“Good times: These series stars were in “Playboy”

The “GZSZ” actresses are popular cover girls in “Playboy”. In the current issue, Gisa Zach (50), who plays the wife of Jo Gerner (Wolfgang Bahro, 63) in the RTL series, poses naked for the men’s magazine. In doing so, she follows in the footsteps of numerous series colleagues. The “GZSZ” stars Nina Bott (46), Ulrike Frank (55) and Sila Sahin-Radlinger (38) have also presented themselves uncovered.

Sandra Keller started

The first actress from “Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten” to strip naked for “Playboy” was Sandra Keller (50). She played Tina Zimmermann in the long-running series from 1992 to 1996. The naked photos caused quite a stir in 1996 – which is probably why it took five years before another “GZSZ” star dropped her clothes. Keller was followed in 2001 by Saskia Valencia (59). She took on the role of journalist Saskia Rother from 1993 to 1996 and became a favorite with viewers.

In the same year, Mariella Ahrens (55) beamed from the cover of the magazine. In 1995, she played Jo Gerner’s lover in “GZSZ”. The second nude shoot followed in 2004 – even at over 50 years of age, Ahrens is not averse to another appearance in the magazine.

Nina Bott stripped three times

Nina Bott undressed even more often than Mariella Ahrens: she was seen three times, in 2002, 2012 and 2017. “I wouldn’t say that I’m used to it now. But it’s not like I could hardly sleep the night before,” joked the actress, who played Cora Hinze from 1997 to 2005, in the accompanying interview.

Sila Sahin-Radlinger made a statement with cover

In 2011, it was Sila Sahin-Radlinger’s turn to pose for the cover. “With these photos, I want to show young Turkish women that it’s okay to live as you are. That it’s not cheap to show skin,” she said after the first “Playboy” shoot of a Turkish woman.

From 2009 to 2014, Sahin-Radlinger played Ayla Höfer on “GZSZ”. There she naturally met Katrin Flemming, who has been played by Ulrike Frank since 2002 and is considered a strict contemporary. Fans were all the more surprised in 2014 when Frank also stripped off for the magazine.

Isabell Horn (40), who celebrated her breakthrough in the series as Pia Koch, appeared naked in “Playboy” in 2015. In 2020, Franziska van der Heide (32) followed suit. She played Mieke “Mieze” Lutze for two years and raved about the shoot as a “totally exciting experience”. A year later, Simone Hanselmann (44) decided to take the step. The actress, who played model Anna Meiser in the Daily from 1998 to 1999, had initially turned down the nude magazine’s request 20 years earlier.

Before the current cover girl Gisa Zach, Iris Mareike Steen (32) was the last “GZSZ” actress in “Playboy”. The recordings in Hamburg in 2022 were the second nude shoot for her, as she had already appeared in the magazine in 2015. “I have become more self-confident and more relaxed in some respects,” she said happily in the magazine about her second “Playboy” adventure.
