"Sturm der Liebe" is a telenovela which has been on the air since 2005, running weekdays at 5.15 pm throughout the whole year. Once a year they change the main couple – currently the show is in its seventh cycle with the triangle consisting of Theresa (Ines Lutz), Moritz (Daniel Fünffrock) and Konstantin (Moritz Tittel) as the major story arc.

At first Moritz Tittel played both Moritz and Konstantin, who are twin brothers, but grew up in different families – Moritz in a wealthy one and Konstantin in a poor one – and never knew about each other's existence. Moritz falls in love with Theresa, but at the same time Konstantin appears in town and poses as Moritz because he's jealous of Moritz's life. When Moritz confronts Konstantin, the two men fight and Moritz is presumed dead. In the aftermath, Konstantin takes over Moritz's life. Nobody knows that Moritz is still alive. However, he had to undergo plastic surgery because of his injuries. He returns to town, now played by Daniel Fünffrock, in order to claim his old life back. The big question is: Who will Theresa eventually choose?

Yes, that was indeed the reason.

Herzflimmern, another German soap that's been airing weekdays at 4 p.m. on ZDF since April 2011, received a major overhaul due to its weak ratings last week. Initially called Herzflimmern – Die Klinik am See (literal translation: Heart Flutter – The Lake Hospital), the show is now called Herzflimmern – Liebe zum Leben (Heart Flutter – Love For Life). 55 new episodes have been ordered, but I'm pretty sure that the soap will be cancelled soon.

The old opening (April 2011 to October 2011):

The new opening (October 2011 to present):

The new opening looks like a cheap copy of the Sturm der Liebe opening.

Nine contract cast members were let go and exited the show between episodes 127 and 131. Among them were all members of the Lindner family who dominated the storylines from the very beginning. Three of them can be seen in the final montage of the first opening.

In the beginning I loved it! The show had a great mix of high suspense drama and comic relief. Unfortunately, neither the network nor the creator were expecting the show to take off like it did. It was mass hysteria. People would rearrange their schedules to watch this show. I believe I had read somewhere that the show was only supposed to last a year or two, but very late in the game because of its great success, the creator (Nikos Foskolos) was asked to continue with the show (it ended up lasting something like 15 years). It changed the whole pace/flow of the show/stories and a lot of original actors left and were replaced because they had lined up new projects already.

The show continued with great success for many years but ran off of a contrived formula. New characters/actors would be written in, a “connection” would be made or forced to an existing character and everything would build to a great confrontation and then start over again with no after math or mention of the past.

Overall , it had a great cast and some really good stories!

For its time it did! I remember they did an AIDS story very early on with a main character and had a priest in an affair. They also touched on alcoholism and substance abuse. They pushed the envelope a fair bit for the times as far as Greeks are concerned lol

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
