In an episode of the soap opera Ici tout commence that aired on Friday, September 25, 2026, the character Coline, played by Talina Boyaci, discovers that headmistress Guinot, portrayed by Catherine Marchal, questions her right to be part of the Institut Auguste Armand. This revelation affects Coline deeply, leading her to withdraw from her responsibilities. Céline François, the producer of Ici tout commence, explained during an interview with AlloCiné at the 2026 Fiction Festival in La Rochelle that Coline is about to face a challenging time in her storyline. The upcoming plot arc focuses on a serious and sensitive topic: Coline will become a victim of chemical submission at the culinary school.
Céline François noted that the issue of chemical submission is unfortunately relevant in today's society, as many young women attend social gatherings, are unknowingly drugged, and then face abuse from others. The storyline will first show Coline struggling at the Institut, where she is falling behind in her culinary skills and faces the threat of repeating a year if she does not improve. At the same time, she also has difficulties helping her mother, Angèle, at the farm. Coline tries to support her mother as best she can.
In an effort to change her situation, Coline decides to attend a party organized by the BDE, the student association at the Institut. However, she is unknowingly drugged and suffers an attempted assault. After this traumatic event, she feels something unusual happened that night but cannot clearly recall the details, due to the powerful effects of the drug.
Céline François outlined what viewers can expect: Coline will continue to feel uneasy and will slowly remember certain aspects of the incident. She will follow these clues and find the strength to publicly disclose what happened to her. However, coming forward about such an experience is not easy. Coline will then want to find her attacker, but unfortunately, other girls at the school have also been assaulted. The person responsible is connected to the Institut itself.
The development of this arc was undoubtedly intense for Talina Boyaci, concluded Céline François. Until more is known about Coline and her struggles, Ici tout commence continues to air on TF1, Monday to Friday at 6:30 pm. Episodes are available in advance or for free on replay on the TF1+ platform.
