there many critics from the viewers especielly from the fans of stella mann .the “forbidden love” chief-author bernadette feiler has not interessert that and starla offen look like good friends, instead a couple in love. the story has no rigth storyboard like canna/suca or kerstin and juliette and was offen tell to fast and to short. many fans are disappoint.

yes the great point from stella and carla was that both woman are lesbians, but they has make more than carla become here happy and at the end of the story.why stella mann also leave “forbidden love”. for me the author have not see what chance there was. with stella mann was the chance after claudia hiersche wants to leave the show, to tell lesbian stories after carla.

carla von lahnstein for me is a speciel person, why claudia hiersche has play here. with here speciel humor, charm and here ability as an actress. she is the one and only for me.
the story with hanna was written so warn and tender, it was here frist great love. i like to see so much and it was the beste beginning for claudia hiersche in vl.
after hanna´s dead she meat susanne. both has for the first time a offiziell realationship with a woman. the marriage and become a child of love. it was a log- distance relationship. and the love each other atfter the of this realtionship. i like susanne most among carla. she has here opinion, goes here own way and was not easy charakter, like carla herself. this is what the realtionship stands for.
and i like the actress claudia scarpatetti/susanne before i know claudia hiersche/carla, in here frist time, as she plays in “forbidden love” and in ” das amt”.
carla von lahnstein, was a amazing role, in the tv- world, i like here history so much and i like the happy end that she become, but i am a fan of the actress claudia hiersche and so this i say, it´s time to fly away and play other roles. that for an actress stand´s for.

Corrections: I actually meant “unlike when I first saw Carla on VL …” And needing “something to relate to” because I can’t seem to find it yet in either Juliette or Kerstin. Maybe I will find it or maybe I won’t. I’ve gotten used to all the teasing, it’s a soap after all. It takes a lot for me to be drawn to a certain character, that’s why I don’t follow much gay stories on tv or the Internet. I’m giving Juliette and Kerstin a chance simply because (please don’t shoot me!) they’re Germans. I’m still wishing and hoping either of them could somehow duplicate Carla and Stella’s charms. But Juliette and Kerstin don’t even come close. I know they’re all different from each other and each one should be appreciated on her own. It’s what I look for, what I want and much more. I’m sticking to it.

I don’t know much about VL except for most of Carla’s storylines. I finally gave it a chance middle of last year when everyone seemed got caught up with her on AE that they started recapping the story leading up to her and Stella’s much anticipated roll on the hay. Yep, I started following Carla and Stella just when they were about to leave the show. I don’t regret not seeing Carla sooner, there’s always the Internet to catch up on things I missed. So, I crammed and tried to watch and read as much as I can. One look at Carla and I just couldn’t take my eyes off of her. And I’m glad Stella is equally charming. I can’t decide yet which of Carla’s three major love stories I like the most, but I’m absolutely sure that I love Stella the most among Carla’s girlfriends. I think I was still hung up on Dr. Erica Hahn’s infamous departure from Grey’s Anatomy and Bette Porter was leaving LA for NY when I decided to check out VL. Great for me that I did. I’m still mad at those jerks who left Brooke Smith out in the cold, though. I’m still waiting for the next Carla or Bette or Nikki on my tv. I just hope I don’t have to wait too long.

I agree with what you write about needing something to relate to in a character in order to warm up to them. When I look back at all the TV couples whose storylines I followed, there was always at least one character if not both that I liked a lot. For example, I had a huge crush on Dr. Kerstin Herzog on Hinter Gittern, that’s why I started to follow the Kerstin & Sascha storyline. There were lesbians on that show before, but I didn’t really care about them. Also, I thought that Nina Ryan, Carla’s predecessor as the resident lesbian on Verbotene Liebe, was very cute, so I continued watching even after her relationship with Erica failed and only stopped watching when her storyline got way too weird. (By the way, in case you didn’t know that: Nina is the daughter of Elisabeth, Carla’s stepmother.)

As for Kerstin and Juliette, I’d say let’s wait and see. I was a little annoyed by Juliette at first, but it’s getting better, and I liked her a lot in the scenes with Carlos this and last week, I think that the two of them were very cute together (in a platonic, friendly way, of course ).

Please allow me to indulge a bit. I miss Carla and Stella. Deeply. Terribly. I’m trying to enjoy Juliette and Kerstin’s story but I keep seeing Carla and Stella in their shoes. Kinda weird, isn’t it? Sigh. I know I should give Juliette and Kerstin a chance, and that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m still warming up to these new lovely ladies. It’ll probably take a little more time because I don’t gravitate easily to either of the two. Not unlike when I first saw Carla on VL or Bette on TLW or Nikki on Bad Girls. I guess I need a little more time, and something to relate on. So, please do continue updating us. And can you please tell me what Marienhof is? Google won’t translate it. Thanks again.
