Laurie Babin is studying full-time to complete her A-levels in Literature at McGill University this fall. However, before returning to school, she filmed the second season of the thriller Black Lakein which his inexperienced werewolf character has everything to learn.
Her character Jade accidentally bit her boyfriend Dave (Anthony Therrien), turning him into a werewolf. She didn’t know about her condition because her late mother Maryse (Louise Cardinal) told her with the help of Dr. Morot (Marie-Evelyne Lessard) administered medication to prevent her from turning into a bloodthirsty beast. However, when she stopped taking her medication, Dave became a beast in his turn.

Actors Laurie Babin and Anthony Therrien in a scene from the second season of “Lac-Noir.” The young couple they play will face unique challenges.
Jade feels guilty and mourns the loss of her mother in this sequel directed by Frédérik D’Amours, who once again shared the pen with writers Charles Dionne and Martin Girard.
Since the young woman has inherited the family’s summer camp, she must decide what to do with this property, which the dangerous mayor Conrad Cochrane (Andreas Apergis) covets.
“Jade initially refuses to sell to Mayor Conrad. “As we learned at the end of the first season, Conrad wants to turn it into a hunting camp for werewolves,” the 25-year-old actress, who we knew from the series L’Échappée, told VAT.
In the first season, Laurie Babin had a lot to do with portraying her character’s love at first sight with Dave. This time his score is denser. “There is more tension with Dave over his transformation into a werewolf. It affects his mood a lot. It really changes the dynamic. They still love each other, but we are no longer at the first butterflies.
