Originally from the Northern Cape, Block mentioned that she had previously been part of kykNet’s popular series Suidooster<\/i> and Generations: The Legacy<\/i> before taking on her role in Skeem Saam<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The show has stated on its X account<\/a> that Dr Blue was responsible for sending messages to Pretty.<\/p>\n

It was also disclosed on its X account<\/a> that Dr Blue faced difficulties during the marriage of Pretty and Lehasa.<\/p>\n
