"Forbidden Love" video clip update: False alarms

...by an attention-paying TGoDT reader that the giant can holds both the pasta AND the pesto - probably the reason Olli and Judith just kinda shovel it around on their plates and Ollian is trying to get rid of it.

And the way Christian eats pasta should have Olli take notice that no romantic dinner is ever to take place at an Italian place.

Nothing exciting here, but those little gestures between Olli and Christian definitely made it worthwhile!

The Gays Of Daytime

Bloodthirst or really any kind of desire for resolution will likely have to wait a bit longer. I just checked the official website and VL will get preempted a lot because of the Olympics. They were preempted today (Friday), will be preempted Monday, Wednesday and likely Friday again next week and who knows what will happen in the week after that :( So even if the next Ollian episode airs two weeks from now, in VL time there will only be about 2 episodes between it. Grrrr.

 

Alas, at least my edits from a storyline of VL's sister soap that aired last year finally arrived, so I will have something to pass that time. I have to say though, while it isn't necessarily a great romantic love story like Ollian or even Nuke, even Ollian could take some cues about love scenes from Mischa and Sülo (though the old the soap opera truth about how you get the most and the hottest love scenes when somebody is watching them holds again true. And even they have to possess a well practiced look of sexual frustration as their lover keeps being called away by important soap opera business in the middle of the act): 

yeah, I have to say, the whole subtle half-off-the-camera pasta-shifting thing is the type of great detail that makes this show a lot of fun, and makes Olli and Christian really work as a couple.

That's right! I wonder if I understand that well. Christian's pasta is bad cooked and Olli put some of his to Christian's plate or Christian cooked too little, it is not enough for Olli as Christian gave too much to Judith? It was fast and subtle but very sweet. I have to say their acting is wonderful.

So, to recap, Christian served his hag and his boyfriend the basil and olive oil equivalent of Chef Boyardee, which they found marginally edible at best.  Olli reconsidered his living arrangements in the face of pasta-in-a-can but Christian nipped it in the bud.  Olli retaliated by forcing Christian to eat the rest of the pre-prepared pasta of pain.

And yes, Thore and Jo have all the little couple mannerisms down to a science now.  Christian and Olli come across as amazingly convincing.
