Round one started with Rhythm City trying to take away Isidingo’s 7pm slot. Isidingo fans will recall that Rhythm City, 7de Laan and Skeem Saam got too hot for the Deep previously at 6:30pm and they’ve been owning the 7pm slot for a while. Now it looks like they have nowhere to hide because the only open slots with no S.A soapies are the 17:30 and 6pm.
They opened the scene with Frank and Barker and won round one against Fats and his mom. And as much as Rhythm Citizens have loyalties across Mzansi, one couldn’t help but tune into SABC3. Its instinctive, an unbreakable habit, its goanna take a while for people to remember that there is another soapie at 7pm.
What Etv did, was give the 6:30 slot to SABC with the likes of Skeem Saam and 7de Laan hitting one home run after the other. So the question remains, who will make the first move? RC or Isidingo? Whoever moves first will be seen as a weakling and history tends to repeat itself in soapieville.
So, round one goes to Isidingo who showed no signs of sweat, nervousness and took complete ownership of the slot.
