Reborn After 18 Years: "Everything Counts," Uncovering the Passion and Chaos Behind "All That Matters"
Get ready to relive the magic as the legendary RTL series, "All That Matters," celebrates its 18-year comeback, streaming early from August 30th to September 6th on RTL+. This series has seen it all – from mesmerizing performances to explosive moments behind the scenes.
Blood, Sweat, and More
The makeup department has been the unsung hero in the series’ 18-year run, working tirelessly to create the perfect look with some mind-blowing stats: 372,800 cotton swabs, 85,500 hair clips, and 12,090 lipsticks are just a few of the items used. But here's the biggest shocker – over four decades' worth of fake blood! Yep, you heard that right – 42 gallons of the stuff!
The Green (and not-so-green) Actors
Wondering about the cast's culinary preferences? Seems like none of them follow a vegan lifestyle, but five actors are vegetarian. Quite the intriguing balance, wouldn't you agree?
Other Fun Facts
- The heaviest prop? Casper's body bag. The lightest? A single feather. What a contrast, eh?
- The tiniest items used were the diamonds once smuggled on set, making for a quite the mini heist scenario.
- Susanne Schlenzig delivered the first words ever spoken on the show back in 2006 – "Diana!"
- With a record-breaking 2,260 shooting days under his belt, Igor Dolgatschew has truly earned his applause.
- A staggering 59,256 scenes have been filmed in 18 years, with 22,680 of them shot in Cologne.
The juicy Gossip
Backstage, relationships have crumbled, and new ones have bloomed, amidst the usual drama and romantic entanglements. But let's get to the good stuff – the parties! In total, there have been 216 poolside parties, but guess what? 21 of those were far from your typical family hangouts. Oh, the scandals!
Stars who'll make a comeback
During the anniversary week, fans will get to see familiar faces back on TV! Nic Shanker, "First Dates" bartender, will host a reality show where Henning competes for a €10,000 prize. Nathalie Reichenbach, who left Essen, will also make her return, much to Yannick's delight.
