I agree the Jessica/Andi banter is funny, because you get the undertones of them not liking each other. Which is understood. That's the problem of her being in the Chrolli orbit. Chris tolerates her for Olli, but as big hearted as Olli is, it's just hard to believe that he would think that she's so sweet and everything given what she has done.
Even if her intensions were good. She was taking the money under false pretensens. Chris came around to Olli's thinking, as Chris always does, but he knew that it was wrong. He wanted to see Lily as much as Olli did. He loves children and would love to have one with Olli, but given their situation, it just doesn't seem possible. Who knows, maybe someday, one will magically come into their lives where there won't be as big a chance that they will lose it, but given as little sceentime as they are getting now, I don't want thtat to be for a while.

Yesterday's episode was kinda boring, but I liked a few things- Olli honey, "What's wrong with Ibiza?"- well, Mallorca and Ibiza are like forever black listed in Christian's book you should figure why Also, Christian must've scored well in Geography back in school ;D

To be honest, the only Jessica scenes I like are the ones with Andi. Her scenes with Olli and/or Christian come off as awkward; with Daniel... boring. With Dana... meh! But with Andi, I think the scenes really work ( with Tanja, too.).
As for Chris always doing what Olli wants, well... it looks like nothing has changed. ;D Even when they were spinning the globe, Olli wanted to spin again, Chris said "No!" and then? He let Olli spin again! We know this is part of their problems, but I can't help loving the fact that Chris is unable to refuse Olli anything.

I thought the same. ;D
But then I remembered that Christian is the only character who likes books (he was sad, when his books were destroyed by the fire) and who's actually seen reading (except for Helena, when she was working on her thesis). I guess he has some knowledge. He even knew about paellas.

Yes Bel, that's one thing that I adore about Christian. Olli gave him that pouty face and he was no more good. So loved that
I agree with you on Jessica too. The scenes with Dana are blah. Beisdes Tanja/Andi, I also like her with Justus. It would be nice if would recognize thes things, but I'm sure that as usual they will do what they want and keep her in Chrolli's orbit, even if it seems awkward and forced.

Oh yeah! Andi and Jessica have MAJOR chemistry in my eyes VL, please consider them, it would one hellova 'Forbidden Love' ;D
Yes that would be forebidden. Being attracked to someone that accused you of rape and to add a little more spice to it trying to figure out a way into the heart of someone that hates you for destroying thier life. Much more interesting than the Danile/Helena pairing. There was really nothing to keep them apart. It's not like Daniel was close to Nico or Philip's brother. It's tragic that she killed him, but it doesn't really have an impact on him and as far as her being Andi's bother, they prety much had said a while back that they didn't want to get married and they had broken up long before.

Wonder what the viewership results will be with the limited screen time for Chrolli and all this Jessica stuff... Looks like Emilio and Kim will be getting a lot of screen. The good news is that these results are known pretty quickly. The problem is it takes 3 months to recover when you have bet so much on being right and have so much in the can.
But then I remembered that Christian is the only character who likes books (he was sad, when his books were destroyed by the fire) and who's actually seen reading (except for Helena, when she was working on her thesis). I guess he has some knowledge. He even knew about paellas.
I also love that he likes to read; his tastes are quite eclectic -- aside from the books he always studied on horses, I think I recall one of Joanna's caps from some episode that showed a close-up of a book he was reading about hypnosis, of all things.
I'm sure people will like Emillo/Kim. I like them better than Timo/Leonie. Jessica has been front and center for a while now, so I guess people must like her. The weird thing about Emillo is that he was so hung up on Leonie and now it's like he doesn't even remember who he is. He talks to Timo, but does he talk to her?
I'm not worried about the limited Chrolli screentime. They rare had tons anyway and now that they are together and happy, they will have even less. Look at Hagen/Dana. Except for the time on her birthday they haven't had any scenes together really. They don't even live together. We do at least have that with Chrolli. Dana has been relegated to helping her sister and worrying about her family and Hagen basically shows up at family meals and that's about it. I almost laughed when she was complaining about how bad Christmas was. It was the first one that she had with the "love of her life" yet that didn't seem to be worth a mention.

Why do I get a feeling that Thore has something to do with that. He probably picks out obscure titles just to see if we are paying attention.

Yea twatts, now that you mention, I'd almost forgotten Dana and Hagen are actually together now. Its a shame Chrolli belongs to VL If only there was a way to put teleport them to some other nicer show, or perhaps a show of their own

Beisdes them, you have Tanja/Seb. Tanja who was on constanly. They got married and she had the baby and then was gone for like a month. They still don't get a ton of scenes together. She more wrapped up in her work and Marlene. I don't think I've seen her hold the baby since she's been back.
It would be nice if they had their own show though. We just have to be patient. Eventually they'll get another s/l. Let's just hope its not as frustrating as the last. I'll jjust enjoy the couple of good moments we are getting. Because I'm sure the guys will make them special. Like Christian sneaking up on Olli. You have to wonder if that was scripted or if that was the boys just being ridiculously cute.

I often imagine them with their own show, it's a pity really, I think they would really rock.
I would love it if Chrolli had there own show as well. We could see our guys for the whole hour or half hour which ever long the show would be. I'm just thinking of all the good things we could see them do and wouldn't have to worry about them not being on. It would so great if that would happen.
This thread is starting to go a bit off-topic, guys...

My hero could go there, or say this, or jump on that, or simply stay where he is and eat a cake. And, perhaps, 'he' isn't even a 'he' at all, but a 'she'...or a chair. Enough to drive you insane.
