TV That Lowieke Bomans, the role of Mathias Vergels (27), good in the market is with the fans, not a surprise. But that also madame Marianne, and the haughty bitch, there’s a way, performs well in the poll Online at HOME, but a surprise. “I know it’s not,” says actress Leah Thys.
a Daily look around 1.2 million Flemish people (live and delayed on the day itself) to ‘Home’, and also on social media, the ins and outs of the soap followed. So has HOME Online, a fan page full of soapweetjes, on Facebook more than 20,000 members. Each year, the fanforum also a poll for the favorite actor and actress to choose. This years Mathias Vergels the marked for Raf Jansen (Dieter) and Pol Goossen (Frank). When the women went to Leah Thys with the first walk, just in front of Ann Pira (Nancy) and Moora Vander Veken (Olivia).
“Whether you’re on the first or third place finish, the result of such poll will remain a real plus for any actor,” says “Home” -producer, Hans Roggen. “At HOME, Online seems to be mainly youthful fans, who identify with younger characters. But Leah Thys speaks as madame Marianne clearly to all generations. We notice that, also on her Instagram page @teammarianne, which is very popular.”
being Old is not that bad
In december ended Leah Thys, who recently also as a member of the jury was to be seen in ‘Dancing With The Stars’, also very high on the Story Awards. Nevertheless, she is surprised by the outcome of the poll. “And no small bit. I’m especially surprised because I have that whole online story not on the foot follow. I don’t even know what all is posted. The results I find punishment. And a great honor. I am the oldest of the lot, but apparently is old, but are still not all that bad. (laughs)”
“Perhaps the youth is attracted to the spontaneous nature of my character. Marianne is not a typical granny, and looks also not as an old woman. It is, however, a dear, great grandmother who, despite her age, but yet feisty and sometimes even naughty. Also with my own grandchildren, I am so. We have a click.” And that click turns out to be mutual, also with the fans. “I read some time ago somewhere:” I would also make a grandmother want to be like Marianne.’ I thought that was such a wonderful compliment,” says Leah.
The past few years have seen Leah Thys, of course, also a small metamorphosis in the ‘at Home’. “My character will be her stroke, although never forget, but in the past behaved Marianne do something more often if a hard aunt. Even if sometimes a bitch,” admits Leah. “Viewers loved when of her because she could gloat to her strokes. “What will she stick out?’ Today looks much better and milder. After her adventures with William, she became even seriously on the dool. She is lonely and lost recently her granddaughter Cassie. A lot of sorrow that she alone had to handle.”

Also that the misery of Marianne can its popularity, explain. “Viewers now live happy. They continue to embrace, charms me and makes me genuinely happy. It is a pat on the back to keep going. All I have in the “Home” -viewers warn: Marianne, you never know, or her softness long will it take.”
