When the family first moved to Africa Rosie was not close to Sarah at all however this changes soon after they settle in. In the latest (seventh) series she has returned to help around Leopard's Den after Caroline rang her about the family's problems and loosing Leopard's Den to Mr. After working alongside her father in her adolescence, Rosie is following in Danny's footsteps, currently training as a vet in Cape Town. She arrived at Leopard's Den as a disgruntled teenager, but quickly fell in love with Africa and became a competent ranger at Leopard's Den and Mara. This series-which has several more seasons to follow-skillfully balances adventure and domestic drama and grows more engaging with each episode.Rosie Gifthold (neƩ Trevanion) is the daughter of Danny Trevanion and the wife of Max Gifthold. The cast is charming, particularly Luke Ward-Wilkinson as the sensitive son Evan (Lucy-Jo Hudson, as teenaged Rosie, is a bit irritating at first, but gradually redeems herself). But watching the Trevanion family bond to each other and to the glories of Africa is warm and satisfying. Wild at Heart works because it isn't The Brady Bunch-the fractures left by divorce and grief aren't glossed over, and the genuine threats of their new life (from wild beasts, disease, and competition from a rival commercial game preserve) loom on all sides. They form a partnership with a crusty old Afrikaaner and struggle to turn their small preserve into a thriving destination for tourists and animals in need. But once they arrive at a run-down yet intriguing game preserve, Danny's wife Sarah (Amanda Holden) sees how life on the savannah might unite their stitched-together family (Evan and Olivia, her young son and daughter from a previous marriage, and Rosie, his teenage daughter who still mourns losing her mother to cancer). The first episode wastes very little time taking British veterinarian Danny Trevanion (Stephen Tompkinson, Ballykissangel) and his family down to South Africa to return a rescued monkey into the wild. The beauty of the African landscape-and the magnificent animals that live there-forms a stellar setting for the warm but realistic family dynamics of the BBC series Wild at Heart.
