With a career spanning across reality TV shows, Deéserée Nick, the self-proclaimed "Queen of the Jungle," has gained a reputation for her sharp wit in shows like "Promis unter Palmen" and "Promi Big Brother." Now, she's venturing into the fictional Bavarian village of Lansing, appearing in six episodes of the beloved BR series "Dahoam is Dahoam" (Mondays to Thursdays, 7:30 PM). As a retired couples therapist, Dr. Barbara Hulsmann, she checks in on her on-screen daughter Vera (Sybille Waury, 55) and keeps tabs on comic relief, Gregor (Holger Matthias Wilhelm, 48).
In a recent interview with spot on news, Nick couldn't help but gush about her guest role: "What tickles me most is being dropped into this family-friendly format set in a rural community." This role has long been on her bucket list, and she's hopeful it won't be her last stint in Lansing.
You've made a name for yourself in reality TV. What was it like working on "Dahoam is Dahoam"?
Deéserée Nick: It was a pure treat. And it goes to show that if you want something bad enough for 30 years, it might just happen – you just gotta keep trying. They could've cast me 30 years ago. I think it's brilliant that the production finally came up with this – almost long-overdue – idea. I'm thrilled that as Deéserée Nick, I've landed in this family-friendly format in a countryside setting. It's unconventional, daring, and obviously exciting.
So, are you more of an out-of-place figure in "Dahoam is Dahoam"?
Nick: Exactly that! A visitor from another world joining the party. If they had written me as a brash Berliner, that would have been the easy route taken. Instead, I'm portraying an academic from Hannover who's a couples therapist, making me an oddity in this series. I'm practically an alien from a different planet. The role is perfectly penned, and my co-stars all agreed they couldn't imagine anyone else playing this part.
Which Lansing residents could benefit from a therapy session with you?
Nick: My on-screen daughter Vera and her potential suitor, Gregor. That's the main storyline. Every mother wants to know who her daughter is marrying. Vera's not exactly a spring chicken anymore, and I'd love to be a granny. So, I'm scrutinizing the social dynamics. After all, my daughter's an academic, and her future partner runs a village inn. Those worlds deserve to collide, and it makes for the perfect blend of comedy and drama.
Did you find a personal connection to psychology in your research for this role?
Nick: I studied psychology as part of my theology degree. The great thing about psychology is its jargon. My character, Dr. Barbara Hulsmann, analyzes her daughter's relationship with Gregor and employs various technical terms. So, I speak entirely differently from my scene partners. It's a challenge to deliver it smoothly and flawlessly.
Your role is only guest-starring in this series. Do you see a future return to Lansing?
Nick: I'd be flattered, but that's not my call. With this role, it's certainly possible. A mother-in-law with a little interference can be a beneficial addition, even after her daughter gets hitched. But first, I'm eager to see how the audience reacts to my character.
Could you imagine a more significant, recurring role in "Dahoam is Dahoam"?
Nick: Absolutely, that would be fantastic. However, I'm not jumping the gun yet because I'm dying to see how the audience perceives my character first. After all, people remember me from various reality TV gigs, like the jungle camp, "Promi Big Brother," and "Promis unter Palmen." Now, I've returned in a completely different role, and I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity.
You've been traveling between locations for theater performances and this series. How do you feel about all these location changes?
Nick: I've been in Hamburg for three months now. Before that, I spent nearly half a year in Munich at the theater. As a freelance artist, you're always gallivanting around. I've worked all over Germany and toured extensively throughout my career.
In her impressive career spanning across reality TV and theater, Deéserée Nick views her stint in the lifestyle genre as a pure treat. Despite being an alien in the home-and-garden setting of "Dahoam is Dahoam," she finds it unconventional, daring, and exciting. As her character Dr. Barbara Hulsmann, she delves into the entertainment world with a blend of comedy and drama, hoping to help her on-screen daughter Vera and Gregor in their relationship. The role has given Nick the chance to utilize her psychology background, providing a unique and challenging experience for her. With her character only guest-starring at the moment, she dreams of a more significant role in the future, proving that her versatility reaches beyond movies-and-tv to even the most family-friendly formats.
