More drama in Isono as Ayo returns with a bang

Fast rising actress, Chioma Umeala will on Tuesday, November 30, make a comeback to BET daily drama Isono cast, in her role as Ayo, Pastor Abiola and Titi’s headstrong daughter.

Playing the role, Umeala embodies the grace and grit of a determined young woman who has been dealt many wrong hands, but fights to rise above unfair circumstances.

As a rebel who constantly challenges her parents, especially when it comes to her father’s reliance on faith to heal all ills, Ayo is romantically involved with Gabriel Ndlovu and fans should expect to see a lot on this relationship as she rejoins the show.

Speaking about her role, Umeala said, “I am excited for the opportunity to get back into this role again. Ayo’s character is one I connect with deeply and mirrors my personal journey in many ways.

“Like me, Ayo is a strong-willed woman who always stands up for what she believes is right, even if it means creating tension. I am glad that through this character, I get to inspire many young black women and artistes like me to rise above life’s challenges, focus on their craft and go for their dreams wholeheartedly.”

Commenting on the development, Senior Vice President and GM ViacomCBS Networks Africa, Monde Twala said, “Chioma brought a burst of energy and colour to Isono’s drama during her debut.

“We are over the moon on her return to screen, and can’t wait to see the magic she will create with her fellow uber-talented Isono cast members. African culture is so rich and diverse, and Nigeria certainly lives up to this. Chioma’s brilliance in this role elevates black girl magic.”

Twala viewers should expect to see the palpable tension between Ayo (Chioma) and Gabriel as they reunite after a long time apart. “Lies, deceit and a baby seem to be the major factors in their relationship and a dear friend feels left out.
The drama is on full blast as the vivacious Ayo comes back to this tumultuous scene.
