Viola Wedekind suffered from panic attacks
Viola Wedekind, 43, is one of the most popular characters in “Sturm der Liebe”. And not because the character of the role is so well received, but because the fans are enthusiastic about the talent of the actress. Especially in the last few months Wedekind has proven incredibly authentic performances. Because “Ariane Kalenberg” was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Although this is just an intrigue by her arch enemy Christoph Saalfeld (Dieter Bach, 57), Ariane believes in a life-threatening illness. For Viola Wedekind herself, these scenes of suffering brought back painful memories from her private life.
“I have experienced a lot of misery and suffering,” reveals the 43-year-old in an interview with “Freizeit Spass”. You lost a good friend to cancer. She also accompanied her grandparents to death. The fictional brain tumor of her “Sturm der Liebe” figure therefore preoccupied her a lot. Additionally, the actress suffered from panic attacks for some time after getting back into the job shortly after giving birth to her son. “I had a kind of panic attack on set. I didn’t get a medical diagnosis, but it felt like that. I was short of breath, started shaking and felt overwhelmed,” said Wedekind. The actress then sought help, successfully fighting the attacks. Today she is free from anxiety – something that she owes above all to her husband and son.

“Storm of Love” hero fights for his life
Are we sacrificing the savior? Florian (Arne Löber, 28) rescued his ex-girlfriend Maja (Christina Arends, 30) and her childhood sweetheart Hannes (Pablo Konrad, 30) from a buried cave in an unprecedented relief effort and thus saved their lives. But now, of all people, the brave hero has to reckon with dire consequences.
While rescuing the cave, the courageous liberator sustained a graze. Shooting pain in the right hand is the bitter result. “Fürstenhof” doctor Dr. Michael Niederbühl (Erich Altenkopf, 52) first provided the injured person with an ointment. But the very next day, Florian panics because he suddenly can’t feel his hand anymore. Further treatment with an antibiotic helps to improve the situation in the short term, but a short time later Florian gets a high fever. When he was still struggling with imbalance and impaired vision, the situation came to a head dramatically.
Another examination by Michael confronts the young forester with a shocking diagnosis: The infection is spreading in his body and apparently cannot be stopped by the usual medication. Will Florian be able to win the fight against time?

Johannes Huth is enthusiastic about his “Storm of Love” character
What would “Storm of Love” be without the surprising declarations of love, deceitful intrigues or the appearance of a new family member who causes chaos? Johannes Huth, 32, from now on as “Gerry Richter” in the telenovela, has almost all of the surprise effects that fans love. The actor explains in a video that was shared on the series’ official Instagram account how he feels about his role and what he particularly likes about Gerry.
Gerry travels to Bichlheim to surprise his little brother Max Richter (Stefan Hartmann, 31). “On the way there he meets Shirin (Merve Çakir, 27) and falls madly in love,” reveals Huth. “I think it becomes clear there that Gerry is a bit different, lives in his own world. Perhaps many would perceive him as simple, naive or even limited,” the actor presumes. For himself, however, the role has desirable character traits that he would like to learn a slice of in his private life. “I […] see Gerry as an incredibly fun-loving, direct person, without any prejudices. It’s really great to play a character like that. “Sounds like viewers can look forward to an exciting new love story. Or is there a fight between the brothers? After all, Shirin is one of Max’s best friends. .
