Connie said, "Guys, this is a soap, it’s a telenovela, okay? Characters come and go. That’s how soaps operates. It’s for story. Sometimes… to introduce another story but characters come and go. This is not something that is exclusive to The Queen or exclusive to Rockville or exclusive to Isibaya. It happens everywhere, all the time."

Shona added, “It is what it is. I hope you’re answered. I think that’s what people don’t know. The reality of what we do is you are going to see new people in and out. It’s the nature of storytelling.”

Themba quickly responded with "Hopefully it's not me (next)" and the duo just laughed.

Eish, ku rough!
