“I love Mme Florence. She’s such a great actress however there was no need for skeem saam to replace Meikie even if it’s temporary. They should have just written her to go visit her family in the village or something,” another wrote.
“Switching characters makes people lose interest, couldn’t they have just booked her an overseas vacation instead of bringing another person to play the part,” reads another tweet.
