GayTime already posted a few times about them on his blog and uploaded some clips with subtitles on his YT channel, but I just realised they didn't have their own thread on the forum yet...
So here are the clips about Koen and Flip from the daily dutch teensoap Spangas. Clips by GayTime and subtitles by GayTime and Pascalle.
I think these guys are a cute couple. There arent many storylines out there with teen guys, and this one is the best ive seen. I especially liked that the coming out bits were no big deal to the characters, and that Flip and Koen got such a positive reception when they started openly being couple. And the first scene where they were joking around was cute too.
I think the storyline is still there. But the Koen character was recasted. He is now played by Jeffrey Hamilton:
He used to be on Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden, but was fired last year. I was not impressed with his acting so I was glad when he left. I haven't seen him on Spangas (I don't watch the show because even though Flip and Koen were cute, the rest of the show was unwatchable).
Oh, I kinda like the show. ;D (Even though the acting isn't all that great) And even though the former guy playing Koen was a really terrible actor IMO, he was cute in his own way and he was definitely cute together with Flip. The scenes I've seen so far between the new Koen and Flip didn't make me jump for joy, but I must confess I haven't been watching a lot of the show lately. The last thing I can remember is Flip being jealous because Koes had feelings for another guy at school. (Really can't remember his name)
I found out by chance that starting today the first 26 episodes of Spangas will be broadcast in Germany on Super RTL weekdays at 3:50 pm. In case anybody feels inclined to watch it way before the Koen/Flip storyline.

Does anybody know at what episode the Koen/Flip storyline started approximately?

Koen/Flip is from season 2 of Spangas so it will take a while before that's seen in Germany (if they keep airing the show of course). But in season 1 Flip did have something with a boy named Mick:
In that first season there's also the storyline of the gay teacher. I thought it was a good story (with the reactions of the students).
Thanks for your info, markdutchviewer, it is very much appreciated. I guess one season consists of 26 episodes. S-RTL is a channel directed to young viewers, and because the scenery is dutch, it is very familiar to Germans. So I hope many young people will watch it.

On September 30th the Spangas movie Spangas op Survival will be released in cinemas here. The trailer:
I didn't see the Koen character, so I'm not sure if he's in this movie, but there were some Flip moments in the trailer. Like him yelling "I'm gay!" when he jumps into the water. And then later when he's walking next to a Muslim girl he says: "her religion hates gays."
I loved Flip and Koen. I was sad no one picked up the story once Gaytime had to move so suddenly. I was really getting into the characters. I know they recast Koen. Maybe I'll have to go do so digging to see if anyone is doing subs. If I find anything I'll post them here. Spangs was SOOOO much like Degrassi was for me as a teen (and how Degrassi TNG is for teens now). Cute and funny but dealing with real issues for teens.
Be who you are? My back row movie partner, my Greek food tour guide, my thoughtful bike fixer, My Guy... (Zane to Riley, Degrassi Boiling Point)
You can try www.uitzendinggemist.nl All the episodes are on there but no subs of course. Go to top right and enter SPANGAS and press ZOEK The new series will start the 14th September and they also made a film about when the school goes on a survival camp in Belgium (Ardennen?) the trailer is on Youtube.

So they're airing re-runs of Spangas during the summer. Every day 5 episodes. I was a little bored, so I decided to upload the Flip scenes with subtitles.
Koen is not in these episodes and the focus is more on Flip's dad's crush on a new woman, but I still liked it. I loved the moment at 5:25 in the first video.
I must say I really liked this storyline. It was about something that's real for a lot of teens these days. Having to deal with (one of) your parents bringing home a new partner. Who happens to have kids as well. I think 'Spangas' is really good in telling all the stuff teens have to deal with; they know how to get a message across without sounding too preachy. (IMO)

I think Spangas is at it's best when they do realistic stories like this one. The show is absolutely horrible when they do stupid storylines like stuff with werewolves. ;D I seem to have a love/hate relationship with Spangas.

So apparently Koen IS in the movie. But only for a tiny little bit at the beginning it seems. I subscribed to the Spangas newsletter. ;D And this week they had a backstage video of the movie. It was on the day they were filming when the students leave the school in a bus for their school trip. But not everyone is going to the Ardennes in Belgium. Another trip is going to Vienna, Austria. They showed a scene of Koen telling Flip at the last moment that he changed his mind and that he's going to Vienna now and not to the Ardennes with Flip. But there was a kiss:
