It’s time to say goodbye to one of Alex Hugo’s most emblematic figures.
After Marilyn Canto, whose last episode aired last week, Jeria Lionel Astier, aka Angelo Batala, will leave the France 3 series this Tuesday, April 4, at the end of a new episode offered at 9:10 p.m.
In the final moments of this new investigation, titled “The Last Trail,” which opens Season 9 of Alex Hugo, Angela announces to Alex (Samuel Le Bihan) and Tony (Fabien Bayard) that she is forced to resign and say goodbye to the police.
A very sober ending that leaves the door open for Angelo’s possible return one day, but for now, in any case, closes an important chapter in Alex Hugo’s history.
“It’s normal. They’re adventurous as actors. They want to do something where they’re the lead, with more central roles.”Recently confided to our microphone Samuel Le Bihan about the departure of Marilyn Canto and Lionel Astier, whom he understands perfectly. “It’s perfectly normal. That’s all I can understand, though it’s obvious to see them go.”.

“Lionel not being in the episode is very annoying”
The actor, who will soon be reprising his role in a biopic of navigator Yves Parlier for France Télévisions, admits, however, that the departure of Angelo the translator, with whom he filmed twenty episodes over nine years, was particularly difficult. let’s live And that his absence was strongly felt on the set of the series.
“We created this series with Lionel. So not having Lionel in the episode is very disturbing”says Samuel Le Bihan, referring to the upcoming episodes of Alex Hugo, which were filmed last year without Lionel Astier.
“When we shot our first episode without him last year, it really upset me. I was very destabilized. When Lionel left, it was definitely very exciting, especially since the episode was written specifically for him to leave.”.
“And then it is primarily a feeling of a bygone era”The one who has been carrying Alex Hugo on his shoulders since 2014 continues. “It’s a moment in life, we look back on all the good times we’ve had and then the page turns. It’s not trivial. I’m quite sensitive to that, to time, to the passage of time. I’m a bit nostalgic. So the fact that “Lionel is leaving, it’s obviously very worrying.”.
Anyway, Samuel Le Bihan has very fond memories of the last episode filmed with Lionel Astaire by his side, which airs on France 3 tonight. The one time they reunited on the roof of the police station was indeed the last scene they shot together.
“It was really our last scene together. It was a very emotional day and a lot of laughs at the same time. We fought a lot, it was really nice.”. A perfect way to say goodbye to the character of Angelo Batala after so many years of good and loyal service.
