Here’s where it all starts: Will Chef Cardone (Alexandra Vandernoot) go after Ethan (Rick Cleve)?

One departure leading to another? last week Everything starts hereEthan (Rick Cleve) announces his retirement from the Institute at the end of the “Pastry Days” he participated in, much to the surprise of Teissier (Benjamin Barochet) and much to his mother’s dismay.

End up clapping your son for studying at the Kardon Institute

A sad and unexpected decision for fans of the TF1 daily soap opera, but a carefully considered choice for the character, both disgusted by the kitchen for several months, which he continued for the wrong reasons and tired. Repeated interference in his case. Life from a mother, always ready for the worst abuse to promote her interests and her son’s future career as a leader, to the detriment of everything else.

That departure, arguably crucial for character interpreter Rick Cleve, came into effect on Monday, February 12, with a farewell party that confirmed the reconciliation between Ethan, his ex Maya (Alexandra Faval) and their friend Leonard (Thomas Villani).

Since then, several interactions at the institute have revealed that Ethan has left for the moment to spend some quality time with his best friend Axel (Thomas da Costa), who, you may recall, has also left the prestigious school’s kitchen. Last summer, in this case, he became the head chef of the restaurant, which was left to him by his biological father, Auguste Armand (Francis Haster).

Chef Cardoni is sticking around, no matter what!

However, the question remains among believersEverything starts here : What will happen to Annabelle (Alexandra Vandernut)? Indeed, now that his son is no longer one of the institute’s students, it’s hard to imagine what might lead him to set foot there…

If…! Our colleague from Télé-Loisirs asked about this topic this Tuesday, February 13TF1 has assured that the actor is also not leaving the daily series.

As the director of another great French cooking school, and especially as the former mentor of the director of the institute, Chef Cardone should return from time to time, as he already does, to try to destabilize Tayce, perhaps because of new competition. Or a new culinary event hosted by an institute. The great leader of the North has not said the last word!

Here’s where it all starts, you can tune in Monday to Friday at 6.30pm on TF1 and preview or repetition on TF1+.
