7de Laan actress, Annelisa Weiland has decided to leave soapie after nineteen years playing the role of Hilda.
Annelisa who played the role of Hilda, a kind, sweet, loyal character who made it to the small screen as a receptionist, and later played other roles including a cashier at T&T, and has been a waitress and chef at Oppiekoffie.
"Hilda has been a part of my life since 2000 and what a privilege to have been part of the supportive environment that 7de Laan has provided," says Annelisa.
"It has been a pleasure to have portrayed quirky little Hilda with her terrible dress sense, the unavoidable “serpies” and subjecting everyone to her terrible cooking," she added.
"I have also enjoyed discovering the more serious and sophisticated side of Hilda, and I have been fortunate to have interacted with so many interesting characters over the years," she said.
"Sadly, it is time to bid Hilda farewell and to discover new challenges, opportunities and horizons in my old stamping ground, the Cape where I was born," says Annelisa.
Hilda will appear on 7de Laan until September 2019.
