The CeaTha ship is finallly sailing! or they will probably ignore each other for another 6 months

The Nthabiseng storyline is quite messy story telling from the writers, she could have killed herself or died after the last miscarriage, or could have died from the bad muthi from the fake sangoma whilst trying to conceive again or something, why such a complicated, out of character and long winded story behind her death?
The prodigal daughter can only be Millicent or Jaxon's former PA, can't think of any other females who left Emnyameni, unless its sormeone we had not been introduced to before, or maybe its this mysterious surprise visitor that won't leave Sakhile's house.......
The way they just abondened the Ngcuka and the virgin ritual killing storyline........

I think the prodigal daughter is Thandiswa, I mean she disappeared then returned with a colourful story, obviously everyone is gonna wonder where she went than she has to tell the a her own version of story behind her disappearance

@Timone You are right. Smoke and Mirrors needs to hit the iron whilst still hot lest it goes downhill. Isn't the show was supposed to tackle Tha's journey in ending the trio. By now, I feel like she should have at least gotten rid of one them, maybe Mthetho since I feel like he has less relevance in the show than the other two. They are dragging this revenge ploy and it becomes tiring to watch.
A war should ensue between Tha's camp and the trio and we need to see fireworks. Some of us do not watch TV in December hence if they have plans to execute some big story then.....

Is there really anything between Mthetho and Leroy or it is just some baiting stuff.

So Ngcuka just left? Without a virgin sacrifice being done? Woooow

@Vanvan07

Well....you can say that.
KeDisemba, family reunions and all. So it is difficult to be tuned in for an 18:30 or a 21:00 when there is so much catch up to do, yazi.

How are your DEcembers like?

Timone

Ja its difficult to stick to the tv schedule in December, theres just a lot happening. Catching up with family and the reunions and the conversations keep your mind off tv. And just being away from your space and being elsewhere takes you out of your routine (for those of us who travel "home" in December).

Back to the show, @ #1999 they have abondened Tha's mission at Mnyameni to a point that I doubt there will be any impact when she finally acts on it, she is just a regular local now, her storyline was so much more interesting when she was still an escort in Joburg, there is really nothing intriguing or going for her now, even aboo Cindy and others' storylines are more interesting than hers and shes supposed to be i "starring" se show, now we have oo Martha carrying the show.
Mthetho and Leroy are supposed to be an undercover couple because Mthetho is still closeted and yet there is no longer any indication that they are still together even though we had never seen them break up, just another abondened idea.
Thandiswa and Ceaser's affair is also another storyline that seemed to have been abondened, their hooking up again is so random even now, more especially amidst the Sakhile affair rumours.
Then theres Ngcuka, the ghost of Tha's sister, Milly all just gone. Did Milly start a new school in the middle of the year? Whats the story there?

@Timone. Yes the change in the December routine is why some international soapies like Neighbours and Home and Away take a hiatus and return the following year after the festivities.

I second you there, I mean one can literally watch the show with Martha and still be satisfied. She is nailing her part hence making Tha's relevance flimsy. They have to utilize now because like you said, if the execution is done next year in June, it would lack the impact that it would have done a few days after her arrival in Emnyameni.

You know when they revealed that Mthetho and Leroy were an undercover couple, I thot Leroy would be instrumental in helping Tha on her revenge against the trio. Like help her end him or something. But then, till now Tha is not even aware of the trio. She only thinks Jaxon is the only enemy. I am asking, why did she even come to Emnyameni then because yohhhh

Then Samson Ndamase's will storyline is back again? Didn't the man die months ago and the will was read out clarifying that the depot would be going to the trio. The sharing of the estates were put on hold????

Yea, Cesaer and Tha can ignore each other for three months thene a simple text from Tha, "I feel so alone" has Ngonyama booking a room and spending the night with her. The two do have chemistry, their affair should be a regular thing not a booty call kinda setup

Yena uXoliswa comes and vanishes. She was much more active when Tha was in Joburg, now not so much. I do not understand her silence.
For Milly, I initially thought she was going to college but then it does not make sense. She went to a high school, mid term, mid year and it has to be a boarding school. I think their tactic of making her escape Nguka's plan to have her killed was flawed. Plus wasn't something bad supposed to happen to the trio for failing the mission. Was Milli the only virgin in the town that her departure vanishes the mission altogether with Nguka leaving for good??
