The Loeries wrapped up last night with a final round of awards focusing on the various TV categories, radio, Africa and Middle East, events and PR and the special awards.
Popular SABC2 soapie
7de Laan has never been the same since Oubaas (played by Pierre van Pletzen) and his on-screen wife, Hilda (Annelisa Weiland), exited the show.
Van Pletzen, who was arguably one of Soapville’s most likeable characters, left the show four years ago, with Weiland following suit.
No ‘visits’ from Oubaas and Hilda
Fans of Van Pletzen was hoping he would still visit the show as Danie Odendaal Productions announced at the time of his departure that he’ll “visit often” and won’t be written out of
7de Laan. The Laanies were devastated when the news broke and the show hasn’t been able to find another heart-warming couple since.
