Soapie Casting Spoilers!

When digging for dirt in dangerous places it's amazing what you find...

A source close to TVSA has sent us a list of casting spoilers for Binnelanders, Isidingo and Scandal!, as well as some hotter-than-hot gossip about Michelle Botes.

There's a rumour (which our source can't confirm or deny) that Michelle will be returning to Isidingo once her contract ends on Binnelanders in April!

A whole new host of actors are joining Binnelanders when it becomes an hour-long show in April and it could be that Botes will be written out - paving the way for a return to Isidingo.

We can't get anyone to confirm the rumour, but if it's true - you read it here first. The show hasn't been the same without the devious Cherel - it would be just the tonic it requires.

Although we don't know what roles any of the following actors will be playing, we do know that they are either confirmed or pencilled in:

Binnelanders

Predominantly a theatre actress, but played Beth in Egoli and appeared in the M-Net mini-series Feast of the Uninvited, in 2008.

She was married to Bill Flynn and her daughter is actress Lika van den Bergh (Known Gods, Shooting Stars).

Michelle PienaarMichelle Pienaar

Best known for playing Audrey in Egoli, a role she won in the Egoli Star Competition in 2001. With Egoli ending next month, this seems like a logical move for Michelle.






Maggie BenedictMaggie Benedict

Scandal!

Louise BarnesLouise Barnes

This casting has been confirmed by e.tv - Louise will play heartless Donna Hardy, the newly-appointed Acting CEO of NZH, who will amuse herself playing puppets in her upcoming personal and professional power games.

She has sweeping plans to revamp, re-brand, and reposition the once prestigious publishing company that is now in crisis – but her put-into-immediate-effect recovery strategies will cause major upheaval and distress for all - and Donna will lap that up with relish.

Louise debuts on Scandal! this Thursday (25 February).

Louise is best known for her role as Jocelyn Del Rossi on the medical drama series Jozi-H. She also acted in Egoli and Suburban Bliss, among other shows.




A Million Colours

Further casting news is that TV stars Wandile Molebatsi (Samuel in Rhythm City) and Masello Motana (Home Affairs, Artcha) have both been cast in the new film A Million Colours, described as "a romantic adventure of South Africa's once most famous black movie star who was separated from the love of his life, became a fugitive and struggled to survive Apartheid".

Based on a true story, the production will be filmed in Johannesburg, produced by Andre Pieterse and directed by Peter Bishai.

It's all about ratings for Scandal! 

Or maybe we have judged Khanyi too much... Let's give her a chance! Eish mara le yena. In future when she snatches a man, she must be discreet. A je a iphumula molomo!
