Claudia Hiersche on Verbotene Liebe!!!!

Lets not forget about Claudia Hiersche!!!

 She is an amazing actress who plays the role of Carla for several years now, she has won and lost loves, she came out to the world (eventually) and now she is raising a kid on her onw!!

 I know that most of you don't understand a word of German so that's why I'm making (read: trying to make) subs for all those wonderfull clips!! I know that there are allready a lot of them, so I'm just filling in the blank spots!!

 My channel is called CarlaFreak, you can ask me anything about the show, and understand the full story. Because it's to beautifull to miss it!!!

Did I get that right??

Is she gay ?????

Yes

Yeah, she's gay. "Verbotene Liebe" ( = Forbidden Love) is a daily soap on German TV (on a public service broadcaster...well, at least I hope that's the right english expression, it's not a private tv broadcaster but one which gets sponsored by the government).

 

Carla's one character of the show and, as said, her relationships have been a topic of the show for a long time now. [I've only watched a few episodes and they seemed a little too cliché for my taste, but at least Carla didn't leave the show after a month or so].

I actually want to know about

That young blonde girl who was trying to seduce one of Carla's girlfriends. She was obvisoulsy straight, but seemed to start getting confused. What was the deal with her?

Vanessa

I'm making those clips as we speak, so if you want to understand, just have a look!

Aya, I think you may be

Aya, I think you may be referring to Vanessa. She was Carla's step-daughter I believe. Carla was in love with Hanna but married some man (I forgot his name) because her family didn't know she was gay. The man she married had a daughter, Vanessa, who for some reason tried to or succeeded in seducing one of Carla's girlfriends, Anke. I don't speak German so I'm not sure if Vanessa was really gay or what. I also think she may have had a crush on Carla but then again, I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Yeah, Vanessa does sound familar. Thanks for the info. I guess she's gone now. Too bad, could have been an interesting future storyline.

Carla von Lahnstein

Vanessa's been gone for a long time, at least for two years, Carla kicked her (and Vanessa's father who she had married to uphold a straight facade) out of the castle (Carla is a countess) when she found out they were really nothing but grifters who had conned her (and her wealthy family) as well. Carla came out of the closet after that - she had made little steps out of the closet before - with her family - but when Bernd and Vanessa were gone, she didn't hide anymore.

Her first true love, Hanna, had died tragically and quite unexpectedly. Carla had planned to come out for Hanna, she wanted to live with her, openly, but after Hanna's death Carla was too troubled and too destroyed to even try, plus her conniving brother and her alibi fiancé (future husband) did everything they could to keep her in the closet.

Carla had a pretty steamy affair with Anke Hoffman, but it was just an affair, and she ended it when Anke came on to Vanessa - Vanessa played gay in order to get rid of Anke who threatened her and her father's comfortable life at the castle. She figured that if Carla came out or fell in love with Anke, there would not be a place for her at the castle anymore.

Then Susanne Brandner came into Carla's life - Susanne had been with men all her life, but she fell in love with Carla at first sight. She was a single mother, supporting her family by driving a taxi cab, and one day a beautiful blonde woman (Carla) hopped into her car - and the rest is history. Carla did not fall in love with Susanne right away, they became friends, and when Susanne confessed her love, Carla was not ready for a relationship yet, Hanna was still her one true love.

But with time, she started to realize she was in love with Susanne as well, and they became a couple, they even got married - there was quite a hype in the media about the wedding episodes - later they had a child together, a girl, Sophia, and all would have been awesome if the storyliners hadn't decided to use that stupid old cliché to bring a man (Lars) into the relationship. The sperm donor, no less, and Hanna's former lover, the guy who lost Hanna when she fell in love with Carla. I'll spare you the gory details - sadly Carla and Susanne are no longer a couple, even though Susanne did fight for Carla till the end - but Carla couldn't trust her wife anymore after Susanne had kissed Lars. Susanne stayed with Lars for a little while, but she still loved Carla. She broke up with Lars, but Carla's trust couldn't be won back. They got a divorce, and Susanne left the city.

I really loved Carla & Susanne. I really hate unimaginative storyliners.

Here are two nice videos, there's some nudity involved in the first one, so please watch at your own discretion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3w6cUbWnTQ

Carla's marriage proposal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5g4C-PFNWOI

Carla's been a main character on this daytime soap opera for a few years, and she's always been a lesbian, there was never a doubt. This in itself is a great thing and quite unusual. Plus the actress plays the role really well, and she has a lot of fans.
