Onderweg Naar Morgen (ONM) is a Dutch soap I used to watch years ago. I stopped watching when they thought it was a good idea to fire almost the whole cast and replace them with newbies. But it looks like something interesting might happen on the show now:
From what I understand the character Sytze Eyzinga has been on the show for 2 years but that this is the first time the viewers see the possibility that he might be gay.
I have no idea if this storyline will be good or not, but even if it's great, we won't be able to enjoy it for very long. The show has been canceled and will last air in May.

Thanks for posting this new storyline! It does look promising. Too bad it likely won't go very far in just a few months.

Thanks mark for bringing us yet another Dutch show! It is a shame it won't be on for longer as I'm curious to see where this storyline is headed, but I'll enjoy it no matter what. After all the other two shows have given me such high expections

If we could decide who we loved, it would be much simpler, but less magical.

Maybe Sytze didn't know he liked guys as well and this is all news to him. He looks like he was just waken from sleep and is seeing his life for the first time.

It's a pity that the show is already cancelled, because the story seems promised. But it's in its first steps, so i don't know if they'll have enough time to develop it

Well has anyone ever seen the UK show Sinchronicity? It was a few years back, but a good part of it's on youtube. Anyway there is a gay storyline there between Jase and Mani and I think the show was only like six episodes. But it's still a great story, basically Jase is in a relationship with Fi and while out with her and his best friend Nathan he meets Mani. There is an instant strong connection like Sytze and Karif.
Jase and Mani start seeing each other and what started out as a fun filled affair became something more in six episodes and it was believable. I think the writers knew that this show was canceled, so they are going to be very creative with how this pairing gets played out.

I watched it (or at least a part of it), but it's different a miniseries than a soap, and this is a soap, there are a lot of characters with different storylines, and the path is usually slower. But if they know that they'll be cancelled in anticipation, they probably fix it to make a whole story, and three months is enough time (even when this kind of storyline of self discovery, usually spend a lot more time in a soap to fully develop it)

True, but I think they know about the cancellation by that time. So everything has been written to wrap it all in a decent time.

The show was canceled on October 28 and filming ended in December. The show ends in May so that means they were filming 5 months in advance. That means that what we're seeing now was filmed before they were canceled (in September).
I think it's ridiculous that the network canceled the show only 2 months before the last filming day. That didn't give the writers a lot of time to wrap things up... We'll see what happens. It's also interesting for me to see what they will do because I'm not familiar with this show anymore (I only recognize 2 characters, the rest is new to me).
BTW, the other TGoDT show "SpangaS" will take over ONM's timeslot after the summer.

It's cool that ONM is having a gay s/l, too bad the show's been canceled (and that the gay s/l doesn't involved the characters of Junior or Alex or, better yet, both ;D)

I am madly in love with Sytze Eyzinga, he is the perfect combination of innocent and sexy and he's so tall. I love that twinkle in his eye every time he looks at that card and the fact that he's so take with the handsome guy that he can't not look at him. He looks a lot like my ex girlfriend. I know that's weird (well, not so much for a lesbian ) but seriously, she was like a dead ringer. Same coloring, build and that thick curly hair and bee-stung lips. She played volleyball and she had that same kind of "not taking up very much space even though I'm really tall" thing going on. The actor is just wonderful. And he has that fabulous basey voice. Thanks so much Mark. I'm already fully engaged and I can't wait to see how he's going to handle dealing with his best friend who's a hoot but also a loose canon. Wee!

Hee! I'm enjoying it too. Fun fact for those who also watch GTST: A couple of years ago Jan Kooijman played a gay character on ONM (It was a guest role for a couple of months). On GTST he now plays the role of Danny.

Well hopefully there is a kiss between these two before the show ends. They have huge amounts of chemistry and they have barely gone near each other.

He's definitely a hottie. BTW, I will upload this week's ONM clips tomorrow.

Oh my cutiepie Sytze, I'm worried about his heart. That Karif is all kinds of shady. I know Esmee meant well but I just think Karif could just break a boy's heart with one glance. Grrr. No more closet guys with girlfriends/wives/fiances
I like Lars, he has Chutzpah.

I agree about Karif. I don't trust him at all, haha. We'll see what happens. I like Lars too. But maybe it's more the actor William Spaaij. He's also playing the role of Bert in the Dutch version of the musical Mary Poppins: He's a cutie.

Mark, does Esmee know who the father of her baby is?

It's actually not her baby. She's surrogate for her friends Ilyas and Shirina.

OH thank you. That explains so much. What a great thing to do for her friends. Though she seems kind of young but I'm glad she's taking it more seriously.
