Annechien Steenhuizen may never return as a presenter of the Achtuurjournaal. “In any case, they don’t want to say if they are coming back and I really find that remarkable.”
As a presenter of the Achtuurjournaal, 47-year-old Annechien Steenhuizen was a familiar face in the Dutch living rooms for years, but she suddenly disappeared. Six months ago she disappeared silently from the picture to never return, and there is no one who knows what exactly is going on with her.
Incredibly long
Mediaciticus Victor Vlam has made inquiries, but did not get much further with it. “Annechien Steenhuizen is of course absent for six months at the Achtuurjournaal and that is really incredibly long. This week I asked the NOS if there is an update to give: when will she return and what exactly is going on? ”
He continues in the podcast The Communicado’s: “Well, they are very clear about that. They don’t want to say anything about that. It is a family issue, it is private, so we don’t get any further information, so when she comes back we don’t know and also not what’s going on. “
‘Very understandable’
Communication expert Lars Duursma finds that acceptable. “That can be very understandable, isn’t it? There are just things that you think: I would rather keep them private, so we don’t have to know about that anymore, but you were curious about it: is it a view that she is coming back? ”
Victor: “Yes, because the AD wrote an article about the absence of Annechien in November and what they wrote specifically in it – that was one of the first sentences of the article – is:” Whether and when Annechien Steenhuizen resumes its work, the broadcaster cannot say. ” I thought that was remarkable, so I asked that too. “
Ever back?
Annechien may never return to TV. “I asked: is it not certain that she will return? That would be quite remarkable. They don’t want to answer that. In any case, they do not want to say that they are coming back and I really find that remarkable. ”
It seems that she really is not doing well. “There are many reasons why it is private and I certainly do not want to root in that, because that is something that certainly does not make her better, so what is going on, I don’t know, but by now you start to get a very clear picture that what is there is in any case very serious.”
Very serious
It is probably the health situation of Annechien or one of her loved ones. “It is a very long period of absence and the fact that they cannot say that it is certain that she will return is also something that is not very nice to hear.”
“I think in such a situation you can only say that you want someone strength.”
