VL 29/5-30/5 + 01/06/12 ep chat (+ caps / vids)

[catswhiskermcginty]

Today's episode was good I think maybe having Jessica and Andi talking might have been better someone needs to tell her to calm down in a way she will understand personally I wouldn't wish Hagen on her but I find him boring, but otherwise I do like having her around and I hope they don't soften her too much.

The Arno story has been good and I hope it keeps up I like the character and like Charlie he interacts well with all the other characters on the show.

I loved the Christian's agony aunt role and as I have said before he works well with Rebecca and I loved getting his view on his reaction to Olli still not convinced on the whole Marbecca as a couple but I am enjoying there story and new Rebecca is growing on me.

Episode of today with Chris and a summary in the description box

[Trish]

Thanks for posting. Wow over 12 minutes for Chris in a support role. I can't remember the last time him and Olli had that much time. Except maybe in the last eppy before Olli left.

[sonia38]

What was Chris and Marlene talking about, I know I heard Olli's and Rebecca's name mentioned.

[88chrolli]

When sonia?

And as i wrote was they talk aout it's on the description of the video

[sonia38]

^^thanks. I am really slow, I had no idea there was a description, I just found it, lol.

[teachgirl]

Only just managed to watch yesterday's show. I thought the scenes between Christian and Marlena were very well acted.

The fact that Christian was able to be so supportive for her, while he often is so uncomfortable/incapable when trying to comfort others, has to do with a real inability to put himself in someone's else's shoes. I get the sense that is because he is always a bit uncomfortable in his own skin and often has trouble even understanding himself, let alone someone else. But in this case, he has truly been in Marlena's shoes, and he has a very clear sense of the process by which he came to love Olli, so he can show true compassion for her situation.

I'm glad we got to hear Christian articulate his feelings. I would have preferred to hear them in the context of a Chrolli-centered storyline, but I'll take it.

And I know I shouldn't even ask this, since VL never has any continuity, but when Marlene said that she wasn't aware that Christian had been with women before, I wondered whether she hadn't known about Christian/Theresa last summer? Dana and Hagen had a front-row seat to that. Did neither of them ever mention it to her? And Marlene was tangentially involved when she caught Theresa drugging the horse, etc. But I guess we're supposed to block all that out for dramatic purposes so she'll have a reason to open up to Christian (and I am quite happy to block out all memory of those scenes anyway ). Anyway, the scenes were good ....

Teachgirl I agree with your comment. The only thing about your question I think she may have thought that Christian had been involved with men before he met Olli and that was why she was surprised I can't say anything about last year I didn't watch.

[Trish]

I'm sure your right. She problably thought that he had always kind of went both ways and had no problems, like Rebecca presents herself. She probably thought that he and Olli just got together and he had no doubts about his feelings. She had no way of knowing that he was exclusively with women before Olli.

this is how I've always felt about Christian

[Trish]

Wow Tanja. I felt so bad for her. Clarissa was eating up the show, that she had set in motion. I always said that thse heels the women wear on that show were deadly. I don't want Sonja to die, but she had a lot of nerve moving in on another woman's man.

Melena lies through and teeth about what she was doing with Christian. Lucky for her Christian didn't blow her out of the water.

Poor Arno is so lost.

Caps of June 1st

[bero]

is it only me ? or does the videos on the show's website don't work ?

[Trish]

I had no problem.

Olli better get back soon or Chris is going to weigh 500 pounds when he gets back. At least he's keeping up with his Nordic walking.

[88chrolli]

no problem for me to watch the video too.

When Chris eat it's a good sign, no? lol.

[Trish]

Yes, it's a good sign that he's happy, but Olli isn't around to help him burn off the extra calories. How many more weeks before Olli is suppose to return. Is it down to 2? Or did I miss calculate?

[88chrolli]

yes, it's approximately 2 weeks, a little more if i remember well

I guess it would be, since the show wasn't on for a few days. I've enjoyed the scenes with Christian and part of me is scared that Christian will disappear when Olli comes back, but at least there's a chance of Chrolli when they are both around. With Olli gone there is none and I miss them.

[88chrolli]
