From Enyonam living with a dishonest husband that is not even her official husband, to Akosua who is the breadwinner of her family with no kids after 10 years and the fun but jobless Kukua, here's a sneak peek of what to expect in the days of the lives of the ladies of To Have and To Hold.
This is a fresh and sexy drama series about the lives of three young female friends living in the city, as they deal with the pressures of juggling marriage, motherhood, relationships, and their careers. It follows the life of the ambitious Akosua, the ever optimistic Enyonam and the fun loving Kukua, as they deal with the challenges life throws at them; be it a skirt chasing boss, a dishonest husband or a promiscuous partner. To Have and To Hold touches on themes such as sisterhood, gender equality, and traditional marriage practices among others.
It is a Ghanaian adaptation of the Nigerian series - Unmarried, as it revolves around three different women who represent a diverse cross-section of life, from the low-cost, to the estates and to the high-end apartment lifestyle of the "super blessed". Let's meet them...
LYDIA FORSON as AKOSUA
AGE: 33 YEARS
OCCUPATION: MEDIA EXECUTIVE
Among the three ladies is Akosua, the only one working in a cooperate space. Married to Sam (KWEKU ELLIOT), Akosua is the bread winner of the home and in a 10 year marriage without children. Principled as she is, she never tolerates cheats and liars. To Have and To Hold captures her as a woman who easily rises up despite the several falls.
NAA ASHORKOR as ENYONAM
AGE: 33 YEARS
OCCUPATION: HOUSE WIFE
Enyonam is the second of three ladies and the only one with a family of two kids and a husband to whom she is not officially married. Enyonam got pregnant for Nii Tetteh (ADJETEY ANANG) at age 16. As determined as she is to make her family work, the (kinda) marital wheels face a deep storm when Nii loses his job and gives in to gambling and alcoholism.
ZYNNELL ZUH as KUKUA
AGE: 33 YEARS
OCCUPATION: JOBLESS FASHIONISTA
Kukua, the last of the three ladies, finds pleasure in her luxurious lifestyle which is not out of her pocket. Sexy and sassy as she is, Kukua lives off the married Asamoah (EKOW BANKSONS) and looses her foothold when Asamoah sidelines her for a fresh and much younger blood. She's left to fight to maintain her luxurious lifestyle or take on life on her own terms.
