Was Christian right?

[lolaruns]

You know, I kinda thought Christian was overreacting, especially since the guy Olli was dancing with didn't really say anything other than that Olli has a cute butt.

However, could Christian in his jealousy have been unintentionally right?

On Monday's episode Sarah (Gregor's wife) went to a club to get over her depression and was approached by a drug dealer who offered her cocaine. Same guy? He shows up around the 2 minute mark and offers her the cocaine around 5:20.

Hey, I think it is the same guy, but they never do a close-up of him. So maybe it's the same actor being recycled for that bit part?

Of course, I'm old and can't see without a telescope...

;D

i think so too the same guy the same style and way of talking etc. cant be so many similarities
mmmmmmm interesting

I remember reading a while ago that a certain actor was cast as Sarah's drug dealer and I think they even mentioned that the name of his role was Rick (they also said it was just a short role, not a permanent character).

But still, if he is reoccuring and if Sarah is gonna be addicted for a while, maybe he'll show up again!

Hey, I think you're right! I'm pretty sure it's the same guy.
He's also at the beginning of the next episode here.

Yes, of course Christian was right!!! That is definitely the same guy!!! And even what he did was an act of jealousy, I think that he saw the crap underneath that man. Christian is such a sweetheart!!!

Yeah, but in fairness, I think Christian's reaction to the fitness trainer guy (what was his name? Timo?) was just as motivated by jealousy as his reaction to Rick. But Rick was rather sleazy and his remark to the bartender did indicate that he considered Olli to be mostly just a likely f***.

Christian didn't seem to know Rick, so I think that he was just jealous of another guy getting it on with Olli, who he subconsciously already considered his. What was interesting was the way he felt the need to justify himself to everyone about it. Gregor should have been suspicious based on that alone, to say nothing of finding the two of them in their underwear later.

But maybe the producers figure it's easier to get more than one use out of their extras?

Gregor should have been suspicious based on that alone, to say nothing of finding the two of them in their underwear later.

Agreed. At the very least he should by now think that his little brother is suffering from some very schizoid behavior, going from "Ewww, gay people!" to striking up a tentative friendship with Olli to being so protective of him. It would a truckload of sense if Gregor was already thinking that there is something strange going on and already wondering if Christian was overcompensating back then.

It would be cool if Gregor already guessed some of what's going on himself (at least that Christian has a thing for Olli;) and was just waiting for Christian to come around and confide in him. Of course that probably wouldn't be dramatic enough for a soap. Sigh.

i hope y'all don't mind! this belong more into the general discussion or- if we're talking about rick- into the supporting cast thread.

other than that - great find! :-)
