Katja Schuurman (49) returns to ‘Good Times, Bad Times’. After 25 years, she will once again play the role of her character Jessica Harmsen.
Katja first appeared in the popular soap in 1994. She played a guest role at the time, but because her character was so popular, she got a permanent role a few months later. In 1999, Katja said goodbye to Good Times, Bad Times and in the series she left for abroad on a motorbike with her great love Julian Verduyn (Cas Jansen).
Julian returned to Meerdijk in 2019. What we know in any case is that the love between him and Jessica has cooled. How things went with Jessica has always remained unknown to the viewers. That will undoubtedly change now.
What Jessica is doing in Meerdijk after all these years is unknown. But it is very likely that it has something to do with her ex Julian.
The makers of the program have been talking about a possible return of Katja for years. In GTST The Podcast head writer Susan Stam said in 2021 that every year there is a discussion about whether the character Jessica Harmsen should return to the Netherlands’ longest-running soap opera. Now it’s finally here.
