Alexandra Palaiologou discusses past snobbery in Greek TV soap “Lampsi”

Alexandra Palaiologou Lampsi snobbery Greek television theatre discrimination

Actress Alexandra Palaiologou appeared as a guest on the ERTnews programme “Ένας και ένας” on a Friday evening. She reflected on her time starring in the long‑running Greek daily series “Lampsi”, created by writer‑producer Nikos Foskolos.

Palaiologou said the show was surrounded by extensive “retsinia” (blackmail/extortion) and that, as a newcomer, she was treated as a pariah and faced strong snobbery from the theatre community, which even caused her to lose jobs. She noted that established actors did not experience the same pressure. After leaving “Lampsi” she joined the series “Δύο ξένους” and moved into comedy. She added that today such snobbery no longer exists and that actors now commonly work in both theatre and television.
