“A heartbreak”: Death of a character in Plus belle la vie, a screenwriter justifies this choice

On November 18, the grand finale of More beautiful life will be broadcast on France 3. A finale that promises to be “incredible” in view of the first information in order to best celebrate the cult and popular show which has lived eighteen beautiful and long years.

Emotion, it will necessarily be a question, and even well before the final episode. And for good reason, an essential character present from the very beginning will die very soon. It is Roland Marc (played by Michel Cordes). The latter will therefore not participate in the farewell of the series and a screenwriter, Pauline Rocafull, explains this somewhat during an interview for captaincinemaxx.

I salute the immense actor that is Michael Cordes. He was a pillar of the soap opera, a real dad. We can say it, it was the patriarchal figure at the same time on the turning and of the series. Over the years, we have worked on it a lot, twisted it and put it in untenable situations with François, Thomas or Kilian. Roland’s image is superimposed with the Mistral, which itself is superimposed on the soap opera More beautiful life. We couldn’t end the series leaving it hanging. But there was a kind of logic in making this character die, even if it’s heartbreaking“, she announced. Pauline Rocafull still wants to reassure: “However, don’t worry, he will have what is called a ‘beautiful death“. The disappearance of Roland Marci is expected in the coming weeks…

However, fans of the series more or less expected this new shock. A few days ago, a photo of the most intriguing made the rounds of the Web. On the image, a black and white portrait of Roland Marc appeared on a table in the Mistral bar in the manner ofa tribute or maybe even a funeral. In addition, a fan account explained that the Marci clan had been for several days”dressed in black suits and dark outfits“.
