Reandi Grey as Elizabeth Price and Jay Anstey as Lexi Price

New faces in Season 2

The secret son

Robbie Hugo (André Lötter) is a nobody on their radar. He doesn’t even live in Sandton. “He’s a jeep jockey. He loves the thrill of adventuring and he has led tours out across Kenya and northern Africa. The last thing he thinks of is being part of the Price family,” explains André. But that’s exactly who he is.

Robbie was raised by bar-owning Jerry (not seen), a well-meaning man who helped Robbie’s mom Janet (Kate Normington, who you’ll recognise as Michelle from Tali’s Wedding Diary and Tali’s Baby Diary) hide her secret: that while working as married Sebastian Price’s personal assistant, they had an affair and she fell pregnant.

“Jerry made Janet promise that she wouldn’t tell anyone – especially Robbie – that Jerry wasn’t his father. Jerry raised him as his own son and that’s how they finished off when Jerry died following a lengthy illness.”

Having broken down at Jerry’s funeral, Janet’s revelation to her son that he’s a part of the Price family sends him not on a physical journey to Joburg to find his place in the world, but also on an intense psychological journey.

“He’s now questioning everything. His entire life has somewhat been a lie,” says André. “Robbie is lost and needs to find himself. He wants to know more about his family, his siblings, the world that he is part of. It’s important to him and it’s weighing him down.”

Robbie isn’t lying when he rocks up in Joburg claiming to be a Price, but that’s not the picture Angelique paints. “She is tough. She knows what her ex-husband got up to and she knows that she cannot allow any more of the Price assets to be split up. She declares war and starts convincing her daughters not to trust ‘this new pretender’,” explains André.

It won’t just be Robbie getting involved – his mom and brother Ben (Arno Greeff) will also introduced to the Price world as they try to help Robbie with his new life.

Lurking in the shadows

And here’s a huge one: Nico Panagio is joining as Detective Marco Andino. The host of Survivor SA takes on this interesting role as he’s investigating a murder connected to the Price family … but he’s lying to his two suspects.

Dineo thinks that he’s just a nosey parker who is sticking his nose in other people’s business at Legacy Investments, like an annoying ankle-biting Maltese poodle that just won’t stop. And with Felicity, he lies about his work and seduces her with his charm and brooding good looks.

“Felicity has a need and a yearning for love, to be accepted. So when Marco shows an interest in her, she doesn’t question the missing dots and the holes in her story,” says Mary-Anne.

It’s going to be a difficult ride for Felicity when she figures out who Marco is and what he’s in town for. She and Dineo think that they’ve literally got away with murder (after killing someone who tried to blackmail them) but what they don’t know is that Marco is connected to the murder victim and he’s searching for the truth about Darren’s demise… and to get payback.
