[lucrece]

Best Storyline: Christian and Olli's Axel storyline.

Worst Storyline:ATWT's Ameera

Best Actor: Ofer Schechter (Til' The Wedding; he's so convincing as a gay man ;D)

Best Actress: Miriam Lahnstein (VL; Tanja FOREVAH!)

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: ATWT's entire cast.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Blanca (FoQ)

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Judith! Make HER go on vacation. And take Lydia with her.

Best Friendship: Fer, Cova, and Julio triangle

Worst Friendship: Axel's "friendship" with Christian pre-coming out.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: To cart Judith off with Constantin.

Best Chemistry: Amir and Harel (Till The Wedding)

Biggest WTF? Moment: This entire season of not having Olli in VL.

Best Song Moment: Sunday Morning- Velvet Underground (When Amir dances with Harel to this song in Till The Wedding)

Worst Song Use: Breath Me- Sia (If I hear this song in VL one more time, I will personally erase Sia from existence, so no more songs of her will be repeated ad nauseam in the show).

Best Storyline Twist: FoQ's Gorka/Fer interaction.

Worst Storyline Twist: Clara Sheller's triangle on the first season.

Best New Character: Brad (Clara Sheller; he is crazy beyond the point of no return)

Worst New Character: N/A

Best Line/Dialogue: "Wanna hear something crazy? Sometimes I wish I were like you: old." (Brad to JP, Clara Sheller show)

Worst Line/Dialogue: Every boyfriend rant Lydia and Judith splurt.

Most Shocking Moment: Olli's gay bashing (I love you, Olli D; )

Least Shocking Moment: Constantin's leaving (he sucked).

Favorite Kiss: Arthur/Merlin Amir and Harel. All of them.

Most Enjoyable Show: Right now? Till The Wedding. Clara Sheller is close.

Most Disappointing Show: Brothers and Sisters. The dialogue has always been so trite.



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers): Amir and Harel fuck all over the house ala "I'm fucking Matt Damon". Not really (well, slightly so). I just want the cute moments between the pairs to last forevah. Arthur really needs to bugger Merlin, though. To hell with the children.

[Difficult Diva]

Best Storyline:

Ollian Storyline from VL.

Worst Storyline:

NUKE Storyline from ATWT.

Best Actor:

Van Hansis from ATWT.

Best Actress:

The actress who plays "Judith" from VL.

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons:

It pains me to say this, but Jake S. from ATWT.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags):

Judith from VL - I adore her character. I think she reminds me of Maddie (Alexandra C. from ATWT).

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags):

Kris Fisher from HO.

Best Friendship:

Judith and her friendship with Ollian from VL.

Worst Friendship:

Deniz and Vanessa from AWZ.

Biggest Missed Opportunity:

The resolution of the so-called "Sunset Ending" from HO.

Best Chemistry:

James Sutton and Jake Hendriks from HO.

Biggest WTF? Moment:

When TPTB at HO, had James and Jake have a 3 week 'vacation' right before Guy Burnet's return to HO as Craig Dean, which also included the characters of John-Paul and Kieron having "issues", which happened during the time of those characters being OFF THE SCREEN. A month before, they were celebrating their engagement, then during the same week that Craig Dean returns to Chester, John-Paul has "cold feet" about his engagement with Kieron Hobbs. An engagement, in which JP was the one who ASKED Kieron to marry him.

Very WTF indeed.

Best Song Moment:

The Sia "Breathe Me" ULTIMATE moment between Ollian on April 4th, 2008. LOVED that scene.

Worst Song Use:

That stupid song used for the so-called Sunset Ending.

Best Storyline Twist:

N/A

Worst Storyline Twist:

Having Vanessa pursue a romantic relationship with Deniz, after KNOWING that he was still 'confused' about his feelings for Roman, during the time that he as INVOLVED with Roman. STUPID.

Best New Character:

Pavel from Raw. I love his strength, naivety and determination to NOT be taken advantage or granted by Geoff.

Worst New Character:

Ravi from HO. "He's just greedy." Ugh.

Best Line/Dialogue:

Kieron saying "You mean everything to me." to John-Paul from HO.

Worst Best Line/Dialogue:

N/A

Most Shocking Moment:
John-Paul not being able to actually MOURN for his ex-fiance, Kieron Hobbs, before he was able to go off on his so-called "Sunset Ending" with his ex, Craig Dean, without having ANY conversation about why their relationship ended in September 2007. I will NEVER understand why TPTB felt the need to have that ending happen during the time frame of Kieron Hobbs' death. I will never understand it.

Least Shocking Moment:

Seeing Noah and Luke break up AGAIN in September 2008.

Favorite Kiss:

The Sia "Breathe Me" kiss between Oliver and Christian on April 4th, 2008.

Most Enjoyable Show:

Verbotene Liebe

Most Disappointing Show:

As The World Turns

What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

I would like to see more drama develop between Oliver and Christian from VL (if that means that ONE of them ends up cheating, screwing up or making mistakes in their relationship, I'm willing to deal with it IF it makes sense). I just think that their pairing can deal with the ups and downs that happen in the soap opera world.

IF TPTB can have FAITH in Jake S., hopefully they'll flesh out his character more and NOT have him come across as a complete FLAKE in 2009, during his involvement with Luke Synder in 2009. I don't want to think or feel that Noah Mayer is the "deadweight" to the NUKE storyline anymore. I just don't want to feel that way anymore.

[Bonobochick]

Best Storyline: VL February til June with the beginning of Christian & Olli to Gregor finding out.


Worst Storyline: Alles Was Zählt's Deniz/Vanessa and any nuclear waste related to it (IT MODEL! KILLER VIRUS! VOODOO! COCAINE ATTACK!)


Best Actor: Dennis Grabosch (AWZ's Roman)


Best Actress: Kristina Dörfer (VL's Olivia)


Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: VL's Rebecca.


Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): VL's Gregor


Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): VL's Lydia


Best Friendship: AWZ's Roman & Ingo


Worst Friendship: ATWT's Ameera, Noah & Luke.


Biggest Missed Opportunity: ATWT's Noah's MIA instead of TPTB developing the character. Shameful and inexplicable.


Best Chemistry: AWZ's DeRo. It's like an addiction I can't break. It's why I think TPTB won't let the characters have a scene together since the last fallout. It's just too obvious and makes all other pairings [for Deniz] look like drying paint in comparison.


Biggest WTF? Moment: Hollyoaks' Jacqui slapping John Paul for wanting to attend Kieron's funeral instead of walking Carmel down the aisle. Seriously, WTF was that?


Best Song Moment: Tie... "Breathe Me" for VL's Christian/Olli and "Ich Zieh Mich Vor Dir Aus" for AWZ's DeRo. Both fit very well in the scenes they were used in.


Worst Song Use: Sia's "Breathe Me" for AWZ's Nina/Marian. Ick.


Best Storyline Twist: VL's Gregor having no problem with Christian being with Olli & only being mad that Christian didn't tell him. It was refreshing to not have an obligatory older brother homophobia storyline.


Worst Storyline Twist: ATWT's Noah marries Ameera to keep her in the country due to 'no other choice' to help her not go back to Iraq, then a few months later she easily moves to Los Angeles to live with friends of her dead mother's after getting the marriage annulled. Ugh.


Best New Character: VL's Judith.


Worst New Character: VL's David.


Best Line/Dialogue: VL's Olivia telling Olli to 'Get the bacon!'.


Worst Best Line/Dialogue: Hollyoaks Myra and her vacillating to the point of whiplash advice to John Paul after Kieron's death.


Most Shocking Moment: ATWT's third Noah & Luke kiss because it was the first after the 8 month drought and not in any spoilers.


Least Shocking Moment: Hollyoaks wit Kieron's death because TMFIC leaked the spoiler long before it ever happened onscreen.


Favorite Kiss: AWZ's DeRo when Roman was nervous before the skating championships.


Most Enjoyable Show: This varies depending on storyline. Right now I am enjoying ATWT the most but VL was more enjoyable for most of the year (til about 2 months ago, IMO).


Most Disappointing Show: Hollyoaks. The return of Craig and the demise of John Paul/Kieron was terribly written. Those two weeks were utterly perplexing, aggravating and ghastly executed. For a show that wrote a great love story with McDean and a compelling relationship between John Paul & Kieron, it was beyond disappointing.


What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

VL: Interesting drama for Christian & Olli, maybe something that pulls them apart for a while before they work their way back to each other, with a side of Olivia/Sebastian love.


ATWT: The character of Noah to be fleshed out. He used to have layers and now he doesn't. And let the guys have a realistic love relationship. Not only do Noah & Luke deserve that, so do their fans. Let Casey & Emily get together again.


AWZ: Let Deniz grow the hell up already! And give Roman a viable love interest & give him at least one scene where he tells of Annette & Mike. As much as I love DeRo together, I can't stand Deniz right now so until TPTB stop writing the character as borderline retarded, I don't want him with Roman cause Roman deserves better.

Pawel/Geoff-Geoff is an arrogant prick and I hope that doesn't change. But I'd like to see the two back on TV, maybe with Pawel building on the spine he's developing.

[caitlinp]

Best Storyline: John Paul and Kieron falling in love on Hollyoaks.
The Max and Iago story on El Cor.

Worst Storyline: The rushed sunset ending on Hollyoaks, and the character assassinations that took place after the three week black hole on Hollyoaks.
Roman having sex with Deniz, while Deniz was on drugs. - AWZ

Best Actor: James Sutton - John Paul Hollyoaks

Best Actress: The actress who plays Olivia from VL.

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: I hate to say this, but Jake Silbermann. Even though I blame the writing and directing more than I blame him.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Olivia, VL

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): None

Best Friendship: Christian's friendship with his brother Gregor on VL.
Ollivia and Olli's friendship on VL.

Worst Friendship: None

Biggest Missed Opportunity: The Hollyoaks writers for not letting John Paul mourn Kieron, and for not showing John Paul and Craig dealing with the problems that they had last year. And Hollyoaks for not showing John Paul confronting Niall over killing Kieron.

Best Chemistry: Christian and Olli, VL

Biggest WTF? Moment: Hollyoaks for not making Kieron's death a bigger and more important part of the Niall reveal.

The whole Ameera storyline, which not only left me confused, but probably did the same thing to the ATWT writers.

Best Song Moment: Breathe Me, April 4th Episode of VL
My Skin - Hollyoaks, it plays while Kieron is praying.

Worst Song Use: None

Best Storyline Twist: The drama that the ATWT writers are building up between Luke and Brian. It's actually interesting and well written (so far), which is shocking.

Worst Storyline Twist: John Paul suddenly regressing back to the spoiled child that he was in 2007, during September on Hollyoaks.
Max just suddenly deciding to go to Africa - There was absolutely no build-up.

Best New Character: Kieron - Hollyoaks. Too bad they pretty much wasted the character, at the end.
Brian - ATWT. Yes, ATWT will probably drop the ball on this storyline, and my rooting interest in the storyline is a little muted due to the fact that the writers are wasting an opportunity by not giving Noah a bigger role in what happens, and because I know that there are some areas that the ATWT writers are not brave enough to go.

Worst New Character: Brad - Clara Sheller

Best Line/Dialogue: John Paul: "Do I mean that little to you?" Kieron: "You mean everything to me, that's why I'm here."
Kieron begging Niall not to hurt "my John Paul."

Worst Best Line/Dialogue: Pretty much anything to come from the ATWT writers all year long. Especially, the scenes that ended the whole Ameera arc.

Most Shocking Moment: Max suddenly leaving Iago, so that he could go work in Africa- El Cor.

Least Shocking Moment: John Paul leaving with Craig - Hollyoaks.
Niall dying during Hollyoaks Later.

Favorite Kiss: Christian and Oliver, the April 4th Episode
Christian and Olli in the boxing ring
John Paul and Kieron's first kiss.
Deniz and Roman after Roman cared for Deniz after their encounter with Bule.
Most of the Max and Iago kisses. I can't pick just one.
Giles and JP's first kiss - Clara Sheller

Most Enjoyable Show: Hollyoaks, before September. And El Cor before Max left.
Clara Sheller

Most Disappointing Show: Hollyoaks after September.



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):ATWT writing/directing will get better.
Max will come back to El Cor, or Iago will get another boyfriend.
Exciting storylines for Christian and Olli, and Carla on VL
Roman will get a boyfriend on AWZ

Most Enjoyable Show: VL

What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

I want some good quality time for Olli and Christian with a little bit of drama for a while. They are such a great couple I think they can get a lot out of them before things turn ugly!

I am very interested in Luke and Noah getting back together and gettin' it on! They are both too sweet for their own good sometimes, sigh.

I think Roman should get a new love interest for a while. Deniz can grow up a little and then they should get back together!

[brownsugar]

Best Storyline: Olli and Christian storyline of VL

Worst Storyline: ATWT Luke and Noah

Best Actor: Jo and Thore for making it seem so real. Just terrific performances.

Best Actress: Rachel Griffths of B&S

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: Van Hansis as Luke from ATWT. Too much over acting and chewing of the scenery. He just doesn't come off as natural, but instead seems to be trying too hard.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Gregor's support of his brother Christian and boyfriend Olli's relationship.

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): none

Best Friendship: Olli and Olivia

Worst Friendship: Axel forcing his friendship upon Christian before the coming out scene.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: Making Luke and Noah into the most unbelievable couple on TV. No kissing for months on end with countless interruptions just before a lip lock. Over and year and counting with still no intimacy/sex involving a bed, the kitchen table the back of a car or even against some wall. Not even when they were in New York alone together did they think of staying in a cheap motel.

Best Chemistry: Olli and Christian. Just incredible chemistry between these two lovebirds.

Biggest WTF? Moment: Ameera marrying Noah and Brian kissing a drunk Luke.

Best Song Moment: Sia from the 4/4/08 Olli and Christian confession episode. That stands out to me as one of the most romantic moments ever put on screen.

Worst Song Use: None

Best Storyline Twist: Olli getting beat up by Axel.

Worst Storyline Twist: 50 plus year old Brian kissing, groping and now confessing his attraction to 19 year old borderline alcoholic Luke.

Best New Character: N/A

Worst New Character: Ameera (ATWT) David (VL)

Best Line/Dialogue: The April 4th episode when Olli is pleading for Christian to let him into the bedroom and then the subsequent confession of love from Christian. The night at Nolimits when Christian tells Olli he wants to dance with him at that very moment because he makes him feel so happy and loved. Then they go for a run and Christian is looking up at the sky as he tells Olli again he feels so happy. It's the night Wolli catches them hugging.

Worst Best Line/Dialogue: Judith's continual whining and confusion about her man troubles to Olli and/or Christian.

Most Shocking Moment: Luke and Noah are finally alone in that big empty farm house, but instead of taking advantage of that big old bed they decide to jump up and down on it. Brian kissing Luke.

Least Shocking Moment: Father Kieron dying on HollyOaks.

Favorite Kiss: Any kiss that takes place between Olli and Christian, with my top ones being... The April 4th kisses, boxing ring kiss and the fierce kissing between them when Christian first sleeps with Olli to see if he's really attracted to him.

Most Enjoyable Show: VL

Most Disappointing Show: ATWT. Just a missed opportunity.


What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):
I really want to see the writers of VL focus more on Olli's dreams and ambitions. And lets have their relationship tested, just not with them sleeping with other men. They can have conflict and even break up, but let them not cheat. The strength of love for this on screen couple is too beautiful and rare to just have them go down the old cliched line of having one of them jump quickly into the bed of another person just because the relationship is on the rocks.

[sozment]

Before I even start, I might as well say "Brownsugar, I think you and I share a brain because we have the same answers on about everything".



Best Storyline: The entire falling in love of Christian and Olli. From the moment Olli falls in love with Christian until present day.

Worst Storyline: Vanessa and Deniz - Stupid and more stupid. I honestly couldn't bear to watch most of it. Not that I didn't believe that Deniz could love her, it was just how they wrote the story..stupid.

Best Actor: I refuse to choose. Both Jo and Thore. Jo is amazing on all levels from the beginning. And Thore has become sooo amazing. Yes, both are fantastic. ;D

Best Actress: Kristina Dorfer - Olivia on VL. She is awesome at playing the bad girl with the golden heart for her cousin, Olli. I love her.

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: - I agree with Brownsugar that sometimes Luke on ATWT could use a few..but then sometimes he is ok. But mostly, (I hate to say it) but I found the actress that played Rebecca on VL needing a bit of help.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): - Gregor on VL. He is simply wonderful in how he helps Christian and Olli. Always there for his little brother.

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags):- Any of those sorry sisters of John Paul. Good heavens, who needs sisters like those? Especially Jackie.

Best Friendship: - Olli and Olivia and Judith with Christian and Olli

Worst Friendship:- Sarah and John Paul. What a train wreck that was.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: - When Olli first came home from the hospital. Should have been more "making up", "taking care" of Olli time. Of course, that could just be me, wanting more love for my boys.

Best Chemistry: Guhhh....uh.... Christian and Olli, without a doubt!

Biggest WTF? Moment: when Christian looked at Olli after having sex the first time and said "I'm not into men..it was an experiment. WTF???

Best Song Moment: Add me to the list. Sia..April 4th... Christian and Olli - MOST ROMANTIC LOVE SCENE ever on television, any continent, anywhere!!!

Worst Song Use: Can't think of one.

Best Storyline Twist: - When Christian went after Axel with the bat. I loved Thore's acting in this entire scene. The look on his face was so conflicted. You could see the pain, the hurt, the anger, all the emotions all there. It was so amazing to watch. Then the bedside scene. Crying... wow.. Just amazing all the way around.

Worst Storyline Twist: - Kieron getting killed. Regretable. They could have given the actor a new storyline.

Best New Character: - not sure yet

Worst New Character:- so far, I'm not into "David" on VL

Best Line/Dialogue: - The entire dialogue when Olli is telling Christian to let him in...On April 4th and then Christian confesses that he has fallen in love with Olli. Sighhhh.....

Worst Best Line/Dialogue: - anything that came out of Axel's mouth... ughhhh....

Most Shocking Moment: - can't think of one

Least Shocking Moment: - Kieron getting killed. Mainly because everyone knew about it weeks ahead of time. I was a Craig fan, so I was happy he was coming back, but I didn't like that they killed him off. Stupid.

Favorite Kiss: Any Christian and Olli kiss. But I think my very very favorite one is the passionate one..right before they have sex the first time. All of those leading to falling on the bed.

Most Enjoyable Show: Always and Only Verbotene Liebe

Most Disappointing Show: ?? None are really disappointing



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

Just for Christian and Olli to stay together. Yes, I want them to have drama, but I will be SEVERLY disappointed if one of them cheats. ESPECIALLY Olli , after he spent all this time, SO IN LOVE with Christian. It will seem so wrong..so not true to character. I won't believe it and it will majorly disappoint me in the show and the writers.

What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs -no spoilers:

More OLLIAN!!!!

[matan4il]

Best Storyline: I love Til the Wedding's Amir and Harel. Generally, Israeli gay storylines have been keeping me very happy. I also adore Ollian on Verbotene Liebe and Kevin and Yann on Les Blues.

Worst Storyline: Everything on As the World Turns from the moment Ameera was brought in. Also, AWZ ruining the whole Roman and Deniz story.

Best Actor: Mmmmm, either Thore Sholermann as Christian, Offer Shechter as Harel or Oded Leopold in an Israeli storyline (from The Ran Quadruplet) that I am going to start posting after 'Til the Wedding. I really can't decide.

Best Actress: Probably Michal Yanay on that Israeli storyline I mentioned I would post. Favorite actress is Ayelet Robinson, who plays Ziona on 'Til the Wedding.

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: Oi, so many.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Harel's father in 'Til the Wedding. I have never loved an unaccepting father more, he's struggle between loving Harel and not knowing how to relate to him is heartbreaking.
Also quite fond of Constantin on Verbotene Liebe.

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Judith on Verbotene Liebe, precisely because I like her and yet I dread her on screen moments as well. There's so much I can eye roll at her infinite rants about boy trouble.

Best Friendship: Christian and Gregor on Verbotene Liebe.
Arthur and Merlin on Merlin, being so close, they're practically married.

Worst Friendship: Gwen on Torchwood. I don't know, I wouldn't want her as my friend, hearing all about the guy I'm shagging and have feelings for and then going and making googly eyes at him even though she's about to be married herself to someone else.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: AWZ ruining the Roman and Deniz fantastic chemistry.
Brothers and Sisters not showing us more on the relationship between the characters of Ron Rifkin (Uncle Saul) and Michael Nouri.

Best Chemistry: Ollian, Amir and Harel. <3<3<3

Biggest WTF? Moment: Yann breaking up with Kevin right after waking up from a coma and learning how devotedly Kevin stayed by his side that entire time.

Best Song Moment: The use of Sia's Breathe Me when Olli sees Christian in a towel and when they kiss, the use of Damien Rice's 9 Crimes for the Olli/Coco moments, the use of Snow Patrol's Open Your Eyes for one of Christian's panic moments and for his coming out in the rink.
EVERY SINGLE SONG used on The Ran Quadruplet. Perfectly emplyoed soundtrack.
The Velvet Underground's Sunday Morning use for Amir and Harel's dance on 'Til the Wedding.

Worst Song Use: Every instance of using either of the three songs from Verbotene Liebe outside the context I've mentioned above.

Best Storyline Twist: Amir eventually wanting Harel to move in with him despite being reluctant at first.
Andrew suddenly having a boyfriend on Desperate Housewives.

Worst Storyline Twist: The whole Brian thing on ATWT.
The way that the new writing team has handled Olli's departure and staying away on Verbotene Liebe.

Best New Character: They were all new to me before this year.

Worst New Character: Same.

Best Line/Dialogue: So much from 'Til the Wedding, but especially the mutuality showed in Amir and Harel's discussing the possibility of Harel moving in with Amir, and also the conversation between Harel and his father.
Christian's "I want to dance with you" speech on Verbotene Liebe.
Every single gay subtext line on Merlin. Especially in the finale, when Merlin tells Arthur that thing about "until the day I die..."!

Worst Line/Dialogue: Axel's lines on Verbotene Liebe.

Most Shocking Moment: Realizing Merlin really is that gay during the scene where Merlin is writhing in bed, moaning Arthur's name.

Least Shocking Moment: Noah and Luke still not getting it on. Thanks, ATWT.

Favorite Kiss: Every single one from Amir and Harel and from Ollian. The infamous DeRo one that involved lip licking.

Most Enjoyable Show: Merlin, 'Til the Wedding, Verbotene Liebe, Torchwood, Brothers and Sisters for bringing us Scotty and Kevin's wedding and an older gay character.

Most Disappointing Show: ATWT, AWZ.



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):
Merlin to come back sooner than expected.
'Til the Wedding to continue its wonderful depiction of a realistic gay couple.
The Ran Quadruplet to continue with their fantastic building up of the most complex, multi-layered gay character I remembered encountering.
Verbotene Liebe to not fuck up the Ollian storyline. Give them drama, but don't break them up, 'k? D:
AWZ to get Roman and Deniz back together.
AWTW to get a grip and let Noah and Luke get it on.
Torchwood to let us really get to know their gay couple, Jack and Ianto, rather than learn about them from references and sneeky peaks.
Les Bleus to let Kevin find his happiness.

[chole]

i would love to see ollian fanilly have sometime together without judith cry all the also ollian have first vact together

[jsg03jd]

My Choices are as follows:

Best Storyline: Christian and Oliver on VL from January to September 2008.

Worst Storyline: Anything related to Ameera Ali-Aziz on ATWT. Not only did this story stink, ATWT missed the boat on making an impact with the representation of the first Iraqi, Muslim woman on U.S. daytime. A hot mess all around.

Best Actor: Jake Hendriks on HOLLYOAKS. Hendriks's final scenes still get to me to this day.

Best Actress: Kristina Doerfer on VL. I'm in love with her.

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: Jake Silbermann on ATWT. His line readings and choices often make me scratch my head, and there's a concrete disparity in the levels of acting abilities between him and Van Hansis that, unfortunately, comes across onscreen.

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Olivia on VL hands down, blackmailing and all. At the end of the day, she would do anything for Oliver. I would tie her with Mercedes on HOLLYOAKS.

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Judith on VL. Make up your mind already and stop wasting Ollian's screen time! ;D

Best Friendship: Gregor and Christian on VL. I love the fact that not only are they brothers but they are also friends in the truest sense of the word.

Worst Friendship: Niall and Kieron on HOLLYOAKS. That's pretty self-explanatory.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: Retaining Jake Hendriks on HOLLYOAKS and having Kieron have a life of his own outside JP and Craig's orbit.

Best Chemistry: Hands down, Thore Schoelermann and Jo Weil as Christian and Olli on VL. Even the slightest gestures - a peck here, a blown kiss - show so much how these two actors have worked hard to make a believable pairing between Ollian.

Biggest WTF? Moment: Ameera Ali Aziz suddenly finding a family to adopt her in California on ATWT. Where was this family when she arrived? We could have all been spared months of garbage.

Best Song Moment: Sia's BREATHE ME on April 4, 2008 on VL for Ollian's lovemaking.

Worst Song Use: Rihanna's DON'T STOP THE MUSIC on ATWT when the college kids were teaching Ameera Ali Aziz how the teens in US "dance." Blecch.

Best Storyline Twist: Brian Wheatley falls for his stepgrandson, Luke, on ATWT. Laurence Lau and Van Hansis have just been terrific in their scenes together. This also injected a much needed vitality in the sagging Nuke storyline as well as starting very many heated debates on these characters thereby making NUKE relevant again.

Worst Storyline Twist: The deus ex machina of the Californian family who was ready to whisk away Ameera Ali Aziz from Oakdale on ATWT.

Best New Character: Kieron Hobbs on HOLLYOAKS. His journey from being conflicted about his vocation and his love for JP was just lovely. Too bad his ending was anything but.

Worst New Character: Ameera Ali Aziz on ATWT.

Best Line/Dialogue: When Christian finally says, "Ich habe mich in dich verliebt" to Olli on VL on April 4, 2008.

Worst Best Line/Dialogue: All the nasty exchanges between Roman and Deniz on AWZ. Roman can be so awful. Same goes for Deniz and his coke headed ways.

Most Shocking Moment: Kieron Hobbs's death. I know it was spoiled to death, pun intended, but the execution and Jake Hendriks's delivery of Kieron's final lines still shocked me greatly and deeply.

Least Shocking Moment: Noah Mayer proposing to Ameera Ali Aziz to enter into a green card marriage on ATWT.

Favorite Kiss: Christian and Olli in the boxing ring on August 1, 2008 on VL.

Most Enjoyable Show: VERBOTENE LIEBE. 'Nuff said.

Most Disappointing Show: HOLLYOAKS as it blew so many opportunities with Kieron and everything about the so-called "Sunset Ending" with McDean just rang false to me.



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

On VL, more of Oliver and Christian. If they have to be split up, then so be it, but it has to come from a real place. I'd also like to see Christian show his attraction to other guys so that it's clearer to me that he's not simply Olli-sexual.

ATWT to fire its writing staff because the entire show is thisclose to cancellation. ATWT should also further capitalize and try to regain the goodwill it had when Nuke was hot. And the show really should have the boys consummate the relationship. It has gotten to the point where it's just outright incredible that Noah and Luke have not even done the deed after being on and off for over 1 year now.

On AWZ, for Roman to get a lover worthy of him or at least to rehabilitate Deniz in a way that makes sense so Roman and Deniz stop having such a self-hating and abusive relationship.

[dkp]

Best Storyline: Christian and Oliver on VL from January to September 2008.

Best New Character: Andrew's boyfriend on Desperate Housewives.

Most Shocking Moment: Kieron's Death

Least Shocking Moment: Noah Mayer proposing to Ameera.

Favorite Kiss: Christian and Olli in the boxing ring.

Most Enjoyable Show: VL

Most Disappointing Show: ATWT and AWZ



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

More of Ollie and Christian and some good stories. Maybe a love triangle?

More airtime for Luke AND Noah, give Noah some family, stories outside of Luke and some layers to his character, for Luke and Noah finally get laid, and last of all, get a decent story.

For either to give Roman a new guy or start to go back on the back to reunite Deniz and Roman (for real this time).

That Kyle and ERic from GH:NS get to either be on a third season on NS or go over to General Hospital.

That Fer and Julio from FoQ become a couple and not just fan's dream. LOL

[lazylionsby]

Best Storyline: VL, everything about Olli & Christian .

Worst Storyline: ATWT, Noah + Amera = Nauseous. I found the whole mess rather insulting for women.

Best Actor: Jo Weil (VL's Oliver Sabel), you can almost see him 'speak' to you through that beautiful eyes. Thore Schölerman come a close second, his angst scene is so.... GUH! , then, the faces he manage to pull

Best Actress: Kristina Dörfer (VL's Olivia) bitchy, snappy, snarky, feisty, girl got it by the bunches, what's not to love?

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: VL's Stella Mann (Gregor's & Christian's cousin). Her dialogue seems a bit strange, so... flat, and I don't even know German (language).

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): VL's Gregor (Andreas Jancke). Now, HE'S a husband material Seriously folks, I'll count myself lucky if I have a supportive brother like that (, and a darn hot one at it too, all that wild animal magnetism is sizzling).

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): VL's Fabian. Just glad I don't have to put up with him anymore. What was Judith thinking?

Best Friendship: VL's Gregor + Christian/Olli + Judith, oh lets throw Olivia into the bunch, they're such an entertaining mix .

Worst Friendship: Axel's faux-friendship with Christian. Good riddance.

Biggest Missed Opportunity: HO's Kieron death..... there's still so many things that can be showcased if Kieron survived.

Best Chemistry: VL's Olli & Christian. It transcends the physical attraction, to show that love is a matter of the heart & soul, and sometimes words aren't really necessary.

Biggest WTF? Moment: VL's Olli absence/vacation in Ibiza.... Okay, I know the writer had to accomodate Jo's performance schedule in Ganze Kerle, still, can't they come up with some sane & believable excuse? Something that actually can contribute to the possible future plotline? Or at least a darn good explanation from Olli.... we miss him....

Best Song Moment: Never pay too much attention to the soundtrack, so no pick in this category. On second thought, I like "Chasing Cars" best, but I got to agree that "Breathe Me" is particularly perfect for 4/4 "The Kiss" scene, perfectly timed and staged to the act I might say.

Worst Song Use: <<see the Best Song Moment>> I like 'em all. Diversity, please .

Best Storyline Twist: VL's Olli gay bashing. Hate the bashing & that mofo Axel . But without that there won't be that heartbreaking, gut wrenching moment when Christian say "I love you so much" with glassy eyes ...... oh boys... we love you soooo much too.

Worst Storyline Twist: ATWT's Noah + Ameera. Some writers need some good ol' spanking ( and NOT the good kind )

Best New Character: VL's Judith. Honestly, she cracks me up with her boy/man problems ;D and despite her quirks, she's a lovely character.

Worst New Character: VL's David. Lame duck.

Best Line/Dialogue: VL (5 June 2008, Nanna's translation) :

• Christian : "I feel like somehow I could burst. I's like to run around ... Jump ... "
  
• Oliver : "Dance."
  
• Christian : "Yeah, I'd love to dance a sirtaki with you right here. .......... Because you give me the strength to do all this. The courage, pride ..... You just love me."
  
• Oliver : "One more word like that and I'll start to cry."
  
• Christian : "Yeah me too. Because I can't dance with you. Instead I have to pretend to Wolle that I think gays are gross. Betraying you."
  
• Oliver : "Who cares what this Wolle guy thinks. The main thing is that we know how we feel about each other."
  
• Christian : "You always know the right thing to say."

Worst Line/Dialogue: VL's Fabian's crumpled poems for Judith.

Most Shocking Moment: VL's Rebecca swimming trunk photoshoot. Now THAT'S a nice suprise of eye candies ;D ;D

Least Shocking Moment: Kieron's death. Too much buzz before it actually comes up.

Favorite Kiss: VL's Christian & Olli, all of them, givin' me goose bumps and tingles allover ;D

Most Enjoyable Show: VL's, whenever Christian & Olli get a scene together. All hail and praise Nanna!

Most Disappointing Show: AWZ. I just don't get Deniz. Somebody gotta slap some good sense into him.

What do I hope for in 2009 for my favorite pairs (no spoilers):

VL: I just wish Olli & Christian work on something TOGETHER (opening a new business, solving a mistery, supporting other character, heck I even imagine them saving an orphaned teenager from the street life, acting like an old married couple). A bit of jealousy would be nice. Olivia & Sebastian coming together. A new love interest for Gregor, he's too pretty to be on his own. An devilishly annoying man that wrecks Judith's nerve, yet stole her heart in the end.

AWZ: Deniz need to pull his head out of his a**hole.

Worst Best Line/Dialogue: "In Iraq..." Ameera-ATWT

LOL, Thanks for this, . I'd forgotten how annoying that used to be. ATWT needs new writers, pronto.

[amber80]

Best Storyline: Olli and Christian's starting romance. (Till the moment Gregor finds out about them) (VL)

Worst Storyline: DeVa. (AWZ)

Best Actor: James Sutton (HO)

Best Actress: Rachael Griffiths (Brothers & Sisters)

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: The actress playing Rebecca (VL)

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Gregor (VL)

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Lydia (VL) Yawn...

Best Friendship: Ringo -> Roman and Ingo (AWZ) (Well at least, it used to be great. )

Worst Friendship: Deniz and Vanessa (AWZ)

Biggest Missed Opportunity: JP dealing with Kieron's death was almost non-existent because of a somewhat forced SE. (HO)

Best Chemistry: DeRo (AWZ) if the TPTB actually let them share a scene together. Otherwise I would go for Geoff and Pavel (Raw); loved them together...

Biggest WTF? Moment: Seeing that poster of a sunset as a background during the SE kiss. Way toooooooo much over the top for my taste. I still get annoyed when I see it.(HO)

Best Song Moment: Not very original, but my choice is also 'Breathe Me' during Christian and Olli's kiss. (VL) And of course the 'Ich Zieh Mich Vor Dir Aus' during the DeRo sex-in-the-locker-room scene. (AWZ)

Worst Song Use: No idea

Best Storyline Twist: Christian not beating up Axel because of Olivia's interference.

Worst Storyline Twist: Noah marrying Ameera because there would be no other option to let her stay in the country. (ATWT) and Deniz falling in love with Vanessa. (AWZ)

Best New Character: Kieron (HO)

Worst New Character: Ameera (ATWT)

Best Line/Dialogue: Gregor explaining to Christian he will always stay his little brother, no matter who he loves. (VL)

Worst Line/Dialogue: Anything coming from Ameera's mouth. (ATWT)

Most Shocking Moment: Nuke kissing again after the drought. (ATWT)

Least Shocking Moment: Olivia waking up between Christian and Olli. That scene was a bit dissapointing to me; could have been more shocking and so more interesting.

Favorite Kiss The one between Christian and Olli after Christian finding out about Olli being his chat partner. (VL) And of course the kiss with the lick in it between Deniz and Roman. ;D (AWZ)

Most Enjoyable Show: Raw. (I wish I could have seen the whole show) And if I had to pick one of the soaps it would have to be VL.

Most Disappointing Show: Hollyoaks. They could have done sooooooooooooo much more with the JP/Kieron storyline, Kieron's character, Niall's interaction with his family and with the SE. I was really disappointed in how they handled JP reuniting with Craig again; it was a big let down for me.

What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs?

ATWT - For Noah to become more interesting on his own. For Nuke to find a way back to each other and to finally have sex for the first time.

AWZ - Please, please, please let them give Roman a new love interest and let Deniz grow up more. (And maybe, after some growing up and lots of obstacles, let DeRo get back together again. Because that would make me very happy. )

VL - Something interesting for Christian and Olli. Lots of obstacles please.

HO - A new interesting gay character would be nice.

O, and can they please let Arthur and Merlin go in an unexpected shocking direction? ;D

[tihkon2]

Best Storyline: Christian and Olli falling in love. VL

Worst Storyline: The horridly messy badly written Kieron dies/ Sunset Ending on HO.

Best Actor: Thore Schölermann VL

Best Actress: Kristina Dorfer VL

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: Van Hansis , Jake Silberman from ATWT or Katherine Hess (Judith on VL)

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Olivia or Gregor on VL or Mercedes on HO

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): David on VL

Best Friendship: Ingo and Roman from AWZ

Worst Friendship: Lydia and anyone on VL

Biggest Missed Opportunity: The complete and utter fuck-up the writers and directors and storyboarders made of the end of the JP, Craig, and Kieron storyline on HO.

Best Chemistry: Christian and Olli VL

Biggest WTF? Moment: the next episode of VL after Olli gets Axel-bashed. It was the lamest thing in the world to see Lydia walk into the flat while Olli is all black and blue and laying on Christian and no one mentions that 12 hours ago he was beaten.

Best Song Moment: Sia's Breathe Me on the April 4th 2008 episode of VL.

Worst Song Use: Fergie's "Clumsy" used left and right on VL

Best Storyline Twist: Gilles wanting JP on Clara Scheller 1rst season.

Worst New Character: "David" on VL

Favorite Kiss: Christian and Olli, Christian's dream version of how it went when Olli kissed him in the boxing ring back in February of 2008 on VL.

Most Enjoyable Show: VL

Most Disappointing Show: HO



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):

More meaty scenes with Christian and Olli, and if anyone cheats, it better be Olli, so his Holy Halo gets tarnished a bit. Then they better get back together. ;D

[sheepiefarm]

Best Storyline: VL Jan - May
Christian coming to terms with the fact that he was falling in love with Olli - most stand out scenes were, his reaction slumped on the floor of the bathroom and his abject submissive response when Olli touched his shoulder leading up to the 4/4 kiss - it just blew me away.

Worst Storyline: Keiron's death in Hollyoaks
I was never a huge fan of the character but going from being so in love they were about to be married, to his sudden murder by Niall, to JP barely even getting to mourn him was just plain insulting to the character & the viewers

Best Actor: Thore Scholerman - Jan - May, by a runaway mile
For the first time ever, I identified with a gay character's emotions.

Best Actress: Rachael Griffiths (Brothers & Sisters)

Actor or Actress Most In Need Of Acting Lessons: Tom (Tom & Ulli)
He's a bit of a plank - his face only has one expression

Best Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Casey (ATWT), Miriam (VL)
The things he's done for Nuke - yay - Go Casey!!
She just makes me smile everytime I see her

Worst Supporting Character (including f*g hags): Axel (VL)


Best Friendship: Ingo & Roman (AWZ)

Worst Friendship: nothing comes to mind....

Biggest Missed Opportunity: Judith & Constantin (VL)
These two were just crying out to be together & thier chemistry was fantastic - the writers should be shot for not allowing it to happen....

Best Chemistry: Chris & Olli (VL) -
though Luke & Noah (ATWT) have it too when the scriptwriters allow it to happen

Biggest WTF? Moment: The mistletoegate non-kiss (ATWT)
Okay - I know it was strictly last year but nothing was more WTF than that!!!!!!!!

Best Song Moment: I hardly pay attention to the background music, but Sia's Breathe Me hit the mark.

Worst Song Use: see above

Best Storyline Twist: Brian falling for Luke (ATWT)
A very bizarre twist for a daytime soap to take - and ATWT at that!!!!!

Worst Storyline Twist: Ollie's temporary exit from VL
Okay - it's not exactly a twist, but hey-ho, a holiday to Ibiza for how many months - they could have come up with something FAR more credible than THAT!!!!!!!!

Best New Character: Brian (ATWT)
More from an "I'm intrigued by his story" point of view than actually really liking the character.

Worst New Character: Rebecca (VL)
No chemistry with Gregor whatsoever - did they not see this at the screentest!!

Best Line/Dialogue: n/a
I remember actions & scenes rather than explicit lines of dialogue

Worst Best Line/Dialogue: see above

Most Shocking Moment: The whole Hollyoaks SE debacle!!!!!!!
Pure shite - every last bit of it!!!!!!!

Least Shocking Moment: Nuke drifting apart (ATWT)
It had to happen - thier storyline was so far in the doldrums that it has to be torn down and rebuilt again.

Favorite Kiss: Christian & Olli April 4th
The most beautiful & meaningful kiss between two guys ever shown on screen.
Oh - and Christian dreaming about responding to Olli's first kiss in the boxing changing room was probably the most erotic

Most Enjoyable Show: VL (Jan - May), ATWT (Dec - now)
The coming together of Christian & Ollian had me totally & utterly hooked, like nothing ever has before. The boxing stuff bored me
ATWT has definitely filled the void in VL's current abscence

Most Disappointing Show: AWZ
What can I say - the most soul destroying negative portrayal of gay guys currently on daytime tv.
Although Casualty may start to give it a run for it's money



What do you hope for in 2009 for your favorite pairs (no spoilers):
VL - a bit of angst & a bit of good loving - they have the acting ability to take us on an emotional rollercoaster.

ATWT - Nuke to get a bit of reality into thier storyline - have sex for fuck's sake - get another gay character (thier own age) in to mix it up a bit - Oh, and another "just out of the pool, all wet & smouldering kiss" - man that was HOT!!!! - even though they didn't actually kiss

AWZ - a decent story & someone to sub the clips so I can watch it ;D
