Here's the lowdown on the
Binnelanders action coming up in February. Please note that there won't be a show on both 9 February and 16 February because of Rugby.
As you'll see there's no tease for 28 February - this will be added as soon as it comes in.
Thursday, 1 FebPippa suspects Stefanie is more taken with Dr Gideon than she’s prepared to admit, but her main concern is for her own floundering relationship with Malan.
She’s also fed up with Elise’s far-fetched theories.
When complications arise, the nursing staff have to rush to save At’s life. Frankie overreacts completely when someone comes to see her at the coffee shop. Ras wonders what’s potting when he has trouble getting hold of Lourens Naudé - why has At recently hired a new lawyer?
Roelien wonders whether Jimmy shot At despite his protests that he’s innocent. Won’t Roelien’s own statement to the police incriminate her, and the people she’s trying to protect? Things get complicated when Ras shares an interesting snippet of news with her.
Friday, 2 FebSuddenly Roelien is the chief suspect - and with good reason. Kitte has a gift for Toeks, who’s tickled pink when he praises her for the way in which she’s handling Frankie. Elise’s latest theory is even more ridiculous than all the previous ones.
Rico is stunned to hear that Stefanie and Gideon went on a date in his absence, but Gideon is quick to explain that she’s far too emotional for his liking.
Dominique hints to Inspector Ras that Roelien wanted some sort of official recognition from her father. Although Roelien is adamant she’s innocent, she can feel the noose tightening around her neck - everything points to the fact that she shot At Koster.
Monday, 5 FebPippa and Malan’s relationship is starting to take strain. When Malan becomes increasingly preoccupied and glum, Pippa suspects she knows why he’s avoiding her.
Frankie and Toeks are living under one roof, but there’s no talk of peace in the home - Toeks’s girl scout attitude is driving Frankie insane. Toeks is excited to think she’s found the perfect hobby with which Frankie can while away the time.
Rico is shocked when an item of clothing belonging to Stefanie, shows up in a strange place. Chris is fascinated when Dominique shares a few home truths with him.
Tuesday, 6 FebToeks has every right to be spitting mad with Frankie when she kills Kitte’s gift to her, but sadly this is one problem which even a highly competent doctor like Rico can’t solve.
Toeks admits she’s at a loss when it comes to Frankie, but an upbeat Kitte promises to come up with a contingency plan. Toeks hates his idea, and feels it’ll do Frankie more harm than good.
Now that At is on the road to recovery, he’ll once again become a target - what if he can ID his attacker? Is Roelien making a play for sympathy, or is she being brutally honest with Chris for a change? Kitte can’t believe his ears when Malan confides in him.
Wednesday, 7 FebKitte is desperate to convince Malan not to make a huge mistake but he fails miserably - Malan is determined to take the rap. With Malan still a closed book, Pippa realises something’s very wrong with him.
Stefanie gets mad when Gideon ignores her, but she also knows she has no choice but to try and find some way of working with this obnoxious man. Toeks is bowled over when she gets a big, fat kiss in her coffee shop.
Ras is at a loss when someone suddenly confesses to the crime.
Thursday, 8 FebRas isn’t sure he’s found the shooter. When there’s a huge disaster at Toeks’s flat, will she move out and just drop poor Frankie like a hot potato? Obviously the two women don’t see eye to eye regards how successful their living together has been.
Gideon and Jennifer mull over the future of Binneland - the outlook is bleak now that they are like a ship without a captain. Roelien snaps at Malan and insists that At Koster got what he deserved. Even though Kitte is cornered, he doesn’t buckle under pressure from Inspector Ras.
Friday, 9 FebNo show.Monday, 12 FebFrankie is taken by surprise when she hears the Combrink home is on the market. She and Toeks call a truce and decide not to talk to each other.
A greedy Dominique decides it’s time to increase their turnover. Gideon resents the fact that the clinic is a pawn in At Koster’s hands - what to do when the man isn’t there or capable of making important decisions?
Mercifully, Inspector Ras has seen through Kitte’s charade and let him go. Malan confesses to a shaken Pippa that he accidentally shot his own father. He’s touched to discover the extent of Kitte’s concern for him. When At comes to, his first words have Roelien in a tizz.
Tuesday, 12 FebGideon and Jennifer wonder if they can trust At to act responsibly with all the power he commands. Is it possible that there’s a palace revolution brewing now that At is out of the picture?
Dominique is forced to swallow her pride -slowly but surely she’s starting to realise she won’t get anywhere near At, unless she goes via Roelien.
Frankie has a treat in store for Toeks, but will her sister-in-law be impressed with the surprise she has planned?
Kitte informs a horrified At that he’s surrendered himself to the police. When Malan also confesses to the crime, Inspector Ras is faced with a huge dilemma – who should he believe? At is grateful to Roelien for withholding certain facts from the police, but Pippa has had enough of all the lies and deception.
Can anyone blame Malan for his outburst, given the cruel way in which his own father taunts him?
Wednesday, 13 FebRoelien confesses that she could’ve made Malan abandon his plans, but she didn’t. She panics when Inspector Ras asks to speak to Malan - in private. At’s defense is that he can’t recall what happened on the night of the shooting. Roelien is unsettled to notice that all is not as it should be with her father - why is he acting so strangely?
A desperate Frankie dearly wants something that Elise has, but like a stubborn donkey the woman refuses to hand it over to her.
When Gideon convenes a meeting of doctors, Roelien gets suspicious. What is he up to now?
Kitte suggests that a reluctant Malan visit his father in hospital, but when father and son finally meet, will they be able to bury the hatchet?
Thursday, 15 FebPippa isn’t sure Malan has earned her unfailing loyalty, but the two of them finally have the conversation they’ve been postponing for so long. Malan’s lawyer knows they’re faced with an uphill battle if they want to prove his innocence.
It’s with a tinge of regret that At realises Roelien doesn’t look up to him as a father figure. An embarrassed Toeks reluctantly admits that Kitte may in fact get the idea she’s after him.
Kitte chides Elise for speculating about the odds of At making a full recovery.
Gideon believes the senior staff should take matters into their own hands to save Binneland’s reputation. He and Jennifer suspect that At and a very nervous Chris have some sort of secret agreement. When Gideon starts asking questions, Chris and Roelien get extremely defensive.
Friday, 16 Feb.No show.
Monday, 19 FebWhen a livid Elise realises she’s been short-changed, Frankie knows she’d better stay out of her way.
Chris might be incriminating himself by being and acting so paranoid - it just focuses unnecessary attention on him.
Gideon and Jennifer are at a loss for words - At is as meek as a lamb whenever the feisty Dominique is near.
Kitte’s keen to ask Toeks out on a date ... so all she has to do is to say yes, not so?
Relations are strained when Pippa and Roelien clear the air. Does this mean it’s the end of their friendship?
Tuesday, 20 FebChris acts nonchalantly when Gideon asks permission to watch him operate, but for how long can he hide his illicit activities? Maybe Chris’s game is over, because Gideon has seen one of his so-called “breast reconstructions”, and the patient’s scars look nothing like the textbook said they should.
Petra’s been spending like mad, and it’s making people suspicious. As usual, Elise has a weird and wonderful explanation for all this.
When Stefanie picks up on irregularities in the admin, you have to wonder – how good are Roelien and company at covering their tracks?
Matron picks up that something’s very wrong with At when he gets delirious.
Wednesday, 21 FebDominique and Petra’s defensive attitudes make Gideon Basson realise they’re up to something. Matron and Jennifer have a plan to help At get better faster - hopefully Malan will agree to play along.
Frankie’s starting to get bored… What outrageous idea will she come up with this time?
Malan is flattered and shocked to discover that Dominique has her eye on him, but being the man-eater that she is, she’s keeping her options open. Roelien is unimpressed when Dominique flirts with Chris – is Roelien really that interested in her boss?
Pippa’s stunned when At has a quick word with her – about Malan, of all people! Does this mean the two of them will declare a truce? The odds are in their favour… provided that Pippa can keep Malan out of reach of the lusty Dominique.
Thursday, 22 FebGideon is less that subtle when he starts fishing about Chris, but a professional Stefanie refuses to be disloyal to her boss. However, she begins to doubt Chris’s integrity when someone calls from the Cape, asking about a kidney he supposedly removed. Apart from this blunder, there’s more bad news in store for the transplant team.
Toeks is aghast at Frankie’s latest scheme. She’s sure that a “tough love” approach is just what Frankie needs to shake off her recent moodiness.
Jennifer comes up with a plan to distract a tired and grumpy Chris.
Pippa puts her foot down and refuses to work in At Koster’s ward, because wherever he is, Malan will be. Poor, clumsy Veronica gets a tongue-lashing from At.
Friday, 23 FebA greedy Dominique stays cool in a crisis, but a worried Chris is convinced they’ve gone too far this time.
Toeks has a plan to lift Frankie’s mood, so she ropes in the ever faithful Kitte.
Stefanie and Gideon have come to the conclusion that Chris is defrauding the medical aids, so Stefanie does a bit of snooping on her own.
The illegal transplants continue, despite one of the donors’ fears that she’s not doing the right thing. When Elise hears about a kidney which was found on the back seat of a car, everyone dismisses the tale as an urban legend.
Frankie is furious when she catches Toeks in the act of making a secret phone call.
Monday, 26 FebStefanie confides in Gideon, sharing with him her suspicions about Chris.
Chris warns At that they have to stop their activities immediately, but will At listen to him? When one of his patients becomes very ill, Chris is out of reach – he’s having a romantic night out with Jennifer, blissfully unaware that his patient is at death’s door. Does this mean the team’s escapades will now be exposed?
Toeks, who can’t for the life of her understand Frankie’s weird behaviour, decides she’s had enough and leaves the wild child to her own devices.
At is a dreadful patient, but hopefully Matron will keep him in check – she won’t let anybody push her around.
Tuesday, 27 FebGideon saves someone’s life, but now there are more questions than answers in his mind. Petra has to get her deathly sick cousin out of the hospital - and fast, before a nosy Dr Basson starts asking all kinds of awkward questions.
Matron and Kitte are stunned when At slips back into management mode and starts running the hospital from his sickbed.
Toeks is frantic with worry when Frankie doesn’t answer her phone calls. She’s seriously unimpressed when she has to step in and break up an explosive situation at Karla’s house.
Dominique is laughing all the way to the bank, but Roelien is one who has to shoulder much of the responsibility.
Before Chris walks in on Stefanie and Gideon in his office, Gideon comes up with an ingenious plan to hide what they were doing.
