In early 2015, after twenty years on German television, Verboten Liebe will go off the air. This long running serial has a history of same sex relationship story lines and in supporting the LGBT community in general. Marlene and Rebecca (Marbecca) as portrayed by Melanie Kogler and Tatjana Kästel, is the latest and some say greatest same-sex love story the show has ever produced due to the great acting and amazing chemistry of the two actresses. After almost two years together, however, this couple and her fans are now in limbo.
Please give this couple and their fans the happy ending they deserve. These two are soul-mates, the "love of my life" as each said. Rebecca once promised, "I will always fight for you because you are the most important thing in my life." To then give up so easily, without a second chance, without a fight, makes no sense to their struggles to be together nor to their thousands of fans throughout the world.
Please also take a couple of minutes to write VL at: [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected]. And let them know you want to see a happy ending for Marbecca.

There is very little lesbian representation on TV shows in most countries. MarBecca's story may have its flaws but it is very well acted and really means something to a lot of us. Please bring them back, and if Verbotene Liebe is to go off air, please give Marbecca a well-written, happy ending!
