Have you seen The Counsellor, a Showmax Original produced by March 31 Media?
The romantic movie released on the 9th of February 2024 features some very interesting characters brought to life by some of Nollywood’s brilliant acts.
Let’s dive in!
Meet Gbenro in #TheCounsellorShowmax
Fun-loving, kind of a mummy’s boy, overthinker.
He’s an accountant with a passion for art. Being raised by a single mom has taught him to be practical. While his logical views make him a great career man, they tend to make him a shitty lover as he approaches everything from the angle of practicality. Meeting Aisha exposes him to a whole new world of possibilities, and he begins to adjust his black and white views on what life and love should be like. But will Gbenro have the courage to follow his heart, for once…
The ever-dapper David Eyo is Gbenro.
From sweet and charming to intensely angry and outspoken, David delivered the range like the pro that he is.👌🏽👌🏽 But beyond his brilliant acting skills, ladies, get in here. Have you seen his charming smile? You need to watch #TheCounsellorShowmax for the full dose. You’re welcome!😘😘
Meet Aisha in #TheCounsellorShowmax.
Gorgeous. Exceptional Baker. Wears her heart on her sleeve.
She grew up surrounded by a lot of love. She tends to love recklessly and gets hurt as a result; however, she jumps right back in at the first sign of chemistry. Will her new found relationship stand, or will she be served premium breakfast?
The AMVCA awardwinning trailblazer Teniola Aladese embodied Aisha Danjuma so beautifully we felt her every emotion! Thank you so much, Teniola…for sharing the gift of your craft with us!!
Meet Dr Cynthia in #TheCounsellorShowmax.
Gentle but firm; soft spoken yet dogged.
Dr Cynthia Oladimeji is a marriage counsellor, unorthodox in her ways and with a deep passion to eradicate divorce from the world by stopping incompatible or ill-prepared people from getting married. But what really fuels her passion? Can science truly provide guidelines for matters of the heart such as love and marriage?
Watch the beautiful Eyiyemi Olivia Rogbinyin deliver on her role as Dr Cynthia; and for many reasons, we loved her in the role. She nicely embodied the mature psychologist in a convincing way in her titular character on The Counsellor.
Meet Andikan in #TheCounsellorShowmax.
A girl’s best friend, full of life and love, chief supporter.
Andikan believes in love and Cupid and magical encounters. When her best friend goes through painful heartbreaks, she is the one who provides the “ginger” to move on. She gives the best hugs and the heartiest giggles.
Every girl needs an Andikan.
And this character is heartwarmingly brought to life by the beautiful Uzoamaka Aniunoh Phenomenal actress, a solid professional, and have we mentioned beautiful…oh yes, she is! A natural hair sista!🥰
Meet Mrs Solanke in #TheCounsellorShowmax
Sweet Mother. Skeptical Mother-in-Law.
How can a sweet mother who loves her son so dearly be so fiercely against him when he finds love? But there is a condition. Will her son meet this? What does she really have against love? Or is it against his fiancée? What is the backstory?
The beautiful MoyinOluwa Olutayo is Mrs Solanke and she was incredibly stellar in her delivery and gave us the typical African mother vibes.
