Rufus Sturm is back on Unter Uns! He looks really good and refreshed. The break did. him good. I just hope he ain’t sticking around long time again coz they didn’t knew what to do with him for the longest I can remember. I still hate the writers for ruining Original Character Anna Weigel for that snoozefest Rufus lol

It’s such a shame that the writers ruined the Leon/Gerner friendship back in the day (2007-ish) after Gerner faked the death of his own daughter and put Leon in a psychiatric clinic when he came behind it!

They should bring back Leon and let him help Gerner. Leon knows how it feels to be locked up in jail for something he didn’t do. (1998 when Charlie accidentally killed Thalberg and had a blackout for weeks)

At least Katrin believes Gerner and wants to help him. I love it

[Huntress]

Jo Weil's character Dominic Adams has been revealed to be a trans man. It's a shame they didn't cast an actual trans actor for the part (like they did on GZSZ's Sunny spin-off).

On AWZ, Féréba Koné has joined the cast in the new contract role Imani Okana. She is going to be Deniz's new love interest.

GZSZ: Filming the Anniversary Promo

GZSZ: Behind the Scenes at the Anniversary Photo Shoot

Really enjoyed the 30th anniversary special episode!

Thought they did a good job of balancing a good story with the need to have the cast glammed up in a big location worthy of the anniversary at the end! The ending felt a little bit rushed / confused though to me.  The video suddenly getting up on the big screen didn't seem likely, and what was the original plan if Yvonne hadn't managed to get the phone? 

Hope they've got some good stories lined up for the rest of the year! 

[AMCOLTLLover]

I loved the episode so much. It’s in my top 3 anniversary episodes! It still can’t beat the 10th Anniversary in my opinion 

The end was hella rushed. Like wth? Leon’s involvement was alright but nothing really special. U can really tell that Daniel Fehlow seems quiet over the show at this point.

And Katrin and Jo making out ? I mean I always loved them and it is lining up the new storyline but this happened so random. But THANK GOD and a big thank u to the writers for Including a mention of what Jo did to Katrin with Baby Johanna in 2007 where he made her believe that she died. 
Can’t wait for Tobias/Katrin and Yvonne/Jo to be split up. I never liked Yvonne as his wife.
 

It’s a shame they couldn’t get Jos daughter Vanessa for a cameo at the funeral. I mean the actress is playing on Rote Rosen and could have spared some minutes. 
 

I know Paul/Emily have a lot of fans but I do start to like Paul with Gina to be honest!

[Huntress]

AWZ has updated its opening and removed Vanessa, Christoph, Marian and Moritz. In turn, Leyla, Imani and Henning were added for the first time, while Nathalie was reinserted.
Strangely enough, Berrit Arnold (Daniela) has not been added.

This Week on GZSZ: Broken Hearts

Edited May 25, 2022 by Huntress

[AMCOLTLLover]

I don’t really feel AWZ right now!

Gzsz became quiet boring after the anniversary. It still has his moments.

Im still wondering about Gina and Paul‘s new apartment. It looks like the old Richter and later Gerner Apartment just modernized.

For Pride Month, GZSZ uploaded some highlights of their few LGBTQ+ storylines.

Last Week on GZSZ: Big Confessions

New Outtakes

It’s a shame they didn’t included Philip and Fabian from the 90‘s. They were together for a long time for soap couple standards. 

and where are Jasmin and Paula from the mid 00‘s? They were amazing 

[Huntress]

They probably didn't have enough time to edit new videos for these couples

 All other videos were basically recycled older uploads.
Btw, I also loved GZSZ's first LGBT couple Saskia and Harumi back in 1996. They were only together for like 3 months, but they had such good chemistry.

On UU, there's been quite an unusual cast switchover this summer.

• Constantin Lücke, who took over the role of Till Weigel in September 2020 after Ben Ruedinger had played the part for 20 years, left the show earlier this month.
• Also gone are Till's girlfriend Mareike Ott (played by Mirja du Mont) and his son Conor (played by Yannik Meyer). Meyer was the first adult actor in the role and joined the cast in 2018.
• Claudelle Deckert, who's played Till's on and off wife Eva Wagner since 2001, is taking an extended break. This week, Eva moves to Bruxelles with her latest lover Dominic (played by Jo Weil). Weil, whose character came out as transgender, is also departing the show.
• Luca Maric, who's played Robert Küpper since January 2015, is rumoured to be leaving soon with his character being killed off. Until her shocking death three years ago, Robert was married to Weigel matriarch Irene.
• Recurring character Theo Wolters is rumoured to be recast. Akeem van Flodrop has portrayed the friendly baker since 2020.
• Last month, the show re-introduced the character of Marie Lassner, Rolf Jäger's daughter with Pia Lassner, who was born in 2009. Shortly after giving birth, Pia fled town with her newborn. Now a teenager, Marie arrived in town to learn more about her past and her crazy family. Marie has three half-siblings: Tobias Lassner, David Junker, and Fiona Jäger. The latter was killed off earlier this year in a "shocking" twist. Marie is played by Maira Kellers in a recurring capacity.
• Last but not least, 64-year old actress Iris Werlin joins the cast as Corinna's aunt Lulu Schwarz who is supposed to stir up the lives of Corinna and her husband Chris Weigel. Ironically, Schwarz (which means Black) was also the maiden name of Chris's late mother Irene, and in the early years, the show featured Irene's brother and niece who also had Schwarz as their last name. I guess the producers aren't very creative when it comes to choosing family names.

I always wondered why they never brought back Antonia Schwarz (Irenes niece and Till’s cousine).. She was heavily featured between 1994-1997. 

And Olaf Schwarz never got mentioned much after his departure in episode 201. (The actor itself became a long featured actor on the teen soap “Schloss Einstein” a couple of years later)
 

Corinna has a gay brother. They should bring him in. 
 

[AMCOLTLLover]

AWZ got me a bit hooked again. Henning/Daniela Are cute as hell. 
Chiara getting a rival with Leyla and her new friendship to Jill and the pressure from Simone is getting to her. Chiara is my favorite character on that show and I hate Leyla. 
 

Malu/Justus Custody Battle is hilariously bad written and acted but I’m into it somehow and want Malu to win. I have never been a fan of Malu but her storys are quiet good from the drama perspective. Between two brothers and now a custody battle. Only thing that bothers me is that she wrecked Natalie and Maximilians reunion. They finally made up and a lie from Malu ruined it again.

i can’t wait for the 4000th Episode coming up!

awz always gives me some Hollyoaks kinda vibes if I am being honest
