The show Mallorca – Suche nach dem Paradies premiered in April 1999 with Ulrike Frank being an original cast member.

Julia Breuer, Frank's character, choose Majorca to start over and create a life for her as a woman.

In 2000, Frank was approached by RTL for the role of Tina Zimmermann in their new primetime soap opera Großstadtträume.

The role was on a recurring basis and after appearing on 30 December 2002, Frank left the programme once again on 11 April 2003; finishing filming in late February.

However, the role was well received by viewers and after the show had to fill the void of a female antagonist, Frank was brought back the following year with reappearing on-screen on 5 April 2004.
