Verbotene Liebe DVDs

[mitchells00]

Has anyone bought them? Does everyone know about them? I'm looking at buying them, but I first want to know if they have english subtitles. I thank Nanna for doing such a great job, but I want the WHOLE show :3 from beginning to (hopefully nonexistant) end.

A search of "verbotene liebe" on amazon.de brings up a few interesting results... including the first 100 eps, and what I can see to be a few later seasons (3000, 3500). I want to first find out if anyone has them, and get a few more details (how many eps per set, eng subtitles etc) before I bite the bullet and buy one.

What's the verdict guys?


Edit: DVDs doesn't have an apostrophe.

There are NO English subtitles on them.

I have the 3000 and 3500 DVDs. There are only FOUR episodes each. So definitely not worth buying for the episodes.

3000: Episodes 1, 2999, 3000, 3001 (Sarah/Leonard in Paris)

3500: Episodes 3333, 3483, 3484, 3500/3501 (Gregor/Luise masked ball, helicopter crash, wedding)

The bonus features, especially that of the GreLu wedding, are okay. Jo & Thore are in it and it's similar to the online version.

There's also a lengthy Gregor/Luise "best of." Again, similar to the online version. So if you're a fan of their storyline and don't have recorded all their episodes, this would be a must have. Unfortunately, they never did this type of thing for Ollian.

The other DVD with the first 50 episodes of the show would be for the Jan/Julia fans. It's from the 1995 storylines. But older episodes are available on Sevenload for free.

Dieses Video ist für Dein Land nicht verfügbar.
Anywhere outside of Germany, sevenload will not show VL. I'd need a German VPN with a sizable amount of data to watch it. I'm actually somewhat surprised that full episodes are, from what I can see, unattainable... even via not-so-legal means!

Oh well, there goes the one continuing soap I like... :/

Thanks for the info, really helpful

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware it was a Germany site only. But these episodes are ancient, too.

I guess the biggest source is still YouTube. But whenever someone posts full eps, the channel gets removed. I assume the other stuff falls under "fair use," so the Ollian saga stays up for now. The commercial channels (RTL, VOX) are much more strict.

There are reruns on PayTV, but barely anyone in Germany uses PayTV. I wish the Internet platforms would stream all episodes of the Lahnstein/Gregor Mann era, 2004ish, or maybe even sooner with young!Olli. These super old and super new eps are pretty useless.
