We’ve seen him portray characters like pensioner Claës Geijer-Cerderflycht, Värnamo resident, and Mello enthusiast Susanne Svensson, as well as songwriter Niklas Holm. But Hampus Nessvold’s most beloved character, “Terese i kassan,” has yet to make an appearance in Melodifestivalen.
“I was supposed to do it in Gothenburg, but I just preserve putting it off,” Nessvold says.
Why didn’t it happen in Gothenburg?
“I get performance anxiety. I want everyone to be happy and think it’s fun.”

The character Terese i kassan broke through in SVT’s comedy series “Trevlig helg” in 2021.
In 2023, she received her own spin-off series, giving viewers even more of the brash and uninhibited cashier.
Nessvold says that every Monday, when they go over the week’s script, he’s wondered if that’s the week Terese will appear in Melodifestivalen.
“I keep thinking, ‘Is it this week?’ And then, ‘No, we’ll skip it and do it next week.’”
When Will Terese i Kassan Appear in Melodifestivalen?
Nessvold realizes there are only two weeks left of Melodifestivalen and that if he’s going to bring back Terese, it has to happen either in Sundsvall during the fifth heat or in the final on March 7.
“Now I just have to get it done,” he says.
Nessvold still offers Swedish audiences a promise:
“I promise that Terese i kassan will appear in Melodifestivalen in Sundsvall. Or in the final.”
Is Meira Omar already through to the final?
