A better life, it’s almost over. To kick off the series finale, which will take place on November 18th, the writers made the bold choice to kill off one of Mistral’s symbols. In this Monday night’s episode, viewers actually witnessed the death of Roland Marc (Michel Cordes), an iconic character of the series that has been around since its 2004 release.
In this final touching scene, the entire Mars clan finally reunites at the Mistral Bar to celebrate Lola (Marie Malia) and Killian’s (Tim Russo) birthday. A reunion placed under the banner of reconciliation, much to the joy of Roland, who sees that everyone close to his heart has finally made peace.
He then decides to play soccer with Matty, his grandson. All seems to be going well, however, as Roland collapses on the Place du Mistral, the victim of a heart attack. A tragic and touching scene that certainly didn’t go down well with netizens who were there last night to say goodbye to the patriarch of the March Clan.
“Roland’s death is really scary, I’ve never cried so much in front of a scene! I still shudder at the impression that Roland was a member of my family“, “It’s very difficult in terms of emotions, the writers went all out“- fans of the series write on Twitter.
Some even saw Roland’s death as a symbol of the end of Plus belle la vie, while others applauded the audacity of the screenwriters to kill off an iconic character just months before the curtain fell.
If Roland’s death affected many Internet users, some fans still condemned the decision to kill off one of the main characters just weeks before the end of Plus belle la vie.
“#PBLV ends in two months after 18 years, and the writers couldn’t think of anything better than to kill Roland Mark’s column in front of his entire family. Only two months were left. He could live on fishing, love and clean water, but not on a heart attack.” We can read on Twitter.
One thing is certain, the next episodes of Plus belle la vie promise to be rich in emotions, as there will be a scene of Roland’s funeral. How will the Mark clan recover from this tragedy? Who will inherit the Mistral bar? The answer in the sequel to Plus belle la vie, available in previews on Salto.
