The 16 Generations stars who were fired after going on strike have agreed to go back to work following negotiations facilitated by the SABC's chief operating officer, Hlaudi Motsoeneng.
Not all their demands have been met, but they will be getting more money, annual increases and longer-term contracts.
They have also sent a lawyer's letter to Mfundi Vundla's MMSV Productions saying they were willing to return to work.
But whether Vundla will take them back remains a mystery.
A highly placed source at Generations told City Press on Friday that the actors had "thrown in the towel" and agreed to return "unconditionally".
Executive producer Vundla, speaking from Paris where he was on holiday last week, was not willing to comment on the letter. All he would say was: "The situation is very fluid right now."
But he did confirm that by the end of this month, Generations would have run out of episodes to broadcast.
Vundla also confirmed that the show's writers and creative brains were scheduled to hold a lekgotla to determine the fate of the characters and to plot new episodes.
The brainstorm was to have seen the creation of "a new Generations", said another well-placed source on the production team who did not want to be named.
It is not clear if the show will be replotted or if Vundla will accept the actors' return and continue with their story lines. He flew into Joburg from his holiday on Saturday.
