Members Skylover Posted May 24, 2020 Members Share Posted May 24, 2020 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted May 25, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 25, 2020 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 Please register in order to view this content 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skylover Posted May 25, 2020 Members Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) 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.

Members Huntress Posted May 26, 2020 Author Members Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) 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". Edited May 26, 2020 by Huntress 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Huntress Posted June 19, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 19, 2020 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Huntress Posted June 19, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) 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.

Members DRW50 Posted June 19, 2020 Members Share Posted June 19, 2020 I wonder if they will bring Olli back. What do you think of Sunny? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Huntress Posted June 22, 2020 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2020 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
