"Forbidden Love" video clip update: Friends in high places
Today's Forbidden Love picks up with Crazy Eyes Axel gloating about the fact that the charges against him have been dropped, which sends Christian into a very hot rage (and I love that Olli has to literally hold him back). Axel tries to order a drink, and is dumbfounded when Gregor orders him to leave (and he also calls Constantin a "little sausage", which is such a bizarre insult to throw, I actually giggled a little). Before he slimes his way out, he does take a moment to hit on Countess Carla, who looks appropriately skeeved out. "trolling the mens restrooms at the Republican National Convention"
Lars explains that there wasn't enough evidence to put Axel on trial, but Constantin is adamant that there must be something he and Carla can do, at least about getting an article published. Carla has a definite look of "it'll take all of my lesbionic abilities, but leave it to me!" Back at home, Olli and Christian are having their usual "you can't quit boxing!" conversation ... in the bathtub? Um, was there a tornado warning? Are they having plastic slipcovers put on the couch? Did Judith let one rip in the living room? In any event, they both agree that they have to be positive that everything will work out (and thank heavens Olli finally ripped that band-aid off. He was starting to get into creepy Les Nessman territory). The rest we'll leave to you, but suffice it to say, never underestimate a power lesbian! Once again, the strength of this episode is in the natural relationship of Olli and Christian, and the sense of community that exists in their circle of friends. These are all people who love and care for each deeply, and will automatically "circle the wagons" when there's an outside threat. You can see today's clip after the break, and thanks to Nanna and The Gays of Daytime for the translation. Submitted by on Wed, 2008-08-27 15:21. |

Hmmm...
maybe all the other sets were busy? Although they do tend to hang out in the bathroom a lot. In fact, Vl is one of the few show I can think of that actually has a bathroom set, let alone one we see so often.
By the way, did any else notice that Olli doesn't actually have anything under that Band-Aid? No bruise, not stitches, no cut, nada... I love this show, but clearly they don't have much when it comes to a special effects or make-up department.

There's a visible cut if you watch the HQ file. Small though, but it's there.
I don't really care why they're in the bathtub, they look really cute together like that :D
I'm guessing...
I'm guessing that Christian and Olli are in the bathtub because their female roomates, either Prim Judith or Crazy Lydia, couldn't take anymore of the boys putting their shoes on the furniture and forced them from the living room under threat of dire punishment. Thus banished to the loo they are stuck sitting in the bathtub.
Constatin
It's not the first time they've communed in the "tub o luv"
And that band aid seems to be a running gag with V/L makeup department. Olli's not the first to wear it.

They are in the bathroom so that Christian can change Oliver's bandaid. Thankfully, Axel barely laid a glove on our boy. As to the publishing storyline, I can't believe they had such a hard time getting their story told in Germany. Maybe they should have gone straight to AfterElton. Thank god for royalty, in all its forms.
The bathroom scene was
The bathroom scene was really cute! It's a pity they had their clothes on. ;)
Countess Carla is frickin' fierce! It's so cool that their story can finally get published. Axel needs to go to jail ASAP, ugh. Also, WTF @ Axel calling Constantine a ''little sausage''.
I thought this was another great episode. I hope we get to see more of Constantin hanging with our boys. That boy is FIIINEEE AS HELL! :)
mirrors..
Lydia and the mirror
Ever since Lydia found out her boyfriend cheated on her she has been trying to be rather stoic about it. This time it all broke out, she smashed the mirror and screamed she hated herself. Judith walked in on her and Lydia picked up a piece of the mirror. When Judith went to get bandages Lydia locked herself in and Judith freaked because she worried that Lydia might hurt herself. So she and Rebecca started banging on the floor (that was kinda funny because it was really obvious that they don't have a set for the hallway/for the outside of the bathroom door), they even began readying the tool box and Rebecca tried to kick the door in ;D
Just as they wondered whether they should call the police Lydia came out, took all her clothes and started stuffing them in the garbage slot. Then her dad came and Lydia broke down and had her first real cry since the whole story with Sebastian came out.
All this took place while Ollian were downstairs talking to Carla.
Clips of it can be seen here:

Little sausage
Axel actually called Constantin a "Würstchen" which is a fairly common insult in Germany. I translated it to "wimp"because that's what it pretty much means. But when I explained to Tihkon what the word-by-word translation was, he liked it so much that he asked me to use "little sausage". I'm amazed that so far no one has made the obvious jokes about it. You guys have a lot of self-restraint :-)
As to the mirror, yes, that was Lydia. She had a major (even by her standards) melt-down and she broke it in a fit of self-loathing.
Axel is a weenie, but...

"The mountain has wings."
Würstchen implies someone of no significance. Constantin is not worthy of Axel's notice. One tranlslation I have found is squirt. Make of that what you will!Hi Nanna
Thanks for all your hard work, time, and effort on VL, each and every week. We need more allies to the community like you!!! (And thanks to your accomplisses as well!)

Oh and Lydia's a nut-job. Bye!
AS FOR POOR LYDIA - Whatever Happened to Hell Hath No Fury...
I'm not exactlysure how i'd react to finding out that the love of my life (Sebastian) had impregnated my mother (and my bestfriend/ roommate and girlfriend of my brother knew about it all along)
but I'm pretty sure Sebastiardo would be looking a lot more worse for wear than Olli was 5 minutes after Axel showed his bullified arse!
I adore Judith and did not like her dating Fabian (good riddens) but it was unfair for the mother to ask her to keep such a secret and it was unwise for her to keep it (especially from Lydia). STILL LOVE JUDITH! We all make mistakes.
At any rate, from where I'm standing Lydia has shown tremendous restraint and sanity.
Not enough toaster strudel in the world for the arse-kicking Sebastian deserves!
Sadly it seems that a lot
Sadly it seems that a lot of the women of VL are huge pushovers. Even Judith who got to do a great dressing down of Fabian was bawling like a baby again when he left for Australia and tried to rush after him. Nathalie is taking back Ansgar who hit her, belittled her and cheated on her. I'm sure Lydia will take Sebastian back eventuelly even if she'll keep being sad and pushing him away for another year or so.
To be fair though, some of the men are no better, since it seems like Lydia's father is also thinking about taking her mom back.
Really makes you appreciate Carla who divorced her wife Susanne and refused to take her back after Susanne had chaeted on her with a guy even though Susanne was pleading with her (even though that technically was for plot related reasons).
Thanks to Nanna and a question.
Can someone please explain why Axel was not charged due to no witness to the assault when Olli can identify him as his assailant? I don't really get it. Is this something different about German law than American law?
Maybe I have just seen too many Law and Orders, but on these if the victim can positively identify their attacker, it's a slam dunk.
Is this just one of those la-la-la plot holes to make the action move forward?
I'm no expert, but it could
No physical evidence?
It sucks but it kind of make sense.
Axel used a knight stick so he didn't hurt his hands or leave any sources of his DNA on Olli that could be traced.
But here's what's weird, Axel has threatened Ollie multiple times in No Limits, in front of lots of people. I can think of at least three times before the fight and twice after the fight.
Seems like that should hold some sway if they could get someone unrelated to the case to testify.
it will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
HOORAY FOR THE POWER COUNTESS DYKE IN THE FABULOUS OUTFIT SAVING THE DAY. LALALA
No evidence...case dropped?!
Since there was no evidence of fibers, skin, fingerprints or saliva from when Axel spit the beer out...surely there is evidence from individuals at the crowded NoLimits of which Axel paid a visit twice, and then shouted at least two further threats to Ollian.
Anyway, another terrific episode. Olli and Christian were so happy at the end. And i'm just loving Carla. If all else fails...just buy the publishing company. Gosh...how sweet it is to have that kind of old money.
