"Verbotene Liebe" loses its main lesbian

by Trish Bendix for afterellen.com

After several ups and downs in life and love, the German soap opera Verbotene Liebe's major lesbian character Carla Sophia Gräfin von Lahnstein (played by Claudia Hiersche) has exited the show under the premise of going on a "round-the-world trip."

Unfortunately, dedicated fans of the show know that actress Hiersche is not planning to return to the series anytime soon.

Hiersche joined the show in 2003, taking on the role of the role of Carla, the beautiful countess whose rocky love life has included affairs with several women (Evelyn, Hanna, Anke), marriage to a man, being outed to her family, and divorcing her husband and then marrying a woman (Susanne), with whom she had a daughter (Sophia).

While her relationship with Susanne would eventually fail, Carla later met and fell in love with saucy hotel manager Stella.

(For a detailed overview of the Carla/Stella relationship and episode recaps in English, check out this blog by AE reader MeL, or read the AE Carla Hiersche/Verbotene Liebe forum thread.)

The development of the relationship between Carla and Stella was enjoyed by devoted fans in much the same way that Guiding Light fans celebrated the romance of Natalia and Olivia (aka Otalia). Carla and Stella were portrayed like the other couples on the show, including scenes showing their physical intimacy.

As one of the show's major characters, Hiersche has been a mainstay and her departure was a disappointment to many viewers, lesbian and otherwise. Carla and Stella's last appearance on the show was November 10.

How do you feel about Carla's indefinite "round-the-world" trip?

Danke Muis

sagt mal gibt es von claudia überhaupt kein interview oder sonst was?
auf der verbotene liebe seite von ard gibts ja auch nichts, nicht mal ein bericht etc. , das wird ja sonst immer mitgeteilt wenn jemand aufhört...

Her departure makes the show less enjoyable. Though I know from other accounts that she will occasionally appear on the show, it is still a disappointment to know that she will not be on the show regularly. To me she makes the show and without her it falls flat.

Not sure where to post this question, alas...here it is!

Does anybody know about the writers of VL? In other words, thinking just about Carla's story, I am wondering whether writers for all her time in VL were the same?

And is there any info (preferably in English!) about the writers - is it just a one team, or they change from character to character, etc....
