Before playing Jeanne and Sandrine in season 14 of "Section de Recherches", Fabienne Carat ("Plus belle la vie") and Mélanie Maudran ("Un Si Grand Soleil") had already appeared in seasons 7 and 9 of the series of TF1 in different roles.
Broadcast every Thursday on TF1, season 14 of Research Section welcomed two new recurring faces well known to viewers since Fabienne Carat (More beautiful life) and Melanie Maudran (Un Si Grand Soleil) have joined the successful detective series in the roles of Commander Jeanne Lorieux and her best friend and roommate Sandrine. Two rather mysterious characters who hide gray areas, and whose secrets and real motivations will be revealed in the double crossover episode with Alice Nevers which will be broadcast on March 11 on the front page and which will serve as a conclusion to the season.
But the faithful of the series, whose first episode was broadcast in 2006 on the front page, may have forgotten a funny detail about Mélanie Maudran and Fabienne Carat: they have already appeared in Research Section in 2013 and 2015 respectively. . in different roles!
Before lending her features to Sandrine in the current fourteenth season, the star of Un Si Grand Soleil has indeed played as a guest in episode 3 of season 7, "Blood Wedding", in which she played a bride. wanted by the SR for inflicting a fatal blow to the head of her future husband with a bottle of champagne just before saying "yes" to him. While Fabienne Carat, she had participated in the ninth episode of season 9, entitled "Wolves", in the skin of a lieutenant of the territorial gendarmerie brigade. Who, unlike Jeanne Lorieux, therefore wore the uniform, as you can see in the slideshow above. The opportunity for the actress revealed by Plus belle la vie to give, already, the reply to Xavier Deluc and Franck Semonin, alias Martin Bernier and Lucas Auriol. But also to Chrystelle Labaude, who has since left the series and now holds one of the main roles in Un Si Grand Soleil.
This little "oversight" on the part of the scriptwriters of the Research Section, however, did not bother Fabienne Carat, who recently confided to us that she found it rather amusing to return to the series a few years later to play another character. "Actually, what's funny is that I also starred in Alice Nevers in January 2019, and here we end season 14 of Research Section with a crossover with Alice Nevers", explains the interpreter of Jeanne Lorieux. "My agent nevertheless told them" You know that Fabienne has already played in the two series before? ", But for them it was not very annoying. (...) And then, I think that the important thing 'is to take the audience, tell them a story. My audience knows how to compartmentalize things, and I think people who like me like to see me in different roles. And then in Alice Nevers, at the time, He was a character who had a very different look. In addition, he died (laughs). So that didn't pose a problem and the chain was up to the task for me to play a new character right away. ".
