FANS of TV series the world over sometimes have difficulty distinguishing between character and actor.

Many actors and actresses have had to play the role of a character that fans just love to hate.

And nailing it often means you have to bear the brunt of the fans’ hatred for the character. Introducing Kelders van Geheime’s nuwe geitjie Chrisentia, portrayed by Marlese van Wyk.

She was introduced to viewers as a mysterious character in Soebatskloof, sneaking around the Marais’ mansion and attempting to run over Gershwin with a car.

Fans of the show finally got to see the face of the new troublemaker and in an interview with the Daily Voice, we unmasked the actor behind Chrisentia.

Paarliet Van Wuk said: “My character on Kelders Van Geheime is Chrisentia. She’s bold, disciplined, and expressive (even through her silence), the kind of character people love to hate.
