"Isidingo has always been a production that I have wanted to be a part of since I was a kid. Working on this production has been a dream come true for me. Being on Isidingo has been nothing short of an absolute pleasure and has been a walk in the park. It runs like a well-oiled machine and an actress’ dream to work on. It has been an absolute pleasure being a part of the cast and I will forever cherish my time on the show. I will miss everyone that I have worked with and will miss being on set’’ expressed Jo-Anne.
