Patricia Paquin, who made herself known to the general public in the skin of the sportswoman Geneviève in “Chambres en ville”, does little to the fact that Sylvie Payette’s soap opera has been broadcast repeatedly on Unis TV for three years. The sixth season (of seven) of the adventures of Pete (Francis Reddy), Lola (Anne Dorval) and their friends is currently airing, but Patricia Paquin, who is not at all nostalgic, is neither watching nor accepting the episodes them on .
Except once, at her mother-in-law’s house, when the show was on TV. Patricia then gestured to her now eight-year-old daughter Florence to look at the screen because Mom was there and see how much Mom had changed since then. And the little girl’s reaction wasn’t what Mom really expected…
“And my daughter said, ‘Oh yeah? OK. Can we do that other show again?’ She wasn’t interested! Zero as in Ouellette,” Patricia told Showbizz.net during an interview about her presence as a staffer at Sucré Salé this summer.
“And my sister-in-law, who is English and from London, was there too and said, ‘It’s you?’ I looked like I came from another life…! “Added the presenter and actress, amused by the memory.
Last year Benjamin Gratton, who we see in STAT, also teased his mother about her acting in Chambres en ville, à Bonsoir Bonsoir. Reflect on the moment here. A joke that Patricia Paquin thinks he knows the origin of…
“You shouldn’t trust your father’s lyrics [Mathieu Gratton, NDLR]. Sometimes there are little lines coming from Mathieu. I’ve learned to find it funny… or not! (laughs)”
At Sucré Salé, Patricia Paquin will conduct interviews at home in her own environment. It was the new presenter of TVA’s summer culture magazine, Mélanie Maynard, who invited her to join the reporter team after Patricia Paquin was the first of her colleagues to send her congratulations when it was announced that Mélanie would be the presenter at Sucré Salé. See also here which personality Mélanie Maynard interviews first in her new role.
Patricia Paquin also returned to the pleasure of radio that year, at Rythme, a station where she tamed the medium of Hertzian waves from 2005 to 2012. She later moved to Rouge’s studios (from 2015 to 2018) before returning to service this year. “When I got home I started working at Rythme with Sébastien Benoit on the radio. I had several years to animate for seven years to go and come back … and Sébastien is still there! (laughs) Er, soon it will be 20 years …” Marie-Eve Janvier, Anouk Meunier and they will end their season in the Les Filles du Lunch bar at the end of June, after which Patricia will return to the bar Microphone is confirmed for autumn.
Until then, Patricia will take up her posts at Sucré Salé and have a great time on vacation with her children (Benjamin, 21, Gabriel, 12 and Florence, 8). Other embryos of projects are also born in the air, and she and her husband, Louis-François Marcotte, still own the Chez Cheval café in Mont-Saint-Hilaire, where Benjamin often works.
“I’m like a squirrel. I don’t ask myself any questions. I go from one little nut to the next and am happy. I like being in the action, be it as a mom, on the radio or in a café, it’s the same for me. I’m a girl full of action and ideas and as long as I’m in action I’m happy. No matter what action! »
Patricia Paquin spoke to us here in very touching words about the great pride she feels in her son Benjamin’s career.
Sucré Salé Season 22 begins Monday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m. on TVA. Chambres en ville airs Fridays at 9pm on Unis TV, with several repeats throughout the week.
