I saw this - I've stalked him on Instagram and he's hot Thanks! That's fascinating.

Thanks for the info. I don't watch Coronation Street, Emmerdale or Hollyoaks because of the Northern accents. The Australian accents of Neighbours and Home and Away, and the London accent of EastEnders are all closer to the language where I come from. I find there is a significant cultural difference with the Northern shows. I have wondered about German dialects/accents. I know there are huge differences between Swiss and Austrian German to standard German. Is there much difference in your opinion between German in Hessen/Frankfurt area to the rest of the country? That's where I used to live. I put on UU and AWZ at the weekend but didn't like them as much as GZSZ.

Thanks @Huntress. I've been watching the show regularly. I love Katrin/Jo/Yvonne. I'm not keen on Erik as his German is hard to understand, but everyone else is clear as day. Have the post-pandemic episodes begun to air now? I saw an episode the other day which mostly focused on Jo and Maren's partner reminiscing about the past? The attempted rape storyline with Emily is good, she's one of my favourite characters. I quite like Paul too.

I don't like any of those characters anyway 😂 Thanks Huntress. I really enjoyed the 7000th episode.

I love that Modjo song @victoria foxton This song just brought a tear to my eye 😭

Thanks @Huntress, what's the story between Katrin/Jo/Yvonne at the moment?

Thanks, I'll check it out

Thanks, I've never heard of a Google Chromecast, how do you use it?

Not sure yet as not watched yet - catching up on Classic EastEnders and still got 12 episodes to go 😆 I'll post here once I've watched it. Which country are you from and have you been able to watch GZSZ on your TV? I think you have to download the app to do it and it looks like it's not able to download outside of Germany I've been watching on my laptop but I'd much rather be able to put it on the TV. Apparently 1992 to 1996 of GZSZ is available on RTL now as well as 2002-2003 and a couple of other years.

@Huntress did Zac leave with her and if so is he coming back?

Oh wow, I remember her! Has it really been 7 years Thanks for the cast list, much appreciated!

Welcome @Huntress do you by any chance have a current cast list for GZSZ in chronological order? Thanks in advance.

That's sad Episode 7000 of GZSZ tonight! Can't wait

Yeah, temperatures are being checked when the Neighbours cast arrive each morning.

Thanks guys.

The black gay footballer is hot. Are his storylines any good?

Total slag.

Nice to see Britney in there. Astonishing to see someone like Rihanna so high.

Really enjoyed Leitita Dean's performance in last night's episode. And Sharon talking about Dennis being the love of her life and how Phil took him and Denny away from her.

Oh sorry, blonde moment! Well I just hope one day she gets out of that damn ridiculous conservatorship. What do you think about the #FreeBritney thing? Surely there must be reasons for the conservatorship to be in place though still? Unless the courts have it in for her too...

I'd have thought the opposite. Surely if she has no control over her money why would she bother putting the effort in?
