Tähkänen says that he will still do teaching work before the birth of his child, but soon he is going to stay at home with the future little one.
Fans of the series are worried about the future of the popular character, and Tähkänen writes about it in his publication.
– And there have already been a lot of inquiries about Elina’s continuation, and I can’t say anything about that yet. Time will tell what jobs await me next.
