Has the movie scene in Ghana slowed down or am I the only person seeing it this way?�, so asks bubbly actress, Beverly Afaglo who has returned to acting after a two-year break to have a baby. The Single Six star has been comparing the current movie scene to that of three years ago and has come to the conclusion that there has been a slump. �Since I came back, only a few good scripts have come my way and if the situation continues, I may find myself becoming a full-time housewife�, she told Graphic Showbiz in jest last Tuesday. �Since I got back to acting last year, I have only featured in Leila Djansi�s Northern Affair, Abdul Sallam�s Cheaters and Shirley Frimpong Manso�s TV series, Tenants�, she said. She admitted ,however, that she had received some scripts but had found them to be of poor standard. �I have had to be selective because I don�t want to be part of any poor production that is not likely to push me up in my career. As for that, I will gladly settle for my housewife job position,� she said teasingly. When asked if becoming a mother could be a factor in not securing more roles, the mother of one remarked, �My child has never been an impediment to me at all. Yes, I am a mother and a wife now so probably, the producers may consider the kind of roles I will play. Besides, there have also been new faces so they have a variety of choices to make�. The award winning actress who is noted for her role in the television series, I�m About To Wed said that she might return to her �old love� of TV presentation since the acting business is slow. �I have already produced a magazine programme which will start airing soon. That is to tell you that I am not just a proud housewife taking care of the home, I am also nurturing great business ideas.� Two years of marriage to Praye Honeho, a member of the Praye group, Beverly said had taught her more about the virtues of tolerance and patience. �Each passing day, I learn new things in marriage and I can feel that I have matured over the years even though I still feel like a girlfriend because my husband and I still do those lovely little things that fired our relationship during courtship. We are still learning something new everyday�, she said.
