From airing the first interracial kiss to tackling other taboo issues like homosexuality, HIV, incest &drug addiction #Isidingo wasn't just daily on screen melodrama but a reflection of society &the things more importantly the things society would not confront.

In fact if there was ever anything "negative" about it; was that at times it was too real. Perhaps maybe that's why it got glossed up in later years and moved away from being a show about a small mine community trying to survive everyday life. #Isidingo

And whilst I personally feel it lost part of its edginess when it chose to in the late 2000s and 2010s the show's linchpin was always its acting. I dare anyone to tell me a show that has the alumni of talent #Isidingo had (and the incredible stories the brought to life)

So with @SABC3 currently airing reruns I hope there'll one day be a way to have the entire series on-demand so that future generations can watch some of the incredible story-arcs as a whole and not just single "memorable episodes" #Isidingo

I have a few recommendations I'd love to drop in this thread (and I encourage fellow fans to do the same); but the one that sticks with me to this day is Len Cooper, Leon du Plessis & Tanya Raymond "love triangle" that played out in 2005 #Isidingo

@BrandonAuret was then and still is now one of the best actors SA ever produced and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. His performance was the first time I'd ever seen genuine male grief (anger, sadness, confusion)portrayed on screen. #Isidingo

And hopefully performances and storylines like that will be #Isidingo s legacy. It deserved a better end; but hopefully that's not what it will be judged by. Thank you to all the cast and crew for the memories and pushing the envelope. You left behind big shoes to fill.
