Meike Breuer

Meike Breuer (née Wittkamp) is a fictional character of the German soap opera Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love). The character was played by Nova Meierhenrich from June 9, 2006 to August 30, 2006.^[1]

Meike is the younger sister of Tanja von Anstetten. Tanja hasn't been in contact with her family for years and is not happy, when Meike comes to Düsseldorf. But when Tanja sees that she could use Meike to get in contact with her son Hannes, Tanja tries to be extremely nice to her sister. Hannes is living with Tanja's ex Ansgar von Lahnstein. The timing couldn't be better, when Meike takes the job offer to be the new nanny of Hannes. This way she can let Tanja see the little boy whenever he wants. But even through Meike's intentions are pure, it doesn't take long until she's caught up in Ansgar and Tanja's games with each other. Ansgar finds out that Meike is Tanja's sister and wants to win her for his side, when the custody battle comes up. He tells Meike that he's real feelings for her - even proposes to Meike. When the custody trial comes up, Ansgar outs Meike as Tanja's sister and Tanja fears to lose the fight over her son. In the end, Meike is hurt by Ansgar's betrayal and kidnaps Hannes, believing that Tanja and Ansgar don't deserve him. Nathalie Käppler tries to get to Meike and gets her into giving up and returning Hannes to his parents, before she's about to kill him. After this Meike is brought in a psychiatric institution. It's mentioned in 2008 by her mother Annegret that she is still in psychiatric care. When Ansgar tries in December 2009 to drug Tanja with hallucinogens and wants her put away into a mental hospital, once again it's been confirmed that after more than three years, Meike still wasn't released.
