It was 2019 when the talk show Café Hendriks and Genee completely flopped. The combination of Wilfred Genee and Hélène Hendriks does not appeal to the viewer at all and for a moment Talpa seems to be done with her…
Hélène Hendriks is currently by far Talpa’s biggest female star, even bigger than Linda de Mol. In addition to her successful talk show, the presenter is currently also being used as the new Wendy van Dijk. She talks about one show program after another and so far it seems to be quite popular with SBS 6 viewers.
Entertainment queen
And while Hélène was actually written off by Talpa after the Café Hendriks and Genee drama, Johan Derksen reveals at the talk show table Today Inside. “I like it for Hélène. She will be the big entertainment queen, right?”
He continues: “Not so long ago, when you did that talk show with her, which failed miserably, she was written off and she was still allowed to do something for the internet every now and then.”
‘She was written off’
Wilfred takes a nuanced look at this. “No, she also came over for the sport. We did the Champions League together alternately. She did half the matches and so on.”
Johan: “Yes, but from the sounds at Talpa you could hear that they had more or less written her off.”
Wilfred then agrees: “Yes, internally indeed at a certain point, but they have changed their minds.”
Comeback
Johan thinks it’s fantastic that it still worked out with Hélène. “She is making a great comeback and now everyone is jealous of her. You rightly said: she is the girl next door, she jumps off the screen and everyone is a little in love with her.”
Bar guest Chris Woerts: “She really is a nice woman.”
Johan jokes: “I live in a world of hope because she has a much older boyfriend.”
Wilfred: “You are even older, so that will be difficult.”
Johan: “Is that possible, older than Frans?”
Pitfall
Table guest Job Knoester believes that Hélène should choose a specialization. “Her strength is also her pitfall, I think, because if you really do everything…”
Wilfred: “Then you have to be a bit careful, you mean.”
Job: “I would say so, because at some point people want something different every now and then.”
Johan concludes: “Yes, but she likes it, but she has now also shown with those singers that she has also mastered it. She has something… Every clothing she wears suits her and it says somebodyeh, if that camera is on her…”
