Plus belle la vie: Patrick recruited by DGSE to impersonate lookalike

In the upcoming episode of the French series ‘Plus belle la vie, encore plus belle’ airing August 11, 2026, the character Patrick Nebout faces a major life shift. After a mysterious weekend, Patrick returns to Babeth, claiming his lack of communication was due to a broken phone during a kitesurfing trip.

Meanwhile, Morgane investigates a potential error at the morgue. She initially believed a body was Patrick, but discovers it is Jacques Dumont. Her investigation is met with inconsistencies, including claims that no women work at the facility, leading her to suspect manipulation.

The plot intensifies when Sonia Weber, an agent for the DGSE, approaches Patrick. She reveals that a deceased agent, Sam Ferry, was a perfect lookalike for Patrick. The DGSE intends to recruit Patrick to impersonate Ferry for a specific mission. To maintain proximity, Sonia introduces herself to Babeth as Patrick’s new yoga instructor.
