The 12th season of Love lies on the meadow will get off to a flying start this Thursday when farmers finally meet their applicants.

Marie-Soleil Dion followed in the footsteps of Marie-Ève Janvier and Katherine Levac and trusted her instincts to host her favorite show, which she followed diligently from the start.

Marie-Soleil Dion talks to Marc-Étienne, one of the five farmers in the 12th season of “L'amour est dans le pré”, broadcast on January 11th on Noovo.
“For me on this “show” it is important that the host is genuinely interested and involved in what is happening to the participants, and that is exactly what I did. I stayed myself and engaged like they were my friends,” she continued.
“They are genuine people who are looking for real love and want to build a life with someone. […] I think that we really make a difference in their lives and that the “show” is useful. It’s not just a reality show,” added the host, who is coping quite well in this new role.
This year, the oldest member of the group – whose members all describe themselves as romantic creatures – Théo, 51, dreams of a woman who will find happiness in his country.

Lenni-Kim Lalande stars in the musical drama “FEM,” in which the 21-year-old actor and singer plays a young person questioning his gender identity.
“I think it will be good for young people who think like that; to see that they exist on the screen and that they have the right to exist. And I think that by listening to the series, people who are transphobic or homophobic will develop an attachment to the characters and by watching them evolve over ten episodes, by seeing the main character's internal struggle, the reality of the People who are transphobic or homophobic could better understand trans. , the actress brought up.

The latter will also show the documentary “Les heritières” (directed and written by Julie Blackburn), which will be broadcast on Télé-Québec and will take place on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the Council on the Status of Women.
“We were interested in the progress that has been made over the last 50 years at various levels in relation to the status of women and women's lives. We are actually attacking four areas; “Power, having, being and knowing, i.e. education, politics, women in business and the relationship to the body,” she described, adding that she would make a documentary again at some point.
“I think we don't know much about the history of feminism and feminist struggles in Quebec, but we should be more interested because more and more of these struggles are coming back,” she continued.
Marie-Soleil Dion will finally reprise her role as Christine Lévesque in the comedy Contre-Offre alongside Noémie O'Farrell, Emmanuelle Lussier and Antoine Vézina. The pregnant realtor has to learn to stop and slow down, “which is quite a challenge for her,” said her interpreter, who is convinced that this fourth season is the best.
