Can't get enough

And speaking of Tom and Ulli, who I have a little crush on right now, here's a fanvid! I haven't found any else, so this might be the only one. I actually think that Tulli are a bit underrated. Ok, it's been more than ten years, about 15 years actually, but I think it's a really great lovestory! And it's still relevant! The way Ulli (Andreas Stenschke) reason when his brother Nick want's him to deside if he's gay or straight is very 2016. That kind of reasoning you could see in a soap opera in 2016. But Verbotene Liebe has always been quite forward in LGBT subjects. If there were any worth tha name, that is... Anyway, I love it! To bad that the love story between Tom (Kay Böger) and Olli (Jo Weil) was not as good. Maybe because Olli is no Ulli and Tom is no Christian. And speaking of the fanvid, I think it's quite funny that the music is If it's all I ever do with Andreas Johansson from the swedish dokusoap Fame Factury! I followed that season slavishly!

Happy new year!

So, how did you spend your new years eve? I was at home in my sweatpants wtaching this:

And it was awesome! This is actually the best New Years Eve in a soap opera ever! I can watch it as many times as you want! I don't think I ever will get tired of it! Tom and Ulli at the millennium is one of the most beautiful love/sex scenes ever! And every time I watch it I realize that more and more.

Kay Böger and Andreas Stenschke.

I really think Verbotene Liebe should do a spin off with all the gay characters. I would love to see more of Tulli, to see Chrolli back together and I would also like to see how Gero's doing today. So, a German Looking maybe, starring, Kay Böger, Andreas Stenschke, Jo Weil, Tore Schölermann and Broder B. Hendrix! Wouldn't you?

Some New Years specials

There have been som nice New Years episodes through the years. Not all soaps are on a break over Christmas, New Years and summer, thank gods. Here are some of my favourites.

Syed, Amira and Christian.

First of all we have the New Years kiss between Christian and Syed (Eastenders) from 2009. There are just rubbish pictures (even my own screenshots) so you'll have to settle with one of Syed kissing Amira instead, while Christian is watching. Awful. But the Chryed kiss was great! Just before the Masood wedding Christian (John Partridge) leaves Walford because of a broken heart, but comes home just for the midnight to give Syed (Marc Elliott) a kiss. It is so romantic, and there is so much pain. I love it!

Tom & Ulli.

Another favourite is actually from the millennium when Tom and Ulli (Verbotene Liebe) got together. And yet another rubbish picture. Tom (Kay Böger) and Ulli (Andreas Stenschke) had been tangled here and there for a while (well, Ulli had a girlfriend, of course) but in New Years eve Ulli finally had the guts to tell Tom his true feelings and from there there was no turning back. The coupled shared a cozy moment in front of the fireplace, and it is a classical scene indeed. To watch it follow the link.

Deniz and Roman on New Years eve.

The Germans know how to do it. Another cute New Years kiss is actually one of DeRo's (Alles Was Zählt) cutest. And yay, a great picture! Well, all of their kisses were cute. But this was special. It was playful and happy, which was not the case of their relationship at this time. Roman (Dennis Grabosch) was unemployed and Deniz (Igor Dolgatschew) was a model. But it was a happy time if you compare to what was to come... And there was also another New Years eve when Deniz dpent it with Vanessa instead of Roman but let's not talk about that!

Those were my favourites. And they were only three! So here is a bonus. Will and Sonny (Days of our lives) from last New Years eve.

Will (Chandler Massey) and Sonny (Freddie Smith).

I need to collect some more favourites I think... Any suggestions?

The End

Just about the time when Verbotene Liebe had their 4500 episode aired it was also announced that the series has got cencelled. The viewers has gone down and I guess it is no point of carrying on.

Jo Weil and the cast.

Jo Weil, who really seem to love his job, despite quite shitty storylines for his character Olli lately, announced on his facebook page that the series has been cancelled and that it will come to an end early next year. Well, I can't say that I'm surpriced or even that upset about it. The series really became blaha, and no interesting storylines for anyone. Just same old same old. Of course it is sad that Verbotene Liebe will come to an end, because it was an Ok soap which delivered very memorable scenes, especially with Chrolli, but I think this is really the only right thing to do. Nothing can last forever.

Oliver and Christian.

And really, no writers, there is nothing to keep you from bringing Chrolli back together! When the series is cancelled I really hope that Thore Schölermann is up for coming back to the show so we can have our sunset ending for Christian and Oliver. Really, the storylines for Olli after Christian is nothing to hang in the christmas tree. Even though the Chrolli story got a little bit mudded by yet another divorce, there is no other ending than a Chrolli ending. That would really be a scandal.

And I really hope the writers will give us a real boombastic ending, because in January, Verbotene Liebe will have a 20 years celebration, and they really have their chance to do something really good with it. I want lot's of old characters returns (just as when the show trurned 10 years) and I want lot's of happiness. I imagine a great storyline would be that my other favourites Tom and Ulli returning to Düsseldorf to get married where they meat Olli (who is Tom's ex) who invite both him and Christian (who Olli met in the supermarket or something) to their wedding and when they see all the happiness and love they get carried away and can't help falling into eachothers arms and saken är biff! Perfect ending! Who do I contact about this great idea?

Tom and Ulli

As told before Christian and Oliver, Chrolli, is not the first same sex couple in the German soap opera Verbotene Liebe. They are not even the second, or the third. In fact, Verbotene Liebe have had lots and lots of same sex couples through the series, both male and female. For me, Chrolli are a favourite couple, alongside Tom and Ulli.

Ulli and Tom.

In 1999 the character Ulrich "Ulli" Prozeski (Andreas Stenscke) met Tom Seifert (Kay Böger) and he didn't like him. He really despised him until Tom, who of course was the really really nice gay guy saved him from a bit of kerfuffel and the became good friends. Ulli has a bit of a problem with Tom being gay of course, like any aother closeted gay guy. But in the end they end up snogging a couple of times before a little bit of a denial and then they end up as a couple in New Years Eve. And there are sparks! The snogging in front of the fire place really deserves and Oscar in my oppinion. Thore Schölermann and Jo Weil have gotten a lot of praise for their natural and passionate kissing as Christian and Oliver, but in my opinion Andreas Stenscke and Kay Böger are doing their job as good as the Chrolli actors. I can watch the episode with the fire place at New Years Eve over and over again.

Kay Böger as Tom and Andreas Stenscke as Ulli.

Unfortunately the love story is good but short. in 2000 Ulli moves to München and leaves Tom with a broken heart. The break up is really heart wrecking in the train station where Tom breaks up with Ulli just as he boards the train. So the broken heart ought to be mutual. Tom then has a hard time to commit again before he meets Olli. Thats right, it's the same Olivers Sabel that Christian marries later in the series.

Tom and Olli.

But in my opinion, and I can have an opinion because it's my blog, Tom and Olli is not a couple with sparks. I never really liked them together. No real passion and I can feel that Tom never really got over Ulli. The proof of that we got when Ulli came back to Düsseldorff for a couple of weeks and Tom cheats on Olli in a hotel room. And really Tom, Ulli and Olli? Couldn't yoy meet a guy with a little bit less similar name?

Andreas Stenscke and Kay Böger together with Dominic Saleh-Zaki who plays Andi.

Well, yet another time Ullis heart is broken and he has to return to München empty handed. Tom later breaks up with Olli who ends up heart broken (lots of broken hearts in this storyline. Ulli even leaves a heartbroken girlfriend when he first got together with Tom) and eventually both Tom and Olli leaves Düsseldorff and the series. But the storyline doesn't end there because some years later, in 2005 when Verbotene Liebe have it's 10 years anniversary Tom and Ulli reaccures in a couple of short scenes where we learn that the couple was reunited and both lived in München together. Yay! Another happy ending!
