Storylines

In the beginning, Judith finds herself in love with Fabian Brandner (Shai Hoffmann), but her feelings for him seem to be unrequited, when she finds out that he slept with Lisa (Lilli Hollunder). But Fabian has developed feelings for Judith too and didn't take his short encounter with Lisa serious. But Lisa does and tries to plot and scheme between Fabian and Judith, so she can have him for her own. When Judith finds out, that Fabian slept with Lisa, but doesn't want anything to do with her, she is very disappointed in him and believes that he only uses women. Meanwhile, Constantin von Lahnstein (Milan Marcus) gets interested in Judith. But when he discovers that Judith only can't be together with Fabian because of Lisa's schemes, he tells Judith the truth. Judith finds herself in the middle, when she is confronted with her flirtation to Constantin and her still deep feelings for Fabian. She finally works things out with Fabian and they come together. But their relationship isn't easy from the beginning. Lisa still tries to destroy their love and when Lisa is finally out of their way, Judith witnesses a call between Fabian's mother Katja (Diana Frank) and her best friend Elisabeth (Martina Servatius), where Katja mentions her one-night stand with Sebastian von Lahnstein (Joscha Kiefer), the boyfriend of her daughter Lydia (Theresa Underberg). When Katja realizes that Judith knows about the night with Sebastian, she can convince her to stay quiet and not destroy her family. Things get more complicated when Katja gets pregnant and Sebastian could be the father. Katja finally needs to open up to her family. Fabian is outraged with his mother and gets the shock of his life, when he finds out that Judith knew about Katja's unfaithfulness. He takes distance from Judith and finally breaks up with her.

Judith is very upset over the end of her relationship to Fabian and is happy to have Constantin as a good friend. He spends a lot of time with Judith and can finally give her the happiness in her life back. But soon, Constantin realizes that he still has feelings for her and hopes that they finally might get their chance. But when Judith meets a mysterious young man, she falls in love with him. Constantin is sad, that Judith again find love somewhere else. But things get more complicated for Judith when the mysterious man turns out to be Fabian's brother David (Sven Koller). Judith is conflicted at first about the relation to her ex-boyfriend, but is then fine with it. But David only sees Judith as a good friend and no matter what she does, David doesn't fall for her.

She tells Constantin about her lovesickness and doesn't guess about his feelings for her. Instead, Constantin tries to be a good friend and help her to get over David. But Judith tries the opposite and wants to make herself to David's dream girl. Constantin tells her over and over again, that she shouldn't do that for anyone and just be herself. When Judith finally realizes that Constantin feels more for her than just friends, she confronts him. Constantin confesses his love for her and also that he well knows she doesn't feel the same thing for him. After that, the friendship between them gets very complicated. Constantin builds a distance between him and Judith and tries to get over her. Meanwhile, Judith misses her friend and realizes that her feelings for David are gone. Instead, she feels that Constantin means more to her than she thought. But when Judith tells him how she feels, Constantin can't believe her anymore after all the love drama that happened in her life. Judith tries several times to prove Constantin that her feelings for him are honest, but nothing seem to work. Instead, Constantin applies for a journalist school in London. Judith is shocked when she finds out that Constantin is accepted and assumes to go. She tries to prove for the last time her love to him and it comes to a heartbreaking goodbye on the airport. She gives him a kiss, before Constantin takes off.

After Constantin left, Judith hides in the background. She takes care of her friends problems and goes to Spain - in order by Brander Bau - for a while. A while after she's back, Constantin returns on a family matter. When Judith finds out that Constantin is in town, she gets all nervous and doesn't know where they stand after all this time. When they meet each other, Constantin shocks Judith with the confession that he has a girlfriend in London and that they would be better of as friends. But later Constantin visits her to say goodbye before returning to London. He can't hide his feelings and the two end up sleeping together. After that, he tells Judith that he lied and that he hasn't a girlfriend waiting for him. He was just afraid, knowing that the two would have no future with Constantin in England. Judith then admits to Olli (Jo Weil) that she's over Constantin and agrees with him to be just friends. But they both can't stop thinking about each other. Constantin spends Judith a surprise visit, where he asks her if she missed him. Judith confesses that she was just thinking about him. He doesn't know if that's enough, but he asks her to come with him to London anyway. Judith is happy, kisses Constantin and agrees to go with him. They just pack one bag, before saying goodbye to Olli and Christian and leaving Düsseldorf.

When Constantin came back, he told his friends that he and Judith had recently broken up.
