Monday took the familyviewer farewell to Marie-Rose, Martine Jonckheere (65) already did so on the set in January. Unfortunately, the goodbye was rather painful, both physically and emotionally. That’s what the actress says in First.

The last recordings of Martine Jonckheere date back to January. Her last studio day was with Kürt Rogiers and Sandrine André, who play Lars and Veronique respectively. “It gave me a strange feeling, because immediately after the shooting everyone seemed to have disappeared,” says the actress. “I was able to put that into perspective, because I’ve already experienced it after my cancer. Even then I had the impression that some people avoided me. What should you say to someone who has lost her breast? Or has it just been discarded, as was the case now?” Jonckheere got breast cancer in 2006 and was cured.
Said goodbye to no one
The actress then left the studio alone, without saying goodbye. Fortunately, two more days of shooting followed. The fire scenes in which Martine and Gunther Levi’s characters die were filmed on location. “But because a recording had to be made after me, unfortunately I was not able to say goodbye to anyone,” it sounds.
Moreover, Jonckheere injured himself during those recordings. When a firefighter picked up the actress to supposedly rescue her from the fire, she suddenly felt a great deal of pain. “I heard my rib crack,” the actress clarifies. “However, I was not allowed to show anything, because I was supposedly unconscious.”

Fortunately, the actress also has positive memories of that last shooting day. The young nurse who had to resuscitate Marie-Rose became emotional during the recordings. “A colleague asked that boy: Are you crying now? To which the young man said: Yes, how am I going to explain to my grandmother that I was unable to resuscitate Marie-Rose? I found that so moving.” Jonckheere says she is at peace with her dismissal, unlike the last time she was written out of the series. “While I was completely devastated last time, I can now put everything into perspective and give it a place.”
