It was clear that Gracious had become a fan favourite, rivalling even Connie Ferguson's character Harriet.

Harriet better watch out! There's a new QUEEN. #TheQueenMzansi
Speaking about her debut, Rami said she was nervous to watch the show and was still trying to piece together all the on-screen drama.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE ahead of the show, Rami described her character as someone fans would love to hate.
"The followers will have a difficult time deciding whether to love or hate her. Everything she does is justified- well, according to her! I’m confused myself! As a hardcore fan I don’t know if I’ll love her or not. I personally distance myself from the character and will be tweeting commentary that is honest and fair as I watch with Twitter," she said.
Rami scooped a role on the Mzansi Magic telenovela after starting a social media campaign to join the show's cast.
