You really expect passion when they are just kissing good bye, after Olli had given his orders to Christian? Olli was obviously running late, as he looked at his watch after giving the waitress the weiners. Not really a passonate moment. So a quick peck before leaving was as expected. JMO. You know, on the one hand I agree with this. In the midst of life's everyday craziness and rush, most long-term couples don't pause in a crowded workplace for a passionate kiss. A little peck is pretty normal; at least they make the effort to kiss. On the other hand, in the past, during times when they were in the background for long stretches, they did make a little more effort than I think they make here. I always assumed that it was the actors' decision to do that, or maybe a combo of actors and director. I'm also curious as to why they have made the decision to act the scenes this way.

I don't think that there is anything with the level of passion within the context of the scene.
However, I do feel like this thing where they make a wide kissy mouth into the air is a new quirk of theirs that I don't remember having been there before or at least not as much. I don't care for it. Not because of passion or lack of passion, but just because I think it looks weird. So I'm kinda hoping that they'll retire it eventually.

I see nothing wrong with the way they interact with one another, and as background characters right now this is about as much as we can expect. I also think it's unfair to blame their real life personal relationships, whether Thore and Jo's, or Thore and Jana's, or Jo and Jana's, etc., or their real life sexual preferences for whatever may or may not be lacking in their onscreen performance (and I don't really feel it's lacking or suffering.) They are professionals and I don't think they are afraid or reluctant to do their jobs because of whatever relationships they may have outside the show. And they've had these offscreen relationships for some time now, Jo and Thore have been friends for years, so why would it only be affecting their work now or since the reunion? And Jana has had her fair share of onscreen kisses lately and I haven't seen anybody claiming she seems reluctant to show intimacy onscreen with Thore on set, so I don't see why Thore would feel any discomfort displaying it with Jo because Jana is on set. Why, just because he's in a same sex pairing he would be inclined to feel awkward while she wouldn't? I just don't buy it. They are background right now, and I don't think a quick goodbye kiss is a moment where we'd expect to see 'passion,' whether in the 'old Chrolli' or 'Chrolli 2.0.' It's just a normal everyday kiss, and I don't think it felt any different than their pecks of old. And I also don't think Thore or Jo ever did or would 'fight' for passionate kisses or sex scenes, they did what was scripted, as they do now. Sure they would add their own touches and looks, and little things like that, which I feel they still do, but whether or not there would be a passionate kiss or a sex scene, is certainly going to come from the script and not Thore and Jo 'fighting' for it or adding it themselves. And those things aren't going to be scripted right now with them as background and support, so I think we should blame the writers and producers for the lack of those things and not Thore and Jo. In my opinion, Thore and Jo won't have any problem at all doing 'passionate' scenes if or when they get a new storyline, and I think they will perform them just as well as they always have. This is all my opinion, of course. Thanks for the caps, Joanna!

Hey, folks; can we please be careful how we continue this discussion and not let it get any more 'personal' when it comes to Jo/Thore/Jana? Please try and stick to talking about the show as actually aired. Thanks.

Timo really needs anger managememt, he is a hot head who needs to control his temper looks what heppen to Olli's bar.
Charlie is my hero, that woman got it going on.
No matter what little I get of Chrolli it is better that the more I get from the others.

Here here Sona. I wish that we got as much as we use to but whenever they are together, it makes me happy.
It wasn't only Timo, Emillo came flying into the melee too. The guy was beating up his best girl.

Btw, at the very end of the episode, after a shocked Christian has read the letter from the police that Olli gave him...
Christian: You've lost your licence? Olli: My licence. No Limits. Everything.

Olli doesn't see it that way unfortunately. It's truly sad. He never let Christian give up like that when he lost his dreams. Olli tends to be all or nothing. I'm hoping that Christian will be able to help him see that this isn't the end.

I'm hoping that Christian will be able to help him see that this isn't the end. Olli always has a hard time dealing with disappointment or when reality doesn't match his dreams. That's a consequence of being so impulsive and wearing his heart on a sleeve (and this is not bad criticism; it's just my take on the character and I love him for who he is). I'm hoping he'll come around, once he lets reality sink in and thinks more rationally. That's when he usually realizes he sometimes isn't fair to other people. So, hopefully, he'll understand Christian is trying to help him and doesn't blame him for everything.

Yes Bel, that is the way he is. I really wish that after he and Christian have been through as of late, he wouldn't get so mad at him. Christian told the guys no and Olli should have seen how busy it was from the tape. Living with him is such a rollercoaster ride. I hope you are right that he will come around.

Olli really needs to remember back several months when he really did think he'd lost everything, and it had nothing to do with No Limits. Christian may be partly at fault, but everytime there is a crisis at No Limits, it's really because Olli never has enough staff on duty. If Christian had had more people to help him behind the bar, those kids never could have taken advantage like that. All that being said, poor Olli .

I'm torn about what's happening.
On the one hand, I'm sad for Olli for losing everything. I get why he is angry and unfortunatly, he takes it all on Christian. I think he is frustrated because he lost Nolimits and he wasn't even there! For once, I understand both side equally. But I'm still ad about Olli losing Nolimits...like I was when Christian lost his dream twice (boxing carreer and the hosre stuff).
On the other hand, it means more screen time for our guys, which is a VERY good thing and some drama that IMO won't break them up (after all they have been through, I think they need more than that).
And I agree with you teachgril, I think Olli will rememeber that he didn't lose everything...He just need some time to realize it...

Nice to see our guys get more air time. But I can't stand the teenagers. I don't want to keep harping on them but I can't stand them. Maybe if they had some purpose but I don't see it. Love Chrolli always.

I'm not sure what the whole need of a club is for Marlene and Tristan either. I thought she was some kind of classical singer. It's just like a person with money to burn, to impress a gril by builder her a club with an audience. It really quite stupid. So is this idea of a pool. I guess the pool gives an excuse for Rebecca to be around and continue her lust for her brother's girl.
VL with their plot points are just way too much.

I would say too much ado about nothing or rather for TriMar's sake with Olli and (Christian) only as a support without much significance and without a real care from the authors about Chrolli's characters and stories , about Olli/Chrolli's locations the only what I care at the moment is if Olli without his NL has any chance for something better, or greater than just Miriam 2.0 I felt a real sadness for Olli and NL even though I'm not really sure if thanks to those scenes, or simply just because Well, why do I still watch this weird soap

Well, he does still have his modeling, but that is just background to Jessica. I guess he wants to own a bar, but make he can have a coffee shop instead. Helena can hook him up with a muffin supplier. Seriously, too bad this isn't a Chrolli story. It would be a good reason for Greagor to come back and take back over.

Why would Gregor leave his wife and two small kids and being a prince of wherever town to be a bar owner again? I guess he could send money or somebody who can take over the license.

He doesn't have to stay. Just come back for a bit, besides this VL he doens't need a reason and I could imagine Gregor wanting sometime away from being a prince. It was just a passing thought. I miss Gregor. I hate pretty much everyone on the show now.

This was the first time I have watched a full episode on the Mediathek more than once.
It was sad watching Olli lose NL...But, Jo did a great job as usuall in these types of scenes.
I was wondering if it was just me or did anyone else catch Christian rubbing that broom against the back of Tristian's head ?

This was actually one of the better shows I have seen in a while. I just feel Olli's pain, he has work so hard to make NL a success and in the wink of an eye it could be gone. Poor guy.
I don't get it though, Olli was not there when all this happen but I guess since he owns NL he is responsible for whatever went on there him being present or not.
Clarissa house is so nice, how did she rate the nicest place in this show and why does she wears the same style jacket ever single day in a different color.

He wasn't there during the Tristan/Marlene fiasco either. Whomever is there is there under his orders, so he is responsible.
