Enjoy them, because the 12 episodes of All the life who will take over the air after the holidays will be the last, the last, the last, I learned. The Radio-Canada soap opera will not return in September, the author Danielle Trottier considering that she has covered the subject of teenage motherhood.
“I will end with a feeling of pride. I’m really happy to have been able to talk about young pregnant women in an annual series. I didn’t want to skimp on the dramatic intensity. I wanted to write a series where we were in a hurry to live and get to the end of things. But I felt like I had said everything I had to say about this situation in 72 episodes, ”says Danielle Trottier, joined Monday in Uruguay, where she lives and writes part of the year.
With its 1,124,000 followers on Tuesday evenings, All the life will therefore depart in full glory. The soap opera will have lasted three full seasons when the Marie-Labrecque school will definitively close its doors at the end of March 2022. The previous work of Danielle Trottier, Unit 9, had been on the air for seven years.
The shooting of the last shot of All the life will take place on Friday. Never short of original ideas, Danielle Trottier is working on her new soap opera, which is scheduled for Radio-Canada’s 2022-2023 schedule, confirms the boss of public television dramas, André Béraud. The subject remains confidential, but the director of All the life, Jean-Philippe Duval, is already attached to it.
“I agreed with Danielle’s decision. There are stories that are written in 10 episodes, over two years or over five years, ”says the producer of All the life, Fabienne Larouche, from Aetios.

Danielle Trottier took a liking to the faster pace she breathed into All the life. “I got to the heart of it quickly and viewers followed us. I liked that my stories were galloping. I want to continue like this. Let’s give viewers their money’s worth. I want them to completely forget about their life when they sit down with us for an hour, ”says Danielle Trottier, very active on Twitter on the evenings of the broadcast. All the life.
After a first year of groping, All the life stepped on the accelerator and never released it. The current season is full of twists and turns, poignant moments and scenes worn by actors and actresses at their peak. It is one of the best soap operas, all networks combined.
Over the years, the choice of actresses who played the pregnant students of Marie-Labrecque has been made with great skill and flair. Several of them, including Naïla Louidort (The flaw 2, Chaos), then continued their careers in other competing shows.

Marguerite Bouchard plays the role of Daphné.
“It was great to see that these women came from all specters of society,” adds Radio-Canada television director general Dany Meloul.
The last 12 episodes of All the life will retain this high emotional charge, promises Danielle Trottier. ” All the life has been of age in my life as an author. In the last block, I want to honor the courage of these young women and their extraordinary sense of survival, ”she says.
Radio-Canada’s fall schedule will change completely with the disappearance of All the life, ofAnother story and of Sleepless night, the disconnection of which still enrages its 846,000 faithful.
The online petition to save the soap de luxe had been signed by nearly 19,000 people, at the time of this writing. Complaints flow into Radio-Canada’s audience service and they also bounce back in my inbox. Fans of Sleepless night see black.
And I understand them so much. It is extremely annoying to invest for 12 weeks in a series that will never reveal all its secrets.
In the plan proposed to Radio-Canada, screenwriter Julie Hivon (Alerts) had planned his soapy family saga over a dramatic three-year arc.
The shooting of the second season – already all written – was even to start in March 2022 to stretch until November. But there. Radio-Canada has decided not to purchase a third season of Sleepless night to Pixcom producers. Result ? It was necessary to rewrite in disaster the second season in order to complete all the intrigues and offer a real end to the addicts.
Julie Hivon’s proposed revamp deadline was far too short, and it was impossible for her to compress two seasons into one. The plogue was therefore pulled. that’s why Sleepless night concluded Monday evening with many questions outstanding.
As for Radio-Canada, despite popular discontent, there was no question of changing your mind and bringing back Sleepless night on the small screen. “We understand the disappointment of fans of the show, but we won’t comment further on it. Everything has been said, ”pleads the public broadcaster.
Everything has been said, except the name of Lucas’s father (Jean-Philippe Perras), the identity of the Masque’s accomplice in the murder of Loulou Hébert (France Castel) and a bunch of other unresolved stuff. What a pity, what an unsatisfactory final.
