My favorite moment is defently when there at the club and Christian gets jealous. I could watch that minute were there dancing and him pushing the guy and fighting with him and Olli like a Billion times, I probabaly have. I can never watch that scene once, and I laugh everytime he pushes the guy, I think its so hillarious. & just the whole 'your not alowed to touch my man' look. And he just so obviously back up to knock into him. I looooove that part! I totally love the epic move by Christian on the dance floor with his elbow but even more so I adore the moment at the bar when Rick gets the drinks for he and Olli and Christian is so jealous after Rick leaves with the drinks that he can't even speak. He just barely seems to recall Miriam is there when he gives her that tepid smile and drinks toast.

roddieb,
You've certainly picked 3 good moments. The 3rd - their 2nd love scene - especially. I've watched it over and over, and it still gets me all teary eyed every time. Jo and Thore bring a level of passion and tenderness to that kiss that's just amazing.

He just barely seems to recall Miriam is there when he gives her that tepid smile and drinks toast. That really was a great scene. The look on his face was like he'd just swallowed something extremely bitter, while poor oblivious Miriam was still all smiles. Christian so clearly wanted to just punch the guy. Bad enough that Rick was hitting on his Olli, but that he clearly saw Olli as just a trick really infuriated him. The dancing scene was great too, because first Christian is trying to cover by being all over Miriam, but when Rick grabs Olli's butt Christian's blood was boiling. What's amazing was that neither Gregor nor Miriam was suspicious when Christian was justifying nearly starting a brawl in order to defend Olli's virtue. I can see a guy doing that for a female friend but for a male one is a little unusual. Plus Miriam didn't notice the way he watched Olli like a hawk the whole night? Poor hapless thing!

Second, my favorite moment for Olli was on the couch in their flat after Ollian almost got caught by Gregor in the Gym. The way Olli supported and assured Christian just made me melt. It was obvious that Olli truly loves Christian and that nothing else in the world was more important, at that moment. I saw a side of Olli that wanted me to wish he was mine, althought I am deeply in love with Christian : ) This one is probably my favorite (for now) as well. It showed so well just how much Olli really cares for Christian. Also, it shows how easily they are intimate with each other. Olli just pulled Christian onto the couch and gently soothed him. And then when he laid himself across Christian's lap Christian just put his arms around him automatically. Plus Christian's exasperated rejection of Olli's promise to only have sex in his bed. Christian likes all this doing it everywhere they can thing! I also like the bit where Olli was unpacking the groceries and Christian was sorting the laundry and they ended up doing little sweet kisses. They're quite adorably domestic these two.

It was kind of strange, but again, Miriam's not the 'brightest crayon in the box', if you know what I mean. I totally love the epic move by Christian on the dance floor with his elbow but even more so I adore the moment at the bar when Rick gets the drinks for he and Olli and Christian is so jealous after Rick leaves with the drinks that he can't even speak.

They are completely inconsistent with the whole overhearing stuff. Olli regularly discussed his woes with Christian with Olivia in the middle of the No Limits and nobody overheard them. Yet Christian and others regularly do overhear stuff (like Coco telling Sarah about the kiss; or overhearing Olli and Judith talking about him etc).

Miriam and Gregor were no more than two meters away when Olivia grabbed Olli and hissed at him to go after Christian and that "a blind man can see that he's into you". A blind man perhaps, especially because he'd probably have better hearing. Miriam and Gregor? There are times when it seems like Helen Keller had sharper senses! As for Christian, he may be the most stubborn of the lot, but he's definitely one of the less clueless of them.

People have to speak loud enough for us (the viewers) to hear them, but we have to pretend that they were whispering so that nobody else around them was able to listen.

Well, I guess Gregor was already thinking about something else, you can guess twice what, I am not going to write it here and for Miriam it's probably enough to see some shiny object to get distracted ;D No, it's really like this side-talk in theatre, where you as an audience hear it, but nobody else is supposed to. Soap operas do a bit of overacting in this respect, too.

Soap operas do a bit of overacting in this respect, too. She grabbed him and practically shook him as well. Normally that would make one at least a little curious about what they were talking about I suspect. And contrary to popular belief whispers can be heard across a short distance (for example by people standing right behind you). But of course Gregor's mind was focused on thoughts of a quick holiday in Cherry Valley and yes, my impression at this point is that Miriam's brain operates like a very slow Windows PC. The hourglass just sometimes pops up and the whole system does nothing and accepts no inputs for a few moments.

Hello, newcomer here as well. The great thing about Ollian is that there are so many authentic, romantic moments between the characters that it's really hard to pick one. So I'll have to pick several: the kitchen scene where the guys did their little dance followed by the rapid kisses, Christian's jealous outrage at drug dealer Rick groping Olli's ass, and, of course, the first time they made love where Christian felt no guilt afterwards followed by their underwear party scene. Bottom line is, Ollian is just a very well-told love story, and I can't wait to see what comes up next! American soaps can learn a thing or 100 from this storyline on VL.

Favorite serious moment, the argument after the club. Olli so called Christian out big time and Christian knew, that's why he freaked out and locked Olli out of his room.
Favorite sweet moment, Chris kissing Olli after Judith called them out.
Favorite intimate moment was the gym before today, LOL.

I agree with you tihkon2! That's such an amazing episode! I had only seen the towel scene before and know, thanks to you and Nanna, it's edited and subtitled! You both really are my heroes! Of couse, I also love the shower scene and when they almost kiss each other when they're sleeping! They slept beside each other and they almost kissed? *heart pounding so fast and screaming inside in delight* when?? I agree, without Nanna, IvanIV, Wolfi, & tihkon2, none o this would have been possible. Thanks so much! We love you!!!

Hi divinewinds, I think konrabo was talking about how Olli almost kissed Christian when he was asleep on the couch, and Christian almost kissed Olli when he was asleep on the couch.

My favorite moment.... mmm... I have three. One for each of them and one for both of them. First, my favorite moment for Christian was after he and Olli had their first sexual encounter and Christian broke down into tears on the bathroom floor. Before collapsing to the floor as he looked in the mirror it was like he was seeing "someone" for the first time. He could see into the depths of his soul and realized, "this is who I am." I wished I could have been there to hold him and assure him he was going to be ok. Second, my favorite moment for Olli was on the couch in their flat after Ollian almost got caught by Gregor in the Gym. The way Olli supported and assured Christian just made me melt. It was obvious that Olli truly loves Christian and that nothing else in the world was more important, at that moment. I saw a side of Olli that wanted me to wish he was mine, althought I am deeply in love with Christian : ) Third favorite moment was in Christian's bedroom after the famous bar scene when Christian finally admitted to Olli that he had fallen in love with him. Even though he tried to fight it, he just couldn't overcome his deepest feelings and desire. That was true love, to me. And, instead of a typical "raunchy" soap sex scene our boys gave us something different. The way they gave themselves to each other (at least in the few minutes we could see) was as if the whole world had stopped revolving and nothing else mattered. They had all the time in the world and enjoyed each passoinate moment. ohhhhh... my heart be still. AAAAAAH!!!! Your first choice about Christian... i felt so sorry for him... I know how he felt. I had to go through that when I was in 2nd grade... molested... BUT nothing really went inside me (Wolfi, am I being too graphic? I hope not. ) That was heartbreaking - to see Christian like that. I loooooooooooove the second one! I saw myself in his character and was really wishing that Olli was real and that he'd be with me.... but no. He was so cute when he layed down on Christian and said "And if it would help you, I promise to never make love to you outside your bed" (sorry, paraphrasing here). And then they kissed too! That just melted me. your third choice was just divine! Christian finally admitted it. I was sooooo relieved and happy. *sigh* I wonder when things like this could happen to me again.... Good choices, Roddie!

OOOOOOOHHHHH! I see i see. Cause I was like "What??? I missed an episode??? Can't be!" Ahahahha! They look so good together. It would be nice if they end up together in real life. Thanks Tihkon! -Cj.

Yeah, I have to agree. It's hard to pick your fave scene especially when almost all of them are soooooo intense and sooooooo nice. Ahahahha! Great choices though. Reading all the posts here make me reminisce. I wanna watch it again and again!

Hi
Another "newbie" here - have no idea how these icon thingies work but no doubt will get the hang of it (by next year) LOL
Fave moment - jeez that's so hard - I have so many - and all for different reasons.. in chronologicol order... The dream sequence where Christian responds to Olli's kiss - it's passionate (but not intense) but just a figment of his imagination - the subconscious awakening of love! The part (after Jana's death) where Christian is mean to Olli - as Olli leaves the room Christian calls after him "Olli" - he says it with such utter regret it completely chokes me (every time) Christian in the bathroom sitting in the foetal position after they'd first slept together - his portrayal of shock, fear & confusion was so pure it scared me (I've been there "kind of"). The "big" love scene - Olli touches Christian on the shoulder after he has admitted that he has fallen in love with him - Christian's reaction to that is the biggest moment for me in the whole story - even though the words are out, his body is still tense, he still hasn't physically "let go", his instincts are still fighting - it takes the physical touch from Olli (the man he has fallen in love with) to release the emotion - you can see it flow from his body with heartstopping intensity- he has succumbed to his love, his need & his desire. For me - the pivotal moment in the whole story - the fight is over, the committment is made. The moment where Christian has confessed all to Judith and kisses Olli openly - the look he gives Olli before this and Olli's questioning look in reply - god that just makes balloons burst in my head!!
It would appear that most of my "fave" moments center around Christian and "his" story which probably says more about me than I'd like it too - but in their love story we all see it through our own eyes and interpret it from our own life experiences.
For me, the hook of this story (okay and probably the fantasy of it) is the fact that Christian's "awakening" is born out of falling in love - and of being loved - by another man.
Okay - I think I've rambled on long enough for a first time post - no doubt it will amuse some and be ignored by others - but hey - it's a big wide world. thanx for reading...

hey sheepiefarm! Welcome to this thread! Very nice choices. Apparently, a lot of people in this thread also think that Christian's shock. I like how he shook like it was real. Jo and Thore are great actors. I must agree with you on Christian's "awakening" that was born out of love for Olli. I remember when Christian was so set out on going to Goa with Coco but overheard Olli getting lost without him. It was just so sweet - you could see that he couldn't really keep away from Olli or stand the thought that his actions could actually cause Olli's ruin. Call it conscience or compassion, but he still chose Olli over Coco *evil laugh* Wahahhahahha! I just think it's really sweet. Good insights, sheepiefarm. Enjoy your stay here and we'll see you around.

I have to say that over the last 6-7mths, there have been so many moments that have made me smile, made me laugh and made me cry. If I was to list them all, we would all be here all night.
Those that I think deserve particular mention (and apologies if they are repeats) are when Olli is outside Christian's door refusing to leave (after the fight at the nightclub) until Christian has spoken to him and you can just see him through the glass. When Christian unlocks the door, you can see that it is at that moment, when he turns the latch, that he has finally made a decision and he is going to tell Olli how he feels...
I also like how Olli (well Jo) manages to convey those inner emotions - looks of pure hurt when Christian has snubbed him, but then sheer joy when things start to go well between them. Perfect examples being when Christian hears Olli and Olivia discussing Gast84 and goes mad at Olli, but then on the flipside the exchanged looks at the dinner with Judith, Fabian, etc... And finally I really like how they are settling in to being a couple together. The playfulness and the fact that they seem so in love, watching them reminds me of the first few months of my relationship and it makes me feel all warm inside (barf - I know!!) to watch them. Has also reminded me that you have to put the fun into your relationship to get the best times out and I am happier than ever with my other half now I've remembered this.
Well that ended up being a lot deeper than I intended, so on that light note, I think I'll end there... xx

I love every scene Olli and Christian are in, but right now my new favorite moment is when Olli and Christian and making out on the couch and Christian seems so mad/annoyed when Judith came it, I just thought that was really cute. Or when Christian and Gregor are talking about sarah and stuff and then Olli comes and throws like a shirt or something at Christian and and then Christian just got all happy when he see's Olli. I love cute little moments like that
