A well-known soap opera revives a major character, even though the actor has been deceased for almost two decades.

In 2006, the beloved actress Christiane Maybach sadly passed away. She was most well-known for her role as Margot Weigel on the popular German soap opera, Unter uns. Margot was the owner of Schillerallee 10 and had a tumultuous love life during her 11-year run on the show. Her character met an unexpected end during a trip to Australia in 2005. The news of Christiane's death deeply saddened fans, and a special episode was dedicated to her memory.

Now, as Unter uns approaches its 30th anniversary, the show has decided to bring back Margot for a special episode. Despite the character and actress being gone for 18 years, Margot will make a comeback next week. In a dream sequence, she appears to her great-granddaughter, Cecilia Weigel, and gives her a task to follow in her footsteps. Although Cecilia is initially skeptical, she eventually decides to accept Margot's challenge, leading her to uncover a long-kept secret that could change the Weigel family's history.

To bring Margot back to life, the show has teamed up with AI voice company Respeecher. The company has revived Margot's voice and created an AI version of her using ethical standards. In the episode, actress Angela H. Fischer will portray Margot, with AI technology used to make her look like Christiane. This innovative approach has excited fans, and many have already joined the conversation on Metro's WhatsApp Soaps community, eager to hear the latest gossip and spoilers from their favorite shows.

Carina Koller, who plays Cecilia Weigel, shared a behind-the-scenes clip explaining the process of bringing Margot back. She expressed her admiration for Christiane, who she never had the chance to meet, but heard was a brilliant and eccentric person, just like her character. She believes that by using AI to bring Margot back, the actress's legacy will be kept alive, and she would have enjoyed the idea. "She's sitting up there and enjoying herself," Carina added with a smile.

The return of Margot Weigel has created a buzz among fans, and they can't wait to see her reunion with the Weigel family on screen. It's a fitting tribute to the late Christiane Maybach, and a testament to the show's enduring popularity after 30 years.
