Oli P. returns to GZSZ after 27 years
Singer and actor Oliver Petszokat, known as Oli P., is returning to the German soap opera ‘Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten’ (GZSZ) after a 27-year hiatus. He will reprise his former role as Ricky Marquardt in episodes scheduled to air on September 30 and October 1.
In this new appearance, the character has evolved and now works as a registrar (Standesbeamter). His return is tied to a wedding storyline involving characters Philip and Jessica. Petszokat noted that filming in Potsdam-Babelsberg felt both nostalgic and surreal, mentioning that while much has changed, certain studio details like the stairwell railing remained the same.
Petszokat, who originally played the role from 1998 to 1999, expressed excitement about the comeback, describing it as a ‘gaudi.’ While he remains focused on his music career, he managed to clear his schedule to accommodate the filming for the RTL production.
