On the 30th of April 2015, EbonyLife Tv will begin airing episodes of its new TV show “Desperate Housewives Africa”. The African adaptation of this ABC hit show is set to star Nini Wacera, Omotu Bissong, Michelle Dede, Kehinde Bankole, Linda Osifo and Dolapo Oni.
Characters breakdown:
When an outwardly successful neighbour Rume Bello, played by Marcy Dolapo Oni, succumbs to death, her friends continue to deal with their everyday lives and, as seen through Rume’s eyes, the story mysteriously unravels in a dramatic, comedic whirlwind which will have you at the edge of your seat calling for more.
Michelle Dede portrays the character, Tari Gambadia. Her ultimate desperation is unknown at first as she competes for the attention of a new hunky neighbour who has his own ulterior motives?
Nini Wacera, portrays Ese De Souza, a housewife who struggles with maintaining the perfect family … but will her outward impression of perfection successfully mask the disturbing dysfunction in her household? Kehinde Bankole, as Kiki Obi, continues a rather sordid and sleazy love affair; will her husband catch her in the act?
And Omotu Bissong, who stars as Funke Lawal, copes with life as a stay-at-home, fatigued mother of four boisterous and rambunctious children. What possibly could be her desperation?
Hope it’ll be as fun as the original series ’cause i’m a fan of the original, saw all the seasons 91 – 8), Nigerian too dey overdo things sha, let’s hope it’ll be okay on African levels.
Lol, here’s to hoping for the best!
