The storyline has changed, and so have the characters and actors who play them. New faces have been given a chance to show off their talent by Mfundi Vundla, but only a few of them managed to wow Mzansi.

Most of the newbies have failed to impress loyal viewers of the show with their style of acting. They still need some experience to give a more convincing performance on-screen.

Generations: The Legacy actor responds to online criticism 

Jada McGowan experienced a lot of online criticism this week after her cringy performance alongside veteran actress Tinah Mnumzana. McGowan failed to give a convincing performance, and quite a number of viewers picked up on it.

Social media users shared their reactions online and questioned the young lady’s performance. In a recent TikTok video posted two days ago, McGowan responded to the criticism.

The performer filmed herself watching the soapie with family and jumped out of her seat when she saw herself appear on the screen:

“Guys, I found my camera.”

Social media users shared their thoughts about her performance on the show in a thread of comments on her video that’s currently sitting at a million views.
