Mark Anthony Fernandez and Dennis Trillo were considered to play the role of Fredo before the management decided to give the role to Dingdong Dantes.
The series is based on a Philippine graphic novel of the same title by Mars Ravelo.
After the runaway success of Marimar (2007), which cemented Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera as household names, Dyesebel crashed onto primetime like a tidal wave, sweeping away the competition and leaving rival networks gasping for air. With its record-breaking ratings and cultural impact, the show proved to be an unstoppable force.
