About a month ago, we said goodbye to Carla and Stella, the lesbian couple on German soap opera “Verbotene Liebe”, as they left the Lahnstein estate to go on a round-the-world trip and get married. The characters had to be written out of the show as actress Claudia Hiersche, who had played Carla Gräfin von Lahnstein for more than six years, decided to leave the cast.

What eased the pain for “Starla’s” growing number of fans was that there were reports that at least Claudia Hiersche was supposed to return for guest appearances. What was still uncertain, though, was whether Anne Wis, who plays Carla’s fiancé Stella Mann, would join her for those guest appearances.

Luckily, the answer is yes. According to reports on Claudia Hiersche’s official fansite, both Claudia and Anne returned to the Verbotene Liebe set in Köln-Ossendorf in November to film scenes for not only one, but several episodes, which will start to air January 28th, 2010.

*SPOILER*

Judging from the previews of the first two episodes, which were just released, Carla is furious when, upon her return, she finds out that Maria is not her mother Francesca. But instead of confronting Maria, Carla keeps her feelings bottled up, until the situation escalates during an accidental meeting.

*END OF SPOILER*

You can find a detailed fan report of a visit on the Verbotene Liebe set in the forum of the Official Claudia Hiersche Fansite. Previews of upcoming episodes are available on the official VL website and here (search for “Verbotene Liebe”). As soon as there are more reports, you will read about them here.
