Helena Reichenbach — the mother who has never taken any interest in Isabell''s (Ania Niedieck) life, and who does not even know that her grandchild is a girl — arrives in Essen with a hard-nosed demand: she wants Isabell''s shares in the Steinkamp Centre, because they were paid for out of the life insurance of her late husband, of which she is the beneficiary. And since Helena gets nowhere with her daughter, she tries her luck with the latter''s husband and ladies'' man Richard Steinkamp (Silvan-Pierre Leirich), deploying every charm she has to offer as a successful businesswoman.
Claudia Neidig has until now been best known as the unhappy wife Claudia Falkenberg from "Unter uns". But weakness was yesterday; today is all about strength. After all, Claudia has moved on in real life too: she successfully runs an agency for actors. And of course she still steps in front of the camera herself for powerful roles — such as Helena Reichenbach.
Will Helena become the new boss at Steinkamp Sport, Tanz und Wellness? We''ll find out from 5 March 2014 on "Alles was zählt". Photo: RTL / Willi Weber
