From Essen we go to Milan Farewell to EEZ! THESE stars say goodbye
You dare to make a new beginning!
In “Everything that counts” there is an emotional farewell: Valea (Antonia Kolano) and Emma Mayer (Luisa Binger) turn their backs on Germany and take the step together into an uncertain future. After turbulent times, the two return to Milan – a place that not only promises new opportunities, but also represents a piece of home. You can already see how they leave Essen in our spoiler video.
There is no longer any prospects for Valea in Essen
The decision is not easy for both of them, but circumstances leave them little choice: For that Valea As figure skaters in Germany currently no longer have any prospects, they are looking forward – together as mother and daughter. “We'll build something new, no matter where. I'll come with you everywhere”might Emma clearly and shows how strong the connection between the two is.
Despite all the doubts, hope remains: Milan could be exactly the place where their dreams come true. The farewell is particularly emotional for Valea, who originally planned her big breakthrough as a figure skater in Essen. But Emma makes it clear: “Your breakthrough will come. I’m absolutely sure of it.”

Antonia Kolano gained her first professional experience at AWZ
Even behind the scenes, Antonia Kolano and Luisa Binger look back on their time at AWZ with a lot of gratitude. Cologne and the set of the series have become a special place for both of them. While Luisa raves about the AWZ family, Valea emphasizes how much she influenced the time: from teenager straight into working life. This experience made her significantly more mature.
Now it's time to say goodbye and look forward. With one last optimistic look into the future, the two roles say goodbye: “Something new is waiting for us. We can do it.” And maybe a little consolation will help, because in Milan, they both agree, not only is the weather better, but also the coffee.
