This is where it all begins: Why wasn’t Celia in a double marriage? The producer answers

Greg and Elliott, as well as Mehdi and Hortense, finally said yes to Here It All Begins this Friday on TF1, during a special episode that marked the departure of Nicolas Anselmo and Mikael Mittelstadt after three years on the series.

This double marriage, with translator Greg commenting on the most important moments for us, allowed the writers of Here to bring back many of the secondary characters seen during the first three seasons.

From Greg DeLobel (Joseph Malerba) to his wife Delphine (Christel Rembe), through Eliot’s parents, played by Valerie Baurens and Jean Fornero, or Hortense’s father, Daniel Rochemont (Pierre Azema).

However, an important character was missing from this “Best Friends Forever” storyline: Celia (Rebecca Benhamour), Elliot and Hortense’s (Katherine Davydzenka) best friend, who wasn’t even mentioned during the double marriage episode. .

Why didn’t Rebecca Benham return to the wedding series?

When asked about the absence of an actor recently seen in Léo Matteï on TF1, producer Sarah Farahmand explained that the screenwriters were faced with a real concern for space, in a story that tells about the marriage of the four central figures of the series. , and which saw many of their family members return.

“It was a double wedding, we had four characters getting married who weren’t secondary characters in the series. We only had 26 minutes to process it all. We saw that they had families, there were already a lot of people, so it was a real concern in the space.”He admits that everything starts here with the producer.

Of course, the producer and TF1 could have invited Rebecca Benhamour to attend the wedding in the July 14 episode as a simple wink, but Sara Farrahmandi explains that it would be disappointing for everyone. The world and that Celia’s return is a real topic that deserves to be fully discussed on the day of its materialization.

“If Celia does come back for her best friends wedding, that’s a topic. We have to deal with it. She can’t just come back to hand out the bouquet. That would be very disappointing for everyone. We can.” Let’s not bring Rebecca back if we don’t have anything to play for her. So we made the choice to say to ourselves, “We already have four characters getting married, we need to focus on them first.”.

While waiting to find Celia, perhaps one day in Calvières, fans of Rebecca Benhamour will soon be able to find her in the Brocéliande series, in which she portrays a young version of the heroine played by Nolven Leroy. But also in the feature film Spy School, which is currently being shot for France 2 with Pascal Elbe, Thierry Godard, Joaquim Fosse (Tomorrow Belongs to Us) or Aymeric Fougeron (Prometheus).

The story of a group of young people – Zana, Ines, Alex, Francois, Pierre – who have recently joined a spy school to learn the strategy and practice of espionage, the history of international intelligence, the handling of weapons, the mastery of. modern technologies. A difficult apprenticeship interrupted by a violent foreign service invasion of the school.
