Premise
editThe series starred Jean Besré and Angèle Coutu as Rémi and Francine Duval, an apparently incompatible married couple who love each other despite their differences, and Stéphane L'Écuyer and Valérie Gagné as their children Christian and Dominique. The cast also included Micheline Lanctôt and Donald Pilon, as well as Serge Thériault as one of the first gay characters in a Quebec television series.[4]
The series was revived by Radio-Canada in 1990, airing until 1992. Cast additions at this time included Antoine Durand as the adult Christian, although Valérie Gagné retained the role of Dominique.
A sequel series titled Les Héritiers Duval aired in 1995 and 1996.[5]
