This Monday, October 3, a page was turned in More beautiful life. Roland’s character is deceased. Laurent Kérusoré, who plays his son on the air, returns to this upheaval.
“He was the emblem, the patriarch“, underlines Laurent Kérusoré. This Monday, October 3, it is therefore a page of More beautiful life which closes. In the episode broadcast today, Roland Marci died suddenly, in the middle of a family reunion. A drama for the faithful viewers of the France 3 soap opera but also a nice way to close the loop as the series comes to an end – the final episode will indeed be broadcast on November 18th. “I’m not pro enough to know, but I think that indeed maybe that’s it too”confides to us the one who embodies the son of Roland, Thomas Marci since the beginning of More beautiful life. And to estimate:Michael [Cordes, l’interprète de Roland, ndlr] gave us a happy ending saying he wanted to quit. Since all of a sudden, it was well linked between his desire to leave and the fact that the end is coming.“
So of course”killing the patriarch created” a kind of emulation and is a vector of emotions. “We had to unite everyone for the end“, judge Joakim Latzko, alias Gabriel Riva, the husband of Thomas. Between mourning, emotion and reunion, the screenwriters would not have Couldn’t have dreamed of a better way to put an end to this soap opera. And the least we can say is that the actors are upset. “It’s a huge emotional charge“, Laurent Kérusoré confides to us, while Joakim Latzko admits that the shootings were “a bit special” while each other was doing their final farewell to a part of their life. “It is complicated. We have the notion of stopping, of course. We knew the series was going to end. We were going to say goodbye. But the emotional charge, I think no one realized what it was going to be“, continues Laurent Kérusoré.
That day when Laurent Kérusoré “burst into tears in [sa] hotel room”
The actor even admits to having been delighted to be one of the last to leave the set. “When the production told me that we were going to close the shop with Joakim, we were quite happy to be in the last sequence“, he confirms. Except that by observing a succession of departures, Laurent Kérusoré has changed his mind. “I would have preferred to say goodbye to everyone“, he admits, rather than seeing the others leave. And for good reason, it was difficult to live for the person concerned. So when he hassay goodbye to seven people“the same day, Laurent Kérusoré needed to slip away to”burst into tears in [sa] hotel room“. However, the actor was able to count on the support and presence of one of his colleagues, Annie Grégorio who, noticing his distress was a great help to him to evacuate his pain. “Luckily Annie Grégorio was there and said to me: ‘I’m coming, we’ll have a little aperitif, it’ll relax you’“, he tells us. And that’s without mentioning his poignant farewell to Bryan Trésor, who played his son. “I started crying, of course. It’s a huge emotional charge. No one can gauge this load“, adds Laurent Kérusoré. It’s the end of an era.
