Members Huntress Posted January 28 Author Members Share Posted January 28 (edited) Some news: Thomas Drechsel (Tuner) is departing GZSZ in late February/early March 2024 after having being on contract for almost 14 years. In the past few years, the character hasn't had a major storyline and he should have been written out ages ago. Last year, the same could have been said for Felix van Deventer's Jonas, but they finally managed to turn the tables and gave Jonas a major arc with his sudden paralysis.

Members AMCOLTLLover Posted February 5 Members Share Posted February 5 Tuner has been there for 15 years and I always thought they could’ve sent his character packing for the last few years. U have to give it to the show: they tried! They really tried to keep him around as much as possible. I remember when he joined the show and they were ganging up Carsten coz he was gay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted April 9 Author Members Share Posted April 9 (edited) On April 15th, 2024, GZSZ will celebrate its 8000th episode. In contrast to previous anniversaries, this episode will be of regular length. The 8000th episode will focus on the murder trial against Carlos (Patrick Fernandez), with Alicia (Josefin Bressel), Katrin (Ulrike Frank) and Tobias (Jan Kittmann) also being front and center. Please register in order to view this content The show is also having a "back from the dead" moment since Lara Dandelion Seibert returns to the show a few episodes before the anniversary. Last summer, Seibert recurred as Zoe Vogt, a professional killer. In September 2023, Zoe was severely injured after a hostage situation and seemingly died off-screen. Fast forward to now, when an unsuspecting Yvonne runs into a vitally alive Zoe at a gas station ... Seibert is now on contract with the show. Current Contract Cast (as of #8000): Pauline AFAJA as Flo Kästner (March 2024-present; recurring previously) Wolfgang BAHRO as Dr. Jo Gerner (February 1993-present) Lennart BORCHERT as Moritz Bode (June 2020-present) Josefin BRESSEL as Alicia Bäumler (October 2023-present) Felix van DEVENTER as Jonas Seefeld (July 2014-present) Patrick FERNANDEZ as Carlos Lopes (November 2022-present) Ulrike FRANK as Katrin Flemming (April 2004-present; recurring previously) Patrick HEINRICH as Erik Fritsche (May 2019-present; recurring previously) Felix von JASCHEROFF as John Bachmann (July 2001-February 2014; February 2015-present) Jan KITTMANN as Tobias Evers (October 2020-present) Olivia MAREI as Toni Ahrens (July 2018-November 2022; October 2023-present) Anne MENDEN as Emily Wiedmann (December 2004-present) Niklas OSTERLOH as Paul Wiedmann (December 2016-present) Lars PAPE as Michi Bode (July 2022-present; recurring previously) Eva Mona RODEKIRCHEN as Maren Seefeld (December 2010-September 2022; June 2023-present) Jörn SCHLÖNVOIGT as Dr. Philip Höfer (December 2004-present) Lara Dandelion SEIBERT (April 2024-present; recurring previously) Iris Mareike STEEN as Lilly Seefeld (December 2010-present) Timur ÜLKER as Nihat Güney (September 2018-present) Marc WEINMANN as Luis Ahrens #2 (September 2021-present) Gisa ZACH as Yvonne Bode (January 2019-present) Currently on maternity leave: Nina ENSMANN as Jessica Reichelt Chryssanthi KAVAZI as Laura Bachmann Maria WEDIG as Nina Ahrens Meanwhile, the other two RTL soaps are ... just there. I think AWZ has introduced a new figure skater and has a lesbian wedding coming up, but they're absolutely building no momentum. Maximilian has returned for the umpteenth time, but no one cares. UU is bringing back another forgotten character from the distant past in the form of Charlotte Sommer, a contract role from 2008 to 2010. At least she will be played by her original portrayer Anna Julia Antonucci. Edited Wednesday at 10:37 AM by Huntress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCOLTLLover Posted April 9 Members Share Posted April 9 Unter Uns has become so boring. AWZ has been dead weight for ages. I didn’t even noticed that Maximilian has been gone again lol GZSZ is doing OK but it’s not as entertaining as it used to be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Huntress Posted Wednesday at 11:15 AM Author Members Share Posted Wednesday at 11:15 AM (edited) Filming for the new GZSZ "spin-off" began at the end of May. The official title is "Uferpark – Gute Zeiten, Wilde Zeiten" (= "Uferpark – Good Times, Wild Times"). Official synopsis (translated): "In the heart of Berlin, teenagers Amina, Yunis, Lea, Pepe, and Milo take over an old skatepark (= the aforementioned 'Uferpark') for themselves. The friends form a tight-knit clique, sticking together through thick and thin while grappling with the challenges of growing up: Amina is torn between her best friend Yunis and the enigmatic Ben, whose crew constantly causes trouble in the neighborhood. Lea is questioning her professional skating career, Milo is determined to find his own path in music, and Pepe unexpectedly proves to have managerial skills. Together, the group develops an unwavering determination to defend "their" skatepark against all odds. They stand together for their place in society, for unity, and for themselves as a group." The first official press release didn't mention any crossovers with the main show at all. They could have used some of GZSZ's legacy children for one of the main roles (for example Kate, Oskar Moreno, or even John's son Benjamin), but I guess they don't want to establish too many connections since this new show is aimed at a completely different target audience and will also air on a different channel. The press release also doesn't call it a spin-off, but rather a show that is "set in the GZSZ universe". --- Meanwhile, one of RTL2's trashy pseudo soaps has been given the axe – at least on linear television. "Köln 50667", which has aired weekdays at 6 pm since 2013, has moved to streaming only. The show will continue on RTL+ for at least six months, and two new episodes will be released every week. "Köln 50667" is a spin-off of "Berlin – Tag & Nacht" which was launched in 2011. Both shows boomed when reality shows flooded the television landscape, and for a time they almost had a higher market share than the regular soaps on rivalling channels – but it didn't last long. In 2022, "Köln 50667" only had a market share of 2 %. In a desperate attempt to attract new viewers, half of the cast was fired and replaced by new characters, and even the setting was changed. It didn't work out. In contrast, "Berlin – Tag & Nacht", which airs weekdays at 7 pm (against AWZ and GZSZ on RTL), is still doing okay. --- Some new GZSZ outtakes: Edited Wednesday at 11:17 AM by Huntress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCOLTLLover Posted Wednesday at 08:56 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 08:56 PM But I can’t say that I’m sorry for Köln. I’m even more surprised that they still keep it going even if it’s streaming only. That show has been dead since 2019/2020.. BUT I have to say that RTL2 really tried with Köln 50667. Bringing back OG cast member, revamping locations etc. Even create a whole new cast and setting and just keep like 4 from the old cast. They tried but this show had run its course. I got my ticket for the “Unter Uns” Fan event in August. Can’t wait to meet Miriam Lahnstein that plays on it for a while but is more well known for her legendary character “Tanja von Lahnstein” from old soap “Verbotene Liebe”.. Im so hyped to meet her. And Paco Weigel portrayed by Milos Vucovic since 2000 (he only took a 4 month break since then) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
