Hello, I'm Trise. Currently situated on a tiny island in South-East Asia. Currently 'lusting' over the storylines of Brothers & Sisters, AWZ, VL. And love the Spice Girls and many other pop/mainstream artists! Hope to meet more members into similar interests over here!

Hey, I'm Wolfi, a German ex-pat in the US and better known as 'that dude who runs THE GAYS OF DAYTIME'. My favorite shows are VERBOTENE LIEBE, BROTHERS & SISTERS (Ahhh... Kevin), HOLLYOAKS and generally I take note when gay characters are portrayed.
I have a soft spot for Ben McKenzie (Ryan Atwood on THE OC) and in a perfect world, Jake Silberman's Noah would cheat on Luke with him and not deal with Ameera.

I'm Kyle, I'm married to my parner. Yes, gay marriage is legal in Canada. I found Verbotene Liebe out of frustration of how the USA has degayed Nuke. You europeans are lucky to have such shows. Thanks for youtube and the internet to give us a peak into how gay love stories are portrayed without anal boundries we have here in North America.

I am Davina! I am terrible at introductions but I follow AWZ, VL, ATWT and Hollyoaks. I am also a Queer As Folk-US survivor and I have the scars to prove it. As most of you who've seen me on other boards know that I adore the DeRo storyline despite the current frustrations but VL is coming up the ranks pretty quickly. I found AWZ and VL courtesy of a friend who was fed up with ATWT's treatment of Nuke, which I completely understand cause Noah & Luke have kind of stalled even though I still love the pairing ( HATE THE "BACK IN IRAQ..." DROSS). My favorite gay character is John Paul McQueen though I am really liking Olli too. And to piggyback on Gaytime... in a perfect world I'd be having a cup of tea with Igor right now.

Hi, I´m Juan writing from the Dominican Republic. I´m an Architect and Photographer. My partner is a musician and professional English-Spanish interpreter.
Favorite stories are VL, B&S and ATWT (in that order). Non-gay would be Battlestar Galactica, although Battlestar did have a short lesbian arc in the "Razor" extended episode.

Hi, I´m Steffi (well obviously ;D) and I´m from germany.
I´m a big supporter of the JP/Craig-storyline but I really love JP/Kieron as well.
I´m also watching VL and AWZ, but just the "main" storylines about the guys ^^ I´m a little bit more in love with Olli&Christian.
Stopped watching Nuke when this Ameera-girl joined because I really don´t like the direction all this is going. They could have done much better.

There were times I liked ATWT, too Music - anything good really, classical music - Mozart, Bach, Haendel, Monteverdi or something newer - Pet Shop Boys, Rufus Wainwright, Amy Winehouse, Leonard Cohen, I love the new Duffy album. I love Mika's album, too, it's such an unapologetic pop ;D

Hi I'm Paul, variously know as montferrat and tihkon2. I'm "that guy with the Youtube playlist" I'm a 41 year old guy located in Connecticut, in the USA. I'm a big fan of Oli and Christian's storyline. I've checked out Roman/Deniz and most of the other gay daytime storylines on Youtube as well. I'm really pleased with the internet providing people like me, who were starved of seeing any good gay romances, a place to find all these things. It's so cool to find interesting stories that deal with subject matters that I can relate to.

Hi I am chris (cwxyzallen) and I live in England.
I was pretty into the McDean storyline; I get pretty obsessive about some of this stuff - but HO is really pissing me off at present.
I also like the Max and Enric and Max Iago storylines, (but not speaking spanish that can be pretty hard to follow), Desperate Housewives and all the usual suspects.
I am also a big sci-fi fan and my current sci-fi obsession is BSG.

Hi, I'm Anne, and I'm French. I'm a lurker, since it takes me to much effort to write an understandable sentence in English, even if I understand that language rather well. The only show I know here is AWZ. I "watch" it on RTL (I don't understand anything), and I hope that the beginning of the show and the French version will be good, so I can keep watching it on M6. I watched the first season of Les Bleus on M6, and it was very good, even though I didn't like how the story between Kevin and his boyfriend ended.

Hi I'm Will and I live in the UK - on the southern outskirts of London and most certainly part of the internet generation.
I was introduced to HO by the McDean storyline which I got thoroughly engrossed in, although for all my sins I think I preferred JP/Spike more. I'm a fan of Skins, Dr Who, Torchwood and thanks to IvanIV et al. Verbotene Liebe. I did at one time have an interest in ATWT, but that went out the window a fair while back...

HI!! I'm Alazne and I'm from Basque Country. I follow some of those series thanks to "GayTime" and his blog. For me it's a way of improving my english or french, and i'm really loocking forward to learn german!!!jaaja I like gay characters but i hate to see so many troubles not only in the others' behaviour but also in a person who notice himself as gay and doesn't manage to face it (noah, deniz, christian..)

Hi, everyone! I'm Melanie from Austria. The first daily soap that piqued my interest was ATWT. Before that, I didn't like soaps at all and never thought I'd end up watching one regularly. After ATWT started getting frustrating, some people on youtube talked about Deniz and Roman, so I checked out that storyline next. Through AWZ I found my way to the great "The Gays of Daytime" Blog, which eventually introduced me to VL (my biggest obession right now). So thanks a lot for your great work, Wolfi! These are the only soaps I've followed until now. I have yet to check out HO (even though I was a member of the JSF board) and other storylines but I don't like watching too many things at once. Besides daily soaps I'm also a big fan of QaF (US) (even though it's long over) and I watch Six Feet Under (I'm only at season 2), Desperate Housewives (also at season 2) and Skins.

Hi all. I am Gabi, from Germany, 52 years old. Some of you know me already from the official AWZ message board. I am also the one with the DeRo History blog. Please excuse the poor quality of the clips, the files tend to get very large when choosing higher quality and my computer is not that new. Hope you enjoy them anyway. Of course, I am not that good a writer as Wolfi. My main interest is AWZ in general and DeRo; I like Hollyoaks, too, and watch the VL clips at gaytime's. Great to have that new board. Hopefully some of you can help out translating the clips.

Good morning, afternoon and evening all!!
It's dkellergrl aka Denise. I finally found sometime to join the forum and I'm so excited to see all the postings, threads and discussion that's been developed within the 48 hours of this place being created.
I think it's great that this place was created, because I found myself not talking as much about James Sutton and the character of JP on his official forum, as I was about Jo, Thorr and their amazing chemistry as Oliver and Christian on VL.
I hope to get caught up on the other threads, especially the Max storyline from the Catalan soap opera.

Hi everyone! This is one of the first times I introduce myself properly; usually I just lurk... My name is Sjanet and I'm from the Netherlands. I'm already a member on JSF en VH.net, but it's great to have finally found a place where all the story lines are gathered. I follow all of them on You Tube, but on Nuke days I watch ATWT on TVhug (that is: if it's working ), AWZ I watch on line and VL I can watch on my own TV... My first favorites were John Paul & Craig, Luke and Noah followed soon after. Deniz & Roman were great until Vanessa came between them , so at the moment I'm looking most forward to Christian and Olli showing up on our screens! PS. I always comment on YT videos, but I want to say it here too: A big, big thank you for everyone who makes it possible to watch these stories!!

Hey - bigtime lurker coming out! I'm Nina, from Germany and 26 - and up until, uh, two months ago or so, I wasn't a soap fan at all, but when I stumbled over AWZ thanks to some online fans gushing about it, well - my fate was sealed. *laughs* Anyway, so - I've been lurking around on the Gaytime blog, the JamesSuttonFans board, the DeRo fanfic board and just about everywhere I was able to get more info because despite me being German and therefore also pretty much fluent in German, I'm deaf since my birth and therefore never watched soaps because most of them (except for (sorry) boring ones like Lindenstraße or Schloßhotel Orth and the likes, ugh) aren't subtitled, so I also rely on the subtitled vids here to understand the dialogue. Uh, yes, glad to meet you all here! This board's a great idea, really, and I'm looking forward to finally delurk.

Hi All! Calaeb here. I had my start with the Max/Enric story line on youtube, and filtered my way through the various subscribers to the other shows (ATWT, AWZ, VL, etc). After about a year, I thought it was time to start giving back; and so have begun to tentatively post gay plots from other shows - Annually Retentive (on BBC featuring out actor Rusell Tovey) to start. I'll try to post a link on the 'other shows' stream of this message board. You can always just search my out on youtube under: calaeb. Looking forward to perusing the conversations on this site!!

I'm Carl. I live in the US. I'm 30. I've been watching American soaps since I was in my early teens, at least those are my first memories of watching soaps. I have blurry memories of Santa Barbara as a child.
I've lost interest in most of the American soaps. I started watching British soaps since the PBS station where I lived at the time showed Eastenders repeats. I try to keep up with most of the British soaps, although Youtube not carrying Emmerdale and Coronation Street (thanks to ITV) means watching those shows is more difficult.
Thanks to Youtube and to the wonderful Deniz/Roman website I have started paying more attention to the German soaps.
My favorite soap is Hollyoaks. I started watching because of John Paul and Craig, but now I care more about other characters. I still have some residual affection for John Paul, when they bother to write for him.

Hello everyone! My name's Rob, and I'm a graduate student in Canada. Really the only soap I follow is Verbotene Liebe (and Battlestar Galactica if you consider it a soap too--that Jamie Bamber is such a dreamboat! ;D). Several of the other soaps on this site look quite interesting, but I'm worried I'd have no time left for anything else if I followed them all. I'd like to add my thanks to all you very talented German and English speakers for your generosity and hard work on the subtitling, and to everyone who helps bring these great queer stories to the world!

Call me Elloreigh.
I'm in the United States, living with my partner in the state of Michigan. We've been together about 7-1/2 years.
Daytime shows: I watched ATWT until recently. Now I'm just watching the YouTube clips from Verbotene Liebe. Have watched some of the Deniz & Roman story in clips from AWZ. I studied German my first two years of college, but that was 25 years ago so I appreciate the work that others have done subtitling the clips.
Other shows: Medium, Dr. Who, Torchwood, both Stargate series, Eureka. My partner watches Brothers & Sisters.
Other YouTube faves: The Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre.
