A reunion that brought back memories
OJ revealed that Miss Morgan had visited him, prompting interest among fans who remember their different roles on Tahidi High.
Waruinge played Miss Morgan, the strict deputy principal whose character was regularly at odds with students and staff at the fictional school. OJ, meanwhile, was known for his mischievous student character.
Their reunion has since revived memories of the show and its colourful cast.
“Miss Morgan had visited me,” OJ said while sharing the reunion with his followers.
Tahidi High became a major part of Kenyan television culture after its debut on Citizen TV in 2006. The programme followed the lives of students, teachers and other workers at a fictional secondary school, mixing comedy with everyday school experiences.
Life after Tahidi High
The actors have taken different paths since their days on the programme.
Waruinge left Tahidi High after about seven years. She later explained that she wanted a change after receiving an opportunity to work on the M-Net production Jane and Abel.
She has remained active in the creative sector and has worked in production and business development at Nairobi Performing Arts Studio. She has also taken part in theatre productions, including a 2022 staging of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o's I Will Marry When I Want. (Pulse Kenya)
OJ has also remained connected to entertainment. His post-Tahidi High work has included film-making, content creation and other activities within Kenya's creative industry.
Fans get a nostalgic moment
The latest meeting does not signal a return of Tahidi High, but it has offered fans a rare opportunity to see two former cast members together again.
For viewers who followed the show during its run, the simple hangout carries a familiar feeling. OJ and Miss Morgan represented two contrasting sides of the show's school environment, making their latest interaction a reminder of the characters that once dominated Kenyan television.
The reunion also comes years after former Tahidi High cast members had previously discussed the possibility of coming together again.
