Divorce, power struggles, money and love: Camilla Läckberg’s life can seem as dramatic as the soap opera she just created.

She is now commenting on the breakup with her former best friend Christina Saliba.

– That’s how in all relationships you have different phases in life, he says in the autumn presentation of Viaplay, where the new soap opera “Lyckoviken” is presented.

– It’s hate, it’s love, it’s infidelity, it’s divorce, it’s money and it’s power struggles.

Camilla LäckbergThe 45-year-old describes his new television series “Lyckoviken” during the fall presentation of Viaplays and TV3. She is one of Sweden’s most successful authors who has now created a classic soap opera.

– I miss these old soaps. “Three Crowns,” “Different Worlds,” the Shipping Company, “” White Lies. “I think I looked at them all. Even Americans like” The Bold and the Beautiful, “Brooke’s team, of course.

You want to make an eternity soap

Fans of the soap opera that in Swedish also had the name “Glamor” recognize the eternal struggle between the characters Brooke and Taylor, who also divided the viewers of the series into two camps. For the sake of transparency, it may be mentioned that the undersigned was Team Taylor.

“Lyckoviken” opens in October and a total of two seasons, 16 episodes have been recorded. In the center is Disa Östrands and Martin Stenmarcks characters who return to the Lyckoviken residential area in the Hammarvik community after having invested for a few years in a career in the big city.

– Hopefully it’s a series that runs and runs and runs and never ends. We will follow Martin Stenmarck into retirement, is the idea, says Camilla Läckberg with a laugh.

The guru read my hand and laughed: “Your life is a soap opera”

She, who has a master’s degree in economics, debuted as a writer at age 29 in 2003 and has since published twelve best-selling detective stories and nearly as many children’s books on Super-Charlie. At the same time, her life has become something that could be compared to a classic soap opera in real life.

I broke up with the best friend

After divorcing her first husband, she married the first winner “Robinson” from Sweden. Martin Melin, a relationship that lasted five years. Since 2014, she is together with the 12-year-younger MMA fighter. Simon Sköld. She has competed in “Let’s dance”, participated in “Stars at the castle” and wrote the lyrics for Anna’s Book in the Melodifestivalen that was washed after it became known that the song, with a different text, had already competed in the Moldovan selection for Eurovision.

Together with his then public relations agent and his permanent horse partner Christina Saliba and the doctor Sara Löfgren He founded the Hedda Care care company, but it soon ended in a storm of criticism over the high prices of the care clinic. In April of this year, he unexpectedly broke up with Saliba. For 13 years they had worked together and appeared in countless mixed images, but suddenly Läckberg decided to turn to Christina Saliba’s main competitor, when he hired the public relations guru. Lili assefa as a new press contact and to market your new books.

We always have … We have a long history behind us, that’s why it’s always there

And just a few weeks later, Läckberg came into open conflict with his co-owners at Hedda Care, after the care company began selling corona tests to the public before they became available in the healthcare sector. Läckberg claimed that Saliba and Löfgren were against their will when Hedda Care started selling the tests. Saliba declined to comment on the conflict:

“Camilla is and has been one of my closest friends and I do not intend to enter into public conflict with her or participate in this reality media show that is currently underway. Plus, she’s an old client of mine. My secret is my credibility, “he later wrote in a text message to Aftonbladet.

Make a roll in the soap

Probably many people think of your life taken from a soap, what do you say about that?

– Yes, but then I have to find material to write about, so it’s just a matter of getting to know it, says Camilla Läckberg with a laugh after the autumn presentation of Viaplays and TV3.

– The funny thing is that I … some friends dragged me this spring to an Indian guru when we had a full day of girls. He was going to read on our hands and he looked at my palm and felt a bit in the lines and then he laughed and said, “Your life is a soap opera.” Maybe it’s a little … I don’t think he creates any intrigue. But I think I’m pretty good at living life to the fullest and that sometimes makes you make dramatic decisions.

Would you have chosen not to go into the Hedda Care business if you could have made that decision again?

– No, I am always completely behind all the business decisions I make. And also private. So it is the case that in all business relationships in all companies, things happen and what happens to me is that it becomes public. For most of the others, it won’t be public, so I don’t really see it that dramatically.

I’m definitely hungry for revenge

If this had been two years ago, Christina Saliba would have stood next to you now, but today she is not. Many people think about what happened there?

– It is also the media that creates a lot of drama. It is like this in all relationships that you have different phases in life. Again, this would mean that you have to spend on these processes.

They remain friends?

– We have always… We have a long history behind us, that’s why it’s always there. But now it was probably “Lyckoviken” that we were going to talk about here, I know you, what about your private life by the way what happens there?

The brand is fun, but still clear.

Well that’s pretty good, hahaha. But you, who have also been seen in so many ways, do you have a little dream of appearing in “Lyckoviken” in a small role?

– I’m already there. I take a little jump, a little Hitchcock with a little line. I wish I had visited more, but it was hard to stay away from the restrictions if you didn’t have to do it there, so it was only when I would do my little role that I came down.

He wants revenge on Mello

Is it a role that could come back as an unknown half sister in season four or something?

– Haha, we’ll see if I can process them to give me a little more space. Although I don’t think it’s that likely, because I’m not a great actor. And it’s a problem in these contexts, I’m just as good an actor as singing karaoke, so you get it.

I also have to ask about Melodifestivalen, what do you want to get a song again?

– I’m definitely hungry for revenge, but I really haven’t been able to put the energy there. The air came out of me a little, it had splashed me enormously. But I’m very hungry for revenge, so I’ll see if I roll up my sleeves and start sprinkling with contributions. I have some songs that come in every year, there are many songs that are sent many times, but I don’t sit down and hold my breath right away.
