Coming up on Binnelanders on Wednesday 18 June 2025:

Bobby van Jaarsveld as Michael Lawson - a supposedly "good time" for Nicolette... Until.

We got our TVSA clutches on these insider details on his character ahead of his arrival tonight when he meets Nicolette.

He's described as attractive yet unremarkable. (Until you rip his shirt off.)

His attractiveness quickly captivates Nicolette's attention and they start dating. Booyakasha!

They get along well but his dull job as CFO of a paint manufacturer starts to become a concern for Nicolette.

He's supportive and non-demanding but he's concealing a secret…

Flash facts on Bobby's acting career:

He made his acting debut in the 2018 kykNET sitcom Mense Mense, which he conceptualised. He starred as Rossouw Breytenbach, who moves to the city to be with his friends after his marriage fails.

He made his drama debut in 2022 in the fourth season of the kykNET anthology series Spoorloos where he headlined as the lead character Stefan Claassen, an architect who rediscovers his long-lost love just before she disappears.

Binnelanders is his first role on a soapie.
