Last week TVSA's Brown Shuga broke the news that SABC1's planning a new soapie that's rumoured to be hotter than Generations.

After further investigations TVSA can exclusively reveal that the top secret show's called Montana and production on it's 100% confirmed!

Produced by Penguin Films, filming on it starts on 7 October. Extra hott is that it's unqiuely being filmed in Cape Town, making it the only current soapie to be filmed in the Mother City.

It's going to start off as a weekly show with the idea being that it heats up into a daily - as happened with e.tv's Scandal!.

As yet the cast is highly under wraps too but we can spill that one of the cast will be Charles Tertiens - best known to TV audiences as the Cash Crusaders hero, as well as Bennie De Goede on Interrogation Room.

All scenario details are still secret but here's a brief rundown of the rumoured scenario:

"Three Families

One rich,

one middle-class,

and one poor

One of them is coloured." (Read Shuga's full article here)

We'll keep you posted on further scoop as and when it becomes available.

<<<<Extra hott is that it's unqiuely being filmed in Cape Town, making it the only current soapie to be filmed in the Mother City.>>> If the old Backstage is anything to go by then this is great news!!! Also wondering about the time slot.

.....i was gonna say this "new soapie" is cool bcos SA actors (whom im very concernd about....food on table and staff) will get jobs....
...but then again....ive seen shooting stars..once or twice......and i thinks its horrible...ofcorse my judgement may not be very representative since ive only seen 1 2 episodes......

im not excited...about the soapie.....or any soapie in general.........hope i get disappointed for the sake of this industry and all the flood of aspiring students i see at school......
