I'm alex (what a suprise!), 25 and french The only soap i can see is AWZ, but with Youtube I watch some storylines from HO (JP/Craig, JP/Kieron, and also Rhys/Beth), El Cor de la Ciutat, ATWT, VL I also love QAF US (don't know UK, but love the short scenes i've watch), Torchwood ( i must say Ianto), Ab Fab (I love Patsy even if she's a SHE and straigth) and i'm a fan of manga, especially Yaoi, and in Yaoi especially Nitta Yôka. Favorite chars in order : obviously ROMAN (i'm in love with Dennis Grabosch), Ianto, JP, Kris (but can't see him as much as i want), Kieron, Luke, Iago and Max. About Nuke I pray for new storylines : Luke/Casey (it would be fun at least), for the "crash car (like HO) of Ameera", and most of all "Noah goes to a school of acting".

Hello from Spain! I'm 26 and my name's Carlos. I started watching Nuke story last year, in October, thanks to YouTube. Before that, I was already a fan of El Cor de la Ciutat because it's aired here in my country. And around Christmas I discovered HO, AWZ and VL, thanks again to YouTube, and I must say that although gay characters in Spanish soaps are very popular (some of them have even got married, as it is legal here since 2005) I had never seen such good stories relating gay characters as in those German soaps! Apart from these soaps, I also like Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Bones, Smallville... I think I'm forgetting some of them, but it's ok for a sort introduction Right now, Olli and Christian are my favourite couple, although I like Kevin/Scotty and JP/Kieron too. So I must say thanks again to Ivan (IvanIV), Paul (tihkon2, montferrat) and Nanna for the really good work they're doing so that we non-German speakers can follow the Ollian (I like it more than Chrolli) story.

Hi, I'm Daniel and I live near Philadelphia in the United States. I stumbled across V.L. via YouTube and have been hooked on Olli/Christian since. I would like to say thank you to the fantastic folks who do us the great favor of uploading and subtitling the show for us poor monolingual Yanks.

Hello everyone! I'm Alexander (Alex), a 16-year-old boy from Europe, Bulgaria. I love foreign languages, and speak fluent English, French and Bulgarian. I've been learning German for a few years now, and my biggest dream is to study medicine in Germany or Austria in two years. I'm totally in love in a German boy I met, by the way. The blog and the forum are wonderful, I'm glad to be here. Nice to meet all of you! PS: I love both AwZ and Verbotene Liebe.

Hey everybody! My name is Brian, I'm 24 and live in the southern US. I try to keep up with the Luke/Noah storyline online, but now I really just listen to what pissed people off about the latest episode rather than actually watch it myself =P
Hopefully I will become addicted to some of the other things on here. Any suggestions as to other sites I should go to would be great! Thank y'all!

I guess it would be a good idea to introduce myself too!! I am Andi (Andrea), live in England with husband and three children. I have been a Hollyoaks fan since the beginning, however became a lot more addicted when JP joined the series and the JPC storyline unfolded. I then followed a link from DS to ATWT Nuke, found Max and Enric, then followed another link to Roman and Deniz and then to Ollie and Christian. No idea what is happening to Nuke - so have lost interest a little - but am loving the O&C story Thank you so much for the links and subtitles

Hi everybody, my name is Mauro, I'm Italian and someone maybe knows me as "maurrison" on YouTube. I'm a great fan of "Verbotene Liebe" and of its best couple, Oliver & Christian of course. Recently I discovered ATWT and I'm watching the old episodes, even though I know that their story is going nowhere, but at least I practice some English listening. ;D I also followed AWZ, I found Deniz really gorgeous, and Roman so sweet, but their story has come to an end unfortunately. Who knows if they will get back together in the future? A friend of mine is keen on Hollyoaks, and she made me promise I would watch JP and Craig story as well. See you in the Verbotene Liebe message board then!

Hi Everyone!
Name's Patrick. I'm from the United States.
I stumbled across Luke and Noah on youtube back in Auguest and have been a big of them, although there current "fake marriage" storyline leaves much to be desired. (at with Casey now involved it is entertaining enough to keep watching until it gets better.)
I found the Deniz and Roman story on youtube in December and enjoyed it, until it took a turn for the worse and I stopped watching.
I just found Olli and Christian a few days ago and instantly got hooked. Easily my new favorite couple now (Sorry luke and Noah). Big thank you to all those who post the vids and the English subtitles.

Hey all, my name is Thomas. I am 35 and from Germany. (Zorrrie forr my Enklish! ) Destiny is strange and sometimes offers a duplicity of events: In autumn of 2000, I caught my tinnitus and found a good distraction with the Tom & Olli story at VL. -- And now that the sound has just become louder, Olli & Christian came up...

Hi, I'm Frank and I'm a tv addict. Wait, this isn't the 12-step-programme? I'm living in Germany, and I love Torchwood, Brothers&Sisters, Weeds, Skins, Greek, Shameless, Nuke, JP/Craig,Kieron, DeRo and Olli and Christian. Strangely enough I discovered the german storylines through english websites. lol

So I've been lurking since the James Sutton site, but the cuteness of Ollian and my lack of people to share it with in Colorado, USA, has prompted me to finally "come out" (hopefully I will do a better job than Christian did today with Gregor) and officially admit how obsessed I am. I've never been into soaps, but if its gay, I'll watch it so I found VL through the queer grapevine last month and have been repeatedly (i.e. compulsively) watching it- at least once a day ever since. VL also introduced me to Hollyoaks, and during my spring break (I'm a grad student) I spent 13 hours straight watching the JP Craig storyline and maybe 70ish hours that week watching and rewatching my favorite episodes. Hopefully my crazy is more appreciated here than by my fellow grad students who make fun of me for being soooo gay, but whatever. I'm just as obsessive with Torchwood, glbt movies (and yes, I am giving an oblique reference to the Broken Hearts Club), anime and cartoons, so it's not all about being gay... not quite anyway... And just to add to the chorus of appreciation, thank you IvanIV and Nanna for enabling those of us who don't speak German to satisfy our need for immediate gratification in watching the newest episodes with wonderful subtitles.

Hello, my name is Matt, 32 years old, from Athens, GA. I got into watching John-Paul and Craig clips awhile back, and when I discovered that VL was making waves (AND it was subtitled--thanks Nanna and IvanIV and anyone else involved!), I decided to give it a try. And now, of course, I cannot decide which I like better. Probably Christian and Ollie! I love both the guys, although I often find myself entranced by Christian's facial expressions. From my nick you can probably also tell that I am a horror movie fan; I also love comic books.
meanwhile... your story of watching VL and Hollyoaks is exactly the opposite of mine but incredibly similar!

Hello all, I'm horrible at introductions so, my appologies in advance I live in the North Carolina in the United States. I heard about the Luke and Noah thing but never watched any of it because IMHO soaps in the U.S. are cheesey and lame. Don't remember how i came across it but somehow a month or 2 ago i came across Hollyoaks and was rather impressed with how they handled John-Paul's story line and got hooked on that. and through the James Sutton forum found VL . I was amazed that the scenes in this show concerning Oliver and Christian were so hot and at the same time so beautiful. On a side note i took my name from an episode of The Brak Show. Dunno what else to say but, see you guys on the forums

Hi there, my name is Gerry, living in Italian Province of South Tyrol (Alto Adige) just a few steps from Swiss border. Nearby famous Austrian, Italian and Swiss winter sport resorts as the Engadin with its “Top of the World” destination St. Moritz. I'm a great FAN of "Verbotene Liebe" already since 1996 and Jo Weil meeting him first in 1998 before he started his career as actor one year later. Glamorous “Verbotene Liebe” was one of the very first German Soaps introducing gay and lesbian characters, couples and even marriages. My absolutely favorites - the loveliest couple ever - our cuties Christian and Oliver(!!) Thore and Jo interpreting their most romantic love story… Sooo sweet!!! For a certain time I also followed AWZ, with Deniz and Roman. I found them quite nice but the story didn’t touch me really. Very interesting also – “Brothers & Sisters”. See you at the Message Board!

Hi, I'm Michael, 25, from Germany. I found a link to TGOD on another forum where I heard about the Oliver/Christian storyline on VL for the fist time, just a week ago. I don't watch TV often and if I do, it's certainly not soaps, so shame on me for having to hear about that storyline through an English-speaking forum... I had heard about Luke/Noah on ATWT and Roman/Deniz on AWZ before and now I can say that Oliver/Christian is so much better - the best love story I know so far, actually! I'm very glad that there are people who capture soaps and put the clips with a gay storyline online. Thanks for that because I really can't be bothered to watch soaps in full length. ;D

I'm nilo from Germany ( Nina-Louisa, so that means I'm a girl ) I found this board through you tube watching the Chrollie-Story again and again....they are so cute together...after reading a lot here I finally decided to join this community...hopefully it's as nice at it seems to be... I also watched AWZ at the beginning but stopped after Julian died so I am not really into this story at the moment....

Hi, I'm Nicolas (Nick) from Argentina, 21. I'm also obssesed with the Ollian story, I already watched all the episodes in Youtube, so I'm expecting new ones! It's the best and more credible gay history I ever watched.
I'm not a soap fan, anyways... here we had some gay storylines (I just posted one in another subforum) in daytime soaps, even in some teenagers stories. They even showed some "high voltage scenes", but I don't know if the subject has progressed as much as in Germany, where that's one of the main storylines and they don't bother in showing kisses.
Well, hope you understood me, my english is not so good.

Hi All!! I'm T, I'm Indian but I go to school in the United States... I got into El Cor De La Ciutat sometime in February or something when Enric was still on the show (hated him and loved Iago... and am glad Max got together with Iago)... I loved Queer as Folk (US) which I got into last year. Recently, I got addicted to As The World Turns (love Luke/Noah), Hollyoaks (love JP/Kieron, HATED Craig) and Verbotene Liebe (simply can't get enough of Christian/Oliver). I watched the Deniz/Roman storyline (whatever I could find on YouTube, but Vanessa just sort of pissed me off, and I couldn't get into the show.. )... I love Christian/Olli and Noah/Luke, John Paul/Kieron, Max/Iago. My friends don't understand why I like watching the Gay story lines in all these shows, but they've learned to accept it as who I am and not question it. It sucks that I always end up falling for gay guys though... I also only watch the gay story lines in all the above shows since they're easily available subtitled (or close) there, and I don't find the other Drama quite as interesting...

Hi, I'm Stuart - also known as Minotaur. I've been active in slash fandom for a long time, but now I'm adding soaps to my playlist. Favorites - Christian/Olli for the romantic kisses, closely followed by Max/Iago for the great (well, by soap standards) conflict, and John Paul/anybody just because he's such a cutie. Curse you, Nanna and Alejandro and Ivan for providing such addictive stuff [grin].

Hi! I'm Maria from Norway. The storylines I'm currently watching are VL Christian and Olli, and B&S Kevin and Scotty! I'm a huge fan of the actor Luke MacFarlane (Scotty). Oh, and BTW: In a months time gay marriage will be legal here in Norway too
