FROM YOU EDITOR ESMARE WEIDEMAN
Egoli fans have grown to love Audrey, played by lovely Michelle Pienaar, so we were shocked when she spilled the beans she’d been fired from the show for being pregnant. Imagine the excitement of hearing you’re expecting your first child - then the disappointment when this piece of good news is the reason you’re told to pack your bags and leave the set. Read Michelle’s story on page 8. The soapie might not be behind her but she’s revelling in her pregnancy and we wish her well. No doubt we’ll show you her baby in our magazine in the near future.
Many of our readers are avid Days of Our Lives fans and I’m sure you’ll enjoy our story on Carrie and Lucas tying the knot on page 10. Entertainment editor Jared Orlin has a direct line to all our favourite actors and picks up the phone for heart-to-heart chats, really getting to grips with the person behind the actor. This week he talks to Bryan Dattilo who plays Lucas Roberts and finds a fun-loving joker who pokes fun at his loser-in-love character who never gets the right girl.
Keep a look out for our next Days scoop: an exclusive interview and pictures of Alison Sweeney with her beautiful new baby. Bet you’re dying to know what she’s like in real life and how many characteristics (if any) she shares with scheming Sami Brady.
Enjoy this issue.
