Yvonne takes over from Jackie Appiah

Hot Actress Yvonne Nelson, according to information available to News-One, is one of the lead female characters in the sequel of the movie,’ Cheaters’.

Yvonne was contracted to play the lead role after archrival Jackie Appiah, who played the female major character in the first and second episodes of the movie, was kicked out of the cast.

‘Cheaters,’ is a romantic comedy which has been segmented into episodes.

Director Frank Rajah calls each episode, a book.

Book 1 & 2 had Jackie Appiah and Adjetey Anang starring as the lead characters.

However Frank has wrapped the shoot for Books 3 & 4 of the movie with an entirely new cast including Yvonne Nelson, Eddie Watson and wife Naomi Watson, Kweku Elliot and Zynnell Lydia Zuh among others.

Sources said the development was generating some controversy in the ‘Characters’ camp as Frank Rajah is under pressure to satisfy the casts on the divide.

He told an Accra based radio station over the weekend that he took Jackie Appiah off the role because she was away in Brazil and he couldn’t wait for her to comeback.

Besides, he said, the episode he shot had an entirely different story from the previous one, hence the decision to kick Jackie and others out.
