For those, who don't know: She's playing Vivien Lassner in the show, Ringo's sister in law. Thanks. I initially thought she was the woman Ringo is in story with at present.

For those, who don't know: She's playing Vivien Lassner in the show, Ringo's sister in law. You are wrong. He is now adopted from Benedict Huber. He is now a part from the Huber Family. Officially he has nothing to do with Tobias and Vivien as a Family.

Ringo and Tobias are still brothers in every sense of the word, except maybe the strictly legal one. They act like brothers and still call each other brother.
After Tobias was saved from his kidnappers and learned, that Julius was back with Easy and Ringo, he happily said, that the family is back together (meaning Easy, Ringo and Julius). The relieved Ringo added, that the whole family is back together, therefore including Tobias' in this and even calling him "Bruderherz" (dear brother") in this scene. This was after the Huber adoption.
The fact that Ringo got himself adopted by Benedikt to secure his share of Huber Bau doesn't change anything between Tobias and Ringo. Neither from Tobias' point of view, nor Ringo's, nor the soap's depiction of their relationship. If anything, they have grown closer together in recent time after lots of drama for both characters.
So if they are still brothers in the legal sense is of no importance whatsoever for the show.

Current status: The good news for Ringo and Easy first (and there aren't many for their relationship): After it has been delayed two times for different reasons, the adoption of their foster son Julius has finally taken place. You can see a few clips of the adoption scenes here, though untranslated as of yet: www.tumblr.com/blog/view/drea-46 It are the clips from the episode from June 15th 2022 and right now the most recent ones. Scenes depict Ringo, Easy, Julius, Tobias and Benedikt, who is trying to polish Huber Bau's name by creating some positive headlines about the company's diversity, portraying himself as open minded and helpful to the community. Ringo and Easy have agreed to a homestory because a.) to help Dominic and b.) because Benedikt actually helped them adopting Julius this time by using his connections. However: Right before the adoption, Ringo and Easy find out, that it was actually Benedikt, who secretly outed Dominic to the press just in order to get his diversity campaign started. At the same time Easy and Ringo learn the truth, Benedikt uses Cecilia as a scapegoat, because Dominic and Eva are on his tails. After learning about Cecilia being suspected, Easy wants to tell the truth in order to clear her name and because he thinks Dominic deserves the truth, while Ringo is afraid of the consequences for Huber Bau and offers Cecilia money, if she takes the blame. Cecilia eventually takes the money and "confesses" with Easy bursting in the room blaming Benedikt. Rest are spoilers from episodes that haven't aired yet, and therefore of course less detailed: Since Eva and Dominic do not find out about Benedikt's role in Dominic's outing for a few weeks, it looks like they are going to believe Cecilia's story. Why and how is not clear. But the whole episode leads to a serious row between Ringo and Easy, which ends up with Easy growing closer to Simon; and Ringo actually sleeping with Cecilia in the sauna. It looks like the sex between them will remain a ONS (it definitely is as far as the spoilers go) with Ringo seemingly crushing Cecilia's hopes rudely, when she hopes for more. However, it seems to have consequences in more than one way. First of all: Ringo confesses the truth to Easy, who is understandably angry and hurt. And Easy not only seriously questions their marriage but also gives in to Simon. Ringo wants to fight for his marriage, but we'll see if this works. This pic is from the scene, in which he learns that Easy had sex with Simon. I have no idea why they put actor Teglat Kas Hana, who plays Simon, in this ghastly outfit. He's quite good loking in real life, IMO: http://instagr.am/p/CaqIP5KoFHo And second: This is still just speculation, but it looks very possible, that @sonnenstern is right and little Ringo is on their way. Nicolas Puschmann is back in his minor recurring role as a gynecologist. We do not know, if his scenes involve Cecilia, it can still be for any other character. But add to this, that the sex between Ringo and Cecilia is in the sauna, where they probably met by coincidence and Ringo likely didn't take a condom with him. Also, there seems to have been a scene shot involving Carina Koller (who plays Cecilia), Lars Steinhöfel, Timothy Boldt and a baby buggy. Even if Cecilia really is pregnant, it's of course way too early for a buggy. But the role had some daydreams recently, and it might just be one of them, after she got the diagnosis. So, IMO, it's really looking in this direction. By the way, I hope you don't mind these longer summaries in here. I thought they might be better than nothing, given that there aren't any translated clips.

So, current situation: After Ringo cheated on him with Cecilia, Easy threw him out of their flat and short time later consoled himself with Simon. Depending on who you ask from the fans, Simon is either a nice and helpful guy who is good for Easy, or a manipulative playboy who knows exactly which buttons to press to get some. The authors probably meant to portray him somewhere inbetween these two extremes. Though I personally am leaning towards possibility number 2. For me, it seems like every word he says has the ultimate goal to get into Easy's pants. This already started before Ringo cheated. And there's the fact that he gave Ringo a devious little grin, when Ringo learned that Simon and Easy actually did sleep with each other. Which of course does not mean, that Simon doesn't like Easy or isn't helpful to him. He does and he is. And I actually quite like him as a character. He gives Ringo someone new to cross swords with and sees eye to eye with him. One cannot deny, that he has some very good points by telling Ringo that everything is Ringo's own fault and he doesn't deserve Easy anyway. But Simon is just shady enough not to be completely on his side either and to root for Ringo, if you want to. His outfit is still horrid, though. What were the people doing the costuming thinking? http://instagr.am/p/Cf6VRMGNdkq In the most recent episode, Ringo tried to bribe Simon into leaving Easy for good. Sadly, Simon is indeed on his way out, though probably not because of the bribery. His rivalry with Ringo is my favourite part of the storyline at the moment, and I think they could have developed it a bit further. But Easy is cutting contact with him, soon. Why exactly is still unclear. On the plus side, Easy and Ringo are getting closer to each other again, though it still seems to be on a shaky foundation. Also, Cecilia is indeed expecting Ringo's Baby, which as of now, nobody knows. This includes Cecilia herself, because she and her mother accidentaly switched their pregnancy tests (don't ask) and now the mother believes, that she's pregnant.

As mentioned, Tommy Kas Hana's guest stint is finished, and he has left the show. I find this a bit of a pity, as I think the rivalry between Simon and Ringo was the most potentially interesting part of this storyline, and they could have done more with it. Ringo and Easy have made up with neither one knowing, that Cecilia is expecting Ringo's child. But after the pregnancy test switch at least Cecilia by now knows the truth and wants to abort the baby. Also on his way out, at least for a while, is Paul Eilert, who plays Ringo and Easy's foster son Julius. Julius goes the way (and the following is no exaggeration) every single German soap-kid in his age group, that I remember, went to: To a boarding school. The reason in all of these cases was real life school, but these characters also all returned sooner or later, in many cases played by the same actor. So if Unter uns continues to exist and Ringo and Easy continue to be part of the show, chances are high, that Julius will return as well. Maybe until then he'll can do a few guest appearances as well. In spite of me not really being surprised for reasons mentioned above, and in spite of Julius appearing irregularly anyway, I'm going to miss him as well. I really liked Julius as a character. He was neither your run of the mill teen nor a horrible brat, but a character on his own. Socially awkward, a tech-nerd and somewhat reclusive, but with quite a sarcastic sense of humor and a trickster, if he wants to. I think casting Paul Eilert with his eye-catching flaming red hair, helped making him stand out as well. In other news, Timothy Boldt this year won the annual Unter uns star poll in the category best male actor. It's a poll from the biggest Unter uns fansite, who for this annual poll is working together with the official production (normally, they are independent), with 46.000 users participating this time. Here are the top 5 from each category: unter-uns-fanclub.de/2022/08/08/unter-uns-starwahl-2022-das-ergebnis/The categories in order are: 1.) Best female actor (main cast) 2.) Best male actor (main cast) 3.) Best recurring cast member 4.) Best guest star (won by Jo Weil) 5.) Best music guest 6.) Sexiest female 7.) Sexiest male 8.) Best female character 9.) Best male character 10.) Best couple 11.) Best friends 12.) Best storyline

Current status, and it are not good news if you like the pairing: Ringo and Easy are separated and IMO it looks like they will be for at least quite a while. I don't see a reunion in the foreseeable future. On the other hand, I consider a "foreseeable" future in soaps at most four to five months or so, because one never know what happens then with the storylines. But as it is right now, they are going separate ways. Though both are still part of the show, and it seems that this is not going to change either.
The story in a nutshell is, that they tried to mend their relationship and were on a good way. Cecilia did not want to get the baby. She decided not to abort it but give it to Ringo and Easy after the birth. However, she lost it while Ringo was in London. Easy did not dare to tell him on the phone, and Ringo made plans for the future. He is angry Easy for not telling him earlier and shuts himself totally off. And according to spoilers, this is not going to change. Ringo will leave Easy and focussing solely on the business.
In somewhat more psoitive news: Since the character went to the boarding school, Paul Eilert, who plays Ringo and Easy's son Julius, has already made a guest appearance and it is known that he will make a second one soon. So one can assume that he remains part of the show as well.

In November, Unter uns is celebrating their 7000th episode. For the jubilee, they made some new promo pics, including some couples and including Easy and Ringo, inspite of them actually going separate ways in the show right now (well almost, see spoiler section). This may be a good sign for the long run. Right now, Ringo is as nasty/evil as he hasn't been for quite a while. He's completely shutting himself off, making crooked business and is scheming in many different directions. He's not scheming against Easy, but he has moved out of their flat and is totally blocking him off, believing (or wanting to believe) that he does not need anybody. It's quite obvious that this is more of how Ringo wants to become than how he really feels, because he has been deeply injured and never wants this to happen again. However, it needs to be said that Ringo, as much as I love him, behaves terribly right now and Easy shouldn't forgive him too soon and easily. And I'm convinced, he won't. They (probably literally) bump into each other on carnival, which ends up with them having sex. However, Ringo leaves right after, which actually seems to be the final straw for Easy for distancing himself from Ringo as well. The very latest spoilers for the jubilee week indicate Ringo may be at least somewhat shaken in his behaviour soon. But I'm sure that by then it will be to late to mend any bridges easily. As for the jubilee, after having been married, divorced and then become a couple again, it will consist of the second wedding of Sina and Bambi. However, since soap weddings hardly go down all that smooth, it has already been spoiled, that there will be some kind of crisis during the reception, possibly involving a shooting caused by character's Stella Richter's crazy ex-boyfriend.

Maybe some will appreciate this. Definitely do - I very much regret that he (and Paco) are the only characters who've never appeared naked on this show.

So current situation: Not the best if you like Ringo and Easy as a couple, though I have to admit, as someone who loves evil Ringo, I get a kick out of his current behaviour. He is antagonising literally everyone. As mentioned, Easy and Ringo ran into each other on carnival and had sex. On this tumblr account near the top are a few gifs post coitus with both shirtless, (though still somewhat covered): www.tumblr.com/magnolianick The harmony only lasted a few moments longer, though, until Ringo realised, that this wasn't part of his plan to focus solely on business. He leaves soon after. Though it is quite obvious that he still cares about Easy (see also later stuff in this text), but wants to surpress his feelings. Easy among with the other guests was taken hostage at Sina and Bambi's wedding by a psychopath, who tries to force his former girlfriend to marry him instead. It's a very small group of guests, but to be fair, this was explained within the show, with it being a very spontaneous wedding. The drama ended with both Jakob Huber and the psychopath gravely injured, though both surviving. Ringo of course wasn't invited. But this gave us a scene with him hearing what happened, not knowing who was among the injured and sneaking around Easy's flat under a pretext, to see if Easy made it home well. This tumblr blog has pics of Ringo hugging Easy in relieve, when he realised, Easy was well. Though it turned out to be a fantasy scene of Ringo's: www.tumblr.com/missringsyAs for Ringo's current plots: He unsuccessfully tried to get his rival and former one night stand Cecilia out of Huber Bau. Also, Benedikt, who still tries to get good press for Huber Bau, is angry that Ringo had separated from Easy. Benedikt wants him as a poster boy for Huber Bau's "diversity", and it doesn't fit his plans, that Ringo wants to divorce Easy. So he sidelined Ringo on purpose (basically as a punishment for Ringo not being the good gay son) and instead took Cecilia to a very important meeting. Out of revenge, Ringo has drugged Benedikt, putting him in bed next to a prostitute and plans to blackmail him with pics, probably wanting the majority of Huber Bau's shares. It didn't go quite as planned, though, because much to Ringo's annoyance, his accomplice gave Chris' Weigel (Cecilia's father) the drugs as well, making Chris believe he cheated on his wife and actually "confessing" everything. Also, Ringo has bought the garage from Bambi, while Bambi believed that he was deadly ill. After learning that he's in fact healthy, Bambi wants the garage back, but Ringo only agrees to do so if Bambi pays twice the price he payed him. Ringo wants to make a loft out of the garage. However, someone is going to set the building on fire soon, with Ringo realising that basically everyone had a motive to be the arsonist. (Probably wrongly) believing that Easy is in the burning building, Ringo with Tobias actually runs in to find him.

While one could watch the jubilee on the streaming platform already last week, it aired in TV this week. For the event, RTL/UFA put the promotion machine for Unter uns on a higher gear again, both online and on a daily basis in their most successfull boulevard-newsshow "Punkt 12" (Twelve o'Clock). Yesterday, the whole promotion stuff was about Ringo and Easy, including an interview with both Lars Steinhöfel and Timothy Boldt and a clip broadly summarising their storyline so far. Afterwards Timothy was a guest in the studio, though not with Lars but with Jens Hajek, who plays Benedikt Huber. I had severe doubts only a few weeks ago if they would continue Ringo/Easy as a couple. But with that much promotion about just them, I'm inclined to say, they will or at least are testing the reactions. Particularly since the storyline in the jubilee really didn't make this necessary. In the whole storyline, Ringo had exactly two scenes (learning about what happened and checking if Easy was okay/having a daydream of making up with him) and while Easy was among the hostages, he didn't have any particularly outstanding moments this time either. As a comparison: The only other couple, who got a similar amount of promotion this week were Sina and Bambi. And they actually got married during the jubilee. Though I'm not sure how to feel about it, if it happens. Ringo is lots of fun right now, but it's nasty fun, and I hope Easy doesn't take him back that easily. The clip including the interview and some Ringo/Easy highlight scenes can be seen here: www.rtl.de/cms/unter-uns-traumpaar-blickt-zurueck-auf-die-schoensten-liebesszenen-lars-kuesst-sehr-gut-5017750.htmlThe stuff is of course mostly trivial. It's a promotion for a daily soap in a boulevard show after all. They showed some Ringsy scenes from the soap and also mentioned their real life partners Dominic Schmitt and Sharon Berlinghoff. Lars and Timothy looked back at the beginning of their series relationship. They mentioned, that Easy once wants was a womanizer, and Lars described his surprise, when his bosses told him that they want to go in a different direction with Easy. Side note: In another interview, he was quite open about the fact, that he was sceptical, when he heard about Easy being gay for the first time. He was afraid, that the character would become to much like him. Though he also said, that he genuinely liked the Easy coming out storyline, the relationship with Ringo and them adopting a child. He also said, that he and Timothy have become best buddies and almost like brothers, and that the thought of making out with him was a bit odd because of this in the beginning. I believe this to be true, because both of them have shown on social media pics with them hanging out and doing stuff together, long before their characters became a couple and indeed almost right from the moment, when Timothy joined the show. In addition he mentioned his favourite fan moment. A fan wrote to him, that he was homosexual himself, but that his family wasn't thrilled about it. But the grandparents watched Unter uns, liked the Ringo/Easy-relationship and started to accept his sexual orientation as well. Timothy had much less to say in the interview, maybe because he was in the studio afterwards. Though this interview was only in a bit part about Ringo and Easy and more about work on set in general and Ringo's odd love/hate-relationship with his adopted father Benedikt. As for newest spoilers: It seems that Ringo and Easy are in for a nasty surprise, when it turns out, that none other than their son Julius is the one who set the garage on fire. The aftermath of this will have Easy and Ringo team up again to deal with this, though in which way is not yet known. For Ringo especially it seems to be an incisive moment.
Julius came to them as a twelve years old about two and a half years ago. His parents died in a car crash, and having been sent back from several foster families, he was a total introvert and loner. He's also very clever, a computer nerd and hacker, who, having lived with Ringo and Easy for barely a few weeks at that time, used Easy's name to play the stock market online and cashed in big. The parallels should be obvious. And indeed it were their similarities that drew Ringo and Julius together and making Ringo the first one he opened up to. He grew closer to Easy a bit later and only after realizing, that in spite of Julius making life difficult for Easy, Easy was worried about him and did not want to send him back to orphanage like the other families.
Julius as a character since then has always toed the line between an introverted but generally nice kid with a sneaky sense of humour and someone with just enough of a hint of something a bit darker in him. When Benedikt tried to frame Ringo for his tax fraud, Julius was the first one who had the idea to drug him to get a confession, which is what Ringo later did (and more). Julius even already bought the drugs from a dealer and put it into Benedikt's food, with Easy finding out and eating it himself, so that Benedikt didn't have to. Julius also hacked into Huber Bau's security account and locked Benedikt in the building to teach him a lesson. He also threatened his mobbers with a knife (though this was kind of in self defense) and managed to outwit the series' biggest and most important psycho villain Rolf Jäger not once but twice to safe himself and the other Schillerallee kids from Rolf's clutches.
Stuff like this keeps the character open for several directions, which I think is what the authors are aiming for, with him being Ringo's son. Though it needs to be said, that with Paul Eilert becoming 15 in January and Julius mostly being on a boarding school, the character has way to few screentime to significantly develop in any directions in the foreseeable future. It also needs to be said, that this summary makes him sound worse than he is, because this is stuff sprinkled in between the vast majority of time, when he is just a normal kid. But it's there and it has been sprinkled in consistently.
With Julius now setting a fire in the garage, Ringo seems to see some of their darker parallels clearer than ever. And according to spoilers it leads to him actually stopping some of his schemes and trying to be a somewhat decent human being again, because he is worried about how his behaviour influences Julius. Though we'll see how long this phase stays, once Julius is gone back too boarding school after Christmas break.

Thanks ronweasley for the new spoilers - definitely interesting. It's no secret I prefer dark Ringo more and I think the new angle for Julius is a good twist. I'm surprised they killed off Ringo's baby, I thought for sure they would have him and Easy parent a kid from infancy so kudos for surprising me. Now that you mention Lars and Timothy being good friends in real life, it makes sense why both characters get much "sexier" scenes when they're with other people, LOL. I can't deny that it's one reason I'm behind this breakup because hopefully it will allow them both to have more sexy times. (Is it just me or are those scenes in much shorter supply these days? I remember a time when they would regularly have Tobias or Bambi naked.)

I'm not sure why they show less sexier scenes between RIngo and Easy than between them and other characters. It can't be because of the same sex relationship (thankfully), because both had bed scenes with other men as well. If I would have to guess (and it's just that), I think it's because they decided to portray the relationship between Ringo and Easy more from a romantic and less from a sexual point of view. Though if this is indeed the reason, I also think they went overboard with it.
The sex scenes are generally much less in recent times, yes. This is due to the pandemic. Actors had to keep distance for basically two years for safety reasons. That there are different corona regulations per German state didn't make it easier either. For example, Northrhine Westphalia, were Unter uns and Alles was Zählt are shot, had somewhat stricter rules than Berlin and Brandenburg, where GZSZ is shot, which is why GZSZ was allowed to show closer contact between the actors earlier again.
In between 2020 and early 2022 Unter uns made only one exception and showed a sex scene between Vivien and Tobias. This was Vivien's first time having sex again after being raped and going through a trauma, and the production thought it necessary to show this. Both actors went into quarantine to do this scene.
Scenes with closer contact are again allowed since summer 2022. But the one with Ringo and Easy making out on the couch and later lying semi-naked in each other's arms is probably the closest the show had to a sex scene since then. Or at least the closest I saw.

As already mentioned in the spoilers, Julius was the one responsible for the fire in the garage. In an additional twist, that was not yet spoiled, it turned out to have been an accident. However, in order to get Ringo's attention, Julius claimed to have done it on purpose. I really enjoyed this story. They set it up as a mini-whodunnit with several red herrings, including Easy and Ringo himself (the later to possibly get money from the insurance company). Though it was solved after three episodes, so the emphasis is indeed on "mini". The whole thing brought Easy and Ringo a step closer to each other again, particularly after they heared Julius' confession. But also prior, when Tobias told Easy, that Ringo ran in the burning building to search for Easy and got a minor smoke poisoning. Also Unter uns put a Christmas themed trailer for the upcoming weeks on Facebook today. It features Ringo heavily and indeed gives away quite a bit. Though some at least some stuff in this trailer is also misleading. Some of these scenes already aired on RTL+ and were not exactly the way it seemed to be on the trailer. Among them is the scene between Cecilia and Julius, which is not, as the teaser's context IMO implies, about Julius forgiving Ringo, but about Julius being afraid that Ringo won't forgive him for the "arson". Another one is the guy (David) saying, that one should think about, what Christmas really is about. He's not actually wanting to raise Christmas spirits and peace and goodwill, but he's trying to suck up to Tobias' wife Vivien, with whom he's secretly in love. Still, the general romantic/Christmasy tone of this trailer is unmistakable, as really is Ringo's Grinch/Scrooge-plot. The link to the trailer is here: I'm sorry, I thought it would appear here as a video. www.facebook.com/unteruns/videos/1322490048586643Edit: Here's a short version of the trailer. It includes the stuff that I colored red in the translation below. http://instagram.com/p/Cl59-a0sP4C Translation (and if it's a bit clunky, this is mostly because of me. But the general meaning of the dialogue is correct): Paula: Who has lost this one? Eva: Bonjour! I'm back again. Cecilia: Ringo is your dad, and you are family. And you know what's the best thing about family? One forgives each other everything. Monika: I still have a lot of things to do. And I thought, if I'm already here, I can play Christmas angel. I think it would be great if everybody would celebrate together today. That's why I ordered Christmas cookies in the bakery - for the whole house. Theo: Cilly and I are friends, and I want it to stay that way. Paula: If you don't get it done, because you are to cowardly, I take it into my hands. Chris: Very nice. Britta: I'm glad, that you like it. It was very important for me, that we have a Christmas tree again, especially because of the children. David: Sadly, we have realised, that Christmas has become less and less the time of love. Ringo: Is that the reason, why you came here? To tell me again, what kind of asshole I am? Julius: No, I wanted to ask you, if you could come over to sing with us. Lulu: This is Christmas. Nobody is alone, everybody is sitting at the same table. Julius: Christmas is family time. And we are not complete without you. Lulu: It's a present. The most beautiful present of them all. David: And because we want to make it better, we ask you to think about what Christmas really is about. Ringo: Hi. Easy: Hello. David: It's about making other people happy. Sina: Robert would be proud of you.Lulu: If the Christ child could fulfill, one more wish, then it would be that Bambi wakes up and can return home. Maya (the child's voice): We won't stop singing until this happens. Ringo: Don't give up on us.

Jo Weil is returning to Unter uns. He already started shooting, and according to the press release will have his first appearance onscreen next February: www.rtl.de/cms/jo-weil-kommt-zurueck-zu-unter-uns-5018807.htmlNot much else is known, including how long he'll stay and if he will be main cast this time or not. I believe it will be a short time guest appearance, but this is just my speculation based on the following stuff, and this could totally be wrong: German Newspaper "Bild" wrote, that Claudelle Decker, who plays bitchy lawyer Eva Wagner since 2001, will leave the show. "Bild" is a tabloid, comparable to the British "Sun", but their informations about the Daily Soaps are normally spot on. When they write some casting news about GZSZ, SWZ and UU, they are in 99% of the cases correct. Eva is the girlfriend of Jo Weil's character Dominic. After they moved together to Brussels, the character has returned without Dominic, though they are still a couple. My assumption (and it's just that) is that Dominic's return will lead to Eva's farewell and they will move away together.

Post by ronweasley on Jan 6, 2023 14:21:55 GMT -5
Someone started putting up clips on vk as well: vk.com/video/@ringoflamingoFirst they reuploaded their old clips and then continued with the new stuff from this week. There's a three years gap between the wedding and this years episode, but the newest video is from the episodes, that aired this week. They did not upload every scene from the week with Easy and Ringo but focused on the ones, that are important for them as a couple. The other stuff from the past weeks and this week in a nutshell, which may also help you understand some of the stuff: As I mentioned earlier, Ringo schemed against Benedikt, because Benedikt basically punished him for not playing the good gay son in public and pitted him up against Cecilia. Hoping he would help him gain power, Ringo joined forces with a corrupt politician who was also a business partner of Huber Bau. However, it turned out that the politician was using Huber Bau to build a social settlement on a contamined environment. When Ringo and Benedikt found out, that toxic waste was buried under the estate, they tried to get out of the deal and stop the project without losing money. So they worked together again. They set up a trap for the politician and succeeded, bringing the scandal to light and at the same time getting Huber Bau out of the line of fire (deservedly so, as they both were innocent this time). They made up again with both apologizing to the other one. The rest should be easy to understand and is in the video. Also, Ringo gave back the garage to Bambi and lived in a hotel. Edit: The whole video is about Ringo trying to make atonement. Personally, I prefer him as the fun and nasty git he was in the couple of months prior to this. But those who like nicer Ringo will probably appreciate this.

A short update: As posted above, Ringo and Easy made up at the beginning of February. Since then, they mostly appeared in a supporting role in other characters' stories. The one storyline, that was mostly about them, was Julius being thrown out of the boarding school. I did not expect this at all, I was sure he would stay away in boarding school and they explain his absence this way. But he's back, though of course (given Paul Eilert's age) he still appears unregularly. Anyway, this mini-story lasted for like three episodes, two were about Julius being thrown out of the boarding school/moving back to Cologne and one about some other (harmless) trouble with him. Other than that, Easy and Ringo appear in supporting roles in several other storylines, involving Cecilia, Bambi, Benedikt, Paco and Tobias respectively. Tobias currently lives in Ringo and Easy's flat, because his marriage with Vivien is in a serious crisis and the boardinghouse, where he wanted to rent a room, didn't accept dogs. So it's rather full in the flat with both Julius and Tobias having moved in. But all in all Ringo and Easy's role in this story is comparatively small and basically consists of some talks between Tobias and one or both of them (mostly Easy). Ringo has a similar role for Paco in a love-triangle storyline that most of the time bores me. The meatier parts for Ringo and Easy are in the other three stories. Since Benedikt and Ringo teamed up against the politician (see two posts above) they are closer than they have been for a very long time. Ringo is currently basically leading HuberBau alone, because Benedikt was in Uruguay seaching for Ute's missing daughter Matilda. [Long story shortened and very simplified: Maja is not really Ute's daughter. The babies were switched in the hospital. Though when the truth came out, neither mother wanted to lose the child, that they raised, and Christin, the other mother, left with Matilda for Uruguay.] Christin and Ute stayed in contact, though, but now Christin is very ill and she and Matilda have gone missing in Uruguay. To help Ute, Benedikt started a search for them, using money from Huber Bau. But it took that long and Benedikt used that much money, that HuberBau is barely liquid anymore. Ringo is aware of this and has to deal with the consequences basically alone. Before this started, Huber Bau got some big project from the state of Northrhine-Westphalia, for which they are working together with Dominic (Jo Weil's character) again. But now they basically can't stem it anymore financially, and Ringo made Dominic the offer to put his money into HuberBau and in exchange get some big amount of the company's shares. With Benedikt having returned in the most recent episode (with Ute's daughter, by the way), this should come into focus soon, especially because Ringo wants Benedikt to be the one to sell his shares to Dominic which it seems Benedikt is really going to do, because Dominic's money indeed was the only way to save the company . Cecilia's mother died due to the consequences of a tick bite. Because she's grieving and because she had a serious fall out with her father, Cecilia is currently basically pushing everyone away. Ringo recognised his own behaviour in her and tried to make her see sense (so far, in vain). He has a rather small role in this story, but the scenes he has, basically telling Cecilia not to made the same mistakes he made, are pretty good. Easy and to a slightly lesser extent Ringo play a somewhat bigger role in a storyline with Bambi, who got influenced and manipulated by some conspiracy theorists. This is both the most bonkers but at the same time uncomfortably realistic story in Unter uns right now. It started with Bambi being understandably and somewhat justifyingly worried for his family's safety. But while trying to make their lives a bit safer, he got in contact with the wrong persons, who manipulate him quite easily by playing on his fears. Mike, the leader of this group is basically the sort of person, who seem to pop up more and more in recent times, particularly on the internet and in the last few years: Very right wing and spreading fear and prejudices in a semi-subtle way. He's also a homophobe, which is how Easy got involved, though never going to far, just making a few disparaging comments here and there. Bambi got more and more paranoid during this story, leading to a scene, in which he almost stabbed Ringo with a big knife, because he thought he was a burglar and another, in which he parroted Mike's prejudices (calling Easy useless, because Easy has "decided not to take part in procreation"). The friendship between Easy and Bambi got seriously strained because of all of this, still Easy tries to help Bambi getting away from Mike's influence.

ronweasley thank you for keeping us updated. The conspiracy/homophobia story is something more soaps should tackle, although most of them would do a poor job.
