Hope and rewatch again

Ronny Roslöf  & Pete Lattu.

If I've gotten some hope up for a Lalle reunion now when Elias is dead? Oh yes! If I'm rewatching Lalle again just because of that? Absolutely! I have to catch up with the storyline some time so why not now. And if MissFinlandia88 stops uploading ad subbing now since Elias died I will never forgive her! Even if you're not a Lalle shipper you do love Lari Väänänen don't you? And if there won't be a reunion between Lari and Kalle at least Lari could meet a new guy. But everyone nows where I stand. Even the screenwriters of Salatut Elämät now I guess!

Bye bye Elias again?

Something weird is happening on istagram. I thin I'll have to show you inte photos:

Are they serious? Is he really dead? Well, that was a twist. Ok, I have to be honest, I have been expecting it. Petteri Paavola has some kind of estate agent education ongoing and I actually think that he has seemed more and more indifferent playing Elias. And I thought someone was going to die of the gays in Salatut Elämät soon and I have to choose it has to be Elias. I did really like him before, but after Lalle, it was hard to love him again. BUT. Gay characters should never die! You know where I stand there. But what happens to Lari now? Is there any chance for Lalle again? I really hope noot that Ronny leaves to! But I don't think he will. He seems more committed to acting. And another question: who was driving the car? I it was Kalle, I will NEVER EVER watch Salatut Elämät again. Never. So, once again: thank you Petteri Paavola for theese years. I think I will miss you this time.

(Thank you salkkaritennakkoon, salsut and salkkarikuvat. I borrowed your edits on instagram).

A small secret...

Do you want to know a small secret? Actually, I haven't watched Larias, Lalle or anything of Salatut Elämät for five months! And I don't really miss it! Do you want to know why?

Ronny Roslöf & Petteri Paalova.

But it's not just that. The fact that Lari and Elias is reunited is actually the least problem, even though lots and lots of people think it's not a problem... The biggest problem which makes me want to boycott Salatut Elämät forever is that they made Kalle a wreck A really pathetic and alcoholic wreck! And I just can't stand that! Pete Lattu is an amazing actor but that doesn't really compensate it! No actor in the world could make a loveable character who is a pathetic and alcoholic wreck to be enjoyable to watch. Not even Danny Miller. So please Emmerdale, never make Aaron Dingle a pathetic and alcoholic wreck. It might be so that I won't return to SE until Kalle is in balance again. (But it seems like Lari still cares about Kalle enough to be a bit worried about him and that would at least be something, but I'm not sure about that because I don't watch it.)

Reunion #whatever!

Guess what? Just when I almost lost hope...

Pete Lattu & Ronny Roslöf.

Ok, Salatut Elämät, you can't break up Lalle again! This is ment to be! It just have to be! There's been too much of this Larias foolery already. This has to be the end game! I can't wait to watch this and I can't wait to see what Missfinlandia says about this! I mean, she can't seriously believe for a future for Larias now! I love it! The picture in the middle might be my favourite of all time. Lalle is the future! They just have to be.

Are you shitting me?!

I found this on Instagram. Is this some kind of sick joke? I am not even bothering to google translate it. They are rubbish on Finnish anyway. And Estonian. But really?! I don't think I could handle some kind of Kalias! I mean, Kalle and Elias? That is just ridiculous! Ok, they are good guys, and would probably have a good time together, but is this some kind of Hollyoaks where every gay guy have to screw one another?! I really hope it is a joke... Anyone who knows Finnish? No, really, I don't think I want to know... Come on Salatut Elämät! How much more can we handle?

Jonny Labey as Paul Coker.

And speaking of rubbish, what the hell is this?! Now when things finally are looking good for Ben and Paul. I do ship Pen quite hard, so I think it's such a waste! I like Paul Coker. I think he is a very loveable character, so this I do not approve! I read something about an explosive departure. I really hope he won't die! Because we want him to come back to Eastenders in the future, with or without Jonny Labey! And the thing with bringing back dead characters a la Bobby Ewing in Dallas, is just so old fashioned! No, this makes me really sad.

Kieron Richardson as Ste Hay.

And speaking of deaths, what's this?! I just can't take any more! Even though Ste is not my favourite person right because of that Starry twaddle, but I don't want him to die! Stop killing off all the gay characters! I am hoping for Ste to get his senses back and stop fooling around with that boring Harry. Ok, I really don't think that they will kill Ste, I mean, he is one of the Hollyoaks inventory. But he has bin in Hollyoaks for ten years now so you'll never know!

And speaking of Harry, he might have something going on with the newcomer James Nightingale, played by Gregory Finnegan. I would like that. Anything that might break up Starry is good!

Just because...

...it's monday! To bad it starts with the boring Miskias. I do not really miss Miska and Elias together in Salatut Elämät. Even though it would be good if Miskas came back and conquered Elias onc more so he will not get in the way for Lari and Kalle! Watch the video for some gallavich, Zude, Paolo & Miguel and many more!

Are you trying to kill me?!

WTF Salatut Elämät?! You sure know how to break hearts! Why are you ruining this for me? Just when we got Lalle back together we have to make Kalle unfaithful, because there are no happy gay couple anywhere so the soap operas have to reflect the reality or what?! Ridiculous! Well, at least this pleases all the Larias-shippers and Kalle-haters in the world. But, when it comes out, i has to because it is a soap opera, Lari just can't hesitate to forgive Kalle after his little slip with Elias last winter. Otherwise it's really unfair!

Greatest gift of them all

It's my birthday tomorrow and could it be so good that Salatut Elämät is giving me a Lalle reunion as a birthday gift! I really hope so! So let's do some photo bombing!

Ok, three of them are pretty much the same, but it's my blog and it's my birthday. Tomorrow... But really, if the SE writers are going to reunite Lari and Kalle for real, I am very impressed and happy! Because to me that relationship is the real deal. Larias was always to immature and teenagy. And thank you Ronny and Pete for giving us yesterdays scenes. I loved them! Pete has been great for ages, and Ronny is becoming quite a star!

OMG Lalle!

Ronny Roslöf as Lari Väänänen & Pete Lattu as Kalle Laitela.

Ok, I think I just died! And I think I actually came to heaven! Are you really going to give me this Salatut Elämät?! I don't want to believe that it is to good to be true! Watch out Larias shippers! Lalle is on a roll!

So, no Gallavich in 2016...

Noel Fisher & Cameron Monaghan.

2016 really didn't start any good... Ok, we all no that Ian dumped Mickey but when we heard that Noel Fisher was going to be in the sixth season we were kind of hoping there were going to be a future for Gallavich, anyway! And the really cute gif set with Mickey and his mis-spelled tattoo was promising. But Mickey is going to be in jail for at least eight years and it seems like Ian lied to him so let's just forget about them. I don't wantto watch Shameless any more. For real.

Ronny Roslöf & Pete Lattu.

Ok, my mobile doesn't work as it used to so you'll have to put up with some instagram screenshots. Anyway, 2016 didn't really get a flying start. But then I saw this! Look at Kalle's hand on Lari's arm! Look at it! It would really be amazing with a Lalle reunion! Give us that Salatut Elemät, if you have any decency! I don't really get the heading, because my Finnish is not that good. It is none excisting actually. But google translate told me there's something about a surprise, some entrust and an agreement! I think I like it! I am ignoring that Elias name over there...

I'm om sick leave.

Ronny Roslöf as Lari Väänänen and Pete Lattu as Kalle Laitela.

Due to heartbreak. This was the worst thing ever. My heart bleeds. Salatut Elämät, I don't like you right now. And Kristiina Pohjonen is the devil itself. 'Nough said.

Interns

What's happening i soap operas right now? Are there just interns writing the manuscrips or what?

Guy Wilson and Freddie Smith.

Let's start with Days of our lives. Well, Sonny's just left the show and it is already a rumour that he will return. And Will on his hand, will die! Why? Why make a character leave the show just to take him back when you kill of his husband? I really don't get it. An really, Will Horton is an icon in this show! Personally I like Chandler Massey better than Guy Wilson, but I was hoping for Will to be kept alive. Interns, I has to be interns...

Parry Glasspool and Kieron Richardson.

And what on earth are Hollyoaks doing? First they seperate Ste and John Paul, the married couple, who according to me are made for eachother, just to make Ste go straight and start dating Sinead, the witchy bitch, a female, and later cheat on her with Harry, the 17 year old! I just don't get it! Sinead and Harry, when John Paul is around! Please make this storyline stop soon! And I can't wait for Christmas! This storyline is just so bad and messy that it can't be anyone else than interns who writes it. The HIV-positive gay man with a girlfriend and a 17 year old lover. I mean, come on!

Ronny Roslöf and Pete Lattu.

But then there's Lalle and Salatut Elämät. I think that storyline is the worst of them all. Ok, it's not as messy as the Hollyoaks shit, but it is just so boring! I mean, we have all seen it before, and more than once! What happened to writing an own storyline instead of borrowing an old worn out storyline from Days, Hollyoaks, Eastenders etc. The list is long. Very long. And it gives me headache! It is so obvious that this baby-storyline is just a long-drawn way to get Lalle to slit up and Larias to reunite. And that is so what to expect. How about a bit of a surprise writers? How about a wedding between Lari and Kalle? How about not doing the expected? Well, ok, I didn't think so. But such a typical, old a worn put storyline can't be written by anyone but interns. So how about sacking the interns and get back in track with the storylines?

Autumn is here!

Janne, Aino and Tale.

So, bye bye Satula and well hello Salatut Elämät! And I am already irritated. I really don't like all the baby drama. It is so old with an accidently child with a gay dad as one of the main ingredients. And I just know that that will eventually lead to the break up of Lalle. So boring! And so old!

Petteri Paavola.

And also, Petteri Paavola will be back as Elias Vikstedt this fall. Blah... But he has been claiming that it will be a more mature Elias that will be returning. At least we will get that. But he has also said that there will be good times ahead for Larias fans and that there will be some delicious Larias stuff coming. I really really don't want that. But at least, Elias looks quite fresh.

Ronny Roslöf.

And speaking of fresh, how hot doesn't Ronny look in his beard?! I think Lari should have a beard. He should have a beard and Kalle as a boyfriend. And that's that!

About the blog + Lalle

When I started this blog I did it kind of as an experiment. I didn't tell any of my friends about it, I did not promote it in any way and I did start it anonymous. A couple of weeks ago I did come out of the closet on instagram though, so if my followers are smart enough, they did get what I was getting at. And I have to say that I'm overwhelmed! I have lots and lots of readers every day and I get more and more very nice comments on my posts. I think it is very interesting to see how many people have reached the blog, without not even trying! Thank you all for your support! Thank you for reading and thank you so much for all the comments! And keep commenting!

Ronny Roslöf and Pete Lattu in Salatut Elämät.

And speaking of comments. If you have been reading my blog you know that I have been going from a hardcore Larias shipper to an even more Lalle shipper! I personally think that Kalle is a much more interesting character than Elias, and I just like him more with Lari than Elias with Lari. I can't really explain it. Even though Lalle can be just as whiney as Larias. And I know that Larias has a very solid fan base, and I accept it. I get more and more that Lalle shippers are a rare strain. But me and my faghag friend can't be the only ones ut there! We can't be the only two who really really like Kalle! So if you do ship Lalle or are a bit in love with Kalle and Pete Lattu, please comment this post! We have to be visible and not sttigmataized! :)

Gays with girlfriends

What I really don't get is when out gay characters in soap operas gets girlfriends. I mean, I know all about bisexuality and pansexuality and that it doesn't always have to be black or white and some people really are just not that scrupulous. But the straight relationships including gay men in soap operas seems kind of like train wrecks.

Javier Calvo and Andrea Duro.

I mean like Fer and Yoli in Física o Química. Who came up with that smart idea? Fer had already been out quite a while and he had already been together with David for a while when he started dating Yoli of all people? Well, Fer did still love David and he really didn't like girls so that romance didn't last long. And it kind of seemed like he started dating Yoli by accident and then didn't want to disappoint her. I really don't think that is a solid band for a relationship Fortunately he got to his senses.

Pete Lattu and Jasmin Hamid.

And how about Kalle and Katariina. That was really not the most fortunate pull Salatut Elämät made. But at least they were cute. Kalle would be cute with anyone, actually. Well, I guess they just really liked eachother. But things got kind of weird when they both dated the same man, Valtteri Elovirta, who as we know ended up raped Kalle. Actually, it happens to be that Valtteri, the bastard, was Kalle's first love, and that he wasn't really a nice guy back in the days either. I wonder if Valtteri was the first guy Kalle kissed, the kiss that made the Finnish people write lots and lots of mails of complaint? Oh why can't just there be more early SE DVD's so someone, like sininentomaatti, could keep uploading Kalle's story? I also read that they show reruns of older seasons of SE during summer in Finland, but I both don't live in Finland and still don't know any Finnish so...

Rami Rusinen, Pete Lattu and Jasmin Hamid.

Anyway, there was some kind of drama between Kalle, Valtteri and Katharina and there also was some kind of sex tape and it just didn't end well. Kalle got raped for one, and the relationship between Kalle and Katariina is only a memory. But they were some kind of friends even after that Valtteri drama, even though they drifted apart.And also, it seems like Ismo bashed Valtteri (yay Ismo) and Valtteri ws sent to jail. An now Kalle is dating Lari! Oh joy!

Caroline Tillette and Nicolas Herman.

And then there's the wonderfull Nicolas and the wavy Pauline. Ok, she was quite cute but, she ws just not Thomas! Ok, so Nicolas faked his death to save Thomas, Thomas moved on and met Florian, the he discovered Nicolas was alive and both Thomas and Nicolas had angst because of one another. Nicolas was of course hoping for Thomas to still be single. But he wasn't and he did comfort himself with a girl. Logical o what? I think not! He couldn't even mange to have sex with his ex wife to conceive a baby. Well, that didn't work out, Nicolas was still sulking for Thomas and Pauline went somewhere with a new identity. That is what happens to maffia-doughters who kill their fathers. And Nicolas also kind of sucked up for Celine when she was his client. What happened to Plus Belle la Vie and what happened to Nicolas? But I still love him.

Harry Reid and Lorna Fitzgerald.

And once again, meet ben Mitchell and Abi Branning. Ben nows that he is gay, everyone else knows that he is gay, his new lover Paul nows that he is gay and I even think Abi knows that he is gay. Otherwhise she wouldn't be so suspicious of Ben and Paul. The only one who doesn't know that Ben is gay is his father Ben Mitchell. And I even think that he knows that Ben is gay, but he is in big denial. He doesn't wat a gay son and ben doesn't want to disappoint him. Kind of. So, Abi is a beard, but I think that Ben is really fond of her, that he do love her, but she just doesn't do it for him. I hope that he will ditch her soon and be with Paul full time. At least Paul seems to want that.Ad it is way to long since Eastenders had an interesting gay romance. EEven if you do count Tina's.

Stephanie Davis and Kieron Richardson.

Bläch. Ste and Sinead. That is really so low from Hollyoaks. Ste's just gay. He has been since Brendan's moustache. I just don't get it! Ok, they have a baby, ok they had sex, but how could Ste choose Sinead before John Paul? I just don't get it! Ok, John Paul dumped Ste, but that was after he had put John Paul second for so long. Sinead is just a really comfused rebound! The only comfort is that Ste will snog Harry soon and that just have to be the end oh Stinead or what they are called. And also, Stephanie Davis has been sacked from Hollyoaks so it has to end quite soon. Oh thank gods for that, because this straight romance was just a low-water mark. Even worse than Fer and Yoli! I'm even quite keen on Starry know. I can't be worse than Stinead!

Larias rewatch

Larias on the floor.

 I got inspired by my faghag friend att started rewatching Larias. And I really do enjoy it! When I discovered Elias and Lari about two years ago I got really spellbound by it! I am kind of reliving that now. Larias was actually the second longer gay storyline I watched nd that was after Fervid, my biggest crush! Larias was my runner up for quite a while. And it really is someting special about them!

Petteri Paavola and Ronny Roslöf.

And I think that's because the really special chemistry between the actors Petteri and Ronny. They have said in tínterviews that they are really good friends, the do enjoy working together and that they are working hard to get the cuddling look as natural as possible. And that is clearly showing. And it is really cozy watching this storyline again! The Finnish has really given us something special!

Elias and Lari.

And back in the days I really was rooting for Lari with Elias and I was a hardcore Larias shipper. I couldn't imagine anything else and it really broke my heart when Lari left the anti-gay camp with Elias heartbroken. There was some Larias-snogging after that which I really enjoyed, but then I came round. And with a bang!

Kristoffer, Sven-Erik and Pauli.

Ok, that actually isn't Lari, Kalle and Elias, that's Kristoffer, Sven-Erik and Pauli in Satula. And isn't it just hilarious that Pete plays Ronny's father in Satula?! The writers of Salatut Elämät has a lot of humour at least! But you already know that I, nowdays, am a real hardcore Lalle shipper, so I won't bore you with that again. But sometimes it fell like I (and my faghag friend) are the only ones in the whole world who ships Lalle? Are there any more out there?

Anyways, I am really enjoying wtching Larias right now, and I even got some Larias feels, but I know all of that will go away wheen Kalle comes along. I can't wait for that! And another joy about watching Larias again is I get some more of Kalle to. He is just so amazing!

Hotshots

There are some gay characters in soap operas that have, how to say it... quite fancy occupations! Or at least occupations where I guess being gay is not a walk in the park. Police as an example. I imagine that it is not that easy to come out as a police officer. The story of Oliver Fish in One life to live tells us that, and I do believe that it is not just fiction.

Oliver Fish.

Oliver Fish (Scott Evans) had a really hard time coming out after years and years of denial, and as he feared, his parent were not supportive at all. But as far as I can remember his collegues were alright. And he also had the support of his beloved Kyle.

Menno Kuiper.

And then we have Menno Kuiper (Dave Mantel) in Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden. He was the lover of the regular Lucas Sanders, and they even got married. But I read somewhere that Menno did beat Lucas up and then he disappeared from the series. I still haven't started with this Dutch soap, but it is my summer project, so I have to get back to you on that.

Nicolas Barrel.

And here's my sweetie Nicolas Barrel (Nicolas Herman) from Plus Belle La Vie. I just adore him! Both the character and the actor! A sweeter guy is really hard to find! He started out as a cop, and also had a hard time with his family. His collegues appreciated him a lot, but his father was a real homophobe, and we understand that Nicolas became a cop to prove his manliness to his father. Poor Nicolas. But it seems he enjoyed it anyway. Until he had to fake his death and work undercover. And then he became a lawyer instead! And after he came back to life and chocked the hell of his boyfriend Thomas, he continued working as a lawyer. I like the new Nicolas, but I kind of miss the old police-Nicolas anyway...

Florian Estève.

And speaking of men of the law, Thomas' new boyfriend after Nicolas, Florian (Franck Borde), was even a judge! But I don't really get how judges work in France. I think that he worked more as a prosecutor. He was very much out on the fields. But he was also a cutie and you can't really dislike him, even if you are Thomas/Nicolas-shipper. Florian was a really lovely guy. And also, a little bird whispered that Thomas is going to date a doctor after Florian. But I have to get back to you on that to.

Kieron Hobbs.

The most controversial character has to be Kieron Hobbs (Jake Hendriks) in Hollyoaks who was a priest. A catholic such. And as you know, they have a chastity vow. He broke that a lot of times with Jon Paul, deservedly, because later he got murdered by John Paul's half brother. At least he got some shagging before he died! And love, of course!

Kalle Laitela.

And we do have a lot of doctors. My favourite are Kalle Laitela (Pete Lattu) in Salatut Elmät. He is just such a lovely character. And he also got promoted to some kind of head physician lately. And he has got his fair share of homophobia through the years. His father, Ismo, was a real homophome back in the days and his collegues seem to be assholes! There's a lot of gossip and bullshit talk about him and his boyfriend Lari, just because Lari is a little bit younger. But that is no biggie, really!

Kai Seebach.

Another favourite is Kai Seebach (Alexander Gier) in Alles Was Zählt. He was working as a sports physician in the Steinkamp Sport and Wellness Centre and had a love story with the very closetered football player Joscha. He was just a really nice character and I do miss both him and Joscha very much! When will AWZ have a new gay storyline?!

Tom Seifert.

Another German doctor is Tom Seifert (Kay Böger) in Verbotene Liebe who used to date lli, and then dated Olli and then went back to Ulli, but after the character left the show. But we know that because we got a little sneak peak into Tom and Ulli's lives when VL had their 10th anniversery. Tom was also a really nice character who always wanted all well. From that point, I think he and Olli was very suibtable for eachother. But I am a Tulli shipper. Totally!

Dr Jo Helmke (and Olli).

And it seems like Olli has a thing for doctors, because after things went nasty with Christian Olli had a relationship with Dr Jo Helmke (Mickey Hardt). The sleazebag. I am sying that without knowing anything about him. But he looks sleazy and everyone who takes Christian's place is a sleazebag. And that's how it is.

Lucas Jones.

Last but not least we have Dr Lucas Jones (Ryan Carnes) i General Hospital. Well, he was a bit of a unnapproachable doctor, and it took a while for him to start working as one. He was whining something about not being able to be such a god a doctor as his adoptive father. Whiner. But now it's just as he has never done anything other than working as a doctor When he is not making out with Brad. Then it's just he has never done anything but that. But we don't get nough deama from this couple, I have to say. A slower storyline you have to look hard for!

John Paul McQueen.

And you also get a bonus. It might not be any status working as a teacher in Sweden (hich it should be!), but it seems that it's a little bit better in he UK. So therefor I give you John Paul McQueen (James Sutton). The teacher. And also one of my favourites. I think that John Paul has a very important occupation!
