So, Daniel is catching on to Jessica's dyslexia. I was surprised that Olli was there when Daniel voiced his suspicion. I thought they would keep Chrolli out of the loop.

[amk]

Jessica can't read ...aha I think the authors are really desperate when they write such stories ...

for what reason?

======================

Thanks Joanna for the caps
this one is totally sweet



and this one - I do not know why, but I think this picture, laugh and gestures are more about Renee, Dirk and Jo than about Helena, Daniel and Olli

[lolaruns]

To keep it personal between Jessica and Daniel/because they don't care about Chrolli.

[Trish]

They seem to want Chrolli to be Daniel's confidant on everything. Who would have thought that the would have mentioned his thoughts about 3somes to them. Or maybe it will help justify Olli's taking pity on her when no one seemed to want to.

[luffy69843]

How is Jessica supposed to have worked for Tanja as a kind of a secretary at some point if she can't read?

and more: how she could write (we have see it!)? Simply, we are in the alternative VL Universe!

[Trish]

History is what VL says it is and we all know that logic doesn't exist.We are suppose to forget that when this all started she was trying to get the Incest campaign going, before Olli shamed her into dropping it. Are we suppose to believe that she was going to do that when she can read a sign that said morning specials? I can by that she has dyslexia or whatever, but they are taking it too far,

Maybe that's why she's having so much trouble with her English. That time that Olli was helping her with her congigations, he was using her book. I wonder her she was able to manage that. Another example of history being what VL says it is.

[bel7003]

Somehow I feel kind of comforted with this new Jessica dislexia plot. It just proves that the erratic plots and s/l's don't affect Chrolli alone. Plus, maybe now Jessica will be a bit nicer and more genuine, once she needs to drop the act.

As for Chrolli being Daniel/Jessica/Helena's confidents, best friends and advisers... well... we've seen it in the past. They have acted like that for many characters and I like it. At least, we can see them doing something and being cute. It could be worse...

Speaking of which, Olli has moved on from from wiping glasses to wiping dishes... Yay! I'm thrilled at the novelty. But he looked soooo gorgeous doing it. ;D

Thank you, Joanna, for the lovely caps.

[dalphine]

Shouldn't the esp. be up by now.

[Trish]

Yeah it should.

[dalphine]

Can someone give a little summary of what happen today. The esp. is still not up.

Phew...

Timo organizes for Leonie to sing at No Limits. She's very shy but does well. Chrisitan is there to set up the stage. Leonie in turn at the same time organized for Ricardo to agree that Timo can go to pilot school after all. They go to the orangerie and have sex (it was kinda funny because they did this really cheesy Phil and Nico type setup and Leonie was mocking it mercilessly).

Tanja is pissed because Clarissa wrote an email to Sebastian exposing what Tanja has been doing lately. As payback she calls the police and rats out Timo and Leonie for abducting her. The police search for Leonie at No Limits and Olli tells them that they are probably at Timo's. The police knock on the door while Timo and Leonie are in their afterglow.

Marlene went to do the paternity test, but freaked out, started yelling that she didn't want the baby regardless of who the father is. She signed the papers and had the abortion with Rebecca there. After the abortion she and Rebecca looked at each other kinda soulfully and Marlene confessed that she was happy to be through with it.

Dana's dad and Hagen broke the family tv. Thomas went grumpy when Viktoria bought a new tv from a bonus Ansgar gave her. Viktoria was pissed. Ansgar scored some major sexy points with Viktoria when he gave her a scarf as a present and told her he was giving it to her because she was the kind of person who would never use the bonus money to actually buy something for herself.

Emilio cooked for Kim but I forgot why.

[Trish]

I guess I'm glad it didn't come up. Thanks for the summary.

[dalphine]

Yes thanks for the summary.

[sonia38]

I just saw yesterday's episode. You mean to tell me that no one had noticed anything wrong with Jessica or that he has dyslexia. She applied for a job at the Castle, she works for Tanya, she organized some sort of fundraiser to get money for Chrolli and did it all effortlessly, now she has a problem, whatever.

Olli just walked back into the apartment and made tea for Jessica and Daniel, you mean to tell me that the water was still hot in that kettle, lord help me but these little things drive me crazy, but I have to remember it's only tv.

[Trish]

Yeah, wouldn't it have been nice if Chris was waiting at the flat and he just happened to be making tea when they came in? I've learned to not think about things. They come up with ideas and just write from there. It doesn't matter what came beforehand.

[Trish]

Thanks for the pics. Wonder why it took so long for it to come up on Medialink.

Todays was an example of how not to raise your children. All the adults sitting around while the teenagers, wingle their way out of the mess they have gotten themselves into.

Poor Tristan. Seems like he's never going to be happy. All he wanted was to take care of Marlene and the baby and all Marlene could think of was herself. I know she suffered a terrible ordeal, but I'm gettng tire of the self pity and lashing out at the people that are trying to help.

So J can't read a board hanging in NL, but she was reading the newspaper? Maybe she was just looking at the pictures.

[sonia38]

I don't even know what to feel just watching Christian and Olli being in the background while those annoying teens get all the airtime. Is anyone else feeling the love between Timo and Leonie, all I can say about them is her song sounded nice but that's about it. No one seems to have a problem with them being first cousins and having a sexual relationship so I guess it's all OK. I'm just a bit bored not getting so see Chrolli do anything recently.

Can anyone who saw today's show please tell me what that scene with Arno and Andi was all about, thanks.

[bero]

guys my colleague when I was an intern was dyslexic, she was training for a Bachelor degree as a foreign language teacher. Being dyslexic is not being illiterate.

[luffy69843]

Yeah we know that, i'm dyslexic myself and with hard work it didn't prevent me to write good french and decent english!

It's just VL who seems to do Jess problem as if Dylexic=Illiterate.

And about Timo & Leo being first cousin, well now VL cross the red line showing brothers & sister having sex, i think they can go with cousins! The family reunion will be nice!

I really don't get how this went without being a big scandal in Germany... If that was in the USA or in Italy even in a show nobody watch a lot of newpapers would have report it

I admit I didn't see the episode yet, but some comments here were interesting, they would ask how could she be a secretary for Tanja without it being discovered; about VL, I have to see the eppy translated to see how they have exaggerated

[Trish]

That's the thing. I know people with dyslexic and you are right they are not illiterate, but VL wants to make it seem that way. Maybe J didn't get help when she was younger, but she wouldn't have been able to make it as far as she has if she couldn't figure out how to read a simple menu. Or the scene when she had to read the report. We are suppose to believe that's the first time she was required to do so. It's just absurd. VL believes in extremes and in this case it's insulting.
