Lily-Rose Bernard, her character, is not shy and is very committed to her work as an investigator. However, she has less success with her love affairs.
During the first season that ended last December, we saw Lily-Rose distance herself from Pascal (Jean-Simon Leduc), who plunged into an obsessive spiral after Sylvain Lanctôt (Louis-Philippe Dandenault) was released from prison. .
“Pascal got closer to Sylvain Lanctôt, the man who killed his father, and he started to lie. I think it kept him and Lily-Rose apart, and it created a chill between them. The relationship became unequal and she felt more like Pascal’s savior, ”Mylène said in an interview with the QMI Agency.
Pascal will try to take charge during the second season which starts this Monday, at 9 p.m., at TVA, but the son of captain Stéphanie Duquette (Sophie Prégent) will see a rival land in the portait.
“There may be a rediscovery between Lily-Rose and Pascal, but at the same time, there is an agent, Manuel Audet, who will arrive because of a new case of Amber Alert which occurs in Chambly », She detailed.
It is Frédéric Millaire Zouvi who plays this policeman from the South Shore of Montreal. We know him for his funny and blundering character in 5e rank, for which he obtained the Gemini for best supporting role in annual drama series in 2021. “He’s a fantastic actor,” Mylène said of his comrade on set.
“Manuel is a guy who has a lot of confidence, who is charismatic. Lily-Rose quickly catches his eye and he lets her know. I think it’s going to be interesting to see Lily-Rose’s tussle with these two men. There is something very easy with Pascal, always, because there is a chemistry, but there is also a disturbing and troubled history between them. At some point, you don’t want to fall back into your old shoes. Manuel is very charming, but Lily-Rose has a rule, and that is to never go out with a work colleague, ”said Mylène, who has notably played in recent years in The blue Hour and Hubert and Fanny.
This is without counting the ambivalent interest shown by his teammate Renaud Magloire (Frédéric Pierre). “They have such a great professional relationship, a great friendship, but Renaud wants to protect Lily-Rose when boys come too close to her. He’s playing protectors and I think she doesn’t hate that either. “
Admiration
Mylène St-Sauveur admires Lily-Rose, whom she describes as a “very straight” and “assertive” young woman. And for a rare time, we are not talking about a character mortgaged by a heavy past.
“It’s nice to play someone who doesn’t have very big problems. She is a woman who is there to help, who works well with others, who has a good sense of justice, she has a good police instinct and who knows where she is going. I think it’s beautiful to see, because Lily-Rose was the junior of the team at the start. We see her more and more with responsibilities, taking cases, it’s “fun” to see her become a good police officer, a good investigator, she evolves at her job. “
Season 2 ofAlerts begins Monday, January 3, at 9 p.m., at TVA.
