I just posted the episode after the famous "campfire" one, and people, this one is amazing. I can't wait for you all to see it and would love to hear thoughts on it. I think it's one of , if not, the best pre-boxing kiss episodes. Here's a link since I can't figure out how to embed this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKCT98IuoiU

I gotta say, for a soap opera, they really got a great shot of the lake and mountains.
And three guesses everybody what exactly Oliver was dreaming about ;p
(when he comes out of the cabin he says he dreams "weird stuff" under the influence of the "Feuerzangenbowle" and after that he looks immediately at Christian. )

Thanks for the tutorial Wolfie! Lolaruns, yeah I liked the outdoor scenery too, but my favorite thing besides Christian deciding to go sit by Oli, would be all the symbolism in the episode. Fire, Buried Hatchet (Axe), Broomsticks hitting each other.

I actually asked the same question in the latest clip thread but nobody could help me there. And three guesses everybody what exactly Oliver was dreaming about ;p I think it might have something to do with Christian and eating bananas. ;D

Me, too Lola.
Seriously. The season finale of Make Me A Supermodel aires on Thursday night, while on Friday night, we've got the Torchwood season 2 finale, the final season of Battlestar Galatica begins on the Sci-Fi channel and then we have Christian finally allowing himself to deal with his desire and romantic feelings for Oliver earlier in the evening.

Just read this on the blog: THORE SCHOELERMANN LEAVES VERBOTENE LIEBEThore Schoelermann will leave the cast of VERBOTENE LIEBE. He's been portraying Christian Mann since 2006, a part that has gained him worldwide attention through the on-screen relationship with co-star Jo Weil's character Olli. His decision came as a shock to the production team. Thore wants to focus on his boxing career in the future. The last episode featuring him will air on Das Erste on June 6, 2008.

They totally got me too for a second. Mostly because it is true. I get the impression that the actor contracts are probably for three years or so and he has already been on two years, right? So I am worried And some other actors I liked have left shows I liked recently so my first gut reactions was "No, that is SOOOOOO my bad luck, why does it always happen to me" Fingers crossed that it won't end up being true. Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease

I expect just about every young male actor playing a gay character to leave sooner than later. In addition to some of these guys being uncomfortable with their gay roles, they don't want to be type casted if they have ambition to work on other more high profile acting projects.

Particularly on German soaps that seems to be the norm though. Almost every German produced show is a mess if you look at it because you constantly have people entering and exiting the casts even if the show is successful. I'm guessing it's because they must hand out shorter contracts.
One of the most popular Austiran shows was Komissar Rex about a police dog and they had three different male leads in 4 seasons despite the fact that they clearly didn't want that. It's pretty much the same with nearly every popular tv show. On some shows they invest all their money to keep paying the lead actor (like Bulle from Tölz) and therefore constantly have to keep changing the supporting casts.
The official description of Verbotene Liebe on wikipedia says:
So they are constantly writing families in and out, in a much faster rotation than it would be on a US soap.
I'm sure many gay playing actors want to leave after their contracts are up but so do any non gay playing actors it seems.
If you look at the cast list you can see how many of the characters are long term players: Olivia Dec 2006, Katja Jan 2008, Ansgar Jan 2004, Judith Feb 2008, Carla Sep 2003, Fabian Feb 2008, Lisa April 2005, Gregor Feb 2005, Sarah Juli 2006, Sebastian Nov 2007, Leonhard Mar 2004, Constantin Dec 2004 etc...
There are some characters who are returns (like Oliver and Tanja), but other than that the only old timers who have been on for many years are the old actors like Aunt Charlie and Arno. The rotation on German soaps is crazy.
Ergh, and I went hopelessly off topic.

I appreciate the heads up, lola. This way, I'm prepare for heartbreak with Thore and/Jo leave. Is AWZ the same way? I can't imagine Igor (Deniz) staying there very long.

Well, the show only started in 2006, so we don't really know what their structure is going to be. And Igor just joined, so I would expect his contract to run a while longer. And DG has said that he could see himself staying longer on a soap. Again, nobody knows the future.
