This is so great! Will there be more? If yes, when?

I believe there's a poll thread in the forum sections. I think you can only do polls over there. Thank you. Ummmm, if that's the only option, maybe I'll pass. I'm sorta shy and while I've gotten to know some of you here, on this thread, and you made me feel more comfy here, I'm not liking the idea of posting on a more "central" thread, if that makes sense. Karina, glad you're enjoying it! Yes, there'll be more. I'm working on editing the next clip, but since I'm doing it in the few spare moments I have before and/or after work (not to mention the fact that the editing software keeps crashing - damn these free downloadables - and since I'm also trying to keep up with comments on YouTube and here), it's progressing a bit slowly. Still, I don't wanna leave you all without anything new, so I might try and post tomorrow before work an interview with actor Offer Shechter (who plays Harel). Some said they liked him, so that's one reason I wanna post it, but also, I simply loved the way he handled some of the questions and I wish more actors playing gay roles would respond as he has.

Thanks, Matan4il! Can you tell we're anxious for the next clip? While trying to wait very patiently?
Thanks again for posting this; I'm really enjoying their story!

matan4il: Thanks for working on the new clip plus the interview. I love Ofer!! He's so adorable. Love his eyes. So mesmerising!! From the looks like what you've said, he is most prob straight. Darn!! Not that I would ever have a chance with him or something. Some actors really know how to tantalize us with their convincing acting as gays. But all in all, glad to know (through inference of your post) that he feels alright portraying as a gay male. I'm constantly checking out my youtube page just to check if there's a new clip on them! Currently, I dare to say no show has a better storyline than them (I've got bored with Ollian with their storyline due to the messy/unnecessary plots intercepting theirs sorry to say that). I hope this storyline won't end up like theirs, but I don't think so as this is not a soap rite? So most prob they will be having their own storyline. Okie dokie. And by the way, hope your grandma is doing well and of course you are coping well with your uni and work!! Thanks again for taking time off for doing all this wonderful work! And also I've managed to stumble upon a website on how to encode subtitles into the video file. It's quite simple but yet tedious though due to the aligning the subtitles according to the time. Here's the link to subtitling tutorial for u: lx.divxstation.com/article.asp?aId=100But you must do a soft copy of the subtitles first if I'm not wrong.

'k, so the interview is up and whoa, was it fun uploading without having to go through the whole editing process. Whoever's curious about Offer, I hope you enjoy it! I did. Dorothy, I can, which is why I feel so bad about being so slow with the editing! But I'm doing my best and the next clip should be ready soon. Awww, I'm really happy you're enjoying it! Nothing to thank me for... Harmonium, I was thinking specifically of you when I decided to upload and translate the interview. I hope you'll like it. As for Offer's sexual orientation, if he's gay, he's certainly not open about it. However, the following is my fave pic of Offer and it was taken with a guy he co-hosted a show with, Assi Ezer, who is openly gay. So for the sake of fantasy... Oh, don't give up on Ollian! They'll be back soon and then I hope they'll have their own storyline. But yeah, I know what you mean about it being annoying, having to watch some other characters in the meanwhile. Thank you so much, bb. We're waiting for word on whether her cancer is malignant. Trying to stay optimistic. Thanks for the link. I've actually become fond of the little arrows that can help clarify who's speaking in certain scenes, but I'll try to have a look at it after I've uploaded the next clip and see if it has a solution for my subtitling woes.

matan4il ;D I love the interview. And thanks for the pic. It's all in the mind, isn't it. Hehehe. He's totally my type of guy (in terms of look wise), smiley and cheerful-looking. He has a pair of expressive eye-brows, hasn't he? He's so cute when he makes all the weird expressions with his eye-brows. OKIE DOKIE, enough of my drooling. Hehehe. Actually the subtitling is perfect, but once I downloaded the clips, there are no subtitles, then I'll have to based on my memory what's the conversations are all about. Hehehe. So I'm wondering if there's any way I can get a soft copy of the subtitles (with all the timings given), then I'll try to encode them on myself for future viewing pleasure and references. And of course, if anyone wants the encoded subtitles, I can try to upload them online to download. *Fingers crossed* for your grandma, hopefully something good will turn out of it.

OMG, if I were diabetic, I would've fallen into a coma already with watching the interview~

I love the interview, too. He's very charming and seems to have a great attitude about the work.
P.S. Don't feel bad about how long it takes to edit the clips -- we're just happy you're willing to do it!

New clip up: Thanks for the NEW CLIP!! Finally. Hehehe. Harel is so cute in a weird way in that wedding gown. And I totally love how Harel spelt it out for Amir regarding the issues of moving into his house. That's what I called a honest lover, saying what you feel and not hide it because you are afraid your other half may not like it. And maybe Amir is a 'slower' guy, he needs things to be outrightly told to him I supposed. And also, it's nice for Amir to let Harel know that he has reservations in letting him stay with him. But I'm glad things work out eventually. Amir and Harel staying together, YAY!! And Amir cheekily pull down the sleeve to reveal Harel's nipple (I'm so embarrassed to say this), it's hilarious. But the last scene got me a little wary. I wonder if any trouble is brewing and I hope it is nothing major seeing that they just sorted out Amir's 'outing' issues. Gosh.. We need the new clip real soon. Hahhaa. *Sorry for the replicated message over here* matan4il Thanks again for this!!

Our lovers, Amir and Harel discuss co-habitation, the price of standing still and Amir resists the urge to rip Harel's bodice.

Thanks, matan4il! The "chat" at the end has me a little concerned... But the conversation about moving in was sweet!

Thank you Matan4il! I enjoy watching this couple very much. There's lots of chemistry between them, especially in this scene. Who would've thought Harel would look so hot in a wedding dress? I'm also a little concerned about the "Chat" at the end there. I'm anxious to see how this turns out.

Harmonium, I'm glad to hear that you do! And yes, it is all in the mind, which makes it all the more fun. No one can limit you there, bb. And you can feel free to drool over Offer. I know you're far from being the only one to do so. You're too sweet. *hug* I'm glad the subtitling is working for you, at least online. I'm leaving for work after I post this, so I don't have time for this today, but I will check YouTube's annotations system to see if I can retrieve the times, etc. Thank you, hon. If nothing goes wrong, we should know today. *tries not to think about it too much* Lucrece, I LOLed at the comment about the interview. And I'm glad to see that Harel now has his own personal guard to defend him, in case Amir steps out of line. Dorothy, isn't he just adorable? And I wish more actors playing gay roles would give such interviews. It's a huge turn-off to me to see someone portray a gay character well, only to hear them sh!tting themselves over it in an interview. And thank you for the reassurance, hon. You're too kind, honest. But I'm glad you are. *hug* And wasn't the conversation sweet? I loved the mutualness they had going there. The chat... argh. We'll have to wait and see about that one. Seven14, happy you liked the interview! And I'm appreciative of Darcolover55 as well, for linking me to this board. And I'm so happy that I can provide you with some extra bits like the interview and the pics, as you guys are so great! *lol* Of course Niv is the better kisser! *g* Although I wouldn't mind it if he and Yehuda battled it out and kissed Offer right off his feet while doing so. Thank you for your kind words, hon. I'm doing my best. And it helps to come here and find such a supportive attitude! *hug* That's a good lesson to take from that clip. I think I could learn from it as well... Aussie54, your icon! *flails with the John and Scott love* Has to be one of my fave pics of one of my fave RL same-sex couples. *melts* And yes, Harel looks surprisingly good in a wedding dress. I bet Amir did all sorts of naughty things to him after he got him out of it... I'll do my best to have the next part up as soon as possible, to see where the suspense of the whole chat is leading us to.

omg omg omg matan4il: this show is amahhhhhhzing! thanks so much for subbing and everything (i'm assuming you're the one putting in all the hard work.) i just watched it all the way through and ...wow. *fans self* quite the chemistry going on. i'm hooked! i miss my ollian right now and i'll always love 'em, but these guys kind of put them to shame (writing/plot-wise). this is pretty much everything i've ever wished C&O could be: i mean, cute slow dancing? check. naked in the bathtub? check. public hand-holding? check. and these guys are DREAMY. Harel sort of reminds me of John Paul in the face, but he seems a lot less whiny and immature. *ducks*. anyways. keep up the good work! i love love love this! how often are these guys on the tv? what's the format of this show? are you all caught up with clips at this point?

matan4il, thank you so much for translating and posting these videos! This storyline has been quite entertaining so far. Does anyone know if there is a way to download YouTube videos with the annotations intact? I tried downloading these videos, but the translations didn't come through with them--and, sadly, I don't speak Hebrew. (I'm not a technical person, but I deduce from Harmonium's comments above that I'm not alone in having this problem, and that there may not be a way around it short of adding the subtitles right into the video...?) I'd love to have videos complete with translations...

Viga2430, it's my pleasure and I'm glad you're enjoying the storyline! Karina, I feel you have a theory going on there... Care to share? Well, even if you don't feel like it, I hope you can put it to the test soon. I'm trying a new free editing tool, so if all goes well, I should have the next part up soon. And it's entirely my pleasure. Iclickmyheels, I'm glad you're liking it! It's my pleasure and it's very much worth it if people are enjoying the show so much. And I agree, I love that the charecters are so unashamedly together... *lol* Well, I've never seen the John Paul storyline (I do plan to catch up at some point), but I have seen pics, so I get what you mean about them looking a bit alike. The show is one episode per week, it's a family drama in essence and nope, we're not caught up yet, but we will be very, very soon (I say we because I haven't been watching it on TV, but rather I've done so as I've been editing the episodes for the relevant clips). Gaysoapfan, I'm glad you're enjoying it! And as for the subtitled clips, I've spoken with a friend of mine and he said he may be able to come have a look at my subtitling program tomorrow, see if he can fix it for me. If everything goes well, it will take me a while, but I will upload all the clips we've had so far with hard-coded subtitles to a file sharing site and post the links here.

It's just that, usually when things like these happen in a TV-series it's just a decoy; they show us something to make us think the worst, throw us off their scent and then it turns out to be the exact opposite of the bad thing we're thinking will happen. Of course, I may be wrong, in fact, I probably am, but I'm willing to bet some (Monopoly) money that Amir is planning something other than cheating

karina Unless Amir is trying to do a threesome or something. Or maybe he is trying to broaden his gay social circle since he just sorta 'out' himself. And you are kinda right that the writers are trying to make us think of the worst case scenario, but in the end, it turned out to be the exact opposite. But I can't stand to see my Harel to get hurt. He's such a wonderful guy, not to mention cute by the way. matan4il Oooh. Thanks for working out on the hardsub issues. It is sure wonderful to have the clips with all the subs in them. But hopefully it won't be very troublesome for you seeing you have alot of issues to deal with right now. Take care ok?

Karina, *lol* Well, betting Monopoly money is one of my favorite things to do. I'm in the process of trying to upload the next clip. If all goes well, you should have the next installment in a short while, with at least some partial answers... Harmonium, I don't wanna see Harel getting hurt either. I've come to love him so. And you're too kind, don't worry. I will take care of myself and hopefully, I'll also manage to resolve the whole subtitles issue with my friend's help. *crosses fingers* Everyone, I apologize about the subtitles for clip #9 and I'll keep trying, but I may have to leave for work before the YouTube annotations server is back up. Since I'm supposed to meet my friend right after work, I may be able to add a hard-coded subs file instead when I'm back. Again, sorry and hope you're all having a lovely day!

matan4il Thanks for the new clip! And darn, youtube for its problem. Haha. But what I am pissed the most is Amir!! What the hell!!! I wanna hit him with a SPANNER!!! My poor baby, Harel. I definitely can't stand people having hook-ups when they are in a relationship and if I'm not wrong, they aren't exactly in an open-relationship rite? I can sense some drama coming up and I hope it's a good one. Maybe have a suitor for Harel and make Amir jealous. That would knock some sense into him. Can't wait for the next clip. I wonder if Harel is gonna catch Amir red-handed if he's gonna have more ONS. Darn it.
