Vincent, who played the character Max in the series, passed away on January 19, 2024, following a battle with brain tumor.

Beyond his role on-screen, Vincent was also a dedicated school administrator and a passionate actor, leaving behind a legacy cherished by many.

To honor his memory and commemorate his contributions to the entertainment industry, members of the “Things We Do For Love” cast gathered at a local eatery to reminisce and share fond memories of their beloved colleague.

Among those present were Adjetey Anang, who portrayed the character Pusher, and Jackie Appiah, known for her role as Enyonam.

Majid Michel, who played Shaker, and Zimran Clottey, who portrayed Aluta, also joined the gathering to pay their respects.

The reunion brought together a host of other familiar faces from the series, including Sena Tsikata as Marcia, Nana Acquah as Papa, Selassie Tetteh as Lorenzo, and Yellow Cee as Uncle Victor. Kofi Nsiah, who played High Priest, as well as Killer and Aluta, were also in attendance, along with many others from the ensemble cast.

As they reminisced about their time working alongside Vincent, the cast members shared memories reflecting the impact he had both on-screen and off.

Despite the somber occasion, the gathering served as a touching tribute to a talented actor and cherished friend, highlighting the enduring bond shared by the cast of “Things We Do For Love.”

The thespians, who gained recognition from the movie which had fans glued to their TV sets in the early 2000s, were looking ravishing as they struck a pose.

It is believed they gathered on a set of a yet-to-be-premiered movie they are working on.

Enyonam was the only female present among five males; Aluta, Pusher, Akilla, Papa, and Shaker the Virgin Breaker.

The characters were played by Jackie Appiah, Zimran Clottey, Adjetey Anang, Abeiku Nana Acquah and Majid Michel

The photo has given fans nostalgia of the times when movie content was quality and educative, rather than being filled with comedy and sattire.

They applauded the casts for maintaining their relevance in the movie industry.

The solemn ceremony took place on Thursday, January 27, 2022, at the Lashibi Funeral Home.

“She fought it as she’d never fought anything before. She was brave till she took her last breath,” the family disclosed in a tribute in her honour on a website, marleenhutchful. life created to celebrate to share fond memories.

The family in the tribute also expressed appreciation to all health workers who took care of her during the battle.

“We would like to thank all the doctors that took such expert and careful care of Marleen. We will forever be grateful for the days you gave us with her,” it acknowledged.

The actress passed away on January 11, 2022, aged 35.

However, the news became public knowledge after her co-actor, Adjetey Anang took to his Instagram page on Friday, January 21, 2022 to share it.

“In the year 2000, u joined the #thingswedoforlove family, u brought with u such youthful exuberance, making your character as “Lois” a memorable one.”

He made this announcement with excerpts of Marlene’s scenes from Things We Do For Love.

A clearly emotional Adjetey Anang eulogised his friend.

“We thank God for your life and example, growing into a young lady with a passion to live for Christ.”

He, however, fell short of mentioning the cause of death in the post.

The actor further expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased.

According to Ivan Quashigah, the series was a funded project that was part of a reproductive health campaign supported by USAID, Johns Hopkins University Centre for Communications and Ghana Social Marketing Foundation.

Speaking on Showbiz A-Z on Saturday, he said, “when the campaign or the project ends normally there is no money to continue. That is the reason why it ended. When the funding ends, that is the end of it.”

He told the host of the show, George Quaye, that he was surprised corporate bodies could not pick up “such a good project” to keep it running.

Mr Quashigah said that making a film is not only about wanting to put up a show but also one has to consider the investment and the money it entails.

He stated that because there are no measures in place for filmmakers to make returns on their films, it is tough to secure funding for a production.

“So if we are able to solve that problem where investors can tell that, ‘I invested this much into a production and I am guaranteed this much and some more’, even banks will be begging to fund productions. I believe that if we solve the problem of distribution return on investment, everybody will be rushing after us,” he said.

He urged producers to invest in creating a digital space to distribute their films, adding that technology can help the industry resolve some monetary issues, especially ones to do with distribution.

“Not everybody can go to the Silverbird Cinema to watch the films put out there. Even if you get many people in there, it won’t give you the investment you have put out there but you can get people to watch your films simultaneously across the world [on a digital space],” he added.
