There is an interview today with James at AfterElton. He pretty much confirms the tragedy without actually saying it's gonna happen.
AE: Then can you give us anything about what happens with Craig when he comes back? JS: Well, he comes back and we meet up and John Paul is not very pleased to see him because of the way they left it at the airport. And he comes back into John Paul’s life and some terrible things happen to John Paul and his life and Craig is there to comfort him and that’s all I can say.
Depressing. But...what can you do?
Looks like all the gay will soon be out of HO. Well, there will be the one character but they never give him front page storylines.

The ending Nuke scene of yesterday's episode would have had so much more power for them as a couple if the rest of the Nuke scenes hadn't been so God awful stupid. The recruiters were idiots. The exchange in the signing office was suppose to be meaningful and socio-political but it ended up not making sense. Noah's justification for joing just got more and more stupid with each word. "It's just a few years..." Whatever...

Today's episode was a deeply satisfying Roman episode...not so statisfied on the Deniz side.
I'm so glad that Roman has said he's had enough AND that he also clued in Mr. Clueless about how he feels. I loved how he blew off Deniz at the end when he waved. I'm very very glad he turned down the offer to go on the trip. I hope this is a turning point and that Roman has moved on and will find someone who cares.
But Deniz again has walked away unharmed and unchanged. I don't think his feeling for Roman are any deeper. Even after Roman declaring his love the first thing he mentions is his feeling for Vanessa. He'll just continue on...he'll have a good time in Monte Carlo and when he gets back he'll continue to party, get laid and have no trouble finding a place to live. At least he won't have Roman to shit all over.

People here and at other boards have me VERY confused. Has the storyline of Father Hobbs being killed been confirmed? People are talking in absolutes now...like it's been revealed that this is where the story is going.
Nialls is going to kill him in some strange protective move.
What's going on?

The caps: No complaints on VL's choice of shirt for Olli today. Not one!

So, I guess the spoiler where Kieron announced he was leaving the church was actually for today's episode, not last week's post public outing, right? Yes. That happened today.

I knew this was gonna happen as soon as I read the official word that James was leaving. My heart is no longer in HO. I felt it while I watched today's clip. The spoilers didn't ruin anything for me and neither did the speculation. But now that it's official, I'm not excited. It's the fact that an obvious end is in site. A slow train ride through a predictable countryside as we head to endsville.
There's a minor level of wishfulness that the writers will flip the HO world around and have JP leave the show with Kieron, but I doubt it. It's gonna go to it's predictable end.
What's even more annoying to me is that after HO I'm stuck with ATWT as the only English speaking soap with a gay storyline. Neither show is as good as VL but VL is in German and although I love it, I wish I could understand every little nuance.
Ugh...it's not a good day in my soap world. I'll continue to hope with the rest of the McHobbs fans that they end up together, but I won't hold my breath.

The news of James leaving the show is what it is. At this point I'm extremely curious about Jake's future on the show. I hope he's sticking around, that is of course as long as Jake is comfortable with the role and enjoying it. If they kill Father Kieron off that would be so f'in weak.
I'm gonna try and enjoy the remainder of Jame's stay on the show...but I doubt I'll be happy with the outcome.

Hate to be a dick but Myra is not a person who should be holding anything over anybody on the grounds of moral superiority.

Question about the recap on the mainpage. It says this:
When did the bolded part happen? We watched the clips that show the whole episode and we didn't see that.

Fine, Myra is upset. She has every right to be. But what about JP, her son? She's made this whole thing about her. She's passed judgement without even knowing what is going on.
It's great that the people at the church were unphased.
Great episode. Myra needs to lighten up.

The final scene in today's episode was brutal on the heart! I loved this episode...Kieron's outing and the marriage...very good.

DRAMA!! Why oh WHY won't BBCA carry this in the states? I wanna see the episode on my TV.
Cannot wait for the next episode.
She's a bit over the top but that's why we love her. She'll come around...all will be well.

Or does this belong in Off Topic? The forum says below it "you can talk about anything here"

I love you but I'm outta here. When he says this I hope Luke just has a look of shock and confusion on his face and then shakes his head a little..."Okay Noah. I'm done. You're a mess. Buh-bye" I thought, way back when, that this joining-the-army thing was someone playing a bad joke on us. I wish Noah the best of times in Uncle Sam's don't-ask-don't-tell army. May we all rest in peace knowing that he'll be well taken care of. mattnjacob I would like to add to your line: "Okay Noah. I'm done. You're a mess. Buh-bye. Don't call, don't write." Just in case Noah is tempted to do so when he starts feeling lonely... boot camp tends to make you feel that way... I've been there. LOL...so true. I'll even add one more thing: Okay Noah. I'm done. You're a mess. Buh-bye. Don't call, don't write. Forget that we ever jumped up and down on the bed together.When Noah drops the "Don't ask, Don't...ah hell I'm done with you" storyline I wanna see Luke go bat shit crazy on him. Just let it out. "You're a gay man about to enter a military that does not respect you...have a little respect for yourself because it's obvious you've had none for me. You've done everything in the world to make sure we're not a couple. You've taken ever single opportunity to keep us apart. You'll hardly touch me. Every conversation we have is across a table or 6 feet apart. We argue for the sake of arguing because we don't communicate.
I'm done. I'm Luke dammit! I've got all this! See? *twirl* See all this? There's another guy just waiting around the corner. Trust me. There's a guy out there that will respect me and not be afraid to be himself around me. And he'd LOVE to jump up and down on the bed with me!"

Question for the long time VL viewers.
Has VL ever had non-German or minimal German speaking characters on the show? For example...have they ever done a story where a student from Italy or the UK was backpacking or studying and became involved with the show? Maybe requiring subtitles when the character spoke or a VL regular translating within the storyline.

First, thanks go out to Ivan and Nanna. You two are like our drug dealers right now...we're so addicted to this story. Few observations: - Several people have mentioned, both here and on other boards, how they didn't like Olli stepping in with Axxhole at No Limits. I don't think Olli stepped in to defend Christian. He stepped in to defend himself because I honestly think he was pissed off.
- We're okay with the beard story for right now. I don't think it went down as planned, obviously, because I think both Gregor and Olli would have liked to have cleared it with Christian first. I don't think they would ever have just sprung it on him.
- As I mentioned in the other thread. I like the amount of subtle and direct contact that Ollian have with one another. It sometimes goes unappreciated because it happens so often. I don't mean the obvious contact, I mean the little things. These two do such a good job playing a couple in love.
- I think (and I like to know what others think) that one Christian wins his fight and comes out , the boxing storyline will be over. Do you see any reason to carry it beyond this story arch?
- Won't be happy campers, not one bit, if they do a Judith gets her wires crossed and falls for Christian storyline.
- I think the fish shirt looked better in action then cropped in the photos. It certainly wasn't the best selection, but on the whole I didn't mind it. Maybe it was wardrobes way of gaying Olli up a little.
