Huntress

Felix von Jascheroff, who has played John Bachmann on GZSZ for more than 20 years, took part in the 7th season of The Masked Singer Germany. Disguised as the Black Mamba, he reached the 6th place.

Felix is not the first soap actor to grace the Masked Singer stage; however, he is the only one who has taken part while still being on a soap. In past seasons, Susan Sideropoulos (GZSZ and its spin-off Leon), Jeanette Biedermann (GZSZ) and Thore Schölermann (Verbotene Liebe) appeared as the Disco Ball, Butterfly and Monstronaut, respectively.

---

Speaking of GZSZ's spin-offs, the "Leon" spin-off was apparently so successful that it receives a second season. It will probably premiere on RTL+ in early 2023. The other two spin-offs, "Sunny" and "Nihat", were done after 1 season.

Some casting news:

• There are three new contract roles on GZSZ: Nina Ensmann plays Jessica Reichelt, Nina's younger sister. Daniel Noah has joined the cast as police officer Sascha Beck, who's investigating Martin's disappearance. Lastly, Patrick Fernandez has been cast in a yet unnamed role. He's rumoured to be Nina's ex-boyfriend.
• In turn, Niklas Osterloh (Paul) and Eva Mona Rodekirchen (Maren) have departed the show – for now. Osterloh is supposed to return next year. Olivia Marei (Toni) will be on maternity leave for several months.
• On UU, Julius Dombrink replaced Akeem van Flodrop in the role of Theo Wolters. Jess Maura has joined the cast as Theo's younger sister Paula. Bettine Langehein plays Stella Richter, a young woman with a dangerous past. Isabel Vollmer (Monika) departs the show after two years.
• UU celebrates its 7000th episode on November 23rd, 2022.

Regarding Maren, I feel like the writers didn't know what to do with her since Emma was born. In the past few years, she only had filler stories and was used as Katrin's sidekick and comic relief. Eva's acting was brillant during the whole Frederic Riefflin saga. Maybe she'll return in the future.

Lilly and the others let Martin drown:

Some more outtakes:

Interestingly enough, both Lauren Koslow (Margo) and Todd McKee (Jake) were bumped to recurring status in episode 1251 (March 1992). Both departed the show one month later.

Regarding Hunter Tylo in 1996: She is listed in the closing credits starting with episode 2386 (September 1996), but remarkably, among the recurring players.

15 hours ago, I Am A Swede said:

No Taylor?  

Hunter Tylo had quit B&B in June 1996 after receiving the part of Taylor McBride on Melrose Place. However, she was fired from that show prior to filming any scenes because of her pregnancy (which led to a much discussed lawsuit back in the day). Tylo returned to B&B in August 1996, but she wasn't listed in the closing credits in the first season 10 episodes that have so far been uploaded to YouTube. She'll probably pop in the next bunch of episodes.

Dorothy Lyman (Bonnie Roberts) was only on contract for a few weeks. She was bumped to recurring in episode 1230 and made a few more appearances before departing the show for good.

Little jump to season 10: The following cast members were on contract in September 1996.

• Landry Allbright – Bridget Forrester
• Tracey E. Bregman – Lauren Fenmore
• Kimberlin Brown – Sheila Carter
• Ian Buchanan – James Warwick
• Darlene Conley – Sally Spectra
• Barbara Crampton – Maggie Forrester
• Bobbie Eakes – Macy Alexander
• Susan Flannery – Stephanie Forrester
• Charles Grant – Grant Chambers
• Brent Jasmer – Sly Donovan
• Katherine Kelly Lang – Brooke Logan
• John McCook – Eric Forrester
• Daniel McVicar – Clarke Garrison
• Ronn Moss – Ridge Forrester
• Dylan Neal – Dylan Shaw
• Lindsay Price – Michael Lai
• Kyle Sahiby – C.J. Garrison
• Lark Voorhies – Jasmine Malone
• Maitland Ward – Jessica Forrester

Despite being featured on the opening credits, Jeff Trachta (Thorne) and Schae Harrison (Darla) were only recurring. In turn, Brent Jasmer (and child actors Allbright and Sahiby) were not included in the opening credits.

Contract Changes between episodes 890 and 1200:
Note: Full closing credits are not shown regularly. Usually, they appear every 5th episode, but sometimes there aren't any credits for up to 10 episodes.

Episode 1129:

Still more GZSZ outtakes ...

On 6/25/2022 at 10:35 PM, AMCOLTLLover said:

It’s a shame they didn’t included Philip and Fabian from the 90‘s. They were together for a long time for soap couple standards. 

and where are Jasmin and Paula from the mid 00‘s? They were amazing 

They probably didn't have enough time to edit new videos for these couples  All other videos were basically recycled older uploads.
Btw, I also loved GZSZ's first LGBT couple Saskia and Harumi back in 1996. They were only together for like 3 months, but they had such good chemistry.

On UU, there's been quite an unusual cast switchover this summer.

• Constantin Lücke, who took over the role of Till Weigel in September 2020 after Ben Ruedinger had played the part for 20 years, left the show earlier this month.
• Also gone are Till's girlfriend Mareike Ott (played by Mirja du Mont) and his son Conor (played by Yannik Meyer). Meyer was the first adult actor in the role and joined the cast in 2018.
• Claudelle Deckert, who's played Till's on and off wife Eva Wagner since 2001, is taking an extended break. This week, Eva moves to Bruxelles with her latest lover Dominic (played by Jo Weil). Weil, whose character came out as transgender, is also departing the show.
• Luca Maric, who's played Robert Küpper since January 2015, is rumoured to be leaving soon with his character being killed off. Until her shocking death three years ago, Robert was married to Weigel matriarch Irene.
• Recurring character Theo Wolters is rumoured to be recast. Akeem van Flodrop has portrayed the friendly baker since 2020.
• Last month, the show re-introduced the character of Marie Lassner, Rolf Jäger's daughter with Pia Lassner, who was born in 2009. Shortly after giving birth, Pia fled town with her newborn. Now a teenager, Marie arrived in town to learn more about her past and her crazy family. Marie has three half-siblings: Tobias Lassner, David Junker, and Fiona Jäger. The latter was killed off earlier this year in a "shocking" twist. Marie is played by Maira Kellers in a recurring capacity.
• Last but not least, 64-year old actress Iris Werlin joins the cast as Corinna's aunt Lulu Schwarz who is supposed to stir up the lives of Corinna and her husband Chris Weigel. Ironically, Schwarz (which means Black) was also the maiden name of Chris's late mother Irene, and in the early years, the show featured Irene's brother and niece who also had Schwarz as their last name. I guess the producers aren't very creative when it comes to choosing family names.

New GZSZ outtakes:

The YouTube uploads are up to Sherilyn Wolter replacing Hunter Tylo as Taylor in late 1990.

Continuing with this list of contract changes:

Contract Changes between episodes 631 and 900:
Note: Full closing credits are not shown regularly. Usually, they appear every 5th episode, but sometimes there aren't any credits for up to 10 episodes.

Episode 649:

Episode 659:

• Michael Fox – Saul Feinberg (added, recurring previously)

Episode 687:

Episode 701:

• Colleen Dion – Felicia Forrester (added)

Episode 748:

• Teri Ann Linn – Kristen Forrester (removed; character left town in episode 732)
• Jeff Conaway – Mick Savage (removed; character left town in episode 732)

Episode 758:

• Brian Patrick Clarke – Storm Logan #2 (added)

Episode 770:

• Todd McKee – Jake Maclaine (added)

• John Brandon – Ben Maclaine (added)
• Jane Rogers – Julie Delorean (added)

Episode 894:

• Hunter Tylo – Dr. Taylor Hayes (removed)
• Sherilyn Wolter – Dr. Taylor Hayes (temporary recast; added)

Regarding the opening credits, it's striking that Felicia, Storm, Jake and Taylor were added to the sequence shortly after their first appearances, but Darla and Saul, who became part of the regular cast much earlier, were not added until 1993.

For Pride Month, GZSZ uploaded some highlights of their few LGBTQ+ storylines.

Last Week on GZSZ: Big Confessions

New Outtakes

The most obvious examples for B&B would be Sally and Clarke. The latter drove so much story during his first stint from 1987 to 1992. After his 1996 return, the writers soon didn't know what to do with him – he was even gone for almost a whole year between 1998 and 1999 – and I think his last "bigger" story was in 2002 when his now adult son Mark came to town (which, in typical B&B fashion, fizzled out quickly). In 2005, Clarke was demoted to recurring status and last appeared in 2009.

Regarding Sally, she was still featured regularly until a few months before Darlene Conley's death, but by the late 90s, the only story she was given was the annual "Spectra is going bankrupt!" fuss which usually lasted for two weeks. Other than that, she was mostly a talk-to.

AWZ has updated its opening and removed Vanessa, Christoph, Marian and Moritz. In turn, Leyla, Imani and Henning were added for the first time, while Nathalie was reinserted.
Strangely enough, Berrit Arnold (Daniela) has not been added.

2022.1/A
Order: Tatjana Clasing as Simone Steinkamp – Francisco Medina as Maximilian von Altenburg – Cheyenne Pahde as Marie Schmidt – Dominik Flade as Yannick Ziegler – Franziska van der Heide as Ina Ziegler – Lisandra Bárdel as Malu Santos – Igor Dolgatschew as Deniz Öztürk – Suri Abbassi as Leyla Öztürk – Kaja Schmidt-Tychsen as Jenny Steinkamp – Jörg Rohde as Ben Steinkamp – Alles was zählt

2022.1/B
Order: Matthias Brüggenolte as Justus Albrecht – Ania Niedieck as Isabelle Reichenbach – Silvan-Pierre Leirich as Richard Steinkamp – Férèba Koné as Imani Okana – Christopher Kohn as Finn Albrecht – Amrei Haardt as Nathalie Reichenbach von Altenburg – Julia Wiedemann as Lucie Ziegler – Stefan Bockelmann as Henning Ziegler – Alexandra Fonsatti as Chiara Nadolny – Jasmin Minz as Kim Bremer Steinkamp – Alles was zählt

This Week on GZSZ: Broken Hearts

Like every year, there was some drama concerning the voting: In semi-final 2, six national juries apparently decided to swap votes. However, this was noticed by the EBU, so the jury votes of these countries were declared null and void, and artificial results were calculated instead. The same happened again in the Grand Final. The involved countries were Azerbaijan, Georgia, Montenegro, Romania, Poland, and San Marino.

https://eurovision.tv/mediacentre/release/ebu-statement-irregular-voting-2022

I'm fine with Ukraine winning – I mean, it was kind of to be expected

It was also clear that Germany would finish last once again – after all, our broadcaster NDR just doesn't give a damn. In the pre-selection, they made it very clear that they were looking for "the perfect radio song". Well, they got exactly that – a radio song which is fine as background noise, but doesn't work on a big stage. I just feel sorry for these young artists that get burned year after year.

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.

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.

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
Schae Harrison – Darla
Katherine Kelly Lang – Brooke Logan Forrester
John McCook – Eric Forrester
Ronn Moss – Ridge Forrester
Dylan Neal – Dylan Shaw
Chris Robinson – Jack Hamilton
Michael Sabatino – Anthony Armando

...
Jeff Trachta – Thorne Forrester
Ken Hanes – Mike Guthrie
Brian George – Ahmed
Various Models
Kimiko Cazanov – Trish
Jeff Allin – Lt. Burke
Maeve Quinlan – Megan
Michael Clark Duncan – Slash

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.
