Season 17
As Season 17 gets underway, Louis takes pity on a homeless person but doesn't realise that Elvis is not really a stranger.
When Okkie runs into Elvis, sparks fly. If Louis had known Elvis's true identity, would he still have been willing to go so far out of his way to lend a helping hand?
When the reason for Ruan's internet use comes to light, it's almost too late to ask any questions.
There is, however, something Steve and Elana simply have to ask him and Vicky, but the timing could be all wrong.
Helena Bester (Ronel Kriel) surprises her grandchildren, but she's not the only Bester to show up in Pretoria unexpectedly: George (Tiaan Rautenbach) and Nellie (Beáte Opperman) arrive on her heels.
Helena's motives are pure, but the same cannot be said of the two other Besters. There are a lot of burning questions – just ask Conrad.
There are quick answers to Elana's questions, but the answers he's looking for are more complicated: can and should one forgive?
Because forgiving also means forgetting, and for someone with the memory of an elephant that is very hard to do.
Someone who definitely doesn't know what he's in for is Uys Wagner – the handsome new red-headed locum. He causes a stir straight away.
Tertius and Annelize are at loggerheads about his appointment, and another redhead wants to know all about him.
And when he doesn't disclose everything, she formulates her own theories.
But how much of this speculation was caused by Binneland Stereo, and how much is based on the truth?
Uys and Annelize are the only people who know what really happened, but neither of them are talking.
Maybe that's why the man treats rules and regulations with such casual disregard and is so fond of naughty fun.
Faf Gosslin always has a lot to say, but now he suddenly wants to put his money where his mouth is.
To carry out his plans he needs the help of his auburn-haired daughter, and Maya loves her dad despite his cruel behaviour in the past.
Somebody who won't be fooled by a wolf in sheep's clothing though, is Tracy. But how is she supposed to remedy the situation if nobody will listen to her?
It may be time to bring out the big guns but, seeing as there had already been one or two skirmishes, mutual doubt will certainly have an influence on a shared concern.
Guest stars this season include Robbie Wessels, Beáte Opperman, Tiaan Rautenbach, Ronel Kriel, Wilson Dunster and Gerald Steyn.
