Big news: Victoria Abril will soon be coming to Tomorrow belongs to us. The 62-year-old actress will give the answer to Ingrid Chauvin, Alexandre Brasseur or Ariane Séguillon. She will play Rebecca Flores, whom she presents in the columns of TV 7 Days like “a diva on the decline who returns to France to recover, at all costs, her daughter Raphaëlle“, camped by Jennifer Lauret and which she abandoned thirty years ago”for good and bad reasons“.
Victoria Abril has signed for twenty episodes in the hit TF1 series. And the least we can say is that when he arrived in Sète, the filming pace was more than intense! “It is true that we go five times faster than for another series. I shot twenty episodes in four weeks and I thought I was dying of fatigue, physical and mental, she admits. This represents sixty hours of work per week, sixty pages of dialogue to memorize the weekend for the following week …“A crazy look that the actors of Tomorrow belongs to us stick to the year! “I take my hat off to the teams. I don’t know how they’ve managed to keep up with this pace for four years, launches Victoria Abril, who left the series Clem. 250 episodes per year, do you realize? This is madness !“
Despite the frantic pace, the Spanish actress and singer “did not hesitate for a second“to accept the producers’ proposal.”At the end of June, I stopped what I was doing in Spain to devote myself body and soul to the creation of Rebecca Flores. I’m her first fan, I love everything about her: her freedom, her brotherhood, her principles …“, she assures. Moreover, Victoria Abril experiences”more than sympathy, admiration“for this character.”It is everything and its opposite, rain and sun at the same time. Now that the shooting is done, I have a shot of rifle blues. I miss Rebecca terribly, she confesses. I hope the public will appreciate it and demand its return.“Confidences which then leave the door open to other possible episodes with Rebecca Flores in the future … To be continued!
