About the German Soap Opera

So Verbotene Liebe, I don't watch it, but I do watch some of the clips that people post, normally the unsubbed ones because I am watching it mostly for the practising of my German (because the acting, it is that one step too bad for me to cope with). A comment on the latest one I have seen has explained a lot. They're in Dusseldorf - that's why I can't understand a word Axel says.
