The latest episodes of the series Ici Tout Commence, aired on TF1, have captured attention with festive celebrations and unexpected plot twists as characters ushered in Christmas and New Year's celebrations. For the first time, the traditional Christmas dinner at the Auguste Armand institute was organized outdoors, creating a new atmosphere filled with joy and nostalgia.
The New Year’s festivities embraced the vibrant theme of the 1980s, reflecting the joyous spirit of the occasion. Yet, amid the warm gatherings, surprising developments arose. Solal revealed his feelings for Zoé, only to find Gary unconscious on the ground, with blood nearby—a scene which escalated quickly as Gary was rushed to the hospital, leaving viewers anxious about his condition.
Moving forward, viewers braced themselves for what was teased on TF1+. A significant plot twist awaits as tragedy looms over the series with the impending death of a major character. Marta, the sister of Joachim, has been revealed as the character whose fate will leave ripples throughout the narrative. This shocking information surfaced through earlier clips where chef Emmanuel Teyssier delivered grave news to his colleagues, indicating, "something serious has happened" to Marta due to a brain aneurysm, igniting panic among the staff.
Marta's unexpected demise adds layers to the drama, especially since she hasn't appeared on Ici Tout Commence for nearly two years after her controversial departure from the culinary school. Fans will recall her notorious actions, including robbing Célia and sending threat messages, which culminated in her expulsion. Her absence from the screen since April 2022 made her death all the more disheartening for long-time viewers who had followed her tumultuous storyline.
Sarah Fitri, who portrayed Marta, expressed her bittersweet feelings about her character's departure. "I was no longer on Ici Tout Commence due to artistic choices made by the writers," she noted during her farewell on Instagram. "At some point, someone had to be punished for their actions, and it fell on my character." This storyline creates not only closure but perhaps some anticipated reverberations among the remaining characters connected to Marta.
Meanwhile, something intriguing daws is on the horizon: the return of Cléo Louvin, played by Alice Alviez Matton. This has sparked considerable discussion across social media and forums, where fans recall the chaos Cléo instigated among her peers, particularly her previous rivalry with Jasmine. Having been previously committed to psychiatric care, Cléo's return poses questions about her intentions. Will she come back as a changed person, or will the old rivalries spark anew?
This return is certainly risky for the producers, knowing Cléo’s character has garnered significant dislike from the audience. "On social media, the character was hated! Because she was, of course, the antagonist," Eglantine Sofianos, the series' producer, shared with Allociné. Yet, perhaps signaling redemption, she added, "Other characters who once faced their demons, like Greg's mother and Eugénie, found ways to heal and come back, so it's possible Cléo might too." But the catch remains: will viewers accept her back?
With teaser clips shared on social media and on the official TF1 account, anticipation builds each day as fans speculate on how Cléo’s potential arc will evolve. Tension mounts as the storyline rolls out, questioning whether Jasmine and Jim will ever forgive Cléo for her misdeeds. With past conflicts fresh on their minds, it’s anyone’s guess how these characters will interact.
All eyes are on upcoming episodes to witness how these intertwined narratives will develop, with losses being mourned and old rivalries potentially reignited. New pathways may open, and who knows—love and reconciliation may blossom where once there was turmoil. Fear, joy, and suspense abound as Ici Tout Commence continues to weave its complex tale. Be sure to catch Ici Tout Commence faithfully every weekday at 18:35 on TF1.
