I didn't notice it before, but where did the scarf come from? It's not there when he's talking to Tristan/Marlen, but it is when he's with Emillo. Very strange.
And thanks Joanna.

I figured it out. His neck is awfully exposed in the first few pics and Christian stopped by and couldn't resist. So he was forced to put on the scarf.  |

I think unfiortunately it was cut. That's why Christian was one of the few people not seen today.  But we can use our imagination. We know how much he loves Olli's neck. |

So Today's show was boring? Why am I not surprised. I actually thought the best thing about yesterday's show was how pretty Olli looked, Luca and Nicklas in the background and clarissa's nice kitchen. So now I guess we get two boring shows in a row.

Emillo and Kim getting pep talks aobut their problems and Ansgar making his play for Viktoria were bad enough. It was nice seeing Tristan/Helena talk. They actually have a good brother/sister relationhip, but Malrene crying again and then all of a sudden building a mishift club, where all I could do was wonder where she got the minature pieces from, did nothing for me either.
Yesterday I was fasinated by the number of characters that showed up. Today, I could have used a lot more, because the ones they used didn't excited me.

It took me exactly 5 minutes to watch yesterday and today's episodes plus the preview for tomorrow. If things go on like this, my FF button will wear out. ;D I can't really explain this, but the show just doesn't feel like VL anymore, nothing makes much sense and I don't really see what's the point in most of the dialogues and stories. They are keeping things in such a basic level... I mean, Marlena making a cardboard replica of a club??? I loved Justus, though. He never lets me down! |

I think that's it Bel. I never warmed up to the Majorca people or the Wolf family, except for Dana and they have taken over the show. I think that's why I like it when Tanja/Elizabeth are on, that way there is a sense of familiarity to it. All of the people related to Chrollie are gone that were there when I first started watching and now Chrolli is such an afterthought to the new crowd, that there is nothing to really connect me to them. I think that's why I feel so bored with it all.

You're right, Trish. Too many new characters at the same time and we didn't even have time to warm up to them. And the problem is that most of them aren't interesting enough. They are just flat characters, no psychological dimension to them. Everything is treated only on a superficial level, without any depth. Of course I don't expect major philosophical questions; we're talking about a soap, after all. But I would like to see more thought out characters and s/l's. |

It's a soap, that's true, but given the amount of time they spend on the s/l you would think we would know more about what is going on and their motivation. I can feel for Tristan. All that he's been through and he finally thinks that he can have something with Marlene and she throws it all away. Literally. My heart broke when he found the sonogram picture in the trash.
Marlene has been through a lot, but I just don't feel for her. She just seems too cold.
Same things with the teens. It's like they feel that things are owed to them, when they haven't done anything to earn it. Timo finds out that Ricardo isn't is father and his life falls apart. I get it, but it was made up drama since his father was a sleeze and was dead. So I could care about his grief. Then Emillo and his worried about being kicked out of Germany, he snuck in to begin with. After making a mess of things in Majorca.
As you said, there's nothing to make us want to care about them.

It's days like this that make me miss the Judith being in love with that idiot Fabian (I could not stand him) storyline. What a complete bore today is.

I was thinking the same thing Sonia. You didn't really care about Fabian, but you cared about Judith. In the Helena/Daniel/Jess mess, I don't really care about any of them. I wish that Andi could find someone. He's been kind of fun lately, but when he was front and center, he was such a meathead, it was hard to get into him, I miss those days now. I'd be happy if we could see more of Charlie/Frank, but we only get snippets.

That's something the German fans care about though because they perceive the situation as Timo being lied to/him not being told the full story (that Tanja murdered his father's pregnant girlfriend and that's why he snapped [also: Clarissa told him to and Charlie agreed with it]).

I'm not saying that the pretense is bad, just the presentation of it. VL has some good ideas, but their execution is what's lacking.

I'm just confused why this is considered made up drama. I just think that to the German fans this is one of the few things that hit at the core of the show because Timo finding out could mean having a genuine moral upper hand against Tanja. Plus, I think Timo/Ricardo is one of the few things on the show that is actually kinda well written/seems like somebody is putting in some genuine care.
Now Timo as a character/to some extent the actor is still annoying, but I consider that to be one of the ok stories (mostly because of the effort that seems to go into the Ricardo/Timo scenes).

A lttle Chrolli today.
Why is it whenever we see Christian, he doing something that is against doctor's orders. At least it looked like he was taking a break at first, but you mean to tell me that Rebecca couldn't get some of the castle help to help her move? I guess I should be happy that we got to see the boys, even if it seemed absurd given what has happened.

I guess I should be happy that we got to see the boys, even if it seemed absurd given what has happened. He even wanted to eat pizza before Rebecca served the sushi and neither Olli nor Rebecca seemd to care about that. I think we should just forget it was ever said Chris isn´t allowed to do all these things anymore. The writers seem to have forgotten it too. I know it´s difficult to continue with it forever on a soap but so must the writers. So why the hell did they make such a big deal out of it after the heart attack. |

Where is Rebecca moving to, not the flatshare I hope. Is she getting her own place?
