A little tour and then it's gone. Less than two years after their debut on screen, Christine and Gilbert will leave Household Scenes. However, unlike the pair Jalil and Louise – played by Ryad Baxx and Claudia Mongumu, it was not the production which made this choice. On the contrary, it is Didier Bénéureau who is responsible for the end of this adventure.
Fanny Cottençon leaves reluctantly
We recently learned that the comedian did not fully flourish with his role and now prefers to focus on his career on stage. A hard blow for Fanny Cottençon who would have liked to continue the series. However, to her great regret, the producers preferred to fire her character to replace her with a new couple, rather than leaving her alone on screen, like Raymond (Gérard Hernandez) following the disappearance of Huguette (Marion Game).
“M6 didn't want it [de laisser Christine en solo] It's not like our dear Gérard Hernandez, who is a 'history' of the program“, she confessed to Télé Star. A disappointment for the actress who, for her part, had a lot of fun with the concept of Household Scenes : “I am so admiring of writers, of their ability to find the right wordto make us collapse with laughter or to lead us to realizations, that I will not venture there“.
Despite everything, the actress wanted to assure her, she does not blame the production. While the creators will introduce a new heroine played by Chantal Ladesou alongside Raymond, Fanny Cottençon declared about her departure: “It doesn't offend me“. And added: “We are intermittent performers, and when you are an artist, it comes and goes“.
It remains to be seen whether a small one-off cameo will be made possible in the months/years to come.
