BREAKING. Deep trouble on Isidingo. . . and other drama!


You're reading it here first. With sagging ratings the past year or so, the producers of Isidingo on SABC3, struggling to return the soapie to its glory days when it was somewhat of a competitor in the brutal timeslot of 18:30 on weekdays opposite e.tv's runaway success Rhythm City and SABC2's 7de Laan,  is going all out in the remainder of the year with some CRAZY storylines promising a lot of trouble at The Deep.

I've seen snippets from the upcoming storylines and some look quite riveting:

*Get ready for an accidental kidnapping! Barker in the streets, roaming like a wild man, searching, searching. . . . A random is demanded when Jody is kidnapped.

*Parsons discovers he's sterile! ''There will BE NO BABY!'' screams Parsons in anguish and frustration.

*There will be an immense battle for the heart of The Deep. Get ready for revolt and a revolver, Barker being a dictator and overall threatening presence. ''The Duncan hotel will be mine,'' the crazy one shouts megalomaniacally. ''Horizon Deep must burn!'' he shouts. And then: ''I told you I'd be back!''
