Seasoned actress and choreographer Lorcia Cooper is set to make a return to Scandal! after she left the soapie a couple of years ago.
The soapie said it is going to revive a storyline involving Dintle (Mapaseka Nyokong) and a child she had years ago.
"All the Scandal! legacy fans will remember Lorcia Cooper, who played Erin on the show so many years ago. In the story, Dintle decided that it was best to let go of her newborn child due to her financial situation at the time. Erin and Tino decided to adopt the child and treat her as their own – on the understanding that Dintle would not interfere in the process at all, even in the future," read the statement.
At the time Cooper opened up to TV Plus magazine about her reason for leaving.
"It's very simple," she said.
"When it's time, it's time. I've been in soapies for so long. I've been on Scandal! for four years and before that I was on Backstage. So I just felt that it was time for something new."
She said she would always be open to the prospect of returning to the Scandal! set, but only on a temporary basis.
Cooper told TshisaLIVE she left TV screens for a while because she felt like she was being typecast and needed to reposition herself.
