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! wink.png

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? smile.png

New promos - for the season finale!

Hotel Cæsar is currently on Christmas break, and will return at 6th January 2014. The show has released a 2 min. preview of the spring season; I'll sub it some time soon and then post it here. I think the spring season is going to be rather good!

Thought I'd share some photos from the production's Christmas party a few weeks ago:

From left: Nils Vogt (Arnfinn Lycke), unknown (new character), Anette Hoff (Juni Anker-Hansen), Torgeir Reiten (Edvin Holte), Hilde Erichsen (Hanne Dahle), Assad Siddique (Harshad Kapoor), Evy Kasseth Røsten (Mie Andersen), Kenneth Åkerland Berg (Albert Lunde), Kim-Daniel Sannes (Storm Liland Anker-Hansen), Anne Kokkinn (Birte «Bitten» Lillevik), Camilla Aanonli (Jenny Augusta Anker-Hansen), Rudy Claes (Eva Rosenkrantz), Kim Kolstad (Jens August Anker-Hansen), Nikis Theophilakis (Pelle Krogstad) and Svein Østvik (Bingo-Bjørn).

Nils Vogt (Arnfinn) and Anne Kokkinn (Bitten). Things will "heat up" between Arnfinn and Bitten in the new season...

Kenneth Åkerland Berg (Albert) and Evy Kasseth Røsten (Mie). For how long will they stay on the show? Some things indicate that both leaves the show, while others indicate that both stays on the show. It's actually hard to tell if they both will stay on the show, if one will leave the show while the other one stays on the show or if they both will leave the show.

Show runner Arne Berggren and Nikis Theophilakis (Pelle).

Svein «Charter-Svein» Østvik, famous from the Norwegian "docu-soap" Charterfeber, will join the show as "Bingo-Bjørn" in April. I don't know if I should be happy or terrified of it...

bef817d6b6010a01b01447bde27af24a.jpg?t%5

Rudy Claes (Eva), Camilla Aanonli (Jenny) and Anette Hoff (Juni). Both the Rosenkrantz and the Anker-Hansen family is represented here, and they'll apparently both have it pretty rough the next season. As the show runner Berggren puts it: "It will be an intense period for the Anker-Hansen [and Rosenkrantz] family - now they're threatened from the inside."

Kim-Daniel Sannes (Storm) - will he survive the shooting? Of course he does - we've known that for over a month already... But he'll still be much away from the show in 2014, due to his participation in Skal vi danse, the Norwegian version of Strictly Come Dancing/Dancing with the Stars, where he ended in 2nd place.

4dec1d1e8df6decad2f26a3084740b42.jpg?t%5

Kim Kolstad (Jens August) and Torgeir Reiten (Edvin) - it is with these two characters most of the drama will unfold in 2014! Edvin is the "threat from the inside" as Berggren talked about. This is going to be exciting!

Oh, I see I haven't made an update here in ages - I'll try to make an update soon, but I might not have time to do that until after my exams in December, since it's quit a lot that has happened on the show since January. But what I'll tell you right now is that TV 2, the channel broadcasting Hotel Cæsar, two weeks ago announced a pause in the filming of Hotel Cæsar from next February - due to the "long gap between filming and airing of episodes". It's actually true, they're almost a year in advance now and I agree that's a bit too much. But the scarry thing about this is that the ratings have dropped slightly over the past years, and we all know what a pause in the filming may lead to in the end - see what happened to British Heartbeat and The Royal.

In addition, the production company's contract with TV 2 ends in early 2016, but TV 2 have the option of stopping the production prior to this, making the production stop six months after they decision (which I suppose they've used in this case). They keep saying that we're not to worry, even though TV 2 also states that "there is no automatic in what's on TV 2 from year to year". They also states that they had a pause in the filming eary in the 2000s, which is true, and the show did start filming again six months or so later back then - but some rumours will have it that TV 2 originally had planned to cut the show back then, but since the ratings improved they decided to continue airing the show. However, this has never been confirmed by TV 2, but it seems rather likely. In addition to TV 2's original statement, a national newspaper today has published an article with "rumours" in the industry, stating that TV 2 has decided to make next year the last year of Hotel Cæsar. Again, TV 2 has not confirmed this information, but they're not likely to do so until at least some time next spring, when they'll decide what shows to order for 2016. And I guess they won't release they decision too early, to avoid people not starting to watch the show when they know "the end is near".

Of course, me and the rest of the fans realize that everything must come to an end some time, but we don't like TV 2 making this decision now or at latest next spring; the show got a new (script) producer, Marie Hafting, back in January (or, she started for real now in August, after the production's summer break, I guess she had some time working along with the old script producer in the Spring), and her episodes will start airing shortly after Easter next year. Hence, TV 2 is likely to make the decision to "pull the plug" or not before the new producer's episodes has even started to air on TV, and both me and the rest of the hardcore fans believes that her new line for the show is likely to attract more people to the show and increase the ratings. We therefore asks TV 2 to not pull the plug for Hotel Cæsar already early next year, and at least wait until later next year - and hopefully renew the contract for some more years.

I therefore hope that as many as possible of you guys here on the forum can "like" this Facebook page, stating that we don't want TV 2 to end Hotel Cæsar in 2016: https://www.facebook.com/Neitilnedleggelseavhc Thanks!

Do you have a tumblr? Are there any fans of the show on there? They might be able to help spread the word.

There's also the Gays of Daytime site. A few people are still there, although the thread is dead. If you want me to post your message there I will, if I can remember my old account and password.

    • @Toups Tyler Topits listed in alpha order with the breakdown writers 5/12 Monday episode. O'Connor still listed as both breakdown and script writer. Kreizman wrote today's script.
    • Marland was long gone by this point.  He quit in either August/September 1982. I think it was due to letting the actress play out her contract and use her for party scenes and/or scenes with Phillip/Justin.   I was surprised she was still on in June 1983 myself, because I figured she had been written out before Pam Long joined the writing staff. Thankfully, having episodes uploaded during this period on Spauldingfield YT site has helped to connect some of the dots.  It looks as though Pam Long starts the first week or so of May 1983.. and in those first few weeks: Morgan and Evie were both written off and Lillian/Mindy/Billy/Beth/Annabelle all come onto the show.

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
