Meet Christian Mann.

Christian likes sports. Christian’s father
Wolfgang had him sent to prison for holding up a gas station when Wolfgang actually did it. Christian now has no family except
his brother, and dreams of being a sports star. Christian iz b X-Facta.
After leaving prison, Christian moves to Dusseldorf
with his brother. Christian has a relationship with Nico and then Coco because Christian
loves him some wimmins.
Christian has a flatmate. His name is Oliver.

Oliver has a face that utterly confuses me.
He is also bisexual. He used to be in the show a while ago where he had a boyfriend called Tom.
Christian doesn’t like Olli at first,
because he likes the mens. He doesn’t like Olli a whole lot more when Olli kisses his girlfriend. And then Christian’s
as confused as Olli’s aforementioned face makes me when Olli falls in love with Christian.
Christian and Olli have a third flatmate. Her name is Judith.

Judith is training to be an architect, so at the moment she works on a construction
site. She is all kinds of awesome.
The last of our gang is the wily, man-whore, sex god of all the land, Christian’s
brother Gregor.

Everything you need to know about Gregor will be revealed in due course. For now, all you need to know
is that Gregor is insanely hot and genius in every way, though this picture doesn’t really do him justice. Remember
the incest thing? Since Gregor and Christian are the most attractive in this storyline, yes please.
There is also a beautiful, beautiful man named Sebastian, but he hasn't entered this storyline
yet. Rest assured, when he does, he will be beautiful.
So, what’s
the story?
We begin, as do most episodes featuring these guys, with Christian lifting weights. Christian is
a big strong man and his manly man stink will attract all the wimmins. Especially now Coco’s upped and gone. Why did she go?
Because Christian and
Olli got up to some mad tonsil hockey, that’s why. This was after Christian discovered that Olli had kissed Coco. At this point in the story, Olli was a bigger whore than Gregor. That’s an amazing feat
in itself. It’s alright though, because Coco was nowhere near as amazing as Judith
or Olli’s friend Olivia (resident bitch).
So after Christian and Olli’s first kiss, the former gets very, very homophobic,
and the latter very, very sad. However, Christian’s having some very confusing thoughts in his pants, and starts watching
Olli in the shower, though not in a Norman Bates way.
With no one else to turn to, Christian logs on to a gay chatroom, and discusses
his concerns with another user who offers him advice. Olli also logs onto a chat site, where a boy helps him get through his
unrequited love for Christian. The irony is, they’re talking to each other but don’t even know it! This is like
that episode of Lizzie McGuire where Gordo wrote into Lizzie’s agony aunt column and declared his love for her without
her knowing! 100% AMAZING!
Anyway, Christian finds out that it was Olli he was chatting to all along and goes through all
sorts of drama, culminating in the pair of them having hot, steamy mansex.
Christian then has more angst. He sits on the bathroom floor and cries a lot
before he realises that the only solution is to be a complete bastard! Problem solved!
Christian tells Olli that it was just an experiment. Shagging Olli made him
realise he doesn’t like the mens. I suspect he lies, but it makes Olli very sad, but very determined indeed. This is
pleasing to me, as when Olli is determined, his face is less confusing.
Christian puts on Olli’s aftershave, and the smell brings back the memories
of their one night stand. This is shown with a hint of sepia and the film exposed, as it is a flashback. It is also very pretty.
Christian is confused, but confirms he still loves the wimmins.
The show then begins to use beer bottles and bananas in very suggestive ways.
This leads me to believe that Gregor actually writes the scripts.
Olli is determined to get Christian to come out, but Christian’s having
none of it, as sporting stars are not allowed to be gay. Plus, the added angst makes him really X-Facta.
Olli doesn’t give up, and uses some kick-arse insults on Christian.
The next day, GREGOR IS THERE! We love Gregor and his big, handsome face. Gregor has been training Christian for a sprint
which determines whether or not Christian can be a student. I wish I got into university by running around in lycra. Olli
offers Christian a good luck charm, but he rejects it, because Christian has to be an arsehole lest he detract from the glory
that is Gregor.
On a side note: Christian is the only man in Germany
who looks good in orange.
Olli’s got Christian
distracted, and he’s already had two false starts in his sprint. But then Olli joins Gregor in the cheerleading squad
and Christian wins. Aww, they’re obviously in love. Olli has really sticky out ears. This is my latest thing due to
Russell Tovey. IF ONLY HIS FACE WASN’T SO DAMN CONFUSING!
Gregor, ever the gent, invites Olli out for celebratory drinks, but Christian is rude to Olli again
and Olli runs away to hatch a new plan.
Judith has a dinner party and there are meaningful glances across the table between the boys. Judith,
however, has her sights set on Fabian. These two are adorable, if Olivia and her twat of a friend would leave them be.
Christian and Olli kiss at No Limits, the bar Gregor owns, while Timbaland feat. One Republic play
on the radio because unlike Hollyoaks, Verbotene Liebe has a soundtrack that doesn’t consist entirely of Razorlight
and The Zutons.
Gregor sees the kiss and immediately calls Christian sick, saying he’s
glad Wolfgang isn’t around to see it. This is weird. Gregor is so goddamn amazing that he’d probably encourage
them.
And that’s because it’s another one of Christian’s dreams.
Your subconscious doesn’t lie, Christian. You’re a massive gheyist so why don’t you just take off your pants
and get down with the groove?
Christian, under Gregor’s instruction, invites the annoying Miriam out
to a club. Just because you used to be a call boy, Gregor, doesn’t mean you should force Christian to go on dates he
doesn’t want to. Christian couldn’t pull it off as masterfully as you. (I made a wanking joke!)
Christian and Miriam go to the club, and Olli’s there too, grinding
with someone I will refer to as Plot Device Boy. Christian gets really jealous and starts a fight with Plot Device Boy. Olli
is secretly pleased.
The gang head back to No Limits and explain the events to Gregor. Christian
claims he only attacked Plot Device Boy as he was bad news . Gregor accepts it. He’s a bit slow on the uptake, but he’s
very handsome.
Christian angsts in his room again. He is wearing a rather nice green shirt
and Sia is playing, This is now considered Christian and Olli’s “song” so this scene is obviously important.
Olli is by the door, refusing to leave until Christian talks to him. Olli’s silhouette against the frosted glass is
actually terrifying.
After some thought,
Christian unlocks the door. Turning away from Olli in the way all soap characters do when they’re about to reveal a
deep secret. Christian finally admits that he’s in love with Olli and they get down to some serious kissing. Christian’s
lovely shirt is quickly disbanded, which I suppose is a good thing. It doesn’t want to get creased or stained.
So after the inevitable sexxins, Christian and Olli emerge from the bedroom sans
trousers, and Olli backs Christian up against a wall for discussion of pizza and more kissing.
But the door unlocks and in walk Judith and Gregor. Normally I’d hate these
interruptions, but the combined amazingness of Judith and Gregor make it worthwhile. Especially brilliant is how clueless
Gregor is about the whole thing, even though they’re in just their boxer shorts, are standing very close to each other
and look completely shagged out. Judith, smart girl, has her suspicions.
Gregor invites Christian to a club where he aims to get a lot of pussy and according
to his mime, do some ballroom dancing. The previous sentence alone makes me love Gregor even more. Christian declines, feigning
tiredness. He panics to Olli about coming out to Gregor, as he is the only family Christian has left. Christian is TOTALLY
winning X-Facta now.
Christian and Olli attempt to share a shower for no plot purpose other than it’s pretty,
but are interrupted by Judith. I’m glad. Shower sex? Health and safety, boys!
After some hilarious double entendres from Christian and Judith, Judith the Mighty susses out their
relationship and thinks they’d make a cute couple. She promises to keep her mouth shut, and Christian and Olli kiss
in front of her. It’s very domestic.
While training, Christian jokes with Gregor about reviving his career as a male escort. Please
let this happen! I want to see Gregor have sexy times for cash! It’d be like My Own Private Idaho, but less depressing
and more German. Olli turns up at the gym and Gregor leaves them to finish practising and lock up.
With them being the only ones there, Christian and Olli have sex in the gym and then frolic in
the showers. It doesn’t really need explaining much.
Gregor returns! Olli runs away in a towel, it’s all quite funny. It turns out Gregor’s
car won’t start. That car must be a fair walk away because in the time Gregor’s been gone, the boys have exercised,
had sex and showered.
After their close call,
Christian worries even more about Gregor finding out, and Olli tells him not to worry, he can take all the time he needs.
How sweet etc.
Olli discusses Christian’s concerns with Judith, and Christian gets pissed
off about it. For God’s sake Christian, stop angsting! You already is b X-Facta! Do you want to be Graham Norton’s
Nancy
too? (I made a gay joke about a talent search show! WIN!)
Christian pours coffee in the sugar bowl because he is retarded. But you don’t
need brains to be a sports superstar!
Gregor tries to convince Christian to come on a double date with him. That’s
not good form, Gregor! I should think you’d want all the sexy ladies in the house to yourself! Christian wears orange.
At the gym, Christian unexpectedly tells Gregor he’s gay. He even says the
words “Gregor, I’m gay!” Gregor has the best reaction ever. He calls them all gay boxers and says it’s
the solution! WHAT?!?

| NOTE: This is an actual subtitle from the show. And this picture really does nothing for Gregor. |
Gregor doesn’t believe Christian one bit, but says that “gay or bi – it improves
your chances of getting a date”. I love that Gregor’s basically a talking erection.
Christian does some more stuff with weights. Meanwhile, Olli dances around the flat to Lily Allen.
I think this sums them both up quite well. Christian emerges, and they do some kissings.
Suddenly, Judith’s hot. She has a date with Fabian, so she dispatches the boys to the cinema.
They return from the cinema, and get a bit horny, so they decide they want to have sex on the sofa.
Eww, don’t they know Judith has to sit there in the morning?
Judith, as it happens,
is already there, crying because of her break-up with Fabian. The three drink wine and are generally adorable.
Gregor, on the other hand, needs some pussy! He goes on a date with Miriam
and shags her rotten. Miriam instantly falls in love. I’m not surprised. I bet Gregor’s excellent in bed with
all that practice and his big, handsome face. Gregor flirts with another lady in front of Miriam and she is heartbroken. Miriam’s
rubbish anyway. Turns out, Gregor’s serial dating is the result of his lasting love for his separated wife. Christian
and Olli generally stand around and Olli wears an amazing shirt.
COMING NEXT:
The Gregor Mann Show!!! Gregor shags his way through all the ladies of Dusseldorf, we see the return of Plot Device Boy, Judith
gets some DRAMAZ and Christian still looks unexpectedly brilliant in orange.
