Speaking to TshisaLIVE in September, Lorcia said that she took on the role of Tyson after a three-year acting hiatus because she wanted to show her acting abilities in a different role to those fans may have expected from her. She had previously played the role of Charmaine Jacobs on e.tv series Backstage.
