When it comes to romance and relationships in Hillside, Marko (Francois Lensley) and Rickus (André Lötter) aren’t what you’d call role models thanks to their many, many flops with love. “Shame, they’re really kind and try to help Thomas with advice, but they give him conflicting tips,” says 15year-old Vian Singleton, who portrays smitten matric student Thomas. The teen character notices 16-year-old Mieke (Reze-Tiana Wessels, who is 23) when he bumps into his friend Shawn (Deànré Reiners) in the arcade and “he has instant butterflies. She likes him too, and that’s where trouble starts,” says Vian with a laugh. Because while he’s happy being himself, “guardian angels” Marko and Rickus have other ideas.
