  2. In other news: I just watched the very last episode of the Dutch soap "Onderweg Naar Morgen". Sad to see it end. Especially because we now have only one soap left (not counting a 10 minute teen soap).

    Thankfully GTST is still getting good ratings. They're even moving to a new studio. Today was their last day at the old studio in Aalsmeer. Because of this cast and crew were having lunch on the Rozenboom set (the Rozenboom is GTST's version of ATWT's Lakeview): http://twitpic.com/1nni9z
