After five years spent in Un si grand soleil, an emblematic character leaves the daily soap opera of France 2!
A chapter is closing in Un si grand soleil!
Present since the launch of the series in 2018, Fred Bianconi, the interpreter of Virgile Berville, announced his departure from the daily soap opera of France 2.
It’s in the columns of the magazine TV Star that the actor returned to the reasons that led him to leave. “For a year and a half, I could see that the authors were struggling to find ideas for Virgile. They had already made him experience robbery, mourning, freaking out, professional retraining, descent into hell…“, he explains before adding:
“Better give him a break. This was decided by mutual agreement. Leaving Virgil saddens me but I prefer that to frustration.“.
Fortunately, it doesn’t seem to be definitive, as the actor confides: “Say I love him too much to tell me he won’t come back“.
If the departure of Fred Bianconi promises to be heartbreaking for the faithful of Un si grand soleil, it has been difficult for his playing partners.It shocked everyone, especially since between the decision and the last clap, only two months passed! They all thought they could be next“.
From these five years spent on Un si grand soleil, Fred Bianconi will only retain good things. “I lived exceptional moments, met great people whose Marthe Fieschi. When the production decided to kill Léa, it was hard to take, but it was the hardest thing I had to play in my entire career.“.
It was therefore on July 12 that the actor said goodbye to Virgile Berville for an indefinite period. A particularly moving moment for him. “We were shooting a rock climbing scene with Moses Santamaria And Chris Nahon to realization. I was extremely moved, I could not speak.“
While waiting to see him again one day in Un si grand soleil, Fred Bianconi does not neglect the small screen. “I shot season 2 of Sophie Crossan episode of Cassandra, the show “Les Darons dare everything” is going on tour again. In October, I start Black Widow, a series with Odile Vuillemin on France 2. Afterwards, it’s a bit dizzying but I’m confident“, assures the actor.
It remains to be seen what fate will be reserved for his character during the next episodes of the program. It must be said that the troubles have only just begun for Virgil who is likely to find himself “in trouble because of tom” if we are to believe the official synopses released by the channel.
As he is about to marry Alix (Nadia Fossier), he risks seeing his destiny change in the sequel to Un si grand soleil. This is enough to announce a particularly eventful return to school!
