After six evenings and twelve episodes, Tom and Lola, the heroes of the new France 3 series played by Pierre-Yves Bon and Dounia Coesens, bow out. And there’s no question of going the English way. If for them, their relationship is clear and unambiguous, for Cynthia and Guillaume, their respective partners, things are not so clear. Even less after surprising them in the same bed in the early morning. Result of the races, just before lowering the curtain, they issue an ultimatum to Tom and Lola asking them to end their shared accommodation. And in fact, we say to ourselves that it must be difficult for them to find their place. What did the actors think? We asked them the question.
Tom and Lola: Dounia Coesens, Pierre-Yves Bon react to the finale of season 1
Before knowing what awaits the heroes in the next episodes since the series has been renewed, for the moment, the first season ends with the ultimatum launched by Cynthia and Guillaume who want an end to the shared accommodation between Tom and Lola. Normal, not normal: what did the actors think? “I understand, begins Dounia Coesens, I understand Cynthia more than Guillaume, who quickly interferes in Lola’s life and asks her to make a choice. She may need a man to frame her but I still find him a little intrusive. On the other hand, I totally understand Cynthia, who saw Tom and Lola sleeping together in a small bed. Even if it’s friendship between them, it’s super hard. Especially since Tom and Lola are very tactile. In my personal life, I hug my best friends, and I’ve had guys who might have been a little jealous. So I totally understand that a spouse can’t put up with that on a daily basis.”
An impression shared by Pierre-Yves Bon: “Even if there is no ambiguity for Tom and Lola, who do not realize what they are giving off because they are sincere in their relationship, yes, I totally understand Cynthia’s ultimatum and Guillaume It’s legitimate on their part Maybe a little less from Guillaume but I find it completely normal coming from Cynthia, who agrees to give Tom a second chance. is not my problem, jokes the actor, but it’s true that Tom finds that things go very quickly between them.”
Tom and Lola: What would Dounia Coesens and Pierre-Yves Bon have done in place of their fictional spouse?
Even if Dounia Coesens and Pierre-Yves Bon understand Cynthia and Guillaume’s position, what would they have done in the place of their fictional spouse? “It’s extremely delicate. Frankly, I don’t know, recognizes Dounia Coesens. It all depends on the context: if we have children with the person, if the relationship is fresh or on the contrary it is damaged and something needs to be rebuilt… As far as I’m concerned, I wouldn’t want my lover is sad to have to do something against his will. If it affects me, I would talk to him about it but I wouldn’t issue an ultimatum. The ultimatum is terrible!”
A feeling that his partner does not share: “An ultimatum is tricky, but at the same time, I don’t see any other solutions from Cynthia’s point of view. I think I would have done the same thing. Once again, I find it legitimate. If she is really sincere in his approach, it’s true that this house is not a neutral place. There is always Lola, his mother or the children To find each other, having a neutrality of place is the healthiest. “, completes the actor delighted with this ending. “I find that this finale is promising for the future. I find it appropriate because once again, in my opinion, this ultimatum is legitimate.” Like Élodie Varlet, also seduced: “I think it was a great way to end. We want to know how Tom and Lola will get out of such a situation. But Cynthia and Guillaume’s ultimatum is obvious: they can’t find their place if Tom and Lola continue to live like this.” So to be continued…
