Erika is coming to our screens tonight on TF1! This successful thriller novelist returns to his hometown after several years of absence. As soon as he arrives, he discovers the lifeless body of his former best friend. He then decides to investigate, even if it means putting himself in danger.
In doing so, she meets Patrick Saab (Gregory Fitus), the police captain in charge of the case, who is not happy about the idea of involving an unknown woman in the investigation. And the least we can say is that Erica’s character is unlikely to leave you indifferent.
Julie de Bona will not tell us the opposite. The actress we interviewed said that she was simply called by Erica Forre: “I really fell in love with this character because she is very human, very sunny, very fragile, and at the same time, she has a great need for love.”
“I couldn’t see myself turning down such an irresistible character”
“He’s funny because he’s passionate. He gets involved in investigations, he has a need for the truth that’s quite comical. I loved him right away! I couldn’t see myself turning down this project, such an incredible character.”
It must be said that the young woman is as cute as a bug: “He is not an aggressive character and this is not an aggressive story. Unbelievable things will happen to him that will make us love him more and more. When I read the script, I said to myself, “But wait, we’re really attached like he’s our best friend, finding him on his adventure will be irresistible.”
But then, does the actor have anything in common with Erica? “JI don’t know if it was me who gave him a part of my personality or if it was him who came to me, but there was a meeting that was quite obvious actually. Although he is definitely a different person than me, we met. There was a fusion between Erica and me.
Also, when we talk about Erika’s nostalgic and childlike side, Julie de Bona confirms that this is a real dimension of the character: “You put your finger on something that drives us both apart, I’ve used a lot of both the woman-child and love needs to always be in physical contact with people.”
“He’s an injured grandson.”
He continues: “Erika, she’s a really wounded little girl. She’s a total child woman, and that’s what’s so attractive about her. We want to love her for it, we want to protect her. But she’s having a hard time committing, she’s really a teenager. Fact.” And I recommend you not to miss the next episodesErika which promise to be full of twists and turns.
