Verbotene Liebe is one of all time favorites. I‘m biased. I even went to Fan Meetings and my Family won a Trip to the Beach with Marienhof and verbotene Liebe to Play Volleyball against them lol
I would say 1995 to 1996/97 are Peak. The Jan and Julia era. After that the Show still was good between 1997/98 but was a Bit struggling. 1998/99 the Show found it’s Groove again and kept being Strong until Like 2001/02. 2001-2002 had a Lot of good Storylines but there was a Bit of a dull era until a Major story ended and a new Family came along. I would say 2003-2004 saw a lot of changes and started to be on Fire again until Like 2007-2009. Lile every soap it had it’s up and downs but the Show was consistent. But i don’t know what happened between 2008/09 but just Like Marienhof it felt Off. But 2010-2012 were a good era again.
I‘m a die hard Fan BUT the final 4-5 Years were Rough. Ansgar von Lahnstein and Tanja von Lahnstein (THE Ultimate GOATS) carried them last few years. Ratings were going down and i started blaming the writers and even the Network. But what really hurt the Show was going from 20 to 45 minutes. U could Tell the writers had no clue how to fill that extra time. But I will give it to ARD they actually really tried saving Verbotene Liebe until 2014. I mean they tried turning it into their current airing Daily Novelas Like Sturm der Liebe but that Concept failed. ARD even Let The Show Film for half a year in Spain on Mallorca. Concept failed. They tried so many things and some were good and some were really bad. A lot of damn cast changes. U had your core characters but Most characters were just staying for 1 to 3 Years besides a few. And the attempt to turn into a weekly was disgusting because of the storyline that didn’t Even made Sense.
The RTL Reboot in 2020 was great and deserved a second Season tbh.
I would say the First 3-4 months Are a Mixed bag but carried by a major Storyarc that Starts with Episode 3. I would say the show always had strong writting and the best acting out of early years from the German soaps tbh. Of course some are corny and felt Like Not good actors but it was charming. But stick with it. It gets good especially Around Episode 109!
Oh and Major Spoiler : the von Sternecks will be replaced and recasted with better actors lol Even though the first Gero wasn’t that Bad and he’s still Fall famous as an Voice actor and the First Barbara was alright but the second brought the missing piece to it
