Actress Maria Wedig to Return to 'Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten' After Parental Leave
German actress Maria Wedig will return to the RTL soap opera "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten" (GZSZ) in September. Wedig has been on a year-long hiatus from the series following the birth of her second child.
Actress Maria Wedig is set to make a comeback to the popular German television series "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten" (GZSZ). Wedig, known for her role as Nina Klee, will return to filming in September after an approximate one-year absence. The break was due to the actress welcoming a new addition to her family last year.
Wedig shared in interviews that she is currently enjoying a family vacation before returning to her professional duties. She is mother to a teenage daughter and a son who is now one year old. The actress described the past year as filled with wonderful moments, chaos, and significant happiness. The family's travels during their time off have included destinations from the Baltic coast to Italy, with potential stops in Tegernsee.
Regarding the challenges of balancing the needs of children of different ages, Wedig acknowledges it is demanding. She told RTL that the children's interests and requirements vary significantly due to their age, sometimes leaving her feeling "torn" between them. Despite the demands of caring for her infant son, she strives to be present for her older daughter as well.
Maria Wedig stated that during her time away, she missed the entire GZSZ production team, including fellow actors and makeup artists. She humorously noted that her under-eye circles have likely deepened, suggesting makeup artists may need to extend her preparation time upon her return. Wedig does not yet know the specific plot developments for her character but is anticipating receiving the new scripts this fall.
