when someone dies in the hospital, bringing them home and then lay them out like that in an open casket seems really ought to me, we would never do that here in Denmark, I don't even think it is legal, the deceased wouldn't leave the morgue until the funeral
You're wrong, dipsyhappy. It IS legal but it is very seldom that people do so now a days. But - it still happens. It was very common untill about 30 years ago - and beleive me - I should know, 'cause I'm in that business - I play the organ at about 110 memorial services per year.
Lucas is breaking my heart and that scene with Anton and Bianca at the end....wow. I may not be a big fan of Anton but I feel for him cause I think he feels he fails as doctor and father to save his son and doesn't want to deal with the fact hes gone.
You think he's feeling guilty about breaking up with him? If he hadn't he wouldn't have gotten together with Ron, and he might be alive right now. It's not a silly assumption for someone who is grieving
I am really worried about Lucas. Someone needs to step in and take some level of control. Then there is Bianca and Anton. The death of Edwin can easily ruin their marriage. The death of a child can break up a couple very easily.
this is so sad. I am crying. poor Lucas is feeling so much pain right now. I hope in the next episode that Lucas goes to the house to view Edwin and to say goodbye and to have some closure. in the USA you can not be laid out at home.
I can’t help but feel a little f***ing upset that the two (straight) couples get to go back to their normal lives and be happy again, but there will no longer be Edwin and Lucas. However, I’m still looking forward to when Lucas finds a new love interest or someone finds him. Since this is the soap world, I know it will take a while.
In the Netherlands, you can choose between home viewings and viewings in buildings which are specially built for it. These buildings are most of the time near a cemetry. It's common to choose for home viewings, but it's not so common in the living room, most of the time it's in a sleeping room or another seperate room.
I like this because Edwin goes into full circle. This closure will help everyone who are passionate for Edwin and Lucas. I do understand Lucas and Anton, both are in their stages of grieving process. Great actors. I am in despair, but, of the story, but Lucas and Edwin's passion will remain to live in our hearts. Thank You fanMark! Thank You GTST!
Edwin looks handsome on his last scene. Thank you EDWIN!
While I'm sad that thye killed Edwin off ,I'm glad that are at least giving the situation proper closure . So many times they kill off a character & boom that's it ,you don't hear or see anymore of/about them and there's no closure for the ones watching ! Nina should realize what Lucas is going through & let him grieve & it was heartbreaking when Lucas pulled away from Noud & the look on Noud's face . Hopefully Lucas will open up soon to someone !
may i just say that i have not disliked Nina more the past few episodes than ever. she was desperate when Noud was almost gone. But Edwin is gone and she doesn't seem to understand that Lucas needs to go through his way of grief.
i feel more sorry for the family than lucas, he will find another lover but tey will never have another son or brother, anton's face at the end is just heartbreaking :C
I think that Lucas and Edwin really were destined for one another but destiny had other plans. I see Lucas and Edwin as any other couple and not just the "gay" wonder couple who have loved, fought, loved, and now lost. For Lucas he is experiencing the lost of someone he has loved truly for the first time in his life like any other soap couple who has come before him has. I look forward to his growth and where his story will go from here.
Ja das ist erlaubt in die niederlanden. Haha love to speak german. Weird it is not possible there.... Anyways nice to see that german people watch lud(win) too!!
Bianca is amazing, even Anton has beend oing his role so perfectly, the parents of Lucas and the rest of the cast did all their parts in a very perfect way...well done everyone, would love to see how Lucas would be able to find love again and how he handle things, how sad that Edwin has to leave, are they running out of cash to pay Edwin, lol.....
It's always weird to see other people's funeral customs. I watched an episode of Hollyoaks a few years ago when Tina died and they had her body in their living room too. I'll be perfectly honest, I think it would freak me out to have the dead body of a loved one in the room with me for however long. Plus, I think that would make it harder to just be sitting on the couch and look over and 'Yep. Still dead', but.... I feel so bad for Bianca. She really needs Anton & he's just not there..
I think this is very difficult for Lucas parents and Nina, on one side they are happy because Noud feels good again and on the other side there is Lucas who has lost Edwin, in german we would say "Freud und Leid liegen nah beieinander" ("happiness and hurt always come together")
and I also feel so sorry for Bianca who has to handle this all alone, because Anton can not accept that Ed is dead
PLEASE !!!!Explain me about the funeral. Here in Brazil the body is cover with flowers from the waist down in veil, and there are candles to, and the family never stay alone with the dead one...always have a friend, the whole nigth. How about your cowntry? Tell me please!
Why did they have to kill Edwin's character? This episode showed how each character deals with grief and how they are connected by Ed's death... I still can't believe Ed's dead...
Wow, this show is so good. I was crying so much, especially at the ending scenes between Bianca and Anton. I'm very worried that this might end up pulling them apart. So very sad.
And poor Lucas, my heart is just breaking for him.
Everything will be so difficult for all the characters: Lucas seeing Nina and Noud being happy; Anton being to late to save his son but in time to save Noud; Lucas and the whole family Bouwhuis seeing Jack who brought the virus to Meerdijk and survived! Bianca seeing her husband and not be able to reach him. It is good they spend so much time on the grief and the goodbye of Edwin. We will miss him (and I still hope this whole period of this Ebola virus will turn out to be a bad nightmare!!!)
I feel for all the characters but all of them are dealing with it in their own way, Bianca needs Anton with her to comfort her as Husband but Anton is just do devastated that he couldn't save Edwin that he arrived too late (regardless Edwin was going to die so he couldn't be saved) and therefore he's in more pain than anybody realizes. Lucas is just Gooone!!!! He can't deal with it he's not in denial he's just absolutely bitter for one angry but deep down a part of him is dying. Thanks Mark!! K
@pppmanly and especially when he realises that he could have saved him.. if only that other doctor didn't stop him to gave his son the medicine... he might would be alive! :'(
I see a potential alcholicism story for Lucas. I loved how they had him flinch when Noud went to hug him, because that's probably a subtle reality (he doesn't want any young man hugging him because he wants Edwin). Everyone is doing a fantastic job with their acting. I love how the show is portraying everyone's grief differently, and not just Lucas's. Usually soaps tend to focus on making the lover's grief different, but they took everyone into account here. Thanks, Mark, for the upload.
I used to love the show but now...It's so sad. I thinking Lucas never will find happyness again! And poor Sjoerd and Bianca, and poor Anton He didn't make...save his own sonç.
Life is about perspective, each of these characters is going through their own private hell with this, each feeling alone, and like no one can possibly understand their grief. Heartbreaking. To those who keep saying things like, it should have been Noud...just remember that the international audience is but a tiny portion of GTST's audience. Noud has been on the show longer and is also very popular. The majority of the GTST audience watches the entire show not just Lucas/Edwin.
i feel anger and sadness, i still can't believe they killed edwin off, it was just so unexpected, i'm gonna miss edwin and i'm gonna miss raynor on the show
Ludo has to deal with the fact that he was one day too late to save his son and only arrived seconds before it was impossible. He is a man who holds emotions in all things and this must be the hardest he has ever had to try to maintain. Everyone should understand that. This is just a story; but even I cannot control my emotion. I understand as I lost my partner to cancer in less than 2 months after it was discovered. This is now as hard as a real loss.
I'm crying the whole week because Edwin died, every episodes in this week just makes me crying crying and crying again.. I even can't able to stop it..it's like Lucas isn't the one who's struggles with Edwin's death.. because I felt the same..I thought everything will never be the same again after Edwin's death... A lot of tears for Ludwin!! The crying is likely to continue until the next few weeks
actually in the episode of the 24th of January Anton started crying in the halls of the hospital after he visited noud, who got the anti-virus in time and survived. I think I found it one of the best scenes of the last few eps just because Joep's acting was so incredibly good. I could just feel the emotions Anton was feeling. It was a very sad scene:'-( so Anton does care, even though he doesn't show it to his family. I think he just wants to stay strong for Bianca and Sjoerd.
Brutally sad, so well done by all involved. A child's death is the worst thing for parents to face, and I don't know if Edwin's parents can get past it.
I hope Mark that you will keep uploading on YouTube about the Bouwhuis family??!!! I feel sorry for them! How will they handle their grief after the funeral.....
I understand Anton's characters reaction. He couldn't save his own son. Parental grief is very hard. Losing a child can really be the hardest thing you ever go through, even a grave illness of your own doesn't top losing your own child. Fathers and mothers go through it differently. The show is being very true to life. It is going to take Anton's character more time to deal with the loss because of his own self-imposed guilt due to not coming up with a cure quick enough. He must feel that h
@fra4626 No, it isn't strange at all. On the contrary, especially in South Italy it's very common. The only difference compared to the Netherlands is that the dead person is placed in a separate room, such as a living room or a bedroom, where relos and friends can mourn him/her.
So damn sad. My heart is crying, esp for those left behind, Bianca, Lucas, Sjoerd ;_; and I worry so much for Lucas, what grief is gonna make him do!! *sighs*
Same here in Greece, 1 day they spent it in their house for the people around them to mourn them and then it's their funeral day :(
I woke up from a dream and in it Bianca had twins.So somewhere out there is another person who is just like Edwin. I agree about Anton I remember when Edwin broke up with Lucas and Anton told him to go to Lucas and tell him that he loved him, because he saw Edwwin was so miserable. His grief is botteled up and he doesn:t know how to let loose.
It is fairly common in the Netherlands to have the deceased person in the living room, or the area this person lived in. My grand mother who died last year was also put on a sort of wake in the living room...
Anton is putting a bold front and Lucas is behaving destructively, and its not healthy at all, cos it will affect them pyscologically in time to come. Drinking and partying wont solve the problem Lucas, go pay ur last respect to edwin. Bottling ur feeling wont do any good.
In Italy if somebody dies in hospital they must stay at the morgue, where relatives and friends can go see them. If they die at home they can stay home in a coffin (with candles and flowers everywhere!) and relatives and friends will go see them. But, you'd NEVER have a meal so close to the dead person: it would be completely unrespectful. In our way of thinking you can't eat if you're in such a huge pain.
It seems so weird to me that the rest of the family is eating not too far from Ed's body!
Anton's reaction is completely understandable. He finally came to grips with his son's sexuality and accepted him and really began to get to know him..and then that was ripped from him so suddenly. He's in so much pain..you can see the hurt in his eyes.
For Lucas - the pain is also palpable. To have the love of your life ripped from your arms just as he fell back into them..his reaction is so heartbreakingly true to life.
And Bianca - well, she is the strongest of them all - a mother.
You see people laughing and you feel like a 1000 bricks hit you. Your world's falling apart while the rest of the people continue their usual life and you wonder "WHY ME?" That's when the anger starts building up and gets to your throat, giving you that feeling of anxiety and lack of air. So, I totally understand why Lucas is so aggressive towards Anton: he needs somebody to blame for his loss, to yell out his sorrow. I just hope he finds a way to overcome this "Slechte tijden"!
I can see Lucas going through very bad moments... He's in full denial mode, avoiding the reality of the agonizing pain in his heart, drinking and pretending he has everything under control. He wants to be brave "I was prepared for it" and doesn't want anybody's pity! I'm afraid he's going to break down... fall in pieces, unless somebody can get through to him. Seeing Noud and Nina so playful and happy doesn't help at all! I can imagine how Lucas must have felt: like he was suddenly suffocating.
I don'r understand where the writes are going with this! Edwin and Lucas was their best story line. And idk about Europe but my family is from Dominican Republic in the carribean and home viewings are seen depending on the familys wishes. Two of my family members that passed away had home viewings.
They are treating Edwin's death with such dignity in this show. But I... I can't.. -blubbers- I usually don't get this emotional, but my heart is with Lucas and the Bouwhuis family. ;__;
the loss of a child so suddenly can destroy a family. Our neighbors child was killed by a drunk driver coming home from school. Each parent blamed the other until it got bizarre One saturday we heard an unmuffled diesel starting up. The father had rented a bulldozer and was destroying the Italian style garden the wife and son had worked on. Anton, Bianca and Lucas all need grief counseling NOW!
Anton is not being cold-he's shutting down cos the weight of his grief is too much to bear. Bianca on the other hand looks like she's cried all the tears she can and then some... No parent should have to bury their child. I'm worried about Lucas-I actually thought he would be more depressed & Sjoerd would be the angry one. Perhaps Lucas is in the anger phase of the grief cycle now, I'm afraid it's only going to get worse after this.
@Fismaja haha xD well if someone died you can indeed let him stay home before funeral, But most people let the body lie down in his bedroom, not in the living room. And we never saw the bedroom from edwin so i think that's the reason he is lyring in the living room right now. I find it sooo sad for lucas :(
How common are home viewings in Europe? It's really outside my personal experience since home funerals are not common in the US. Lucas isn't all that wrong about Nina, just as much as she is trying to be there for him it does have a component of making herself feel better. The person I feel most for is Bianca. Lucas breaks my heart, but I could never understand the loss of a child(no matter how old). Anton is just too cold for me and it's hard for me to see past that.
And for Anton, he's not being..cold..because he doesn't care, he just doesn't know how to deal with it all, his emotions, the whole situation. He reminds me a bit of my brother, and me at times in situations similar.
Home viewings used to be very common in Denmark, too up till around 40 years ago. Now it usually takes place in chapels placed next to hospitals or grave yards. - It depends a little of where the person died. If a person died at home or in a nursing home viewings still may take place at home now a days.
Ouch! I had always wanted Nina put in her place, but dang! Lucas tore her a new one.

I woke up from a dream and in it Bianca had twins.So somewhere out there is another person who is just like Edwin. I agree about Anton I remember when Edwin broke up with Lucas and Anton told him to go to Lucas and tell him that he loved him, because he saw Edwwin was so miserable. His grief is botteled up and he doesn:t know how to let loose.

It is fairly common in the Netherlands to have the deceased person in the living room, or the area this person lived in. My grand mother who died last year was also put on a sort of wake in the living room...

Anton is putting a bold front and Lucas is behaving destructively, and its not healthy at all, cos it will affect them pyscologically in time to come. Drinking and partying wont solve the problem Lucas, go pay ur last respect to edwin. Bottling ur feeling wont do any good.

In Italy if somebody dies in hospital they must stay at the morgue, where relatives and friends can go see them. If they die at home they can stay home in a coffin (with candles and flowers everywhere!) and relatives and friends will go see them. But, you'd NEVER have a meal so close to the dead person: it would be completely unrespectful. In our way of thinking you can't eat if you're in such a huge pain.
It seems so weird to me that the rest of the family is eating not too far from Ed's body!

Anton's reaction is completely understandable. He finally came to grips with his son's sexuality and accepted him and really began to get to know him..and then that was ripped from him so suddenly. He's in so much pain..you can see the hurt in his eyes.
For Lucas - the pain is also palpable. To have the love of your life ripped from your arms just as he fell back into them..his reaction is so heartbreakingly true to life.
And Bianca - well, she is the strongest of them all - a mother.

You see people laughing and you feel like a 1000 bricks hit you. Your world's falling apart while the rest of the people continue their usual life and you wonder "WHY ME?" That's when the anger starts building up and gets to your throat, giving you that feeling of anxiety and lack of air. So, I totally understand why Lucas is so aggressive towards Anton: he needs somebody to blame for his loss, to yell out his sorrow. I just hope he finds a way to overcome this "Slechte tijden"!
Thanks Mark!

I can see Lucas going through very bad moments... He's in full denial mode, avoiding the reality of the agonizing pain in his heart, drinking and pretending he has everything under control. He wants to be brave "I was prepared for it" and doesn't want anybody's pity! I'm afraid he's going to break down... fall in pieces, unless somebody can get through to him. Seeing Noud and Nina so playful and happy doesn't help at all! I can imagine how Lucas must have felt: like he was suddenly suffocating.

I don'r understand where the writes are going with this! Edwin and Lucas was their best story line. And idk about Europe but my family is from Dominican Republic in the carribean and home viewings are seen depending on the familys wishes. Two of my family members that passed away had home viewings.

They are treating Edwin's death with such dignity in this show. But I... I can't.. -blubbers- I usually don't get this emotional, but my heart is with Lucas and the Bouwhuis family. ;__;

the loss of a child so suddenly can destroy a family. Our neighbors child was killed by a drunk driver coming home from school. Each parent blamed the other until it got bizarre One saturday we heard an unmuffled diesel starting up. The father had rented a bulldozer and was destroying the Italian style garden the wife and son had worked on. Anton, Bianca and Lucas all need grief counseling NOW!

In Ireland it is not uncommon to have the deceased in the house although the practice is not as common as it use to be.

@margroe63 thats was traditional in Ireland too, not everyone has a "wake" now, my aunt did though.

Anton is not being cold-he's shutting down cos the weight of his grief is too much to bear. Bianca on the other hand looks like she's cried all the tears she can and then some... No parent should have to bury their child. I'm worried about Lucas-I actually thought he would be more depressed & Sjoerd would be the angry one. Perhaps Lucas is in the anger phase of the grief cycle now, I'm afraid it's only going to get worse after this.

- "Mmm I first thought about putting a plant in the corner but no.. A dead body is better.."
That is just weird.. I live in Europe and I never heard about that..
But it is a soup and lets face it.. Have we ever seen more rooms in the house then the living room?
But sad that it died, can't believe it really but I hope that Lucas will find somebody hot and cute. =)

@Fismaja haha xD well if someone died you can indeed let him stay home before funeral, But most people let the body lie down in his bedroom, not in the living room. And we never saw the bedroom from edwin so i think that's the reason he is lyring in the living room right now. I find it sooo sad for lucas :(

How common are home viewings in Europe? It's really outside my personal experience since home funerals are not common in the US. Lucas isn't all that wrong about Nina, just as much as she is trying to be there for him it does have a component of making herself feel better. The person I feel most for is Bianca. Lucas breaks my heart, but I could never understand the loss of a child(no matter how old). Anton is just too cold for me and it's hard for me to see past that.

@Ardellro
Yeah, I was wondering about that.
And for Anton, he's not being..cold..because he doesn't care, he just doesn't know how to deal with it all, his emotions, the whole situation. He reminds me a bit of my brother, and me at times in situations similar.
LadyShadowDragon 3 weeks ago
@Ardellro You can't generalize that. In Germany it's not common at all, but in the Nederlands it seems to be not unusual.

@Ardellro
Home viewings used to be very common in Denmark, too up till around 40 years ago. Now it usually takes place in chapels placed next to hospitals or grave yards. - It depends a little of where the person died. If a person died at home or in a nursing home viewings still may take place at home now a days.
