Yep. Same here. New episodes would be even better. :-)

I have a couple of questions about Roman's background ...
Do we know where he's from -- is he an Essen native? Does he have any family? Are his parents alive? Brothers or sisters? Was the world championship his first big competition, and was the bronze medal his first big win?
Unfortunately I'm limited just to the subtitled clips, so I don't know if these questions have been addressed in canon. If anybody could help me out, I'd be very grateful! Thanks!

Gabi is probably much better equipped to answer these, since she has all the old, pre-Deniz clips of Roman on her AWZ history blog (and I keep meaning to write some English recaps for those but haven't had time yet, sorry Gabi!) I know he's been in competitions before, but I couldn't tell you about medals His parents are in Australia, on an extended holiday or permanently (?) and I'm fairly sure he's an only child. But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will step in

This helps very much, thanks Greenwich! An only child whose only known family is a continent away? No wonder he got so clingy so fast! I'd still love to know where he grew up, especially if he's a city boy or grew up in a more rural area, but I'm happy to fill in the blanks if need be.

How exciting! Thank you so much, Greenwich!!!! *giggles at the first one* And this is when Roman was supposed to be acting straight, right? *giggles more* Gabi, is there a way we'll know when this is updated? Will you be posting it here, or should I just stalk your blog?

I'm glad you have those clips, Gabi - it's cool to see some of Roman's beginnings, and especially funny considering they're trying to make him "evil" in the current episodes, but a lot of people probably don't know that he started out as a right twat. Can I just say again that I miss the good hair everyone had back then! Obviously Roman's glory days as far as character goes are the Days of Deniz, but unfortunately it was also when they gave him the most unflattering, unwashed-looking, flattened hairstyles. Why, why?? (Ignore me, I have a hair fetish in a similar way as Princess Ollian has a fashion one )

I totally agree with you on the hair!! For example: the picture used in the banner of this forum: bad (as in: BAD!!) hairday for Roman. Hideous!
The hairdo can make such a difference to how someone looks.... (Take Van/Luke for example: one day he's hot and the next he's not.)

I know, right?? I mean, how hard can it be? No one looks good with greasy, plastered-down bangs, so whyyyyy give them to an otherwise perfectly hot-looking guy and then put him on television like that? (and you're totally right about the banner pic. My hands twitch towards the shampoo bottle if I look at it for longer than 2 seconds ) I don't watch a lot of Nuke, but I agree, lol - if I miss half of a hot boy-kiss because I'm too busy sussing out what's wrong with the hair, then something's really wrong.

It's that famous good storytelling, there's a message there. They love each other even with a bad hair I haven't seen ATWT for ages but there were times I was looking forward to see every episode. Carly used to be my favourite ;D
