This will see the return of many of the original cast members from the first season, and the departure of many newcomers, except for favourite Nadia, who is somehow being written into the flashback storylines. Antigoni, will not be returning, the writers thought it was time to give her character a rest, however she is expected to guest star at some point. The final five episodes of the series were the highest rating episodes of the series in its history, with over 4,250,000 watching, on average, in Greece.
