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, his role 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 give Jonas a major arc with his sudden paralysis.

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

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.

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)

  • Ulrike FRANK as Katrin Flemming (April 2004-present; recurring previously)
  • Patrick HEINRICH as Erik Fritsche (May 2019-present; recurring previously)

Currently on maternitly 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.

Yes, Deniz is still on AWZ. He's been working as a figure skating coach for the Steinkamps for quite some time, and at some point he got married to Imani, but I'm not sure if they are still together
