Welcome. @Huntress has been holding down the fort here for years, keeping us informed even as I don't really know where to find most of the episodes and would barely be able to keep track of the stories at this point without their help. Glad to see someone else here who shares this interest.

I'm glad to hear that people are enjoying my posts ;)

 

By the way, due to the Corona pandemic and the filming hiatus, GZSZ will air 4 special episodes in the coming weeks. They will mostly consist of flashbacks. The first episode will focus on Jo and Alexander's complicated friendship, and the second one will feature Erik's troubled past. These episodes are running out of order and do not count as regular episodes.

 

GZSZ also announced today that Senta-Sofia Delliponti will return for a multi-week guest arc this summer. The actress played Tanja Seefeld, Maren's oldest daughter, on contract from 2010 to 2013. Tanja was a wild child and the complete opposite of her shy half-sister Lilly. She was involved with Vince and Zac and wanted to bond with her father, American rock star Kurt LeRoy. In 2013, she left for Australia and has rarely been mentioned since. After her exit from GZSZ, Senta-Sofia Delliponti started a successful music career. Under the moniker "Oonagh", she has released 4 studio albums – all of them reached the Top 10 on the German charts.

I don't remember her playing that part as I've not watched for long enough, but I do know 'Ooonagh' - I didn't realise she was originally known for being on GZSZ that's exciting that she'll be coming back!

 

What did people think of the 7000th episode?  I really enjoyed it, and managed to understand most of it!

. I love the friendship between Katrin and Maren, and think Nina is great too. I'm not really very keen on Yvonne so enjoyed Katrin revealing secrets.  I thought the storyline was fun, but also thought the moment where Katrin was about to walk into the sea, but heard Maren scream as she fell down the cliff was really electric! 

 

I think this show does female friendships really well.  I really enjoyed the dynamic between Emily, Sophie and Jasmin as that was a big story when I started watching and hooked me in.

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.

I'm from the UK. I don't watch any of the UK soaps any more now. I used to watch them all years ago.  I don't really have the time, but they don't interest me so much anyway these days. If I had to watch one I'd watch Emmerdale as I've watched that on and off until about 2 years ago. 

 

I load GZSZ on the tvnow website tvnow.de on my laptop, then I cast it to my tv using a google chromecast.  It's free on that website. You only have to pay if you want to see the upcoming episodes that haven't been on tv yet.  The recent on TV eps are free too watch for a week after they've been on tv. It works pretty well.  You can even have subtitles now which you didn't used to be able to, which helps me with my german learning! 

 

I used to watch some of AWZ too, about 3 years ago when I understood a lot less,  but I don't really like it so much now. I preferred the old actress playing Marie, and it doesn't seem to have many interesting storylines at the moment.

Zac departed the show in December 2014. He left for California where he was supposed to work as an app developer or something like that. I didn't really like Zac because he was usually used as a comic relief.

 

This site has character profiles of all the main characters the show has ever had: https://www.soapsworld.de/gute-zeiten-schlechte-zeiten-gzsz/rollenprofile (although the profiles of most current characters are empty or haven't been updated since 2014/2015). You can use Google translator to translate the texts to English. Sometimes the grammar is a bit awkward and some translations sound odd, but it's tolerable.

 

Here's the translation of Zac's profile: https://translate.google.de/translate?hl=de&tab=wT&sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soapsworld.de%2Fgute-zeiten-schlechte-zeiten-gzsz%2Frollenprofile%2Fzacharias-klingenthal

When drunk, Katrin ran over a homeless person and Jo tried to cover it up. Yvonne took care of the homeless person and became suspicious.

 

This morning, the show announced that 4 cast members will leave the show this summer:

 

Please register in order to view this content

 

– Clemens Löhr (Alexander Cöster) after 11 years

– Gamze Senol (Shirin Akinci) after 2.5 years
– Nils Schulz (Robert Klee) after 1.5 years

– Annabella Zetsch (Brenda Schubert) after 1 year

 

According to a press release, all 4 depart on their own request.

 

Alex will most likely die since Maren already dreamt that something bad might happen to her family soon. His death could also be the reason for Tanja's return.
Robert and Brenda will probably leave town together. As for Shirin, I have no idea. They just introduced her 2 cousins Nazan and Leyla to the canvas.

    • The thing that I am stuck on is that the in studio scenes in Egypt started airing in mid-October. It seems very strange that they would have planned to have a couple of weeks of studio scenes airing before they started showing location footage. Normally even though some scenes in a remote-infused storyline are in studio, they would start airing a mixture of studio and location footage at the same time. I suspect they had put Arizona in their back pocket well before the Achille Lauro (hence Hawk arriving in September) and possibly moved up the Egypt in-studio action so that the remote Arizona piece unfolded during November. The Achille Lauro may have been the final straw but I would bet it was not the first time they considered the risk. I have found one somewhat contemporaneous reference published on October 19th but pinned to an October 7th* "diary entry" mentioning that the location shoot in Egypt had been changed to Arizona. "International terrorism has its effect on daytime drama, too. Another World producers had scheduled an elaborate and expensive location shoot in Egypt this fall, But with the serious military attacks and hijackings going on, they decided to play it safe. They are going to Arizona instead. The cast members involved were disappointed but understood the decision." *Undated, but specified as the Monday before Melody Thomas's wedding to Ed Scott. But of course it's possible that the first draft referred to Egypt and was revised after October 7th to mention the cancellation before it went to press. But even making the decision the week of October 7th seems tight to get the Egypt scenes to air on the 17th/18th. I would love to find something from a daily news cycle that would be clearer about the dates.
    • So, Maxim, at this moment in time Evan is under the (mistaken) impression that, for no good reason, Rachel murdered his mother, in cold blood, and his ulterior motive for coming to Bay City is to get vengeance for this wrong that was done to his family & him.  Now, Rachel never murdered anyone. Janice had the knife on her & she pulled the knife on Rachel in the fight they were having. The reason they were fighting was because Janice had been poisoning Mac. So, this sets out the difference between the Frame family version of events & reality as the rest of us know it to be. Also no one in Bay City knows Evan is Janice's son. He goes by Evan Bates, not Frame.

                        Janice Frame is Evan's mother. Janice & Mac were together. Janice was up to no good. Mitch was helping her. She was slowly, little by little, every day, POISONING Mac. She was almost successful. In St. Croix, Rachel & Janice began what was literally a physical fight. They fell into the resort swimming pool, continuing to fight each other. Somehow, I guess Janice had it on her, there was a knife in play but Rachel kept Janice from stabbing her & got it away from her & they continued to struggle until Rachel stabbed Janice, which was a death blow. Mitch did a 180 & helped Rachel get Mac to the hospital. He was so weakened by the poison he could not even stand unassisted. It took both of them together to walk him to the hospital but it did save his life.  The St. Croix remote was SO beautiful, but so dangerous & scary. Also action-packed. Hooray! Maxim's backSo, I just got home & this is what I found waiting for me. I wrote this several hours ago. I guess I neglected to hit send.
    • Thanks @skylark and @DRW50!
    •     data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAPABAP///wAAACH5BAEKAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAICRAEAOw== Earlier I made a long reply but it doesn't exist. Crap.
    • I do not think I have ever agreed with Vee. Normally I do not read him, Ignore ya know. For some unknown reason I clicked to read. And I agree 1000%. Now, this is so odd that I need to go away for a bit.
    • Justine had a lot of hooey in it, but she was an actual woman, not a guy in drag. She was a doppelganger of Rachel, French, having had a past history with Carl, etc. Two of the more outrageous parts-Justine bricking alive Vicky into a wall & Justine grinding the gears driving a big rig.
    • Hehe, twi/x actually x, formerly Twitter. Typically I find 2 sources for "crazy fan rumors" - the wrong parts of FB and x. Oy.
    • Not to hijack the thread, but was that character Justine? I just found this interview online with Logan and see what you're talking about - wow!   http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/chat85.html
