Matouš and Žofka: A New Rival Enters the Game

Ulice Viewers Overwhelmingly Back Žofka in Nova Preference Survey

Television network Nova opened online voting on a Friday to determine which of the two friends holds a closer connection to Matouš. The final tally, released Tuesday, showed a decisive margin. Žofka, portrayed by Kateřina Ujfaluši, secured almost 1,500 total selections from the audience. In contrast, Adéla, played by Karolína Synková, finished with a mere 50 votes, according to Nova’s published figures.

This massive gap in the poll exists despite Žofka not yet displaying any blatant romantic interest in the medical professional. Nova notes that viewers still picked up on clear chemistry passing between the two characters on screen.

Character Backgrounds and the Onset of the Storyline

Matouš Havelka, brought to life by Radúz Mácha, joined the cast as part of the 22nd season. The character works as an ENT physician at the age of 35. The narrative plotline kicked off when both young women sustained bicycle injuries and sought treatment at Coolna, where the doctor attended to them, according to Nova.

Since that initial meeting, Adéla approaches every situation head-on, whereas Žofka prefers to keep her distance. Both eventually visited the doctor’s ear, nose, and throat clinic under different pretenses: Žofka arrived to return forgotten eyeglasses, while Adéla visited on the pretext of experiencing a ringing sensation in her ears, as detailed by Nova.

Complications Arise as Denis Enters the Love Triangle

Soap opera storylines rarely proceed without sudden twists. Nova published a separate interview with actor Radúz Mácha under a headline suggesting that a third individual, Denis, remains active within the unfolding love triangle. The exact nature of the role Denis will ultimately play has not yet been fully disclosed by production sources.

Denis Kroupa, played by Libor Matouš, has appeared on Ulice since 2020 and shares a school history with Matouš. During an episode late in August, Denis confided in his acquaintance that he currently cohabitates with two partners, Kristýna and Daniela, who both know about the arrangement. Denis was also the first person to point out that Žofka had caught the doctor’s eye, teasing him with the comment, “She is so curious about an old uncle like that,” according to show scripts.

During that same late-August episode, Matouš shared that he ended a decade-long partnership because his ex-partner wanted to start a family, a path he did not wish to pursue.

Upcoming Birthday Party Drama and Broken Hearts

Upcoming episodes promise immediate dramatic developments. Nova reports that Matouš’s upcoming birthday celebration will spiral in an unexpected direction, leading the physician to end up at Žofka’s home. Meanwhile, Adéla consumes too much burčák at the party and returns the following day to offer an apology.

While their initial interaction begins on pleasant terms, a sudden hurdle interrupts the meeting. Nova promoted the preview clip with a clear warning that Matouš will ultimately break the heart of one of the two young women.
