It was the ultimate TV hit of the time. The “Two Strangers” and the role of Marina Kountouratou really marked her life and career Evelinas Papoulias.
She herself spoke about that period and about all the difficulties she faced on the show “Better Late» by Athenaidas Nega.

“It was not a pleasant period for me. We were very innocent then, everything that was written had a weight, it was forced. So when you live a quiet life and are not exposed, neither success, nor attack, nor love is easy for you. It was very big for me” revealed Evelina Papoulia and continued:

“I went through many stages. I was treated as Marina Kountouratou by everyone, from the public to the journalists. If I was serious or said I didn’t want to do another interview, they said I had “shopped” it. If I had “shopped” her, I would have had a great time. At that time I was trying to be as Evelina as possible and it was difficult.

My role was combined with Eleni Menegaki, but I did not imitate her. I’m not good at mimics, I prefer to borrow things and build a role. There has been no conversation with her, nor did I feel bad when I met her, because I knew it was not the case. I think he was happy about it then, because he also had very good relations with Alexandros (s.s. Rigas). There was no chance of misunderstanding”
