I've been getting into Eastenders and have been watching daily since end of August.  Last time I watched EE, was several years ago. Overall I've been really enjoying the show, but it's not perfect.  The Christmas episode I thought was meh.  Some moments I liked, but for most part it seemed it was all about shock value than actual plot.  Especially since they announced the New Years Day episode will be a flashback episode of Christmas Day and will show what really happened. 

I don't believe Keanu is dead. Martin was freaking out over a hit and run accident just the day before. Being turned into a murder in just one episode would be quite a leap.  Victoria Foxton, I'm with you on your concerns over Ballum and Ben.  Even if Keanu is alive, Ben still ordered the murder. Are we really supposed to want Callum back with a guy that ordered a murder? I wonder if Ben with Martin, helped fake Keanu's death?

I was wondering if there Was a way to watch these soaps with English subtitles.

Someone does upload english subs for the gay storylines on Unter Uns and Sturm Der Liebe, but I don't think anyone does full episodes. 

16.  Dennis Grabosch as Roman Wild [2006-2011 | 1299 eps] * †

I miss Roman so much.  Deniz and Roman are my favorite tv couple,  and not just  "favorite gay couple", but favorite couple period.  There was something about them that was special. 

13.  Ulrike Röseberg as Annette Bergmann Zadek [2006-2012 | 1452 eps] †

Another favorite I miss a lot. 

So Huntress,  

I know you don't normally cover Sturm der Liebe since I think it's sort of a telenovela, but someone'e been subbing the Boris and Tobias storyline. I've really been enjoyed it a lot.  Then I found out that Tom Chroust is on the writing staff.  Given he created Oliver and Christian on VL and Deniz and Roman on AWZ,  I have to imagine Boris and Tobias is his idea or has a hand in writing it. 

Wow, they moving fast with Easy's storyline. 

I hope they don't end Ringo/Valentin, someone's been subtitling it and I've been really enjoying it so far, but going from no gay stories to two, does seem a bit much. Maybe they are going to converge and Ringo/Easy are endgame?  I wonder why UU is skittish with the gay story lines? Verbotene Liebe and AWZ never were, though AWZ seems to have completely forgotten that Deniz is bisexual. 

Yay! Thanks Huntress! I really hope someone on the internet uploads subtitles online.

Actually, many fans were rooting for Ringo and Valentin's father Benedikt to hook up – that would've been quite a twist. Benedikt and Valentin have a lousy father-son relationship because Benedikt is a ruthless businessman and Valentin doesn't want to become like his father. Then Ringo came along, and he was the "perfect son" in Benedikt's eyes, so he took him under his wings while dismissing Valentin.

 

So far there have been no signs that Valentin might be gay or bi, but since Valentin has always been written as someone who is looking for his true self, it kind of makes sense for him to turn experiment with men.

 

Thanks Huntress! Let me how or if it develops into anything! 

Huntress, so I was reading on another site that Ringo on Unter Uns might be finally getting a male love interest, Valentin. Does it sound worth checking out? I was vastly disappointed in how the Ringo and Yannick story turned out a few years ago. 

Jenny? I know sometimes people come out later in life, but this seems a bit "jump the shark" (or whatever is the German equivalent of the saying). Bring on a guy for Deniz! He's already Bi. 

Vanessa won the poll for AWZ? I must have radically different tastes than the viewers, I've never ever liked her. LOL

Has any of Deniz's pairings post-Roman worked? Agreed, they should write him out

I'm happy to see CBS finally making a Star Trek show, but I'm disappointed it's going to be for their streaming service. I get they want CBS All Access to be more like Netflix, but Star Trek should be on CBS proper or the CW at least. 

It started out slow. Episode got better as it went on. I really didn't buy Chris Rock as a dangerous drug lord though. 

That's exciting to see a new soap opera launch. Strange they'd try to launch it in a timeslot that has other soap competition 

That's cool Jo's character is still around. Sad to see he's stuck in a boring story. I saw a picture of Jo and Igor together, IF ONLY.

I like the Nate and Aaron story, but so far I don't see any chemistry between the actors.

Not dead yet. Degrassi to live on Netflix:

Yeah, Supergirl won't move to CW if it's canceled, unless WB is willing to cut the budget big time. Being on CBS, it's not going to be able to fly with ratings the ratings Gotham and SHIELD deliver, it's going to have to be more. I'd guess it's going to have to at least do about what Scorpion does (maybe a bit less since it airs an hour earlier).

Glad to see CBS doing something out of their comfort zone. I'm sure if it doesn't get ratings on CBS, Warner Bros. will move it to the CW. Since it's being produced by Greg Berlanti, I wonder if the show will be set in the same universe as The Flash/Arrow and we'll get crossovers.

Sadly, they're not venturing too outside of it. Unless the pilot was changed, it's still supposed to be a crime procedural. There are rumors it might be in the same universe as Flash/Arrow since Greg Berlanti is the producer of all three, but I don't think CBS has commented one way or the other of it being in the same universe.

Aw, I'll miss Can. He reminded me of an early Deniz.

Katja, I won't miss at all. She had potential when she first started, but quickly became annoying.

While this season has had it's moments I've enjoyed, I'm ready for the show to be done. Even without that promo, last night's episode very much felt like the show knows it's done and began to wrap things up.

Yay I was half right! Sad he's going to be a love interest for Vanessa. Never liked her. Deniz dated her too, so maybe I can still hope? I want my German Super gay couple damn it! LOL

Well, GZSZ has Jasmin and Anni, a lesbian couple. Both have been together for almost a year now.

Thanks Huntress. Do you think AWZ will ever give Deniz another male love interest? I know on some forums, I've read comments that people feel the show hasn't gone there because they are afraid it would make Deniz and Roman less special and make the DeRo fans upset if they had him fall for another man. While I can't speak for DeRo fans, personally, I don't think it would. I was a huge DeRo fan, but Roman died like 4-5 years ago. I think the show messed up by not ever pairing up Joscha and Deniz. Heck, if VL isn't going to use Jo/Ollie, AWZ should snag him and pair him with Igor/Deniz. They could probably attract a lot of former Chrolli and DeRo fans.
