CURRENT STORYLINE Viewers were looking forward to her character, Harriet Khoza's budding romance with her arch-enemy Hector Sebata (Rapulana Seiphemo) before she disappeared to Northwest province on the show.

The storyline was conceptualised way before her husband contracted the coronavirus and passed away.
Viewers preferred her romantic storyline with Hector in comparison to Brutus (Themba Ndaba) and Noma's (Brenda Ngxoli) romance that dominated the show for over a month.
Fans also complained about Thando Sebata's (Jessica Nkosi) absence as well as Lorraine Moropa's character (Olerato) throughout the month.
#TheQueenMzansi viewers were relieved to see the actress's return to the show after she recently shared that she received a beautiful welcome back from the Ferguson Films team on set.
It is unclear when Connie Ferguson will appear on the show at this stage.
