The longrunning soapie Egoli ending next Tuesday on M-Net at 18:30 filmed an alternative fake ending, fake additional scenes and taken extreme other measures to keep the final conclusion of the soapie secret.
''Egoli fans are bound to be moved by the show's last moments before the final credits roll,'' says Burgert Muller, Egoli's executive producer.
To keep the finale a secret, only Egoli creator Franz Marx knew exactly how the story would conclude. A fake ending was filmed, as well as additional scenes. The editors working on the final episode, were only called in at the last minute. ''We knew that the guessing-game would be on and had to go to all this effort to ensure that nothing – or nobody – spoils the story for all our loyal fans,'' says Burgert Muller.
As I told you first, Egoli will be followed by 18 special episodes from 3 March (the final new Egoli episode is on 2 March), presented by actors from the show now and roped in from the past.
