"Hotel Cæsar" is a Norwegian soap series, and has lasted from 1998 and is still running. It's shown on Norwegian TV 2 Monday to Thursday 19.30. The show is about a hotel (obviously...), and both about the family that owns the hotel (Anker-Hansen) and the employees at the hotel. Read more about it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_C%C3%A6sar

I watched some of Hotel Caesar on Youtube and it seems like kind of a strange show - I was shocked to see in the middle of fairly mundane stories, the beginnings of a threeway, and a (clothed) sex scene which seemed to involve thrusting and orgasm. All with this Jens August, who looked pretty hot.

There's also this...bizarre and strangely hilarious scene.

Well, there you have Charlotte Not the best actress in the show, in my opinion. But, I haven't seen this period of the show, so I don't know what's on in that clip.

I wounder, did you see old clips or clips from the recent years? The show changed a lot in the period 2005-2007. From 1998 to 2005 the show was ok, 2006 was a lot of sex and violence (to attract younger viewers), 2007 was, in my opnion, the worst year in the show's history, 2008 some better, 2009 some better than 2008 and the same with 2010. So, let's hope 2011 will be even better!

And, Jens August, yes. Well, right now they're running a story on him being allowed, from his wife, to cheat on her - if he just tells her who it is.

Thanks. Who was Jens August forcing to sign papers? (I thought the guy was kind of cute)

Who was chloroformed?

At first I thought that woman at the end shoved ground glass in the man's face and I did a double take.

Jens August forced Storm (Liland Anker-Hansen) to sign the papers, but that's especially edited for the promo - because it was Arnfinn he forced to sign in the actual episode. And before he was forced into doing that, Arnfinn was chloroformed and kidnapped - commissioned by Jens August.

New promos!

Sadly, but not surprisingly, the show didn't win the "Best TV drama" category at Gullruten, the Norwegian TV awards, in May. However, Hotel Cæsar is nominated in the best "Soap Operas and Telenovelas" category at Banff Rockie Awards at the Canadian Banff World Media Festival, apparently starting next Sunday. Sources:

New promos - this time for the Season Finale!! The promos just looks amazing; I'm really, really excited about this!

Plus: Some clips from the filming of the season finale! (Unfortunately, they're not subtitled, but I guess you still get something out of it?). It does look rather good, doesn't it?

Thanks. Looks like a good cliffhanger. I wonder who will die.

What show did win the award?

Me too! Although I suspect Måne might die... It's just a "feeling" I have, but I've talked with other fans who say the same.

The show that won the award were, not surprisingly, "Halvbroren" ("The Half Brother"):

It wasn't a surprise because the show was loved by both the critics and the audience. I can't say if the show really was any good, because I didn't watch it (the promo looks pretty good, though). I just didn't find the story very interesting (a man searching for his half brother for eight episodes (each 45 min.)? Come on!). I just couldn't see what others saw in the show, and I still can't - simply because I can't find the story interesting enough... But it was an honour for the show to be nominated!

The show were nominated for the episode of Runa dying from leukemia:

And the season finale turned out to be a very good cliffhanger - and the premiere of the next season (on TV in August, but available online already Thursday this week, so I've seen it) is even better! Looking very much forward to see more of the new season

OK, that actually looks interesting. I was a bit disappointed they didn't show the explosion, but it was quite suspenseful. Will they show the explosion in the season return?

Immediately, I was a little disappointed too that they didn't show the explosion in the season finale, but I guess they wanted to end the season finale with the scenes with Eva Rosenkrantz and Mai Nguyen Voldhaug. And yes, they'll show the explosion in the season return.

Hotel Cæsar returned last Monday, and here is the promo that was aired prior to the season premiere:

A little delayed, but here are two promos for week 33 of Hotel Cæsar:

Thanks.

How long had Juni been gone?

Jens has very dark hair now.

Juni had been gone since last February, but then she had only been back for about two months after another two-month break, so she has been away a lot this past year. At least I feel that way, since Juni is my favourite character on the show. She has been on the show since its inception in 1998, but with a few breaks here and there, so it's good to have her back. And now she is a quite different character than before - she is more "evil" than ever before. She is not the "good old grandmother" you perhaps would expect having seen her development in recent years. She knows what she wants, and she will get it no matter what - and I love it!

Yep, Jens August has pretty dark hair these days. Much like back in 2009 when he was a part of the team of the "Anker-Hansen arch enemy", Cathrine Hove, and her competing hotel chain Black Diamond.


You see? Black Diamond = black hair. Of course!

I don't know why he has so black hair again now. It may be because he now is back being a person twisting everyone around his little finger without them realizing that it happens, after being a bit low for a period after he caused the Anker-Hansen company's bankruptcy before Christmas.

How much do you know about Hotel Cæsar, DRW50?
