 "Christian fantasizes about what those hands will do to him later" **** I loved that kiss.. So subtle but hot.. I also love how Christian looks towards his shoulder when Olli touches it. |

I like the scene at the end. Christian trying hard to make a brave face, but not quite managing to do it.

Yeah, a tough situation. He and Olli are going to have to find a way to neutralize the threat from Olivia, asap. I can't believe Christian didn't go off on her just for making the threat. I would have heh.

I think she may have realised it wasn't that bad with Lars. He shouted a bit and that was it. So she may shut up and came to scare them both just for the fun of it. Adrian could be a bigger threat for her and Olli though. All the planning and getting shot for nothing, he may get upset about that.

I think the bigger problem is that he has no money. Last time he had no money he abducted a child. Now he again has no money because Olivia burnt it all.

I have no idea where this is going, but I learnt that things like that happen for a reason in soaps. He may lost the money, but he can still want to make clear to Olivia not to screw with him ever again.

Christian was so very - absolutely - adorable today, caring for "little sister" Judith's problems (as if he had none of his own ...), telling Oli he would have done just the same in his place, trying to be supportive and reassuring to Oli (probably to himself as well  ). P.S Just for the record: Christian, of course, is ALWAYS absolutely adorable Re Shirt watch: I just love (dark) blue and black  |

So sweet!! They're adorable and I find Oliver really handsome above all when he wears his work clothes XD
Thanks Ivan as always.

Thanks for getting this up Ivan!
The funny thing is that Olivia seemed more worried about how Lars would react than how Adrian would. Lars, however, is far less likely to cause her actual bodily harm. It seems a little odd to me the way Olivia tends to drift towards truly dangerous people like Tanja and Adrian. Is she like a remora trying to find a shark to ride around on? Duh, stupid question! Forget I asked!
Christian understands taking a stand on principle, so I didn't really expect him to be angry with Olli (Olivia on the hand...) for the situation. But wasn't it just sooooooo cute the way Olli nervously went snuggling up to Christian on the couch? And Christian with reassuring little kiss.

Yes, it's not just Oliver being there for Christian's boxing dramas, it works the other way too  |

Loved the couch snuggle/kiss. So sweet. I also liked the scene where Christian is once again the sounding board for Judith. She was valiantly holding it in. It wasn't until he prompted her that the dam burst. It was a good way of keeping their dynamic (i.e. Christian as sounding board for Judith) while still tweaking the scenario. Christian going into it knowing full well what he is getting. That deep breath and bracing himself and yet still choosing to become involved. I think it shows how much C cares for J as a friend, she needs someone so he is there for her, and that despite his exasperation he chooses to fulfill the role. I like how it shows that he is not just a put-upon bystander but an active participant, and that she is capable of restraining herself when she so chooses. That was my long winded way of saying they reversed it, but not really.  I also liked how it seemed (to me) that Olivia's threat of blackmail (while admittedly awful) was born more out of defensiveness/desperation/a desire to protect herself than malice or forethought. IMO it makes a difference. Of course, I judge Olivia on a soap villain scale of morality instead of a normal person scale so YMMV. Purely shallow note: I love Thore in green. |

I really like that when Christian says the he would have done the same thing you KNOW it's true. Not just because he wants to cheer Olli up because it really IS what Mr. Honesty Christian would have done. (though he probably would have been a lot less nice to Olivia in the process)

I like the scene at the end. Christian trying hard to make a brave face, but not quite managing to do it. I like that scene too. Christian was being a good boyfriend, trying to keep a brave face and reassure Olli… he didn’t quite succeed, but looked cute trying. I enjoyed seeing Christian being the one to support and comfort Olli after all those times we’ve seen Olli being there for his man. Really sweet! And that scene on the sofa is just so very… aaaaawwww!! |

Yes, it's not just Oliver being there for Christian's boxing dramas, it works the other way too Well, one of the big problems with the boxing drama has been that Christian wants to be able to show Olli how much he loves him and is held back in public. But especially yesterday and today we see how Christian wants to support Olli as much as Olli supports him. He's not happy about Olivia's behavior but he doesn't blame Olli for it. *SQUEE* It was just so cute how Olli approached, unsure, and Christian put his arm around him and gave him that little "yes, I love you" kiss. |

Like I said in another thread, VL should come with a warning… if C&O get any more adorable than they’ve been this week, I don’t think I’m going to survive!! |

I have to say, I could go for a storyline where Ollian get mixed up with Adrian. Because I kinda adore Adrian (I find him more more interesting than Tanja for one).
Plus, I'll never get sick of the countless scens where he just leaps off the bed and lunges after Olivia and she just steps back and he can't reach her. It seems that every other episode has this scene ;D

Well, I have a thing for older men. ;D Plus, he seeded Constantin so that's one point in his favor. Also, Tanja is just such a cartoon most of the time  |

But wasn't it just sooooooo cute the way Olli nervously went snuggling up to Christian on the couch? And Christian with reassuring little kiss. It's probably pretty dumb to underestimate Adrian but right at the moment he doesn' t look like a threat to me either. But of course you never know - once he is better ... . Still his face on learning Olivia had burnt the money was hilarious (have been waiting for that for some days now ;D). And he believed her right from the start - he never really assumed she was lying - just loved it ... . Sometimes they act like father and daughter. Christian wouldn't be angry with Oli for telling Lars but I would have thought he would be more angry with Olivia because of her blackmailing them again. He took it pretty calmly (on the surface at least) in a sort of fatalistic way ("So shortly before the fight the timing would be what you could call suboptimal" ;D). But then of course apart from trying to reassure Oli, Christian is very uncomfortable with staying in the closet anyway - just hates it, so he'll have mixed feelings about the whole business. Btw. unfortunately Oli is right, Olivia tends to be revengeful (now who would have thought so of lovely Olivia ;D), just remember when Olivia thought that Charlie had told Andi she wasn't pregnant: She went for revenge by turning up at he christening of little baby Sophia telling everyone that Charlie had talked a former girlfriend of Lars into abortion (which was the truth and led to Lars not speaking to Charlie for weeks.) And again just for the record and because this post might be misleading: haven't changed my opinion regarding Olivia - might do so of course once she starts killing people in cold blood. |
