Its nice to see that Hagen has some cojones after all. I think this is the most believably expressive he has been since this actor began. Theresa is quite the bitch and I am glad someone shut her up. The Olli part with Ansgar was already spoiled in previews but I loved seeing it again. It was so funny . Christian finally showed an emotion towards Theresa, he has been pretty bland with her throughout. And it was anger!

Pretty good show today. Love Christian sitting between Jessica and Theresa. Talk about being stuck between a rock and a hard place. The horse idea was Theresa's and of course Jessica used what she heard to her advantage. I was really nervous when Chris came back to the stables and saw Theresa. When he pushed her against the wall, I thought he was going to kiss her, since he was made about Jessica blabbing to Olli. So glad nothing happened. Can't wait for the translations.

very interesting episode IMO... I think the writers are finally trying to return the old Christian - but I'm a bit confused of his behavior today ...I don't understand what he really wants ...but his scenes were not bad !! although there was a fight with Olli again (a divorce was mentioned for the first time) and I also liked the Olli/Jessica scenes ...although Jessica showed again , how manipulative bit...she can be

Lots of potential for shippy interpretation, but the overall pacing of the story/episode was weird to me. Next: Mallorca

Well, since I don't speak German, I usually wait till MM posts her vid so I can understand things better, but today I think Christian started to finally show his feelings, although not about Olli. Theresa is a clever girl and she pushed some of Christian's buttons. His lost dream. She reminded him of who he used to be and what he used to want. And we got to see how angry and frustrated he is, with his life and maybe even with his job. Anyone seeing Christian the last couple of months would think he was contented with his life and that drove us mad. Today, we saw how miserable he feels. (Unless, of course, I got it all wrong and after MM's vid I'll think differently.) Anyway, I loved it when he pressed her against the wall AND NOTHING HAPPENED! (I was sort of praying: don't kiss her, Christian; don't kiss her...) ;D

I watched todays show I enjoyed it even thou I didn't understand a word that was said. I loved that there giving Olli and Christian more scenes together. I'm still not into the Mallocra drama.

I am not sure, but maybe the writers wanted to show us today that Christian is having second thoughts about the way he and Olli are going. He looked a little shocked, when he learned that Olli had an accident und it seemed to me as he wasn't sure if he should go upstairs to see how Olli was doing. He was quite aggressive towards Theresa. So maybe this is what the writers and directors think an emotional Chris is like. If that is the case, they should rethink their attitude. If I am wrong, then I have no clue what this episode was good for.

From today's episode only (which I have not yet watched but am reading reactions), it sounds like we are supposed to suspend reality and pretend the last few months of Christian was really pod-Christian and now his "old" self is emerging? I hate it when we are expected to forget actions and just worship a OTP. Be consistent, show! Respect your viewers!

I don't know about pod-Christian, but I thnk he just didn't want to shake the boat. He's personal life was a mess, so he just through himself into his work and sleeping with this girl, who he didn't like much, but seemed nice enough.
Then all of a sudden he realized that she's worse than he thought and was blackmailing a Dana, who just wanted a chance. I think he's truly sick of T, but as bel said, I think she hit on some butons. He liked his life enough when he was with Olli, but Olli is gone, and now it's not enough and his frustrations were coming out.
I just think that Chrisitan is waking up and seeing what his life has become. The next few weeks should be interesting.

I'm not forgetting anything they really are going to have to do something for me to care for Christian again. Even thou I want them back together Christian has to fight to get Olli love and respect back. I need to see something for me to forgive him and also they have to answer why he always turn to woman when him and Olli have a fight. I know hes' bi but that's still not a answer for me.

Now, it looks like he's starting to wake up and looking around. And he's not liking what he's seeing. Let's see what he decides to do with his life.

The love of his life is has Jessica whispering in his ear and he's been bedding a blackmailing witch. Not a pretty picture.

I also find it difficult to understand what Christian wants. But maybe that's the point, that he doesn't know what to do or what he wants, I don't know.
Theresa's plans seem quite good for me, and even though she probably did it primarily for herself, I liked how she encouraged Christian to make more out of his life. That's what Olli once used to do a long time ago. I found it interesting Theresa did remind him of his boxing career to bring back the fighting spirit in him, to fight for his dreams. His answer was also interesting, when he told her, that he had to stop boxing because of his heart problems and that her plans are nothing but "little girl's dreams."

But whenever someone mentioned it, they were told by others that VL doesn't do subtle, and that it was just a passing mention that didn't mean anything. So my "interesting" was meant just a little sarcastically.

I need translations, but for what I saw Everything was pretty much kept the same except the reaction of Christian to Theresa The way he pushed Theresa and what he answered was kinda intriguing and maybe confusing Jessica still with her same tricks, the moment she sees her time, she goes and takes advantage of the events The episode itself not bad at all, I seen worse.

Thank you Joanna I understand people that say that Philip's death is taking too long, but I'm taking it from Nico's point of view. It must be very hard for her to lose the love of her life. Even when she knows there is no hope, specially scientifically that Philip will come back, her heart is giving her all the hopes Oh Nico, be strong, you have to move on sooner or later

Yeah but at the same time when you know someone you love is dead and only a vegetable breathing thanks to a machine, you have to let go eventually.
And all Nico's friends and family should gently and softly encourage her to see there is only one way out of this and she has to stop this and start her mourning.

My god I'm not pro Olli or Christian but you have to recoignize Christian can be so stupid sometimes!
First Jessica didn't lie, he told big T about having half of the house when she talked about money for a horse and second why did he speak about this in front of Jessica, as If she wasn't gonna run upstairs to tell Olli.
And What's the point of pushing both Theresa and Olli away l. I'm not divorcing for 'whatever reasons' and that's 'none of your buisness' and after that trashing Theresa. I don't get it lol

I love this epi! Christian is only repeating Olli's words back at him. And aww about him not wanting a divorce, and Olli being worried about it. Jessica was at her best today. "Look in a mirror" nice Loved angry Christian at the end.
