"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.

That older man doesn't play around. Wow at that throat-grab. What was going on?

Arnfinn has been rather "away" the last days (his deceased brother would have turned 50 now these days). Storm wanted to buy a commercial property they can use as one of the Lycke hotels but since Storm did not have enough money to buy it alone, he signed himself into Arnfinn's online bank and transferred the remaining amount (10 million NOK) from Arnfinn's account to the seller of the property. Without talking to Arnfinn, of course. This wasn't Arnfinn particularly pleased with...

Thanks.

Nominated for best TV drama!

Hotel Cæsar is nominated in the "Best TV drama" category at Gullruten, the Norwegian TV awards, in May! The other three nominees are very strong drama series, so we'll need to see whether Hotel Cæsar wins or not - but it's extremely satisfying that the show is at least nominated! The show has since it started in 1998 won an Gullruten award only once; in 2001, the show won the "Best daily drama series/soap" category. The show was nominated to the same award as now in 2008 ("Best TV drama"), but didn't win. In addition, Anette Hoff (Juni Anker-Hansen; 1998–2005, 2006–2010, 2010–2013) won the award for "Best TV actor" in 1999. She was also nominated in the "Best female actor" category in 2008 but didn't win. Along with Sossen Krogh (Astrid Anker-Hansen; 1998–2010), she was awarded with the prize of honor in 2010. I cross my fingers that it "goes the right way" in May!

Thanks. What were those stories?

(was that Wild Wild West credits?)

That channel does a hell of a lot better job showing closing credits respectfully than the US does.

Was the photo just people on set that day?

The fried bleached hair on that woman at the front...

The fried bleached hair on that woman at the front...

Mie started as head chef at Cleo about a month ago, and just before she was hired, Albert slept with her... This naturally causes some problems at work. The hotel is also currently going through a renovation to meet a number of environmental requirements so that they can host a large environmental political conference, and Monica ended up helping the carpenters. That didn't go well, as you can see in the video... However, at the same time Monica met Fred, a farmer who delivers organic food to Cleo, and they quickly got a good eye for each other.

It was the closing credits of Bonanza. The channel broadcasts reruns of that show prior to the reruns of Hotel Cæsar on Saturdays.

All the people on the photo is characters included in the opening sequence except Hilde Erichsen (Hanne Dahle). She is kind of a "guest character". She works in the kitchen, along with, among others, Mie. I guess they maybe only included the characters that were in production that day in picture, because there are several more actors working at the show than these nine. Maybe they wanted to "hide" them to avoid leaking spoilers.
