Huntress

San Marino was robbed  Didn't expect Azerbaijan or Belgium to qualify.

Czech Republic was awesome.

Recap of the 2nd Semi-Final:

Running order for the Grand Final:

1. Czech Republic: We Are Domi – "Lights Off"
2. Romania: WRS – "Llámame"
3. Portugal: MARO – "Saudade, saudade"
4. Finland: The Rasmus – "Jezebel"
5. Switzerland: Marius Bear – "Boys Do Cry"
6. France: Alvan & Ahez – "Fulenn"
7. Norway: Subwoolfer – "Give That Wolf a Banana"
8. Armenia: Rosa Linn – "Snap"
9. Italy: Mahmood & Blanco – "Brividi"
10. Spain: Chanel – "SloMo"
11. Netherlands: S10 – "De diepte"
12. Ukraine: Kalush Orchestra – "Stefania"
13. Germany: Malik Harris – "Rockstars"
14. Lithuania: Monika Liu – "Sentimentai"
15. Azerbaijan: Nadir Rustamli – "Fade to Black"
16. Belgium: Jérémie Makiese – "Miss You"
17. Greece: Amanda Georgiadi Tenfjord – "Die Together"
18. Iceland: Systur – "Með hækkandi sól"
19. Moldova: Zdob şi Zdub & Advahov Brothers – "Trenulețul"
20. Sweden: Cornelia Jakobs – "Hold Me Closer"
21. Australia: Sheldon Riley – "Not the Same"
22. United Kingdom: Sam Ryder – "SPACE MAN"
23. Poland: Ochman – "River"
24. Serbia: Konstrakta – "In corpore sano"
25. Estonia: Stefan – "Hope"

I think it will be a race between Ukraine, Sweden, United Kingdom and Spain – and maybe even Estonia has a shot.

Yeah, I would have swapped Switzerland with Croatia – but I guess there were just too many female artists with guitars.

Here's the recap:

Not to type cast the guy, but not sure I have much interest in Jo Weil playing straight. If was being brought on to stir trouble for Ringo and Easy, then the show would have my attention. 

Jo Weil's character Dominic Adams has been revealed to be a trans man. It's a shame they didn't cast an actual trans actor for the part (like they did on GZSZ's Sunny spin-off).

On AWZ, Féréba Koné has joined the cast in the new contract role Imani Okana. She is going to be Deniz's new love interest.

Probably, but Karen Moncrieff was only listed among the contract cast for 3 weeks. In episode 649, she was removed.

In turn, Michael Fox (Saul) was added to the contract cast in episode 659.

Today it was confirmed that Vildan Cirpan (Dr. Nazan Akinci) is leaving GZSZ after 2 years. Her last airdate is ... today (April 7th, 2022).
It looks as if Nassim Avat, who plays her on-screen husband Kian Dawalu, is also out. He only joined the cast last fall.

Another departure is Sara Fuchs who has played Miriam "Miro" Behnke since September 2021.

In turn, Oliver Franck returns as Martin Ahrens, Toni and Luis's abusive father and Nina's ex-husband. He previously appeared from 2017 to 2018. We can also expect that Lars Pape (Michi Bode) has become a contract cast member since he appears in various promotional images for the show's anniversary.

The show's 30th anniversary will center on Gerner vs. Linostrami with almost the whole cast involved.

After all these years, I still find it fascinating that the actors are doing a big part of the figure skating stuff themselves.

First Semi-Final in Running Order:

Second Semi-Final in Running Order:

Don't know where else to post this but B&B is returning to German television after 11 years. The show last aired here in June 2011 with episodes from early 2011.
Now Warner TV, a pay tv channel, has bought the rights and will start broadcasting episodes from 2018, so they skipped 7 whole years of episodes.

I wonder if the current and classic episodes of B&B's YouTube channel will become geoblocked in Germany once Warner TV starts airing the show.

I just stumbled upon the fact that Jeff Trachta (Thorne #2) was bumped to recurring in 1994 and was also still recurring in 1995. However, he was still on the opening credits.
Some old article about him also mentions the fact: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1995-07-02-tv-19360-story.html

Quote

Jeff Trachta, who plays Thorne Forrester of “The Bold and the Beautiful,” has never lamented the fact that the soap took him off contract in February, 1994.

The credits in May 1995 went as follows:

Scott Thompson Baker – Connor Davis
Kabir Bedi – Price Omar Rashid
Kimberlin Brown – Sheila Carter Forrester
Ian Buchanan – Dr. James Warwick
Darlene Conley – Sally Spectra
Bobbie Eakes – Macy Alexander
Susan Flannery – Stephanie Forrester
Michael Fox – Saul

Bringing this over from the other topic ...

I've always wondered if there's an accurate and reliable list of first and last airdates for all of B&B's contract cast members since its debut episode. There's a lot of contradicting information floating around on various websites.
Since complete closing credits are rare, it's also a challenge to find out when performer XYZ was dropped to recurring. In addition, actors might have been dropped to recurring weeks after their last on-screen appearance.

This is the first song in Dutch since 2010.

Speaking of Ray, I really did like the character and he had good chemistry with both Donna and Valerie. At the beginning of season 6, when JW was upgraded to series regular, they sort of had redeemed his character – he and Donna had spent a harmonic summer and even Queen Kelly Taylor called Ray a "good guy" in one of the early season 6 episodes. Then, a few episodes into the season, he suddenly began acting like a jerk again after Donna had found about his affair with Valerie. A few weeks later, he was written off the show, with him having his last scene with Brandon of all people. However, JW probably didn't leave on bad terms with TPTB because he did appear as a guest star later that season and in a season 7 episode where Ray was presented as reformed and happy.

Ray's "replacement" Joe was one of the most boring characters I've ever seen on a tv show.

IIRC, Tori was in a relationship with Nick Savalas (son of actor Telly Savalas) from at least 1993 to 1995.
Jamie Walters was on 90210 from 1994 to 1995, so if him and Tori indeed dated, it was only for a brief time and after he joined 90210.

Another reason why (referring to what I wrote in the 90210 thread) I think it would have been a good idea to bring in Michael Filerman and/or David Jacobs to help Darren Star at least initially w/ CPW.  They understood better how to pace so that viewers got to know the characters before thrusting them into heavy-duty stories.

This. 90210 got it right by having one "juicy" storyline per episode while the B-plots were more or less light-hearted. Initially, the focus was on Brandon and Brenda, while the other characters were slowly woven into their lives, dealing with their own personal drama. Most other soaps of the 90s and early 2000s tried to be "Melrose Place Season 4" from the get-go and failed miserably. I mean, why should we care if characters get murdered, attacked, blackmailed or cheat on each other if we've just known them for a second?
I think that "Desperate Housewives" was the first primetime soap in a long time to get viewers invested in their characters while slowly building up a mystery in the background. And of course "Desperate Housewives" had a feeling of community, which a lot of the failed soaps didn't have.

I liked both incarnations of CPW – however, the show's biggest problem was that they tried to jump into "juicy" storylines way too fast. They didn't really flesh out everyone's background stories.

Also, the show lacked any shocking, "Oh my God, they didn't" moments. Everything that was supposed to be "shocking" had been foreshadowed for at least a couple of episodes.

For a show targeted at a younger audience, it was also quite dialogue-heavy, gloomy and very static. That's not bad per se, but it reminded me of a daytime soap, just with better production values.

It also lacked characters the audience can root for as everyone is a selfish bitch. Even the supposed "good" characters like Peter, Linda, and Nikki just cared about their own well-being. Stephanie sat on a high horse, but in reality, she was just as rotten as Carrie and Rachel. Regarding Carrie, we didn't even know why she was so evil. Was she just doing it for fun or because she was bored?

Ironically, the episodes that were initially not broadcast in the US (episodes 10 to 13) where the best in the whole series. There was slick dialogue, some heated confrontations, and some of the characters showed new character traits.

The "reboot" had a rough start, but Gerald McRaney and Noelle Beck were good additions to the cast. Raquel Welch was problematic, though. She simply annoyed me, especially the way she spoke with that faux-seductive voice all the time.

The writing in the B plots (Peter/Alex & Carrie/Mark) felt very controversial to me and also quite rushed. In season 1, Peter and Alex are a happy couple, then Peter sleeps with Nikki and acts nonchalant about it when Alex confronts him. Of course, she is hurt and breaks up with him, only to blackmail him into marriage with a faked pregnancy – but in the reboot, the show wants to make us believe that Peter has always been the good guy in this scenario and Alex is the crazy bitch. No, Peter was initially responsible for Alex' downward spiral because he broke her heart.

It was the same with Carrie and Mark. In the beginning, Carrie was obsessed with Mark and she forcefully wanted to destroy his marriage with Stephanie. When she got bored of him, she ditched him in the cruelest way. When he returned in the reboot, he was suddenly portrayed as the bad guy and Carrie acts as if she had a clean slate, even warning other people of him. No honey, you were responsible for him going crazy and you got a taste of your own medicine. The whole storyline was a bad attempt of turning the meanest bitch into a victim.

Sadly this week, Ukraine’s contestant pulled out of the contestant due to a controversy over forged documents relating to a 2015 visit to Crimea. It is not yet determined if Ukraine will send another contestant in her place.

Ukraine will be represented by Kalush Orchestra and their song "Stefania" instead.

In their early seasons, Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place tried to tackle a lot of social issue storylines which were resolved within one episode. Most of these self-contained stories were cringeworthy, yet somewhat entertaining.

At the end of Melrose Place's fourth season, there was this weird child abuse storyline when an old friend of Sydney's appeared in town with her little son, who had bruises on his back. That storyline lasted like 3 episodes and was probably merely created to introduce Jo's love interest Dominick with whom she left town a few episodes later. At the same time, they also had that rather cartoonish statutory rape storyline involving Peter, Michael and a character played by Denise Richards. In season 5, the show did a domestic violence storyline with Matt and his boyfriend-of-the-month, and Matt trying to gain custody of his boring niece Chelsea could also be a called a social issue storyline. As in typical Matt fashion, both stories were C-material at best.
