TMC.
Interviewed by our colleagues at Télé-Loisirs, Patrick Puydebat, who has played Nicolas since the beginning of the series in 1992, reacted to the end of Les Mystères de l’Amour and stated: “For the moment, it’s all very recent, feelings are quite mixed and confused. I’m going on a six-month tour for the play Le Kangourou à Bretelles, and it would have been difficult to reconcile that with filming Les Mystères.” “And at the same time, on a personal level, I’ve been working with the same team for thirty-three years, so it’s going to be a strange feeling.”
The actor adds: “When it stops, after the holiday season, we’ll all understand that it’s over. For the moment, we don’t really measure the impact of stopping all this.”

While
one might think this announcement would have affected the filming of the series The Mysteries of Love, Patrick Puydebat says the opposite is true. “There’s always a great atmosphere, everyone’s smiling. We joke about it: ‘Enjoy it!’ is the phrase we always use on set. We are indeed enjoying these last moments, so the atmosphere is very good. But nostalgia will soon start to creep in, and I think the last day won’t be as cheerful as it seems,” explains the actor.
It is highly likely that the end of filming for the series will bring many tears, both from the actors and the film crew, as well as from the many fans of the Hélène et les Garçons saga.
