Are you kidding me?!

Are you seriously insinuating that Elias will come back from the dead?! OMG how Bobby Ewing of you Salatut Elämät. To let Elias go away and say "goodbye" to him and then let him come back just to let him die some months later and then you are going to bring him back again! I just can't see the point! How boring! Yeah I know I'm biased because because I am a Lalle shipper but can you just let Larias go already! And I think that it will damage Petteri Paavolas estate agent career to bring him back to the show. Shame on you! So just let's not hope that they bring back Elias when Ronny Roslöf is ready to leave the show, just to let Larias leave together. Boring! Hollyoaks has already done it.

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.

Really Eastenders? Again?!

Abi Branning & Ben Mitchell.

Are you for real Eastenders?! Haven't we seen this before in hmm... Eastenders?! Yes we have. Is it really necessary to have all the gay characters making some girl pregnant? So, next on the list is Ben Mitchell (Harry Reid). Again! Is this the end of Pen? I refuse to believe that! This is 2016 and this is the year that every gay storyline is going my way! To show you how used this plot is just keep reading.

1982-ish - Steven Carrington

Jack Coleman and some baby.

Ok, it was kind of off-screen, and Steven Carrington (Jack Coleman) was actually married to the mother Sammy-Jo (Heather Locklear) but he was gay and he did make some girl pregnant. If he just had come out when he wanted, that would never have happened. So, already in the 80's in Dynasty for heaven's sake! 

2009 - Oliver Fish

Scott Evans and some baby.

In 2009 Oliver Fish  (Scott Evans) from One Life to Live was so deep down in the closet that he had to sleep with Stacy Morasco to feel better when he was drunk. And she wanted to get pregnant so win-win I guess. But Stacy died and daddy had a new boyfriend so Sierra Rose got to daddys instead and actually, even though I don't like babies in soaps, I would really have liked to see more of the really cute family of Fish, Kyle and Sierra Rose. It's a shame that USA is full of homophobic biggots among all the nice people there, so the characters had to leave the show, of course.

2010 - Syed Masood

Marc Elliott and some baby.

The first time Eastenders did it. Syed was the muslim guy who felt he had to get married to a woman to please his parents and who ever, and when his wife Amira got to know that her husband was gay she was already pregnant, but she left Walford and Syed got to meet his daughter for the first time in 2012. But Syed's boyfriend Christian Clarke (John Partridge) is delighted because they are planning to get a baby anyway and he does call Yasmin his and Syed's daughter more than once. An Amiras. But it seems that it is working out. But I am wondering, when is both Syed and Christian doing a guest appearance together? We miss you Chryed!

2010-ish Deniz Öztürk

Igor Dolgatschew and aothers and some baby.

In 2010 or something Deniz (Igor Dolgatschew) is drunk and sleeps with his father's girlfriend Jessica. That is the final stroke for DeRo I think. Ok, the got back together in the end but it was never the same. Roman died and Deniz got back to just girls and he meets his son Jonas once in a while. This was a really really reaaally lousy storyline fron Alles Was Zählt. I hated it. I don't want to talk about it.

2011 - Ben Mitchell

Steve McFadden and some baby.

There's no picture with both Ben and his daughter Lexi so we have to do with granpa Mitchell instead. Well, it seems like Ben doesn't really care about his baby, but he kind of was in prison back then so we never really had a storyline with those two. And I guess the writers kind of forgot about it at the time whe he got out or something. In 2011 Ben Mitchell (then played by Joshua Pascoe) slept with Lola Pearce while he was drunk and I guess it was some kind of gay-straight experiment. So, if Ben already has an "accident" child, why is he making another? We all know that he is gay.
 

2012 - Will Horton

Chandler Massey and some baby.

In 2012 Will Horton had an one-night stand with his ex Gabi and of course she got pregnant. Ok, this is not the worst baby-storyline and Arianna got to very loving fathers in Will and Sonny (Freddie Smith) but babies in soap operas are so boring! No, I do not approve Days, I do not approve.

2014 - Ste Hay

Kieron Richardson, Ross Adams and some baby.

So even in Hollyoaks. Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) had av very drunk one-night stand with the dreadful Sinead O'Connor in 2014 and that resulted in baby Hannah. Ste's husband John Paul (James Sutton) accepted it but Ste got and had a crush on some boring guy named Harry and I don't really care anymore. It could have been so good with Ste, JP, Leah, Lucas, Matthew and Hannah, but no. I am disappointed. 

2014 - Lari Väänänen

Ronny Roslöf and some baby.

And also in 2014 in Finland. Salatut Elämät also wants to do the baby storyline. Lari (Ronny Roslöf) also had a drunk one-night stand (there's a lot of those) with a girl, Sanni, who just happens to be the little sister of Kalle (Pete Lattu) Lari's future boyfriend. Boring, unecessary drama, the baby doesn't add any good to the soap, can't you just let Lalle to be happy?! I would.

And of course, there's more gay characters with babies in soap operas, Brendan Brady and John Paul McQueen for instance, but Brendan was married and an irish catholic back then and JP actually got baby Matthew with Craig before Craig shove of, so I don't think that those count. But do you see know Eastenders just how old this is? Why can't you just come up with something new? I am not looking forward to this!

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! :)

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!

Satula

Aino, Janne and Tale in Satula.

So, the summer spin-off from Salatut Elämät is on! Or it has been for two weeks but yesterday MissFinlandia88 had subbed and put the four firts episodes on youtube. And I have to say that I have so much more hopes for this one than last years summer spin-off. Young girl, dream girl was really no good. But this seems to be really fun! The story is about Janne and Tale and how they go to Ulla's cousin Ulpu (is that really a real name?) to help her with her art school. There they meet Aino who was in the series between 2008-2010, so that was before my time. And also they meet a lot of people who looks like other people...

Ronny Roslöf and Petteri Paavola.

Satula seems to be some kind of virtual reality or dreamworld where all the pople are exact copies of people in Salatut Elämät. For example, the copies of Lari and Elias, real hillbillies, are called Kristoffer and Pauli, and they seem to be real homophobes. And Petteri has a moustache! And also, Kari Taalasmaa, who is a real homophobe in SE, his copy in Satula is gay! I already love it, after just four episodes. There is going to be 20 episodes which airs online on tuesdays and thursdays. MissFinlandia88 puts the episodes on youtube when she has time. And that is great, because I still don't know any Finnish!

Pete Lattu in Satula,

And we might also have this to look forward to. If it's not off the screen, but why would Pete Lattu have ginormous earmuffs off screen? He is really cute though! And I am so curious of what character he plays, cause I guess it's not Kalle Laitela! So do watch Satula, it really seems to be great fun!

Summer break

Ronny Roslöf as Lari and... a baby.

So, last thursday there was the season finale of Salatut Elämät. No exciting Lalle-scenes but they threw this at us out of the blue! If you, like me, don't speak Finnish, I can tell you that Lari is asking Sanni if Ilja (the baby) is his because just like that he remembered that he and Sanni had sex once a while ago. Well, he did remember that after Kalle told him that Janne is not the father of the baby. The actually had sex on the night when Elias and Miska celebrated their engagement. And that was before Lari hooked up with Kalle! Thank gods for that. But we never got to see Sanni's answer so we have to wait until August/September before we know if Lari is the father. I guess he is. And that is reaöy weird. That makes Kalle both uncle and stepfather to the baby. Also, this gay-boy-knocks-up-girl-which-results-in-baby storyline is so unique in soap operas. We have never seen it before. Not in Days of our lives (Will and Gabi), One life to live (Oliver and Satcy) och Hollyoaks (Ste and Amy and Sinead!). I mean really, give us something new! But the summer spin-off Satula will start soon and I do hope for some Lalle-snogging in that one! Last years spin-off gave us some Larias-snogging, but that is so last season!

Lalle in pictures

Ok, there is no secret that I ship Lalle much more than Larias in Salatut Elämät right now. And I really do think that I will be a Lalle-shipper until the bitter end. I mean, Lalle is such a more interesting relationship than Larias. There is just so much more dimentions to it. There is the age difference, the fact that Kalle is not Lari's first boyfriend, the fact that Kalle is a doctor, and he is also a rape victim. And the fact that Kalle is a well-educated physician and that used to be homeless and is now working in a café makes it even more interesting. For me Lalle is the real deal. But I just know that Elias will ruin it all. But in the meantime I am going to enjoy Lalle as long as it lasts. Here are some pictures that I haven't posted before.

And also, Pete Lattu and Ronny Roslöf are great actors. But I've told you that before!

Pissed by YOU!

Really I'm going to be a bit nasty today. Yesterday MissFinlandia88 wrote this in the Elias story channel on youtube:

Outside this story line Kalle is again avoiding telling the truth and I'm really starting to get pissed of by him. He knows something his mom did and is hiding it from his dad. Why doesn't he learn it's best to tell the truth immediately cos it will be out one day anyway and people will be mad at you for not telling it straight away? Ismo really trusts in Kalle after they made up last time and this is how Kalle thanks him... It's like Kalle never grows up and learns from his mistakes. Lying once again.

I really just don't care about this character anymore at all and subbing these clips really is not fun at all cos I don't care about Kalle and them as a completely passionless couple without chemistry even less. I really agree with you people the story is really boring at the moment and I'm sorry about that. Feel free to take a break cos you can do it unlike me unfortunately :/

Well really Missfin, I would really want to take a break from you right now! (And btw, that comment about you wanting to take a break but can't, that is so unprofessional). It is a free world to ship whoever you want, but if you have that "official" role that you have subbing the Salatut Elämät scenes related to the Larias/Elias storyline, I really would prefer if you had a more objective approach! It is very obvious that you don't really like Kalle/Lalle and that you are a Larias shipper, but you have really done both the clipping and the subtitling poorly for quite a while know, and making such statements about Kalle is really immature, according to me. Maybe Kalle is never growing up and lying again, but we don't know that because you don't tell us because you are almost not subbing anything nowdays! Subtitle the whole story so maybe we can get our own opinion instead! Now it'just you dictating how we should think and that is so not cool. Maybe the storyline is boring BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW THAT! I really think it's to bad that one person has monopoly on subtitling SE and that person is so subjective that we, the ones who do not understand Finnish, has no chance of getting an opinion of our own. Please please, can anyone else start subbing the gay storylines of Salatut Elämät, so we might get to see the whole story and to getour own point of view?! Because MissFinlandia is not doing that. I am so disappointed.

Pete Lattu as Kalle and Ronny Roslöf as Lari.

Nowdays I am a really hardcore Lalle-shipper. I used to be a hardcore Larias-shipper, but I can change my mind can't I? And I really don't think, as MissFin think that Lari and Kalle is passionless and has no chemistry, quite the opposite! But I know that "smaken är som baken" the taste is like the butt, and anyone can think what they want, but I really love Lari and Kalle together. Even though I think that Lari and Elias, that is Ronny and Petteri, had really really special chemistry. Ronny and Pete is not up that that standard yet, but they do have great chemistry and they are excellent actors so they are really a joy to watch. I love Lalle, some people love Larias, but it is really up to each and everyone to have their own opinion. Not to be indoctrinated by some youtuber. Keep your opinion to yourself and upload the storyline objectively! Because I am really thinking of taking a break from SE, but not because of Lari and Kalle. And I am not reading your comments again. Just sayin'.

The right choice!

Happy Lari and Kalle and sulking Elias.

Yes! Finally Lari made the right choice! I really am so over Larias. I've read lots of comments about Lari (Ronny Roslöf) and Kalle (Pete Lattu) and that they don't at all believe in the relationship and that Lari is uncomfortable with Kalle but I don't agree at all! I don't care if Lari used the same words as Elias did when he chose Miska (Juska Reiman), "I am with him because it is easy" or something, I genuinely think that he likes Kalle. He even said he loved him. And they looked realy happy and in love in the sofa. Elias (Petteri Paavola) is pathetic and he only has himself to blame because he dumped Lari first and Lari had the good taste to go for Kalle instead. Seriously, Larias is so 2013! Wake up, it is 2015 now, it's time fore Kalle!

Another disappointment

I am actually quite disappointed with the latest Larias storyline. No, I am actually disappointed with Salatut Elämät in general. What are you doing?

All the gay characters of Salatut Elämät in the same picture. Blimey!

Ok, as I told you before, I was a huge Larias shipper. I am not any more. I mean, it is boring! The really pulled the stpry too far. If the intensions are to get Lari (Ronny Roslöf) and Elias (Petteri Paavola) back together, why didn't you last spring? I mean, we were up for it then. Now there is an more suitable love interest for Lari if you ask me. I think that Kalle (Pete Lattu) is better for Lari because Elias is a whiney little brat. And now, it might seem as they are planning to end the Lari and Kalle love story before it really started, and that is the easy, more boring way to go. I don't approve! But it seems like Miska (Juska Reimann) will break the engagement, and I think it would be an interesting twist, and a bitch lap, if Elias got dumped and Lari managed to keep his boyfriend.

The kidnapped Lari and Elias.

And the kidnapping storyline! What is that? There are so many holes in that storyline that I can't count! I mean, how could Marianna carry Lari, Elias, Heidi and Janne by herself to the nest? Especially when it turned out that the nest was a room in Heidi's appartment! I mean, somebody ought to have seen her! And it is not that believable that Heidi wouln't notice anything, that she had prisoners in her home. And what about toilet visits? Really? They couldn't have not gone for the toilet in weeks. They same problem for Dodger in Hollyoaks. To make it believable, take the kidnap victims to the toilet or at least give them a potty! I am glad this storyline seems like it has come to an end, and I really hope they make something good with Kalle and Lari. Otherwise I think they wasted a whole year of precious Larias-time. At least, a proper storyline with Lari and Elias is better than this!

(And also, I am really disappointed in the clips on youtube. It is great that there is a pioneer that translates them, but lately it feels like only the most essential is translated and the scenes are cut so we can't see them i whole, and the storyline get's really cut into too small pieces. Right now, ,it actually feels like the translation is limited to the lines that direct linked to the Lari/Kalle/Elias/Miska-stoyline, and I for one would like to see the scenes in whole. I wish I understood Finnish.)
