Un Si Grand Soleil: “Eve Hesitating” … Emma Colbert admits Elliott’s death

In Un si grand soleil, nothing will be the same again!

On October 24, Eliot (Stephane Monpet) was killed by a bullet to the heart.

“Olivier Schulzinger (creator and director of the series, editor’s note) called me and said that they had run out of ideas for this character and the decision had been made to kill him off. My first reaction was confusion, but I quickly recognized that Elliot and I were going in a bit of a circle.“- explains Stéphane Montpet in a column for Télé Poche magazine, which was published on newsstands this week.

“He’s going to rock.”

If Elliott’s death saddened more than one viewer, it also promises to change Eva’s (Emma Colbert) life forever.

“She is resilient and moves forward with pain and scars. He is shaken, but has Thomas, his grandson. It is the only thing that now connects him to Eliot“, confides the actor.

As for how Elliott’s death will affect the couple with Manus (Moses Santamaria), Emma Colbert points out: “He needs a scapegoat and he falls to Manu. He knows he can do it because he is a strong man. So she takes it to him. It’s embarrassing, but it’s an expression of his pain. He only needs sadness. A question of pride. I see it as a wounded animal licking its wounds“.

and added, “Losing a child is an unpleasant pain that fortunately I do not know. I could not rely on sensory emotions, even though, like everyone else, I experienced painful anxiety. So when Manu comes to tell Eve that Elliot is dead, I played it like a jump into the void without a parachute. I didn’t know what would happen. I simply put myself in Eve’s shoes and let the primal mother instincts express themselves. I was afraid because it’s an emotion that I can’t convey so intensely. I asked the director to have everything in place so that I would not have to repeat it due to a technical problem. We all did a good job“.

How will Eve react when she learns the identity of her son’s killer? If he hasn’t shot that crucial scene yet, the actor can’t wait to be there.

he says, “I hope I get to film her one day, because it should be very interesting to see what she does with all this anger and the sense of betrayal she must feel towards Charles, Muriel and Boris, who all hid something from her…“.

This is what piques our curiosity!
