"Forbidden Love" video clip update: A minute with Christian

... Which is literally all we got on Monday's episode, as Christian dropped by Judith's construction site to share some relationship advice with her regarding her love triangle. It's not much, but with Christian doing his best Cary Elwes look, it's worth it ... and it's of course a nice turnaround to see the gay guy giving relationship advice to the straight characters.

This being a soap, this idyll of course won't last, and Christian and Olli didn't always have it easy - if you want to know more about the soap's gay history, be sure to check out our brand-spankin'-new article about Verbotene Liebe over on the main page.

Check out the clip after the break! Thanks, as ever, to Gays of Daytime and Nanna for the clip and subtitles.

    Quiet Moments

    I do so love how, even when Olli and Christian aren't together onscreen, and the plot/story-arc doesn't focus on their relationship, the writers still take the time to give us a few subtle nods to remind us of how much in love the boys are.

    Like how Christian gives Judith advice by reminding her that Olli waited for him to come around and realize his feelings; and snaps her out of that funk/daydream/zoning-out by dangling the keychain Olli gave him (as a good-luck charm) in front of her face.

    And when they ARE together onscreen, and the story still isn't theirs, they share loving (occassionally smoldering!) looks, friendly physical contact and comfortable silences (I think THAT familiarity is what I'd like to see most from Nuke on ATWT).

    It's the kind of thing that REAL couples do.

    So, even when there isn't a sexy or romantic clip of them, we never forget that they are in love...

    The usual thing about soaps is,

    Step 1.) Couples comes together (always problems included) => big coverage

    Step 2.) Couple being happy together => little coverage

    Step 3.) Couple having some problems, but still (happy) together => more coverage

    Step 4.) Couple having big problems/break-up => big coverage

    Ollian are at step 2.) at the moment, when Christian's outing comes up they'll get to step 3.)

    I hope step 4.) is never gonna happen!!!!^^

    Yes, I loved that little

    Yes, I loved that little touch of having Christian with the lucky charm that Olli gave him on his keychain.  And that was so lovely hearing the little advice he gave to Judith to just give herself time like Olli gave him. It's obvious that Christian lives and breathes Olli and i'm sure it's the same with how Olli feels about Christian.

    Fab...Olli and Chrisitan are going to be that super rare couple that WILL survive those 4 steps to seperations which you lay out so well and unfortunately so true.

    survival doesn't exists in soaps

    I am with all of you, I adore the Ollian team but I would be hardpressed to believe that their story is going to avoid the inevitable break up that all to often happens with couples on these soap operas. I think that we should just appreciate the story for what it is now but expect the worst outcome possible. After all this show is called Forbidden Love a show that obviously focuses on the trials and tribulations of romance than rather on its successes.

    i used to think that way....

    from day one i wrote that i am waiting for the other shoe to drop.... now am just enjoying the ride and have this hope in my heart that if they if they do fade away - they would still be walking in the beach holding hands amidst the backdrop of a beautiful sunset.... if their story do end.. they would still be together... it is a soap afterall... and it has happened before... so that's how i would picture them... regardless what happens....  ollian foreverollian forever
