We were expecting people to say, oh we don't like it...
we don't want to see it, but that almost never happens
on the contrary, we often get comments from people that say
usually I don't like to see men touching and kissing
or I am a bit homophobic....
but when I see you its okay...because I like... -it's different
Better, I said different
Its nice to see that... I think all of us by doing these story lines,
we can do something, and we can show people that...
gay story lines aren't as bad as many people think or that gay characters can be just normal guys as well
because many people still have these cliche's on their minds
and we try and show that its not that bad that gay characters are completely normal.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Its suppose to make no difference,
dont care if its a boy and boy, or two girls
its just two...two -two human beings
Human beings ....that love each other
and it doesnt matter.
Have you ever danced with a man before?
I mean I should probably ask you......
Its actually...who is leading?
Do you want to use the microphone?
That is harder than kissing!... dancing with a man...
you really get problems with your feet..... that is really hard.
We know how to deal with problems...perfectly
every kind of problem .... its kind of coaching
but if you think about that you wont be able to play it
because its a show and it always....
sometimes its faster than real life, sometimes its longer than real life.....
We know that problem...
Well sometimes you can have a partner that you are working with...
as an actor professionally, and this has nothing to do with gay or straight,
or even relationship story lines...
where there is a respect level you have with them and a comfort you develop with them
because you know what they are capable of you know their response times...
You know they are emotionally available in scenes..
and you are use to working with that... you build a trust,
even if someone isnt,
sometimes over time you can you can go, ok with you I am good
we worked out a short hand, we know how to work together
and then you work with somebody else....
and you don't have that.... - yea
but sometimes its good to change the partners as well because...
-you don't have to tell me that!
it can be real life again!
I think...sometimes if you are playing in a show like Forbidden Love,
or in a another soap opera role for one year or two years ...
to always have the same partner its kind of boring.....
because its always... no no no no....
What!!??... -but not, not with Jo!!..
....wait wait! -that's the end of the panel....
Isnt that your job to do something against that? if its boring?
And that is what I wanted to say next!...
You have to work on that , to always put fresh things into a story
-I agree
but sometimes its just something interesting to, or its interesting to change the partner.
Do you have any questions for triangle partnerships?
You can ask us now... we are the professionals....
You are the professional aren't you??
It would be really interesting if a triangle story could work in real life.. -Yea!
What are your thoughts on real life?
Yea, lets find that out!!
Any volunteers??...Yea! we can figure this out today!!
They are not working.... -yes, one gets a little jealous
I wouldn't want that....
Thinking about your characters...
who would you want to potentially spoil your relationship?
So who would you want to be with?
on the show? -Yea.
I personally or Olli?
Olli!
Then I think the only one Olli really wants to be with... is Christian
I think ...I would love to have a partnership with or one night with....
perhaps Tanja?? all the bad guys you know....
So we've got Tanya...and we've got Maria! .....or both of them!!!
At the same time!!!
I think Oliver Fish should be a guest star on Forbidden Love!
Talk about a triangle!!
We should fix that then, right now!
CROSSOVER!!!
You are the witnesses.. Oliver is coming to forbidden love!!
Oliver and Olli!!
It would be easy to keep...Olli and Olli
We never had that before.....
Olli and Olli...
Maybe Oliver changes his mind about Christian...
That's fan fiction for ya!
Have you guys ever read the fan fiction for your shows?
of course!!!
At Christmas time, we got about 20 books full of fan fiction...
WOW!
Christmas stories and all that stuff, and we try to read all of it...
we still read it....
Its cool to see that people work so much,
and that they relate so much to the story lines,
that they even start to write their own stuff...
and that's cool...
We had one really cool thing...
they made Oliver Romeo and Christian a hunter...
and they made Romeo from Romeo and Juliet meet this hunter...
back in time....and fell in love...
and that was kind of weird...but funny!!!
I love fan videos...
I mean these people are really talented editors
Better than the people that work on our show!
Fan fiction is good, but the freaking videos!! I mean...
I paid so much money for my...how is it called?
Show-reel, for someone to cut it...and on youtube,
I saw a video that was better than my show-reel...
you're like...the music is better... I think I'm acting better in it...
The most surprising thing is that, I think a lot of van videos...
love to slow its down......
drama, drama, drama... -its a good effect!
Do you love these characters?
Watch them move in ultra slow motion!!
Especially with kisses!
have you seen your kisses in slow motion? for minutes!!
one single kiss and it goes like.....
thats kind of embarrassing!!
Yea, I love to work with Thore, and yea, he is one of my favorites...
if not, "the" favorite or most favorite...
Until I come into the triangle!!
-HEY!!
we will see my friend!!!!
That is some fan fiction now!
Cant wait to see this one!!
She said, I want you to feel comfortable, and lets see how you move...
and where you touch each other...
and so she took quite time to talk about that...
...we were shooting it in one take.
Yea, it will be the...the... we wil do the Hot Rehearsal we called it...
When they already......
we will film in rehearsal, so they said, just do it, its a rehearsal, but we film it
and, take as long as you want to, we can shorten it if its too long...
and so we did it and it was done in one take...
wow!
Thats incredible boys....
its like this...
you shoot the scene, you're kissing and touching and all this stuff...
and they say...okay thank you!!!! Next scene is...
blah blah blah...lets go to the... living room or something like that...
and you stand there and youre like.. hmmm..okay... that's it!
You felt unfulfilled...
unsatisfied!!
Normally not my problem!!
Alright! so questions!
I have a question that is actually about triangles, and it's for Thore
You have been on the show for a while technically your first triangle
was with Nico, Coco and you and now...
your sort of in another triangle with Olli and Rob,
and you are in the other part of the triangle, the unwanted person part of the triangle...
instead of the wanted person...
And how is that different for you in playing those sides of the triangle?
I think the part now is more interesting but...
with Nico and Coco? Okay, It wasnt that fun because....
you have to play the silly guy you know, that doesn't understand....
the problems between the two girls...
you know like Ooo I didn't recognize...ooh some kind of..you feel..
but now the triangle is more...
yea, your kind of the victim in a way, because you have to fight for Olli's love..
so you have to fight this time...
yea, and I love playing jealous and being aggressive...
and really jealous, its really funny, because when we talk about the story
we really get angry because he says, no...I am the victim....
I'm the victim ....okay?
its funny, so you see we are pretty close to our characters on the show right now...
Someone have a camera? you filming this? This is going to be on next season...
anymore questions?
Does the music come in there first?
or do you know anything about the music at the time?
No, they put the music on the scene after we shot them
and when we are filming we don't know which song will be on afterwards.
so that Breath Me song, I didn't know it up to this point
and when I finally saw the scene for the first time, and saw it with the song...
it really touched me, because the song fit so perfectly to the scene...
but I never know what song will be on... - but...
on "Alles was zählt" they tried to copy the song ...and another..
in Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten... I saw it in another soap opera...
You copied our song???
Its our song!!
yea! we recognized that!
If you guys get that jealous about other shows taking that song...
how do you feel about Sebastian and Lydia having that song too?
They had it too??
yea, I saw that scene..
It was different....
no, its absolutely ok, I like Lydia and Sabastian
and its ok to share our song with them...
but as you heard, its our song...
and I told them, after I saw the scene...
I went to the actress who plays Lydia and said You had our song!
She said..Im sorry....
They didnt ask us....
