Since my last post this soap has been relentless in murdering its characters. The following have all been killed off in the last couple of months:
Letizia Von Altenburg
shot in a hostage situation
Raphael Suarez
hostage taker. Forced to commit suicide in his prison cell
Erich Schulter
fallen off (or pushed from?) a turret on his wedding day
Antonia Fuchs
Julia Meyer
Raquel Santana
all killed in a bus crash, along with the entire student body of the Dance Factory
....so it's been a busy one!
Other than that we've had leukemia, adultery, and now yet more kidnapping. So, always dramatic!
The big story of the moment revolves around the Steinkamp family (once more). Maximilian, accused of murdering Erich Schulter, has been helped to escape prison by his mother, Simone. The problem is that Maximilian is CRIMINALLY UNHINGED and has figured out the bleeding obvious: that mummy's on-off husband Richard has framed him to cover up his "accident" from his newly-widowed daughter. Instead of leaving the country with the faked passports provided, Maximilian has taken Richard hostage. As if Richard's history of heart complaints wasn't bad enough (surprisingly though this has not yet been mentioned), it is getting increasingly difficult to keep grieving Jenny in the dark...
Plus, Simone has figured out where he is being kept captive but in now trapped in a lift.

In other news Ben is not wasting any time (when does he ever) falling from one love into the next. His mood fluctuates from grief at the death of his girlfriend Julia to his developing feelings for his new Bestie in Sorrow, Iva.
We have also been treated to some rather dodgy flashbacks set to the music of Take That, showing the blossoming of a young relationship that we now know to have ended in 3 years of lies, cheating and betrayal...which all feels kind of pointless really. Oh well, I guess they had to give the new family something to do (and make up for the current lack of cast members with storylines)!
But with all this drama going on, what is the teaser for today's episode?
