The news arrived like a cannonball, last May, in Marseille and from Paris. And no one believed it. After 18 years on the air, the series More beautiful life will end next November, on France 3. Behind this decision which surprised an entire team, and the fans of the program, the management of France Télévisions is under fire from critics. And Laurent Kérusoré, interpreter of Thomas Marci in the soap opera does not stop settling his accounts.
“Ms. Ernotte did not even move”
He who suspected that this day would come, since “They’ve been trying to kick us out for eighteen years” he said, to Paris here, is angry with Delphine Ernotte, president of the group.

And for good reason,”there is something very social in Plus belle la vie” he argues. This is why Laurent Kérusoré assumes: “to withdraw a program that helps people, it’s pathetic on the part of a public service channel” .
