Olli/Tom/Ulli - Triangle

[lolaruns]

The amazing ireneks has uploaded the clips from the Olli/Tom/Ulli triangle to youtube here.

Squeeee! I'm gonna watch them now!

Remember, our Oliver was dating Tom. Ulli was Tom's ex-boyfriend and great love who left him. Ulli came back for some business deal. He pretended not to want Tom. Tom pretended not to want Ulli. Ulli kept sticking around longer and longer and eventually admitted that he still loved Tom. Tom and Ulli had a torrid one night stand. Olli saw them say goodbye and cheated on Tom too. Drama! Tom eventually chose Olli over Ulli and Ulli left.

Reactions to clip 1:

1.) Oliver acts like a 5 year old. Is it just me or is Jo Weil a much better actor now than he was then
2.) It's still kinda cute though. Various people have said that the thing about Olli back then that he has no internal editor and just blurts out everything, love or hate, all very open.
3.) Goooooooooooo! Aunt Charlie warning Ulli off Tom.
4.) OMG is that Mischa from Marienhof sitting on the table with them? ;D

I read the summaries on the Andi Royale homepage and it had the funniest descriptions of particularly Tom's facial expressions, I'll be looking out for them.

Lola - Thanks for posting the link. I'm definitely going to check out those clips.

Okay, I realize I'm comitting sacrilege here, but... I sorta don't see it. There were some neat scenes, the love scene was much appreciated of course and the goodbye kiss after that that is witnessed by Olli and the scene in the bathtub with the ravioli.

But in their casual scenes? I'm kinda not seeing this great longing or attraction or whatever.

That said, the guy playing Ulli really does know how to cry. For most of the clips I kept thinking that he came across like a stuck up twit. I didn't really start feeling for him till the scene in the end where he starts crying.

There kinda seemd to be a strange attitude towards kissing. Just generally very little. They did delivered full force in the scenes where it was important, but other than that it felt like there wasn't a lot, particularly between Olli and Tom.

I did laugh a lot at the scene where Olli and Jule are in bet after their one night stand and not only do both of them look extremely awkward, when Olli gets up you can see that he was wearing his boxers in bed. So he slept with Jule and them immediately slipped his boxers back on under the covers?

Generally, Olli got pretty much most of my laughs. Intentional and often unintentional

I did like how the scene where both confess their infidelities to each other. Very tense even though there was no violence and little freaking out. Interesting because it was such a contrast to how Olli would freak out even over tiny things early in the storyline.

Gotta say, it seems like VL got a lot better over the years. Particularly the music was really bad in some of the earlier clips. Too loud and didn't really fit the mood.

Jo definitely has grown as an actor since his first stint. Some of his mannerism are a bit overplayed.

I've already watched them, but just had to watch one of these vids again to see little Olli. What a cutie-pie! And I noticed that on the ep where Olli and Tom become a couple, the guy at Schneiders who offers them coffee, is Alexander (Lenny's dad) from GZSZ. Small world.

Yeah I saw those vids - interesting ones .... Clarissa von Anstetten, Franziska von Beyenbach, Nina Ryan (the lesbian daughter of Elisabeth von Lahnstein), Jule Roth, Tom Seifert, Ulli Prozeski, Christian Toppe, etc - that Oliver Sabel hung out with in the old times (1999 to 2002).

Then we got Coco Faber, Olivia, Lars, Christian, Gregor, Judith Hagendorf, all of the Lahnsteins (including Nico), Stella, etc - that Olli hung out in the new times (2007 to now).

The only ones with Olli from both old and new times are Charlie, Tanja, Arno and Andi, I think.
