Meet Alex, the guy you'd never want to bring home to meet your family. From the moment this smooth operator graced us with his presence at Doris' mother's burial, we knew he was trouble with a capital 'T.' You know someone's up to no good when they start asking about signed documents at a funeral. Like, seriously, dude? Can't you see people are mourning? But, hey, Alex has got a one-track mind, and it's all about the moolah.
The kidnap drama
Alex did try to patch things up by apologizing, but let's be real, we weren't really buying it. Just as we're starting to think he might have a shred of decency, he goes ahead and lands himself in a heap of trouble. Boom! Abduction alert! Yep, our dear Alex gets abducted by some sketchy characters out to collect their dues. We were genuinely worried for a minute, but hold your horses, there's more to this tale! Turns out, he owes them big time, and they're not taking 'no' for an answer.
Alex's smooth-talking getaway plan
It gets juicier! Our man Alex is quite the negotiator, spinning tales to save his skin. He's all like, 'Hey, kidnappers, I can get you the cash!' Guess who's going to be his piggy bank? Poor Doris! That's right, he's counting on her to bail him out of this mess. Dude, that's low, even for you! We're starting to wonder if this guy has any redeeming qualities.

The love circus
There's more! Turns out, Mr. Shifty has a whole other love affair going on behind Doris' back. While he's whispering sweet nothings and talking about a joint bank account with her, he's also juggling another lady on the side. Can you say 'fraud' loud enough?
We've seen enough to know that Alex is the king of deception, but part of us can't help but wonder what other schemes he's got up his sleeve. Will his house of cards eventually crumble, or will he keep spinning his web of lies? Tune in to Ripples (The New Generation) every Wednesday on DStv Africa Magic Showcase Ch. 151 to witness the drama unfold.
