Since entering Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle, Ophel (Morg Frew) has always been a sunny and sweet character. Initially, the young girl suffered from agoraphobia after being bullied at school and spent her days locked in her house sewing clothes.
Thanks to Aya and her boyfriend at the time, she managed to overcome this fear and gradually started living a normal life.
Sweat changes behavior
However, his fate changed a year ago. Ophelia indeed discovered that she had been switched at birth. A mother who had a stillborn child bribed a nurse to deliver her second child on the same day.
So his mother lied to him for 22 years. After discovering this family secret, he decided to cut ties with Vanessa and live away from the Kepler family.
However, a few weeks ago, she reconnected with her biological family, the Wavins. Obviously, Vanessa Kepler, being the good wolf mom she is, was doing her best to put a spoke in the wheels.
He paid Eric to put drugs in the trunk of one of Vavin’s children. After learning this, Ophelia decided to take revenge and faked a kidnapping in order to get money from her mother. Then she was going to go to Dubai with Hugo, her new boyfriend.
However, his plan was discovered. Unfortunately for him, it all backfired. He was indeed kidnapped by Ophel’s side.
Then viewers discovered a new, much darker side of his personality. He did not hesitate to sacrifice Apollinae to protect himself. And when she discovered that it was Hugo who was organizing everything, she joined him.
However, in this Thursday’s episode, we find out that he killed her in cold blood, then buried her. Suspected of lying by Arrian, she finally confesses everything to Ulysses, then silences her by calling for professional secrecy. This coldness and this manipulative side surprised more than one.
If Morgan Frew justifies this change in behavior by saying that Ofel was often “cheated and bullied”, in AlloCiné, we have other theories.
If Ophel had a hidden twin
We know that the evil twin in soaps is and always will be a classic. It often makes it possible to justify sudden changes in the characters’ behavior.
And this is the site VL media who came up with this hypothesis to explain Ophelia’s behavior. At night, the young woman really got cold and became a countess.
If he treats Apollina badly, he might still get away with it, but if he kills a man without any remorse, it’s a bit like breaking a camel’s back. Finally, we know little about Ophel’s childhood, and especially about this exchange of babies.
Could it be that the family actually has twins and only Ophelia was swapped? The other twin would grow up elsewhere, but would be jealous of the pampered childhood. Then he allegedly kidnapped her and took her place.
A theory that is all the more convincing when we see Ophelia’s behavior towards her brother Ulysses. In the end, the lawyer always supported the sister in all the trials.
And she didn’t know any better about baby swapping. Why did he want to take revenge on him and make him an accomplice in his murder? Why does he treat her the way he does when she’s always been there for him?
In next Tuesday’s episode, he will also meet Apollinaire to find out why his sister has changed completely. And when he learns that he was like this throughout his captivity, he finds it hard to believe. Obviously, this theory is a bit far-fetched, but it doesn’t seem entirely implausible.
If Ophel had a brain tumor
Another twist often used in the series to explain the change in behavior: a brain tumor. It’s a classic of the genre, but it’s unlikely here.
Last year, in December, Leah Nebut found out that she had a brain tumor. Fortunately, he managed to recover from his illness and is now out of danger.
This plot has already been used a while ago, so there is a good chance that the authors will not take this path. But in Plus belle la vie, even plus belle, anything is possible!
If Ophel was just crazy
Even though the change in behavior was extremely drastic, there is always the possibility that Ofel is truly insane and passed out from all the trauma.
During our interview, Morgan Frew explained that Ophel is “A greatly deceived and abused person. It’s like he’s the kid who’s being told he’ll never make it. I think he wants to show that he can do things that no one expects..”
“He’s lied to all his life, loses his uncle, finds his biological family but is rejected, his adoptive mother pays someone to destroy the Wavins…let’s just say he didn’t help.
“It is interesting to me to understand the origin of his evil. Ofel’s behavior did not happen overnight. After that, it is clear that he is a little Manichean in his dealings with things.“So he could have just lost his mind…
And you, what do you think? However, you will have to be patient to discover the outcome of this story.
From next week, the intrigue surrounding Masalia’s residence will take center stage. We hope the authors plan to answer our questions very quickly!
