Verbotene Liebe
Kiefer joined the cast of the soap opera Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love) in fall 2007 as Sebastian von Lahnstein, nephew of patriarch Johannes von Lahnstein. He first appeared on-screen on 26 November 2007. Soon Sebastian got involved with Lydia Brandner, which became a major love story of the show in 2008. However, reviews of the pairing were mixed. After a one-night stand with Lydia's mother Katja—in true soap style—vixen Olivia Schneider became interested in Sebastian. A triangle between Lydia, Sebastian and Olivia was created which ended with Lydia and Sebastian as the only possible outcome despite chemistry between Olivia and Sebastian. Olivia was played by Kristina Dörfer, who would later become Joscha's wife and mother of his daughter Julie Marie. In 2009, Kiefer decided not to renew his contract with the show and left Verbotene Liebe after two years. The role was recast with actor Sebastian Schlemmer taking the role.
