Lydia Forson

Celebrated Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson is definitely making a crossover to the South African movie scene following reports that she is joining the cast of the country’s hit TV series, Scandal.

Scandal is a South African television soap opera produced by Ochre Media about people who work for the fictitious Johannesburg-based newspaper The Voice, with their pressurized deadlines, the chaos of breaking news, the fight for increased circulation and advertisement, and their (no longer) private lives and personal angst. It is shown on eTV South and Ghana as well.

The award winning Ghanaian actress, according to unconfirmed reports had already touched down in South Africa to join the other cast members for the series.

“She left Ghana Sunday night,” sources said.

Other details about her role on Scandal are yet to be confirmed. Efforts to personally reach the one time African Movie Academy Awards Best Actress yesterday proved futile. Her phone contacts were not going through.

 However Ghanaians are assured of her raising the country’s flag high with her acting talent in South Africa. She is good at what she does.    

Meanwhile, Scandal, according to tvrage.com is not only about the behind-the-scenes drama that goes into breaking today's hottest story - it's also about the intriguing personalities in this intense, character-driven drama.

The storylines revolve around very different characters, each one linked to The Voice newspaper and brought by unique circumstances. Their beliefs, egos and actions constantly influence each other's lives while their personal aspirations, noble and dishonourable, colour their everyday realities.

Lydia Forson is possibly the new cast on the series and much will be expected of her.
