Life goes on for the ‘family’ makers. They’ve tweaked the opening credits and so they’ve already given away a little of what viewers can expect in the near future. The deceased Peter and Mary Rose disappeared from the picture and gave way to two new faces of the year. Of course, this choice can only mean that the share of these two in the chain will become more important. In the new year, Matthias (Peter Polkin) gets another companion by his side, because there is no longer Peter, his business partner at the Copro brewery, but his mistress: Vanessa. Thus, the character of Karen Damen becomes a guard. Louise (Charlotte Siben) is the other character who first appears in the opening images. The blonde can be seen alongside Raven (Aaron Plummert). This means that this relationship will not only last, but also gain significance.
