We can all agree that etvScandal has managed to wow millions of soap lovers with its drama and exciting storylines. The show has managed to up its game with interesting storylines that have got fans’ attention. In the mix of things, Scandal has managed to stand the test of time as its airing spans decades.
Despite being one of the most extended-aired drama series, the production team has managed to keep the interesting storylines alive and relevant by also introducing new characters and mixing them with old ones. We also see the casting of Mdala, Nhlamulo, the Kubekas, and more. Despite the fact that those actors did not have experience, they still managed to kill their roles, and the storylines are keeping us glued to our screens.
No doubt we were suddenly moved by the exit of Romeo Medupe’s character, played by Hungani Ndlovu, but we have all found love in Nhlamulo and Mdala. Their storylines are more than exciting and capped with thrills.
South African actor James Sithole joined the cast of e.tv’s Scandal in 2021, and fans fell in love with him the moment he showed up on our screens. Talking about joining Scandal, the actor was so excited, as this was his first big role.
I had hoped to see myself in one of the biggest shows on e.tv. I have watched Scandal! since the beginning and my favourite storyline was the one of Mangi doing drugs. I looked up to Sello Maake-ka Ncube and I wanted to be part of the soap and be his other son and fix the life of the brother in drug crisis.”
Is Mdala leaving etvScandal?
Recently, there was a developing storyline on the soap opera that left people asking if the actor James Sithole is leaving the popular soap. The way Mdala is behaving and being too secretive to his wife, like he is hiding something, looks weird, and he looks like someone who has chest pains or a disease needs to be tested to see what’s wrong with him.
Scandal has received praise in recent months for its well-crafted storylines, and the writers are not dragging out stories. We’re still wondering what the writer is up to with Mdala’s evolving story, which alarms fans who believe James Sithole is leaving the TV soap.
Tinashe Eugene contacted the actor, questioning about these rumors, and the actor denied leaving the show, stating that he still had a contract with Scandal and that his focus is now on working with the Scandal crew, not what social media is claiming.
