Q&A: CINTAINE SCHUTTE ON ‘WYFIE’ CHARACTER

How did you develop into a part of Wyfie?

I did an audition on a Friday; on the Monday I went for a chemistry check with Beáta; and two days later I began capturing! I used to be fairly shocked when every little thing occurred so shortly.

I’m very blissful that the function got here my approach. I had already watched a little bit of Wyfie, and it regarded like an important venture, however I additionally wished to problem myself.

On the time, Marcel Spaumer [head writer] and his staff already had an concept of Maggie’s storyline, however not too far into the longer term. That was additionally a brand new expertise, as a result of, normally, if you star in a collection, you get all of the episodes’ scripts earlier than you begin capturing, however right here I needed to give up myself utterly to a brand new course of, as a result of they wrote as they filmed, block by block.

At first, I assumed my character would solely have a small story arc, simply be out and in of the collection, however then it was so cool that they determined to make Maggie’s function larger.

Inform us extra about Maggie.

Maggie is a professor. She’s head of the Political Science division at Eike. She is mates with Ragel [Therese Bam], who works in the identical division. She meets Shay fairly by probability and, because the story goes on, they ceaselessly run into one another and begin to join, with Maggie not understanding that Ragel is definitely Shay’s mom. That is the place issues get intriguing since you additionally catch Shay in the course of her storyline the place her relationship together with her mom is just not nice, after which on prime of that she begins this relationship with one in every of Ragel’s colleagues, and somebody older than she is.

Are there similarities between you and Maggie?

I’m not like Maggie in any respect however I believe Shay evokes a softness in Maggie and that’s one thing that I’ve as Cintaine, a softness. It’s my golden rule in life to do every little thing from a relaxed place, as a result of then you may handle something. And that’s what Shay brings out in Maggie. She tears down all these partitions, so Maggie can simply be.

How did you resolve to strategy the way you performed the function?

Maggie is sort of 20 years older than Shay however I made a decision that I didn’t need it to be about an intergenerational relationship or a homosexual relationship. I wished it to revolve round her falling in love with Shay, and the way sudden it’s.

Maggie has simply returned to South Africa after being in Germany for 12 years, the place she was in a relationship with a person, Ruan. It didn’t work out and she or he got here again to South Africa. Maggie promised herself that she was going to begin a brand new chapter, develop new roots, be targeted, construct a life and perhaps be single for some time. However, as life goes, Shay captivates her, and now they have to navigate the challenges and criticisms of society collectively. She’s an clever girl: she is aware of what individuals will assume. However this time she’s a bit egocentric, within the sense that she now not cares about what different individuals assume or anticipate of her.
