It doesn’t work like that. I wish I could break it down for you but I’m tired. But trust me, this cast is perfect. Just because you know how old the actors are, doesn’t mean they don’t fit the characters. Your wish comes from a place of not knowing & I don’t blame you

It will follow the story of Puleng Khumalo, a 16-year-old who gets herself transferred to the same high school as a girl whom she suspects is her long-lost sister. Another tweep, @GSBrazy, said that the 24-year-old is too old to play a teenage role after Natasha posted behind the scenes pics of the show.
