The BIG disappointment!

JO Weil as Oliver Sabel and Thore Schölerman as Christian Mann.

I am really really disappointed. So, Verbotene Liebe has come to an end as a daily soap but it will continue as a weekly series. And so I heard, Olli has made his last appearance in the show. And what a bullshit ending of an era! Really, Chrolli, Christian and Oliver that is, is one of the most important love stories in modern (soap) time I think. We all know Thore Schölermann left the show in 2012 because of the lack of interesting storylines for his character Christian Mann, and since then, the series became a lot more uninteresting. He made a very appreciated appearnce in 2013, but since then nothing. And the couple also went through with their second divorce in 2014. And seriously, Olli is no interesting without Christian and vice versa. No wonder the series lost viewers and got cancelled.

Ok, the creators of the series tried to keep it alive by giving Olli a crush on Sascha (Sascha Pederiva) and a new relationship with Jo Helmke, but it just didn't work. Sascha was straight and Jo was slimy. We all were just waiting for Christian to come back! But nothing. I'm asking, why take one of the most beautiful love stories of all time and end it with a banal sleaze story? I feel violated and insulted. At least it should had ended with the Olli going to England and to let us know he was reunited with Christian off screen, if Thore couldn't find time to join the show for a sunset ending. It my world it ends like that. Just sayin.

Christian & Olli forever and ever! And that's that!

An Olli check up

So, what happens with Olli? Is the house gay of Verbotene Liebe getting any action after the divorce from Christian? Well, it seems so. It didn't go any where with Sascha apparently, (no wonder because he is straight. I mean writers, why do you have to serve only straight guys to Olli?) and now it seems like Olli has a new fling coming.

The spoliers tell us that apparently there is a romans starting in about a week including Olli (Jo Weil) and new character, the doctor, Josef "Jo" Helmke. If you recognize the name Helmke I can tell you that yes, it is Frank Helmkes half brother. And this character Jo seems to be at least bisexual. We know that because he used to have a boyfriend called Samuel. But what surprises me is that he also had a one night stand with Ollis half sister Bella. I mean, why just have sex with one sibling? So, what I can read from the spoilers there is an affair on the way, but no relationship announced yet.

So, now I wonder two things. First: Why have the writers given the new fling for Olli the same name as the actor who plays Olli? Dr Josef is called Jo, and the actor Johannes is called Jo. Very confusing? And second: When is Christian coming back? Really, if the series is going to be cancelled, I think it's not to much to demand one of the greatest gay love storys to end well. What about a happy ending for a gay love story for a change? But I also realise that if there is going to be some Oliver Sabel action again, I need to sontinue watching this story. Olli is a nice character and Jo Weil seems to be a really nice guy. Win win.

More Olli spoilers

Ok, some time ago I spoiled that Christian and Oliver, Chrolli that is, would get a second divorce and maybe part once and for all. Now that particular scenes passed by and I have some new spoilers that I've read on Gaydaytime and other places in the cyberspace. I kind of stopped following Verbotene Liebe after Christians short comeback this autumn, but I will be catching up some time. VL is actually a quite fun soap with lots of nice characters. But for now spoilers from forums will do. If I have it right this is what happens:

Oliver (Jo Weil) has a room mate called Sascha (Sascha Pederiva) that he gets a crush on, but he also has a one night stand with some random guy. He tells Christian who tells him to go to London emediately, which results in Chrollis second divorce. Olli and Sascha flirts a bit and at some point kisses and when Sascha watches Olli with another guy, another one night stand, it starts something in him that leeds to that Olli and Sascha has sex. But Sascha tells Olli it was only an experiment (sounds familiar? Yes just what Christian tells Olli back in the days) and that he is not gay but Olli still crushes in Sascha.

That's what I know right now. I think it's quite boring to do the exact thing again, Olli falls for straight guy, the have sex but straight guy claims it to be an experiment and bla bla. The story repeats. I hope the writers will do something good of it and not just an Olli/straight guy thing again. If I could decide I would bring Christian back but unfortunately I can't decide. Or if the writers would want to spice it up a bit why not pair up Olli with a woman? Olli is actually stated as bisexual in the beginning of the Olli storyline.

Anyways, there is actually some kind of storyline between Olli and Sascha and I will therefor give you a sneak peak of how it looks. I borrowed the picture from the Gaydaytime user Chrollianne, and it is a lovely picture. I will give the Olli and Sascha storyline a chance.
