2023-10-11 17:17:22

Since she starred opposite Florence Longpré in the magnificent series Audrey came back from Club illico, actress Joanie Guérin continues filming. She camps in The rebelson the same platform, a single mother with an explosive character to say the least.

Caroline Levasseur tries to regain custody of her daughter Annabelle (Léa-Kim Lafrance-Leroux). She was sexually abused by her mother’s former boyfriend (whom her mother defended!). But for her to be able to take care of the 11-year-old girl full time once more, she must find an affordable apartment, which is practically impossible in these times of housing shortage when one earns a poor living, a very current series written by Anita Rowan, and produced by Fabienne Larouche and Michel Trudeau of Aetios Productions.

Alcoholic, loud-mouthed, angry, vandal and liar, Caroline sleeps in her car, has an unhealthy relationship with love – and with men – and makes videos on social networks, in which she sometimes makes unrelated allegations. supported, which might play tricks on him.

“It doesn’t help his cause, that’s for sure. It’s the energy of despair!” summed up Joanie Guérin in an interview with the QMI Agency, saying “I like to be offered characters who have multiple layers and who are vulnerable”.

Let’s say that Caroline’s survival instinct can lead her to commit actions that backfire on her, thus accentuating her suffering.

Journalist Jacob Gravel-Duquette (Pier-Luc Funk), who highlighted her in a report, no longer knows which way to dance with her as he watches her go.

As if that were not enough, Marie-Josée’s partner (Geneviève Néron) who took in the child as a foster family would have abused her in turn. Annabelle then attempted suicide, a shocking moment in this series which gains in intensity as the episodes progress.

“Caroline is very far from me when it comes to outbursts. What brings her a little closer to me is her lively wit and her sense of repartee. But I am more at peace than my character,” mentioned the actress, who was 30 years old when she graduated from the National Theater School of Canada in 2017.

Caroline got pregnant at 13 and was carrying little ‘bums’. She had several abortions before giving birth to Annabelle at age 20.

“Caroline is injured. This in no way excuses his actions and his choices, but it explains where it comes from. When you’ve experienced abuse, I imagine there are tendencies we pick up that can perpetuate all that.”

Caroline Levasseur’s intrigue will conclude in episodes 7 and 8, which will be posted on Club illico this Thursday. The first season of Rebels will end next Thursday with the posting of the last two episodes on the Videotron platform.
