"Forbidden Love" video clip update: Reunited, and it feels so good!

After over two months, soapdom's supercouple (sorry, Luke and Noah) is back together, and Olli and Christian have to make up for lost time. How long can they endure their friends' welcome home party before they excuse themselves?

Behold the translated clip (bless you, Nanna), take our poll, and discuss!

Was it good for you? I'm so glad to have Olli back, and while this clip doesn't give them too much to do together, hopefully that'll change once Olli's jet lag wears off. Some observations:

1. Was anyone else turned on by the piggyback ride?

2. We should start a drinking game. From now on, every time Olivia says "as a model", you have to down a shot. I figure we'll all be sloshed about halfway through each clip.

3. I almost choked on my Yoo-Hoo when Judith told Olli, "your boyfriend drove the whole apartment crazy for weeks on end with his bad mood". Yes, as opposed to you, Stable Mable.

4. Did anyone else get a creepy Lady Drumstick/Wheatables vibe from the Aunt Charlie/Sascha pairing?

5. Admit it, when you saw the pic I chose, you thought the same thing I did ... "Ollian getting lei'd".

Okay, this return didn't give us everything we wanted. We didn't see the guys spend any time alone together, and too much of it was spent on Charlie's inexplicable rejection of the hot electrician. But I'm willing to give TPTB (and the new writers) a chance, and I'm hoping they'll come through for this groundbreaking couple.

What did you think? Take our poll and let us know!

    Meh

    1. Was anyone else turned on by the piggyback ride?

    *-Actually, no. It didnt look natural, it seemed too forced, maybe it's just me.

    2. We should start a drinking game. From now on, every time Olivia says "as a model", you have to down a shot. I figure we'll all be sloshed about halfway through each clip.

    *- I dont feel like throwing up on this laptop of mine >.>

     

    4. Did anyone else get a creepy Lady Drumstick/Wheatables vibe from the Aunt Charlie/Sascha pairing?

    *- Yeah, it creeped my out, Sascha looks like 20 years older than Charlie, this brought back some Luke-Brian incident memorie for some reason.

     

    The episode was numb over all, the parts of them kissing were really good though, but for Olli's come back they should have put more emphasis into it.

    PS: Didnt that dance of Olli moving his arms like that on 3:00 look so gay? XD

    It looked weird that Olli

    It looked weird that Olli jumped on Christian's back only after they had already come the door. Rather than him being on already when they talked in (implying that Christian had been carrying for a longer period of time). He just jumped on and then jumped off again immediately.

    Piggy Backing and the Renunion

    Much like the "Christian sits on Olli on the couch" scene,

    I think it all depends upon what we were supposed to see and what we  think we saw.

    Here's what I saw, it was a surprise act by Olli which surprised Christian before Olli got surprised by the party

    Christian is walking into No Limits knowing there is a surprise party waiting and expecting that Olli is right directly behind him.

    Olli doesn't know there is a surprise party and has decided to wait a second then run and jump on Christians back as a surprise (he thinks they are alone)

    Christian is surprised that Olli jumps on his back because he wasn't expecting it and was focused on the folks getting ready to scream surprise in front of him which is why he almost drops Olli.

    Olli immiediate jumps off Christian's back because he realizes after a second that they aren't alone in No Limits and there's a surprise party for him. 

    I loved the episode. Christian and Olli live together and right upstairs from the party, I don't think they needed to rush away and it was lovely that all of Olli's friends and family wanted to welcome him home.

    People forget (or don't take into account) that Olii had almost died right before going to Ibiza. He was just mended  from surgery and I think Charlie and Olivia and Christian are still just so happy to see him alive and happy.

    The change of scenery seems to have been a good thing for him and I think Christian and Ollian couldn't look more in love and adoring of one another.

    Improvisation?

    Judging by Thore's expression when Jo jumps on him, I honestly thought the whole thing was improvised. I figured that's why it was so random and stilted and they just included it for the hell of it.

    Olli riding Christian...

    ...was impossibly adorable but altogether too brief.  Plus it sucks that their initial reunion was offscreen.  But they were at least very romantic.

    And yes, I found Judith's remark hysterical given all her romantic dramas, tantrums and sulking.

    Nanna is a goddess for turning this translation around so quickly!

    Wilkommen!

    Snicks, I am surprised you didn't make mention of Christian's "Dancing Queen" routine in the background at 2:40?

    For once, it was good to see Judith acting like a normal person, despite her successful attempt at irony. :)

    I was surprised that among the extras on the set, it didn't look like Olli & Chris have any adult friends.  Is NoLimits down the street from a high school?

    As far as the great piggyback debate goes, it's obvious that Thore & Jo are too tall to do that walking through the doorway.  Why they included it at all is a mystery, but it was fun.

    Welcome Back, Olli!

    Sure we didn't get a very Ollian Christmas or New Year or an airport reunion scene, but I am still very happy with yesterday's episode. 

    I thought the piggyback ride was great, as was Christian's inability to take his eyes off of Olli when Olli was dancing with another group of people.  Ollian dancing together was terrific as well, though I'm not quite sure what those dance moves were.  (Christian's Dance of the Seven Veils behind the bar was pretty hilarious too!).  And when Christian and Olli kissed, it seemed as if to this couple, everyone else in NoLimits disappeared.  That is chemistry, man. 

    It was a great reunion for this couple when all is said and done. 

    Here's hoping that Ollian are back in the front burner where they belong!

    I Liked It...

    Although the piggy back riding was really unnatural, and incredibly short. The reunion and the integration with other character's was handled well. I only heard Olivia say 'as a model' once though .. maybe I just have bad hearing hah. Christian/Olli was as cute as ever :]

    Danke Nanna!

     

    Thank you sooooooooooo much, as always, for providing the translations :) My German skills are almost non-existant, and so as much fun as it to mere look at Ollian and only understand every third or fouth thing they say, your words make the whole experience all the more enjoyable :D

    How strange the sound

    improvised 2 ...

    i think jasmine got it right and the whole thing was improvised.  after watching christian and olli's clips over and over and over again (because they are so good!) those boys are always doing crazy things in the background of scenes.  they are so good.  love them.  So glad they are back together but a little scared of what the writers will be doing in the future.  

     and the actor playing Gregor .  I don't care that he needs a hair cut, he is the hottest guy on worldwide television!!!!  hot, hot, hot!  love him!

    I loved this reunion

    I loved this reunion episode so much, although it could have been a little longer, but there were several other storylines going on which had to be fitted into the 25 minute time slot. Unfortunately, it's not the Ollian show, there are other major storylines which take place.

    I really loved seeing them dancing together. I loved the hugs and them clinging to each other, not wanting to be apart for one minute. And when they kisseed, it was as though the world stood still for them. Olli and Christian share some of the most beautiful kisses on TV.

    As for the piggyback ride...it looked improvised to me. Which isn't uncommon for Ollian. Jo and Thore have noted they have improvised in the past during episodes.

    I'm so happy Olli is back and I look forward to what is in store for them in the future. I just hope the writers do them justice. Finger's crossed.

    I'm so happy that the other

    I'm so happy that the other half of my favorite soap couple is finally back! This episode was definitely very sweet and romantic. Loved the kisses and the dancing! I cant wait to see how the Ollian storyline proceeds.

    Btw, that Sascha guy is really hot. If Charlie doesn't want him, I'd take him any day. :D

    "4. Did anyone else get a creepy Lady Drumstick/Wheatables vibe from the Aunt Charlie/Saschapairing?"

     

    Totally!! But it seems to be over already!

    I'm glad Olli's back and I'm looking forward to what's in store for Ollian!

    Cute!

    Their reunion was cute. Now just please give them something to work with! A new storyline, but nothing crappy like they do on ATWT..

    I liked this episode very

    I liked this episode very much. From slow dancing, kissing, Christian

    looking after his man, the strawberry he gave Olli to the whispering in Olli's ear.

    Christian defenitely was very happy to have his man back in his arms.

    And the music playing during the scenes was amazing.

    Now lets hope after a week again off no scenes between the boys that their will be a nice story to come and a lot of scenes with both the guys!

    The great piggy-back debate

    I just wanted to chime in on the piggy-back issue. I agree that it did look improvised. Christian does a lot of picking up Ollie...remember the scene where he gave him a fireman lift and tossed him on the couch? Was pretty hot though-lol. The actors have awesome chemistry, and I like that the european atmosphere is more open to more affection and closeness. US TV seems so scared of showing too much still. They have to be the best kissers on TV anywhere! Love this show.
