Pearl Modiadie talks about her new role
Speaking exclusively with Briefly News, Pearl Modiadie unpacked some exciting news about her new character, Ayanda Gumede-Williams, and how she was drawn to this complex character.
She said:
"I was immediately drawn to Ayanda because of her multifaceted personality and the emotional depth she brings to the story. She’s ambitious, intelligent and driven, but she’s also navigating some deep personal conflicts—especially with her father.
"To prepare, I focused on understanding the emotional stakes of her relationships, particularly the love-hate dynamic with her father and the complexities of being both a daughter and a professional trying to assert her own identity. I spent time understanding her backstory, really digging into what motivates her and the journey to becoming who she is."
Modiadie further shared some insights into the dynamics between Ayanda and the other characters on the show:
"Ayanda’s relationships are full of tension and complexity. Her love-hate relationship with her father creates a constant power struggle as she fights to prove herself worthy of taking over the family firm. Her ‘love life’ adds another layer of drama—she’s balancing passion with the potential risks to her career.
"There’s a tension between her and a new lawyer as they both try to assert themselves in the firm—Ayanda, with her desire to take over the company, and Gugu, with her determination to make a mark in her own way. Her friendship with her best friend offers her some grounding, but even that comes with its own challenges as personal and professional lives intertwine."
Actress Dineo Rasedile talks about her role on the show
Actress Dineo Rsedile, who is Joining Pearl Modiadie on the new Showmax Original series, also shared some insight about her role, Gugu Mabaso, with Briefly News.
She said:
"Gugu Mabaso is an incredibly strong young woman from Tembisa who studied law and is now on a journey of self-discovery. She advocates for those who can't defend themselves while striving to improve her own life. Her mission is to establish herself in her profession and uncover the truth about her identity.
"I was nervous at first since it's a legal show and I’ve never done anything like that before. The audition involved these lengthy monologues filled with legal jargon. However, once I read through the brief and went through the references, I felt confident. I had a whole weekend to prepare and by the time I went in, I was ready."
