Members Huntress Posted July 3, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 3, 2015 (edited) The production company behind GZSZ, UU, AWZ, VL and some other former soaps is UFA Serial Drama, so there's not much of a quality difference between these shows. If VL had ran on RTL, the show would probably be still going strong today. The funny thing is that VL was initially pitched to RTL in 1994, but they went with UU instead and VL was given to ARD. Since ARD is a public broadcaster and RTL a commercial channel, RTL has always promoted its shows to the maximum. For a long time, there wasn't the tiniest bit of press coverage for the ARD soaps. Furthermore, ARD pre-empted VL and MH very often because of live coverage for sports events (Olympics, soccer, winter sports, track and field, swimming, etc.) or news coverage. The last time GZSZ and UU were pre-empted was in 1994 because of Wimbledon coverage. AWZ postponed a handful of episodes due to breaking news. but this was nothing compared to ARD's choppy programming. Another thing is that since ARD is a public broadcaster, they don't claim copyright on their material and anyone can upload episodes or clips on youtube. ARD's video-on-demand is for free and they are not allowed to charge for that. RTL on the other hand wants to make revenue from their shows, so you have no other choice but to pay for their video-on-demand service – otherwise you have to the episodes live. ARD's telenovelas "Sturm der Liebe" and "Rote Rosen" have a different target audience (60+), but they have more than 2 million viewers every day. Btw, here are the DVD trailers for VL's releases: 20 Years Anniversary Box Verbotene Liebe: Vergeltung (The Weekly Series) The complete first episode (original airdate January 2nd, 1995): The complete final episode (#4664, original airdate June 26th, 2015): Edited August 25, 2015 by Huntress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 3, 2015 Members Share Posted July 3, 2015 They're actually trying to target 60+ viewers? I can't imagine that in the US. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted July 4, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 4, 2015 That's because virtually nobody under 60 watches tv at that time. "Rote Rosen" airs at 2.10 pm and "Sturm der Liebe" at 3.15 pm. Yesterday, "Sturm der Liebe" had 2.2 million viewers and a total market share of 21.1 % ( (and that even though Germany is currently suffering from a heat wave and summer holidays have begun). However, the show is not among the 20 most watched shows in the target demo of 14-49. GZSZ only had 1.8 million viewers, but a market share of 16 % in the 14-49 target demo. The most watched program of the day, a crime series on ZDF, had 3.38 million viewers, but like "Sturm der Liebe", this program was hardly watched by anyone between 14-49. The commercial channels like RTL, Sat.1 and Pro7 want to target a younger audience (because of ad revenue), but the public broadcasters ARD and ZDF don't really care about demographics because they are financed by the state. Just compare these lists: Most watched shows – total viewers – July 3rd, 2015 01.

There's not a single ZDF program among the 14-49 target demo even though the channel dominates the most watched list. In turn, programs of Sat.1, Pro7, VOX and RTLII only appear on the 14-49 list. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ben Posted July 6, 2015 Members Share Posted July 6, 2015 Yeah, that's all very interesting Huntress. Thanks for explaining it all. It really gives me a small idea of how German TV works, etc. I find it interesting that the public service broadcasters don't care about chasing the young demos, like their commercial rivals do. In the UK, the BBC are always trying new ways to hook the 16-49 demo, which rarely goes to plan. It's quite surreal seeing it in print that a TV network actually wants 60+ viewers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted July 7, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 7, 2015 Well, in the public eye ARD and ZDF have always been deemed as "old people's channels", so I guess that won't change anymore VL's former timeslot is now occupied by a romantic comedy series "Die Kuhflüsterin" (The Cow Whisperer) which is about a veterinarian in a rural town. The show had a higher market share than VL in its first two episodes, but overall the same amount of viewers. I don't think any young person wants to watch a show that is promoted like this: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ben Posted July 7, 2015 Members Share Posted July 7, 2015 @ The Cow Whisper! Yeah, no young person is going anywhere near that show with such a boring promo shot. Even the description sounds like it's made for the older person - gentle humour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted July 22, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Some casting news: While Jo Weil (Nick Danne) is only on recurring status at AWZ, Carsten Clemens (Veit Hartmann) has become a series regular. Clemens first appeared on May 5th, 2015, as Jenny Steinkamp's new lover and partner in crime. Last year, Clemens played Dr. Lukas Kant for a few months on GZSZ. Tanja Tischewitsch has joined the cast in the role of fitness instructor Tina Gouverneur. She first appears on August 26th, 2015. Tischewitsch took part in the 11th season of "German Idol" (2014) and in the 9th season of "I'm a Celebrity – Get Me out of Here!" (2015). Michael Jassin has also been placed on contract at AWZ. Back in March, the 29-year old actor first appeared in three episodes as "Tobi28", a guy that Vanessa Steinkamp met via online dating. On July 27, 2015, Jassin returns to the canvas. His character is now called Tobi Märtz. He will move in with Pia and Iva and soon starts a romance with the former. AWZ returns to its roots when it re-introduces ice skating as its major sport. On October 7th, 2015, a new female character named Marie arrives on the scene. She turns out to be Ingo Zadek's younger half-sister and is a successful figure skater. Marie's portrayer hasn't been revealed yet. Ice skating used to be AWZ's major sport from 2006 to 2013 until it was replaced by dancing and soccer. Soccer only lasted one year, and dancing was discontinued after the bus crash which killed most of the characters that were tied to the "Dance Academy" this past February. On GZSZ, Dieter Bach has been cast in the new contract role of Dr. Frederic Riefflin. Now a successful cardiologist, Frederic originally grew up in poverty. According to a press release, he will be involved in a love story with mother-daughter-duo Katrin and Jasmin Flemming. The story is supposed to be highly controversial and there's already speculation that Frederic is Jasmin's biological father Rico who left Katrin before Jasmin's birth. Katrin's real name is Gaby Galuba and her mother owned a shabby diner in the Ruhrgebiet area. Katrin set the diner on fire, received the insurance money and started a new life under the alias Katrin Flemming. She first appeared in December 2002 when she had a one-night-stand with married man Dr. Jo Gerner. In April 2004, Katrin became a series regular. A vindictive business woman, Katrin had affairs with several men and conceived a daughter with Gerner, Johanna. For a while, Katrin and Gerner were also married. Katrin was imprisoned, suffered a stroke and had a wild relationship with history student Bommel, who was 20 years her minor. Meanwhile, Jasmin grew up in a foster family where she was sexually abused. Jasmin, who first appeared in January 2008 as a budding fashion designer, was revealed to be Katrin's biological daughter Melanie in June 2008. Before that, Jasmin thought that she was Katrin's younger sister. She suffered from several traumas and went through therapy. Jasmin found love in Dominik Gundlach, Jo Gerner's son, but she broke off the engagement because she couldn't deal with living in a committed relationship. For a while Jasmin was married to rock star Kurt Le Roy, until she embarked on a lesbian relationship with her roommate Anni Brehme. Preview Pictures for August 2015 Unter uns 01.

Members DRW50 Posted July 22, 2015 Members Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks. What do you think of Jo Weil on AWZ? Will you miss Nele? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted July 22, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2015 Jo is doing ok on AWZ, but his story isn't particularly interesting. He mostly plays opposite Vanessa, Ben and Iva. I'm actually looking forward to Michael Jassin joining the show, although he will be paired with that annoying shrew Pia. I won't miss any of the three exits on GZSZ that will occur during August (Nele, Mieze and Olivia). Nele never had a storyline other than being unlucky in love, Mieze was watered down from being a though streekid to an overachiever, and Olivia only served as a plot device to break Maren and Alexander apart. While van der Heide reportedly wanted out of her contract and Jaenner only signed on for eight months, Dempsey was fired because "her character's story has come to a closure". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Huntress Posted July 28, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yesterday RTL released promotional material for the 2015/2016 season including previews for its three soaps UU, AWZ and GZSZ. Here's my translation: Unter uns (weekdays 5:30 p.m.) For more than 20 years, Unter uns (Among us) has been on RTL's schedule and has been a pivotal part of its afternoon programming. In the apartment complex Schillerallee 10 in Cologne, passion and pain, birth and death, and fortune and sorrow go hand in hand – fascinating characters are living here, with whom the audience can identify with. And this is what will happen this fall: Sina's old university friend Elli (Nora Koppen) and teenage brat Jule (Amrei Haardt) move in with Paco (Milos Vukovic) and Ringo (Timothy Boldt) into the flat-sharing community. They set up a rule that they will not have sex with each other, but rules are there to be broken: Elli develops a crush on Paco, but she has her reasons for not seducing him. Jule falls in love with Ringo, but he only sees her as "a little sister". Ringo on the other hand seems to like Elli, but he's unsure how to deal with her. Meanwhile Paco's not interested in finding a new relationship – but will he change his mind? Schillerallee's dream couple Sina (Valea Scalabrino) and Bambi (Benjamin Heinrich) hit a new low in their young marriage when Bambi cheats on Sina with Fiona (Olivia Burkhart). Bambi and Sina don't know that Olivia was just using Bambi's feelings for Rolf's (Stefan Franz) revenge plan on the Weigel family. Sina and Bambi try to mend their failing marriage, but nothing seems to work. Sina cannot have sex with Bambi because she always sees Fiona in her mind. Eventually Sina collapses. In an outburst of rage, she throws her unfaithful husband out. Fiona decides to return to being a prostitute in order to earn enough money for herself and her father Rolf so that they can flee the country. When a trick threatens her, Easy (Lars Steinhöfel) rescues Fiona and she opens up to Easy about her problems. Soon they become close friends. When Irene (Petra Blossey) learns about Fiona working as a whore, she is shocked and decides to help her financially. Fiona is happy and tries to reach Rolf, but then she hears that he has been put in a prison in the Netherlands. Fiona's world is shattered. Will she ever see her father again? Meanwhile, Ute (Isabell Hertel) and Henning's (Benjamin Kiss) marriage is also on the rocks because they have drifted in different directions. When Ute gets into a fight with D.A. Ricarda Schätzke (Anna-Lena Class), she manages to hurt Ricarda's career. Ricarda swears revenge and tries to seduce Henning. Behind Ute and Henning's back, she also gets close to Henning's son Moritz (Marvin Linke) and lures him into her bed. Will all this drama cause Ute and Henning's marriage to fall apart? Unter uns stars Petra Blossey as Irene Weigel (1994-), Stefan Bockelmann as Malte Winter (2001), Timothy Boldt as Ringo Beckmann (2012-), Olivia Burkhart as Fiona Novak (2015-), Claudelle Deckert as Eva Wagner Weigel (2001-2006; 2008-), Amrei Haardt as Jule Kasper (2015-), Benjamin Heinrich as Benno "Bambi" Hirschberger (2013-), Isabell Hertel as Ute Kiefer Kern Weigel Fink (1995-), Tabea Heynig as Britta Schönfeld (2010-), Benjamin Kiss as Henning Fink #2 (2010-), Nora Koppen as Elli (2015-), Ines Kurenbach as Caro Kasper (2014-), Marvin Linke as Moritz Schönfeld (2010-), Luca Maric as Robert Küpper (2015-), Patrick Müller as Tobias Lassner (2006-), Kai Noll as Rufus Sturm (2003-), Ben Ruedinger as Till Weigel #2 (2000-), Valea Scalabrino as Sina Uhland Hirschberger (2010-), Lars Steinhöfel as Ingo "Easy" Winter (2005-), Milos Vukovic as Paco Weigel (2000-), Anna-Lena Class as Ricarda Schätzke (2015-), Cronis Karakassidis as Nikos Karadimas (2014-) and Ramon Ademes as Roger Schmitz (2013-). * No longer listed among the cast are Joy Lee Juana Abiola-Müller as Micki Fink (2009-2015), Stefan Franz as Rolf Jäger (2002-2013; 2014; 2015), Maria Kempken as Leonie Weidenfeld #2 (2014-2015) and Alexander Sholti as Dr. Sascha Brenner (2013-2015). Sholti last aired on July 27th, 2015. Abiola-Müller went on maternity leave on May 12th, 2015. Alles was zählt (weekdays 7:05 p.m.) On Alles was zählt (All that matters), everything revolves around the Steinkamp family and their company "Steinkamp Sport und Wellness" – but big emotions don't get the short end of the stick, either. The balance of power within the family is shifted regularly, following the mantra: All that matters is "Live your dream!" This fall, the heroes of the Schotterberg neighborhood in Essen are once again faced with exciting and big challenges: Simone (Tatjana Clasing) and Richard Steinkamp (Silvan-Pierre Leirich) plan to build a luxurious spa in the neighboord – on the piece of land that is currently occupied by local bar "No.7". Thanks to a scheme by Veit Hartmann (Carsten Clemens), the Steinkamps' plans become public and they are faced with negative press. Veit continues plotting his revenge against the Steinkamps, but his plans and his marriage to Jenny Steinkamp (Kaja Schmidt-Tychsen) are in serious danger once Veit and Pia Koch (Isabell Horn) grow closer. The two feel magically attracted to each other... When it becomes evident that Richard used his position as local mayor to get his hands on the property, Christoph Lukowski (Lars Korten) forces him to resign from his post in order to avert "Steinkamp Sport and Wellness" being severely damaged. However, Richards wants to take part in the next election. Surprisingly, Bea Meyer Zadek (Caroline Frier) becomes his main opponent and the election campaign becomes a mud-slinging. Not only will Richard's children Ben (Jörg Rohde) and Jenny be involved in the matter, all employees of "Steinkamp Sport and Wellness" have to decide which side they are on. The Steinkamps are not Bea's only enemies as Isabelle Reichenbach (Ania Niedieck) plays "double agent" in order to gain profit from both sides. Isabelle wants financial security, a good life for her daughter Sophia, and a wealthy husband at her side. Currently, she has snagged Dr. Thomas Brück (Daniel Brockhaus), but he still seems to be hung up on his ex-wife Sonja (Barbara Sotelsek)... Meanwhile, Bea's husband Ingo Zadek (André Dietz) has to deal with family problems. After the death of his father, he learns that he was adopted and that he has a half-sister, Marie. Ingo begins looking for her and eventually finds her. To his surprise, Marie is a succesful figure skater. When they first meet at the ice rink, Ingo and the Steinkamps are reminded of the good old times when figure skating was their main business... Alles was zählt stars Julia Albrecht as Flo Brück (2015-), Julia Augustin as Vanessa Steinkamp (2006-2009; 2010-2012; 2013; 2014-), Daniel Brockhaus as Dr. Thomas Brück (2015-), Tatjana Clasing as Simone Steinkamp (2006-), Carsten Clemens as Veit Hartmann (2015-), André Dietz as Ingo Zadek (2007-; recurring previously), Igor Dolgatschew as Deniz Öztürk (2007-), Sam Eisenstein as Marian Öztürk (2007-; recurring previously), Caroline Frier as Bea Meyer Steinkamp Zadek (2012-), Juliette Greco as Lena Bergmann von Altenburg Öztürk #1/#3 (2007-2013; 2013-), Isabell Horn as Pia Koch (2015-), Michael Jassin as Tobi Märtz (2015-; recurring previously), Christina Klein as Iva Lukowski (2014-), Lars Korten as Christoph Lukowski (2015-), Silvan-Pierre Leirich as Richard Steinkamp (2006-), Ania Niedieck as Isabelle Reichenbach Steinkamp (2010-), Jörg Rohde as Ben Steinkamp #2 (2009-), Kaja Schmidt-Tychsen as Jenny Steinkamp #4 (2011-) and Barbara Sotelsek as Sonja Brück (2015-). Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten (weekdays 7:40 p.m.) Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten is the most successful daily serial on German television – since 1992, nobody can avoid the stories about love and hate, friendships and feuds, and schemes and jealousy. In Berlin, there's always something going on: Philip (Jörn Schlönvoigt) desperately tries to win Elena's (Elena Garcia Gerlach) affection and even secretly stalks her so that she seeks refuge at his place. However, Philip soon finds himself entangled in a web of lies. When his cover is almost blown, Philip suffers a breakdown and he decides to keep his distance from Elena. When he finds out that she is in love with somebody else, Philip becomes jealous. He doesn't even suspect that Elena's crush is no one else but his half-brother John (Felix von Jascheroff). At first, John doesn't return Elena's advances because he doesn't want to hurt Philip, but then one thing leads to another and Elena and John begin a secret relationship. What will happen once Philip finds out? Jo Gerner (Wolfgang Bahro) strikes a sad balance of his life. Because of his vendetta against the Morenos, he lost a lot of money, had to suffer from much stress and eventually even has a heart attack. Now that he is all alone, he desperately tries to make up with his granddaughter Sunny (Valentine Pahde) and wants to establish her as his successor. When Sunny reluctantly agrees to work in Gerner's real estate business, Gerner sucks up to her and even seems to accept Vince (Vincent Krüger) as Sunny's boyfriend. Sunny doesn't realize how much power Gerner has over her. This also puts Sunny and Vince's relationship in danger... Jasmin (Janine Uhse) wants to establish her new fashion brand "Tussi Attack". After a while, she finds out that her business partner Emily (Anne Menden) ripped her off. Jasmin fights back, sets up a new business contract and the two women start anew. However, when Jasmin gives Sophie (Lea Marlen Woitack) a job at the label, Emily feels threatens by Sophie's presence and goes into bitch mode once again. Will the three women find a way to work together and to win a prestigious fashion award, or will a cat fight destroy the business once and for all?

Members DRW50 Posted August 29, 2015 Members Share Posted August 29, 2015 That Jorg guy has a fantastic body. Oh look another love interest for Deniz... So did you enjoy the Big Brother? I read that the guy who plays Lucas on GZSZ was fired because of some personal problems and it was something of a scandal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
