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.

Erik speaks with a Berlin dialect (called "Berlinerisch"), that's why his pronounciation is different. German has a lot of different dialects (up to 250 according to linguists), but on television you usually only hear Standard German. The actress who plays Toni for example is Austrian, but you can't hear a single trace of an Austrian accent when she speaks.

 

When a character speaks with a certain dialect, it is normally used to emphasize that this character comes from a different background or social class as most dialects are tainted with stereotypes (Bavarian = conservative, Swabian = annoying, Northern = relaxed, Saxon = poor, Ruhr Valley = white trash etc.). I think it's the same with English and its accents

Tuner also speaks with a Berlin dialect, but his dialect has been toned down over the years. Katrin originally comes from the Ruhr Valley area and her mother Irene spoke with a strong Ruhr Valley dialect, highlighting that she was poor and vulgar. The Turkish characters usually speak Standard German, but there was also a character named Mesut – he left in 2017 – who spoke like a chav and was usually perceived as dim-witted (he was mostly used as a comic relief).

 

 

GZSZ only stopped filming for a week or two, so they filmed 4 extra episodes which are filled with flashbacks. The first one featured Jo and Alex, the second one is about Erik's past, the third one focuses on Emily and Lilly, and the fourth one airs at the end of June.

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.

Regarding dialects, everyone is able to speak and understand Standard German, but you can usually recognize where somebody comes from based on their accent and the vocabulary they use. Many people these days don't speak a true dialect, but rather a "regiolect", meaning they speak Standard German mixed with regional vocabulary and a slight accent.

 

A bread roll is a "das Brötchen" in Standard German and most western and northern dialects, but in Swabian it's called "das Weck", in Berlin it's called "die Schrippe" and in Bavarian it's called "die Semmel". In the last two cases, the word even has a different gender.

 

Instead of saying for example "Entschuldigung, ich habe das nicht gewusst" (Sorry, I did not know that), Erik on GZSZ would say "Tschuldjung, ick hab dit nich jewusst".

 

Most Germans can't understand Swiss German, and on tv it's often subtitled. They also have different dialects in Switzerland (and in Austria as well).

 

For Frankfurt/Hessian dialects, I'd say they sound like they're a bit lazy, slurring their consonants and dropping word endings (like the "n" at the end of a verb).

 

The guy in this video demonstrates 8 dialect groups: Northern, Saxon, Swabian, Bavarian, Kölsch, Austrian, Swiss, Franconian.
He reads a text in Standard German, but speaks with typical accents for these dialect groups, so the vocabulary is the same as in Standard German but the pronounciation and intonation differs vastly.

Back on topic... GZSZ will introduce a new contract role in June: 21-year-old actor Lennart Borchert joins the cast as Moritz, who is Yvonne's son and Laura's brother. From 2018 to 2019, Borchert starred on the short-lived soap "Alles oder Nichts".

Regarding the 4 departures from GZSZ, Robert (Nils Schulz) last aired earlier this week.
Brenda (Annabella Zetsch) apparently last airs on July 4th. Both Robert and Brenda move to South Africa.

In today's episode, Alexander (Clemens Löhr) is killed off. He tries to interfere when Shirin has a heated argument with a stranger. By accident, Alex is pushed onto the street and is immediately hit by a truck.
Shirin (Gamze Senol), who is semi-responsible for Alexander's death, leaves town in the middle of July in the dead of night.

 

In a rather strange move, GZSZ receives a new spin-off series that focuses on the character of Sunny Richter (played by Valentina Pahde since 2015). The new series is called "SUNNY – Wer bist du wirklich?" ("SUNNY – Who Are You Really?") and will be produced for TVNOW as a web series, consisting of 20 episodes. Filming will begin next month. In the show's storyline, Sunny departs Berlin and moves to Munich, where she takes a masterclass in photography. There she will be involved in a murder mystery (or something like that).

 

Meanwhile, AWZ has added two new contract roles: Jasmin Minz plays Kim Bremer, a woman from Ben's past; and Matthias Brüggenolte plays Justus Albrecht, Finn's older brother.
Former UU and VL regular Verena Zimmermann currently plays a police officer who's investigating in the murder of Niclas Nadolny.

OMG.

 

As we all remember, "Verbotene Liebe" was canceled by ARD in 2015 after running for 20 years, but now TVNOW wants to resurrect the soap on its streaming platform. TVNOW has been streaming VL from the beginning and they are reportedly very pleased with the numbers. Let's see how this will turn out.

 

ETA: RTL just confirmed it: https://www.rtl.de/cms/serien-hammer-verbotene-liebe-kommt-zurueck-4563439.html
Filming will begin later this year.

According to latest reports, the producers want to bring back several former cast members, and Jo Weil (Olli) was indeed mentioned as being high on the priority list.

 

 

Sunny was a bit overexposed for a while since GZSZ wanted her to be the show's poster girl, but she has been on the backburner for quite a while now. She's good in family scenes and as a best friend (for example for Emily and Lilly), but her own storylines have been hit and miss, especially that awful triangle with brothers Chris and Felix a few years ago. I guess the show doesn't really know what to do with Sunny anymore, but they don't want to lose the actress, so the spin-off might actually be a good idea to reform the character.

 

 

Moritz debuted on June 17th.

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170.

    • That's a name I haven't heard in a minute. Thanks! 
    • Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss. 
    • I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
