Hospital dramas are a prescription for pure entertainment. Whether it’s about the relationships between the doctors, the nurses and their patients, the complicated cases – which are as intriguing as any detective drama – the tense and inherently dramatic surgeries, or those juicy personal drama and scandals behind the scenes, it’s all so addictive. Now Showmax has the RX for your viewing needs… WOUNDS This local gem focuses not only on the wounds that get treated in the fictional Healing Hands Hospital, but also the inner wounds that the medical professionals – especially nurses – grapple with daily.

Killing Eve Season 3 Thursdays (from 26 May) SABC3 (*193) 21:00 Midway through the season 2 finale of Killing Eve, things got messy according to one point of view – or worked out just fabulously from another. Psychopathic assassin Villanelle (Jodie Comer) calmly slit a throat, MI6 investigator Eve (Sandra Oh) thought she’d made a colossal mess of things, and Eve’s diabolically cunning and astute superior Carolyn Martens (Fiona Shaw) revealed that the deadly game had played out just as she had anticipated, with her pawns Villanelle and Eve filling their roles perfectly. One bloody axe murder and some stampeding across moral boundaries later though, and the season ended in a shambles of a cliffhanger. It leaves a giant question over what will happen following the ugliest break-up… THE FALLOUT…

We’ve got elite athletes who’re going to push the envelope and put their lives on the line to show us their talents.” Don’t expect magic tricks though – the team had to build a special stage for the performers who’re doing things on a massive scale, including vehicle stunts. “We’re giving away $500 000 (R7.9 million) and we’re expecting huge things,” says Simon of the five-episode season.

When Rorisang (Rebecca Mfoti) met Freddie (Charles Baloyi) a few months ago, she was convinced that she’d finally met her wealthy knight in shining armour. Freddie portrayed himself as Dintle’s (Mapaseka Koetle) rich businessman uncle, when in fact he is Dintle’s homeless uncle who is being hunted by the police for taking a less-than-flattering video of cops breaking the law. Even when the truth about his identity came out, Rori stood by her man as she’d already fallen in love with the gentle giant. And it seems that even through their crooked new schemes, their love may triumph. BLOWN-UP DREAMS In their quest for fame and fortune, one of Rori and Freddie’s plans backfires on them. “They aspire to be more than they are, more than just ‘township people’ who…

And for Diego Luna’s character Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, that’s the only way he’s going to survive in drama series Narcos: Mexico… by not picking a fight with the wrong people. “Those are very interesting words, because he’s part of the wrong people crowd,” explains Diego. “Félix is a criminal.

Much of Makwande’s (Anga Makubalo) identity is shaped by his career as a soccer star. “Makwande can’t imagine his future without soccer, it’s his life,” says Anga, whose character’s dreams were shattered after he was recently diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, a rare heart muscle disease that means he needs to retire immediately or risk dying mid-match. Rather than telling his musician girlfriend Esther (Didintle Khunou) about his situation, Makwande hides it. “He is insecure and it’s not that Esher has given him a reason to believe that she’s dating him for his fame. He’s terrified that she will dump him if she discovers the truth,” adds the actor.

There’s a pattern to Durban Gen hospital’s infamous womaniser surgeon Lindelani’s (Mike Ndlangamandla) dating history. At the start of the romance, he showers his love with attention and gifts. He’s overly flirty, and after she falls for him and they have sex, he drops her like a bad habit.

Alas, she was blinded by love. “Thembi thought that she hit it off with Lindelani. He recently invited her to his home, where they shared a meal and stories about their childhood, but it was just a game as Lindelani feels nothing for Thembi,” explains Sibongokuhle. Lindelani has resorted to ignoring Thembi’s calls this fortnight, leaving her confused. “She…

Lucy (Manaka Ranaka) was spot on when she was worried about what was happening at the Holy House, a church her daughter Mbali (Diteboho Ledwaba) attended and was given a fancy new device by days after visiting. And Lucy isn’t the only one who had suspicions about the church. New cop Mpho (Junior Singo) also grew curious about the institution and has been investigating them. “He did his research and instead of only looking at criminal files that could give him clues about the church and its leaders, he looked at the congregants’ insurance details,” Junior says. And what he finds is enough to send chills down anyone’s spine! THE DISCOVERY! “Mpho makes a discovery about what has been going on at Holy House. What looks like a church is…

We spoke to Rosie about preparing for her Sanditon season, head to toe. “I had sessions with dialect coach Majella Hurley for the period accent. And I was listening a lot to Rose and her accent to try not be too far from her because we’re sisters,” says Rosie. “I also did dance lessons with choreographer Sammy Murray. She could even teach someone like me with two left feet! And we got sent videos of professional dancers doing it (the ball dances) so I was just watching them on repeat.” Alison’s wardrobe also offered Rosie a window into…

Apart from sharing appearances, the duo do everything in unison, from living under one roof, to dressing alike and – yes – even dating the same man. “We’ve always been close, and we enjoy doing everything together. Other people might find our lifestyle unconventional, but it works for us,” explains Owami. The 31-year-old twins who’re from Vosloorus on the east of Johannesburg came into the spotlight in 2011 after they married the same man, who they each share a daughter with.…

James (Dingaan Mokebe) and Imani (Zonke Mchunu) have gone through rough patches in their relationship but for the most part, they’re happy. And even when they’re fighting, it’s still a good romance because they always kiss and make up. At least they did… “Every relationship has ups and downs, and James and Imani are currently in a down phase where they’re experiencing problems and are starting to disagree with and misunderstand each other more than usual,” says Dingaan. The problem right now is that Imani wants James to add her son Lethu (not onscreen) as a beneficiary to his will so that he receives half of the inheritance if anything has to happen to James, despite the child already getting his biological father’s entire estate. “James feels that Imani is…

He feels that Zithulele has betrayed the family,” says Kay. LET’S FIGHT Despite his fury, Nkululeko is happy to see Shongololo and Maluju Oil reach a mutual agreement about the reserve.

M am Rebecca is a no-nonsense corrupt and greedy businesswoman who doesn’t take no for an answer, says seasoned actress Linda Sebezo. And she just happens to be Linda’s hottest new character in the steamy telenovela series The Black Door, which kickstarted e.tv’s night-time schedule overhaul in April this year. “The producers called me to come audition for Mam Rebecca and I was a little nervous after reading the script,” explains Linda. “I’ve played a lot of shady people in my career, but Mam Rebecca – or Rebs as she’s known – is by far the worst.” When she’s not running her high-class underground brothel The Black Door, Mam Rebecca is schmoozing, wining and dining the local business elite to win new tender contracts. “She’s greedy and she uses her…

She also fainted at her babyshower recently and acting on instinct, guest Alexa realised…
