[QUOTE="Marika, post: 265052, member: 721"] Regarding "[I]The Restless Years[/I]": The show's concept was exported to Europe two decades later: In the Netherlands, "Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden" debuted in 1990, and in Germany, "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten" debuted in 1992. During their first year on the air, both shows used the same set of characters and storylines as "[I]The Restless Years[/I]" with only minor alterations. In the German adaption, the Archer family remained intact while in the original version, Louise and Clive were written out quite early in the show's run. The German pendants of Jeff and Carol Archer only had a few appearances whereas in the Dutch adaption, they became main characters. Also in the German version, the first incarnation of Heather Russell turned out to be an impostor when the actresses needed to be switched, which apparently didn't happen in the Australian nor the Dutch version. Both the Dutch and the German adaption are still on the air as of today. GZSZ is the most successful show in Germany and has aired over 7.200 episodes. Here's a comparison of the original characters ... I linked the German counterparts with character profiles (with English translations) so you can read what happened to these characters in the German adaption. The show was heavily retooled after the first 230 episodes with many of the original characters leaving and being replaced by newbies.
