Ferri Somogyi plays the part of Rik in GTST, and has been voted 'Most Handsome Guy in the Netherlands' twice. Not only is he popular with the ladies, but he was also voted 'Hunk of the Year' by the readers of a gay magazine. Ferri has no problems with that. "I love being a celebrity. I have wanted this for a long time, and it doesn't matter to me if men or women find me attractive. It's a sign of appreciation." He looks forward to 1997 with anticipation. "My popularity is still rising. Next year I will have a bigger part. And a lot is about to be happening...."
