Colette Brancillon, Dix Pour Cent/Call My Agent!

Colette Brancillon (Ophélia Kolb)

In comedy series Call My Agent! (Orginal French tittle Dix Pour Cent), Colette Brancillon was first seen as a woman in a lesbian dating app chatting with one of the lead characters, Andrea Martel.

Andrea rejected her because Colette was looking for a long term relationship, while she wanted a one night stand. Colette appeared the following episode as the tax agent sent to do the tax audit for talent agency ASK, Andrea’s workplace. Andrea started to flirt with Colette who thought it was only because she wanted a positive review for the agency.

Andrea succeeded to convince Colette that she was genuinely interested in her and the two of them started a relationship that ended in episode 1×06 when Colette saw her making out with another woman.

Season 2

In season 2, Andrea’s storyline involved her having a threesome with her new male boss, ending up pregnant, and then trying to decide whether or not to keep the baby. She had a few one night stands and later in the season, short meetings with Colette, though the focus in the latter was to discuss her pregnancy, and she and Colette never rekindled their relationship.

Colette showed up very briefly in 2×02, when Andrea accidentally ran into her at a bar, and was mentioned by other characters, but she did not appear again in the first 4 (out of 6) episodes.

She appeared again in episode 2×05, when Andrea went to see her and asked her out for a drink, to talk. When Colette refused, because she didn’t want to get hurt again, Andrea blurted out that she was pregnant. They met up at the end of the episode at a restaurant and Andrea told her she had a threesome, and that she wanted to get an abortion. They were interrupted by Hicham (the baby’s father), who showed up and demanded to be introduced to Colette.

In episode 2×06 Colette and Andrea were out for a walk after dinner and talked about the pregnancy, and Colette agreed to see Andrea again after she came back from the Cannes film festival. While at Cannes, they had another scene together, over Skype, but Andrea was freaking out because of Hicham, and after Colette told her she maybe shouldn’t have slept with him, Andrea slapped her laptop shut and ended the call.

Colette called her at the end of the episode to apologize, and told her that she wanted to go through the pregnancy with her, although in the meantime, Andrea had gotten a job offer in New York.
