Isabelle Van Hecke and Emilie De Roo, actresses from Belgium, finished filming their roles as Tante Carine and Tante Delphine after three seasons of the show “Nonkels.”
The two describe their characters as central to the show’s heart, working alongside the “nonkels” or uncles. Van Hecke, age 49, and De Roo, age 46, found it appealing to play characters that allowed them to portray unattractive qualities both physically and in personality.
The actresses noted the popularity of their roles with audiences in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium. They described the parts as offering a unique opportunity to explore complex and less conventional characters. Van Hecke expressed a desire to embody more of the character of Tante Carine, suggesting she enjoyed the freedom to play a character with flaws. The actresses’ departure marks the end of an era for the beloved characters within the series.
