“All The Queen season four contracts are ending on May 31. We have a new crop of actors carrying the story for season 5, so not everyone will be returning, including Kea and Jerry.”

Kea was part of the original cast and played Connie’s on-screen daughter. Connie hinted that the manner in which Kea would exit the show would shock many but it was an important element of the plot.

“We can’t speak about how we exit the characters because that element of surprise is important. What we can say is that the exit of the character Kea is what ignites the series of events that follow, and propels the main story arc for season 5.

“Jerry will also be exiting the show. New life will be injected in the Tembisa world, with a lot of plot twists and surprises,” says executive producer Connie.

Actor and Co-producer Shona expressed his sadness that Jerry Make was also leaving the show. He previously shared that the character was inspired by his late father.

“ I loved playing Jerry Maake. He stands out as one of my favourite characters.

“The character was inspired by my late father, pastor PH Ferguson, so he will always be dear to my heart. I’m sad to say goodbye to him, but I’m looking forward to focusing my energy behind the scenes and developing more content for our beloved viewers and supporters,” he said.
