Hillside Mysteries


Some pretty crazy shit has been going down on 7de Laan over the last year: underground fight clubs, cults, hallucinations, cross-dressing, HIV, secret marriages, abortions and murder.  The 7de Laan writers have certainly been pushing the envelope and kept viewers’ tongues wagging – which is exactly what a good soap should do.

However, it seems some things on the show are destined to remain mysteries.  I have compiled a list of some of my ongoing questions about recent happenings in Hillside:
  • Why are all of the nurses at the kliniek mute?
  • How does Esti afford a two-bedroom apartment, the exorbitant school and koshuis fees of Thomas’ private school and designer outfits from the boutique on a waitress’s salary?
  • Why does Esti’s apartment not have a stove? 
  • What do Gloria, Thandeka and Evelina look like? 
  • How many clients does Xander have if all he does is sit and look pensive in coffee shops?
  • Why do the Welmans never lock their front door?
  • Who was the Ringmaster?
  • Where exactly is this crocodile-infested river that offers a perfect way to get rid of corpses?
  • What the fuck is a shoobie doobie?
If you have any theories on the questions above or you have questions of your own, feel free to comment below.
