Forbidden Love clip update: What a tangled web we weave...

I need everyone to keep a secret for me, okay? It's a national holiday here in the U.S. and I'm not supposed to be working, but I was watching this week's Forbidden Love clips when the latest turned up. Well, I watched it and figured I might as well post it, especially for anyone in the States who does have to work today or fans elsewhere who want to know what happens next for our boys. Just don't tell Brian or Brent that I posted on my day off!

Anyway, in today's installment, Axel keeps muddling around and is apparently so concerned that Christian not be cuckolded that he's taken to following Judith and Fabian around Dusseldorf. Either that or we're starting to see some soap opera elements creep into the story and Axel just happens to be in the park the same time as Fabith. Either way, it's a bit clunky in an Oakdale sort of way.

Strolling around the park, Fabith continues their tiresome discussion about her being Christian's beard, how hard it is on Fabian, wah wah wah. Someone posted in the comments that the beard storyline was getting old and I wholeheartedly agree. Definitely time to move on and fortunately the sotry does just that thanks to Axel getting a wee bit more assertive.

Hmm, just what kind of go is Axel really interested in? And with whom

Yes. Yes, it is. I'll be glad once we move past the beard storyline and Christian's coming out to the world. Forbidden Love has handled it relatively well, but I'm really interested in seeing a storyline that is about them as couple without the "gay" stuff being central to the plot. I know it's a soap and there need be conflict, but I think the writers of VL can give us something a bit more original than this.

Finally, I'm leaving you with a picture of Olli gazing adoringly upon Christian just because Olli looks so darn adorable!

You can see today's clip after the break, and as always, thanks to Nanna and The Gays of Daytime for the translations.
