fingerprint check on the phone, as well as checking the history.

Sara sees Kara in the kitchen cooking adobo. Sara tries to help her twin sister with Becca by telling her what she wants.

Becca says that she will not go unless Sara goes. Laura and Itoy persuade her to come. During the outing, Becca is not having fun because Sara is not there and she just stays with Itoy and Laura.

Edward tells his mother that Sara is not a criminal and that they don't even know the whole truth yet so they shouldn't be judging her. Chloe asks Edward if he still cannot forget his feelings and emotions for Sara. They argue and Edward chooses not to answer his mother.

Someone from Kara's past is about to return because of her knowledge of who really is the plotter of the kidnapping of Isabella. That woman turns out to be Lucille's mother and Kara's adoptive grandmother Barbara. Barbara returns to the Philippines because of her selling all of her properties because she is tired of always returning to the Philippines and that she is also old now. And she also mentions that she needs to return to the United States because the she needs to keep an eye on Lucille, who is still in an unstable state.

Unbeknownst to the two, Kara overhears their conversation. Later, Kara and Laura talk, and are unfortunately overheard by Sara. Kara explains to Laura that she feels that Becca will never treat her as a mother as long as Sara is around.

The next morning, Sara leaves the Suarezes' house and Becca makes a scene. Sara tells Becca that she will return for her and that's a promise, Itoy kindly holds Becca while Laura bids goodbye to her daughter. Kara, who sees this, is sad also. Kara tries to reach out to Becca by trying to espouse the mother-daughter relationship, by buying her crayons and art supplies. But Becca rejects Kara's affections which makes her depressed. Seb tells Becca that she should give Kara and him a chance, and that she should use the things Kara is buying her because that will make her happy. Hannah, upon hearing their discussion, confronts Becca and says that she wishes that she wasn't Isabella and Kara is sad because of her. Becca tells her that she's sorry and that she also didn't wish that she was Isabella. She tells Hannah that she'd rather be Sara's daughter instead.

Meanwhile, Julio discovers Patricia's affections with Paolo and takes his anger out on Alex. He tells her that she should by looking out for his sister. Julio tells her to fire Paolo. Alex explains that she can't because Paolo is her and Seb's second cousin from their deceased mother Lorena's (Maila Gumila) side of the family. Julio says he doesn't care and asks Alex if she is betraying him.

Itoy calls Sara and Becca talks to her. Kara takes the phone away from Becca, angering her, and causing her to be mad at Kara. Becca asks Kara why is she doing this and keeping her away from Sara, Kara explains that she's doing this because she is her biological mother. Itoy explains to Kara that Becca isn't doing anything wrong and she just wanted to talk to Sara. She kneels in front of Becca, begging her to accept her as her mother. Seb tells Kara to stand up, and they talk in their room. She says that even though Sara is already gone, Becca will always treat her as a daughter.

Barbara meets with her attorney and he gives her Lucille's things, and she finds Isabella's accessory in her daughter's stuff. She meets up with Laura and Sara telling them that she doesn't want to get involve in their mess, but she wants to clear one thing - Lucille's name. Barbara shows Laura the accessory and she remembers that Seb gave that to Isabella as a gift, Sara asks why that is in Lucille's things. She jumps to conclusions and blames Lucille right away. Barbara says that Lucille is not in the right mind to kidnap Isabella, and she has Lucille watched the whole day. Barbara says that the Suarezes were all blaming Lucille for Isabella's abduction, that they are not punishing the real plotter. Barbara explains that one thing's for sure – Lucille is not involved.

Kara is now starting also to suspect Sara as the plotter of Isabella's abduction. Laura tries to get Kara just to handle things in personal business, but Kara persistently wants to find justice for her daughter's kidnapping. Meanwhile, Itoy gets suspicious about Alex's doings and starts to investigate for himself, he searches Alex's room and finds a bag full of cash. Just at that moment Alex enters the room, while Itoy hides under the bed. Alex leaves and Itoy tells Laura about his findings but Laura does not believe in his accusation. They both go into Alex's room to search again, but unfortunately Alex comes inside the room during their investigation so the hide in the restroom. Laura and Itoy leave the room.

Seb is also now starting to become suspicious about Alex's movements, so he starts investigating her also now. Unbeknownst to him, Alex is actually not also present in her works in the Dela Rosa Foundation, and he finds this out from Paolo, who says that Alex never goes to work. Meanwhile, Laura and Itoy go to the mall and saw Alex giving one of her henchmen money - the latter confronts the former. Itoy interrogates Alex by asking her why she gave him money and where she got that money, since she is working only in Kara's foundation. Laura asks Alex what she is doing, but Alex responds by telling her and Itoy that she comes and goes from the Suarez house all the time, but none of them ever even care to notice her. Alex excuses herself from the two and leaves, leaving Itoy and Laura suspicious.

Itoy becomes a blabbermouth and tells Seb about the incident that occurred in the mall earlier that day. When Alex returns to the Suarez house, Seb confronts her and asks his sister where she has come from. Alex lies and tells him that she came from the Dela Rosa Foundation, Seb tells her to say the truth because he knows that Laura and Itoy saw her at the mall earlier. Things get even worst and more complicated as Alex confronts Laura and Itoy. She tells Itoy why he had to say that to Seb and that it's known of his business about what is going on in her personal life. She accuses him of trying to ruin their strong brother-sister relationship. Alex insults Laura causing her to accidentally push her to the floor. Seb arrives only to witness this mishap, Kara arrives also seeing the mess. A deranged Sara attacks Alex and asks her why she'd hurt her mother. Seb says he has had the last straw with her.

He brings her to the room and kicks her out of the Suarez house. Itoy reveals that he saw a pack of cash in her cabinet and tries to prove himself, but Alex has hid the money and made Itoy look like an idiot. Alex says they don't even have to ask her to leave the Suarezes because she herself is going to do it because she is tired of putting up with people she's not even related to. She leaves the house. Alex goes to Julio's syndicate location and tells him about her problem; she stays in the Acostas' former house that she renovated after Barbara sold it to a couple, years ago. She sleeps there for the night.

Barbara goes to Suarezes' house to talk to Laura. She says that they can finally have a testimony to help them with Sara's case, because Lucille's nurse from the mental hospital is returning to the Philippines after several years of being abroad. Hannah overhears their discussion. Later that day, Alex sees Hannah and Hannah informs her that she saw Laura talking to an old lady about Lucille's nurse from the asylum. This gives Alex a chance to plan something else against Sara to incriminate her for the abduction of Isabella. Julio orders his men to hire a woman to pose as Lucille's nurse in exchange for money.

This woman's name is Flor Bautista. Barbara calls a meeting with her and asks her about Isabella's pin and how it got into Lucille's possession. Barbara says she wants to know who ordered her to give the pin to Lucille, and why. She shows Flor a picture of Sara; Lucille's "nurse" says that Sara was the one who ordered her, and just to make sure of her statements, Barbara shows her a picture of Sara. After the meeting, Lucille's nurse gets paid and she asks the men who is Sara Suarez. The men reply to her that the less she knows, the better.

Barbara tells Laura that the nurse says that Sara is the one who ordered her to give Isabella's pin to Lucille. Kara and Laura don't seem to believe Barbara's accusations and asks her if they can talk to Lucille's nurse themselves. Barbara asks them if they cannot trust her, and they are the ones she is helping, but they can't believe her statements. Laura says that who knows that she is not just paying the nurse to frame up Sara to cover up for Lucille's crime. Their confrontation ends and Barbara gives them Flor's address.

Laura and Kara confront Flor, asking if Sara really ordered her to give the pin to Lucille. Flor's conscience starts to get the best of her and she wants to admit the truth but she is scared. Kara tries to convince to be a witness for their case against Sara; since she was the one who ordered her to give the pin to Lucille. She asks them to leave her alone and that she doesn't want to get involved in their personal affairs because she already said her piece.

Laura and Kara meet up with Barbara telling her that the nurse does not want to be a witness. Barbara tells them that they cannot blame her because who would want to get involve in a crime case; but Kara says that if the nurse has nothing to hide she should just accept their bargain to her. She starts to become suspicious. Barbara explains to them that there is no 100% that she will agree but she'll try to ask her to testify for them.

The day of the court confrontation arrives, and Alex arrives, while Flor is a witness. Flor decides to not disclose the truth about what happened to assure the safety of her children, because their lives are at stake. The Suarezes' attorney asks her if Sara is the culprit behind Isabella's abduction and also if that if she is also truly involved with the pin incident with Lucille. Flor tells the court that Sara is the real culprit and that she's behind everything that happened. The court brings in the next witness who is apparently Dina's brother, Dante Nicholas. He was also hired also like Flor. He says that he knew everything that was going on and that Sara was the plotter, and that everything never became clearer to him about Isabella's abduction until it streamed live on TV.

After the court hearing, Alex and Sara have a confrontation in the restroom as Alex tries to tamper Sara. Sara almost slaps Alex but she threatens her that if she lays one finger on her she'll sue Sara for physical injuries. Sara tells Alex that once she clears her name, she'll find out who really kidnapped Becca. She will make them pay the price.

Later, Sara went to Flor's house to question her about why she said that she ordered her to give the pin to Lucille. Flor quietly answered saying that she said everything that she already said everything she know's in the courthouse. Afraid to tell the truth because she was being stalked by Julio's men, Flor tells Sara that she'll text her where they will meet and talk. Later, Flor leaves her house with her two sons, unfortunately, they are stopped and kidnapped by one of Julio's henchmen. The henchmen found out that Flor was about to say the truth that Sara is not the real person behind Isabella's kidnapping and that she also did not order her to give the pin to Lucille. Flor and her two sons are kidnapped and brought to a warehouse; only to meet Alex.

Alex interrogates and asks Flor what she was going to tell Sara, or if she even told the truth. Flor denies her actions, causing Alex to become more intense and threatens to kill her sons if she will not fess up. Flor tells Alex that she didn't say anything to Sara and that she only asked her why she lied in court that she was ordered to give the pin to Lucille. Alex doesn't believe and Flor begs her that she has already said everything she knows, Alex lets them go and orders them to leave and move faraway. Flor follows her orders.

Sara returns to Club Felicidad and tells Mother and Banjo about the incident. She tells them that Flor backed out of their agreement and that she never showed up to the mall. Mother tells her maybe Flor had a good reason why she didn't keep her end to the bargain. Sara starts to suspect that Flor wanted to tell her something, but she was just afraid, and Sara could tell by the way Lucille's nurse was acting. Sara and Banjo later visit Flor's house but only to be told by one of her neighbors that Flor and her sons already moved out. This shocks Sara and leaves her with suspicion.

Later, Hannah starts rumors at school that Sara is a criminal. And one of Becca's classmates' pencil case was missing, but due to Hannah's rumor, the girl searched Becca's backpack and was accused of thieving. The teacher tells Seb that his daughter got into a fight, and he guesses it was Hannah, but a surprised Seb found out that Becca is the one who got into a fight. He calls Kara and they have a meeting with the girl and her mom. Unbeknownst to them, it was Hannah who actually started this rumor about Becca's adoptive mother, Sara. The girl who accused Becca fesses up and tells them that it was Hannah who started the rumor. Later that night, Seb and Kara tell Hannah to apologize to Becca as a punishment for her actions. Hannah reluctantly apologizes and they make up.

That night, Becca was outside admiring the stars from the Suarezes' balcony and saw Sara. Becca did not know that earlier that day Sara came to see her, but Kara did not keep her word of letting Becca see Sara on Fridays after her class. Becca tries to go to Sara but she suddenly leaves, which makes Becca burst into tears. It is not only Becca who burst into tears, but Sara as well.

While the hearing is going on Becca disrupts them and begs the judge that Sara is not guilty. Becca makes a scene and the judge sees how Becca defended Sara against Kara and Seb's accusation. She tells the court that if they are going to put Sara to jail, she'll go with her. Seb and Kara excuse Becca from the court, causing them to flee. After the mishap, the court makes up a decision and finds Sara guilty of kidnapping Becca and sentenced her to life imprisonment or reclusión perpetua.

Production

Casting

"After doing so many roles that are not normal for my age, I can really say that this is the most challenging project that has been given to me. I have to dedicate not only my heart and soul, but also myself as whole for this series."

—Lead actress Julia Montes on her dual role^[10]

In April 2015, it was announced that Julia Montes had been given the first title role of the show.^[11] Hazel Parfan, the executive producer of the show, said they concocted the project with Montes in mind. Created as polar opposites, Montes had to change clothes, change makeup, and switch personas several times for her respective roles as Kara and Sara.^[12] Afterwards, more castings were confirmed, including Mylene Dizon, Ariel Rivera, Allen Dizon, Edgar Allan Guzman, John Lapus, Gloria Sevilla, Patricia Javier, and Alora Sasam.^[13] Bing Loyzaga and Enchong Dee were originally part of the main cast for the roles of Lucille Dela Rosa and Andy Delgado.^[14] They were later replaced by Carmina Villarroel and Anjo Damiles.^[15]

In November 2015, it was announced that Sam Milby and Maxene Magalona would also be joining the cast as one of Kara's (Montes) love interests and Sebastian's (Milby) sister, respectively.^[16][17] After the third-season finale, it was announced on April 22, 2016, that child actresses Krystal Mejes and Myel De Leon were cast in the second book and fourth season of the series as Isabella Acosta/Rebecca Suarez and Hannah Acosta, respectively.

Scheduling

The series was initially meant to be part of ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block as announced on Bandila news program, declaring that Montes will be coming back on primetime.^[18] However, in a last minute change, the time slot was moved as part of Kapamilya Gold afternoon block, replacing Pinoy Big Brother: 737 GOLD, which is the schedule time after FlordeLiza and subsequently after It's Showtime.^[19]

Marketing

On August 1, 2015, ABS-CBN released the first teaser trailer for the series on YouTube, featuring Montes.^[2] Another teaser followed on August 5, and once again featuring Montes.^[3] Later that month, ABS-CBN released a series of exclusive posters and cast portraits on the show's website and Twitter.^[23] On August 14, 2015, the first full-length trailer was released.^[1] On April 22, 2016, it was publicly disclosed by Julia Montes and Sam Milby in their promotion and interview that the series got renewed for another book and season because of its consistently increasing ratings which have been unprecedentedly high for an afternoon cable series, beating its rival program and a rumor surfaces that the series might get extended until August which will run for totally a year.^[24] The trailer for the second book shows the new life of Kara and Sara as mothers, having daughters of their own.^[25] On April 29, 2016, Montes, with Alora Sasam and Markki Stroem, visited SM City San Jose del Monte and served a thanksgiving concert to everyone who watches and supports the series. A promotion about the extension for the series was also included. There is also a report that the series might run until January 2017 because of its continuous high ratings.^[26]

Broadcast

Doble Kara airs on Mondays to Fridays at 3:00 p.m. Philippine Standard Time (PST). ABS-CBN pushed the series to an earlier time slot of 2:45 p.m. on August 31, 2015, right after FlordeLiza ended its series run.^[27] After this, the series was then again rescheduled to a later time slot of 3:20 p.m. on April 13, 2016.

The series had its world premiere on The Filipino Channel on August 25, 2015. In the Philippines, it premiered on ABS-CBN on August 24, 2015.

Reception

Critical response

Both, Montes (left) and Dizon (right), received critical acclaim for their performance.

Doble Kara has been met with largely positive reviews from critics since its premiere, with most praising Julia Montes' performance. Walden Sadiri M. Belen of Manila Bulletin praised Mylene Dizon's dramatic prowess during the episodes of its pilot week and the veteran actress' addition to the series, saying, "Mylene’s acting, well-supported by the performances of seasoned actors Ariel Rivera and even Allen Dizon, beefed-up the first week run of Doble Kara. Although, Julia Montes would appear on the fifth episode, Mylene and her co-stars have already built the anticipation and eagerness of viewers to the next journey of the twins as adults. Anchored on Mylene’s strong performances, Doble Kara is an afternoon soap opera filled with an ensemble cast that will succeed in luring viewers for weeks to come." Furthermore, Belen said that despite the long wait before Montes' grown-up characters appear, he can already feel the young actress' different range of acting, adding, "The first starring role of Julia Montes, Dreamscape Entertainment Television went all out to make the series a success. In the short scenes of Julia, viewers can already see the different range of acting she possesses. Playing the insipidly weak, California educated Kara and the ambitious beauty queen and commercial model Sara."^[30]

Luciano also commended Carmina Villarroel's performance and said that she also effectively grabs attention for her portrayal of Lucille, the ambiguous and struggling character who can either be adored because of her maternal love or sympathized for her growing need to seek justice. Elvin Luciano of PEP.ph finds the character of John Lapus's Itoy as "innovative", saying, "It’s refreshing to see a character like Itoy, played with subtlety and control by Lapus, the gay kumare who is oftentimes the voice of discord and not there as the token comic relief." However, "praises also goes to the fine young discovery, Avery Balasbas, who convincingly plays two different people girls with both skill and maturity," stated by Luciano.^[31]

On the other hand, Rocky Chua of TV Series Craze gave a positive review, writing, "Julia can effectively portray both the bida and the kontrabida roles which makes the story of Doble Kara more interesting and exciting. It even leads in the afternoon teleserye lineup of the Kapamilya network. And yes, the story of it is unpredictable!" On an added note, he said, "Unique story, unexpected twists, and best performance of the lead cast, Julia Montes, who is playing bida and kontrabida at the same time, makes Doble Kara one of our favorite teleseryes today. Viewers were truly hook to it!"^[32]

In Africa, the series was a massive success. It received much applause from audiences and critics alike for the role of Montes particularly as Sara Suarez. Carmina Villarroel and Maxene Magalona were also praised for their respective portrayals as Lucille and Alex. It aired along with The Promise (2015), with many saying that it edged the remake. It star rocketed Montes as both a lead protagonist and antagonist.
