Lucas Bravo’s Emily in Paris Season 5 Concerns: Gabriel’s Character Arc

by

Lucas Bravo, the actor who plays Gabriel on the popular Netflix show Emily in Paris, has shared his thoughts on his character, and many believe the show’s creators should take note as they plan the fifth season. In the series, Gabriel is a handsome chef who lives near Emily when she arrives in Paris. He starts a relationship with Camille, but soon becomes involved in a romantic situation with both Camille and Emily.

Okay, so as a fan of Emily in Paris, I’m totally invested in the drama! It’s not just about Emily and Gabriel, because Alfie was also in the mix for a while. Now, at the end of season 4, Emily’s moved to Rome and started dating Marcello, which is exciting, but Gabriel is clearly still hung up on her and trying to get her back. Honestly, that’s where the show is really hitting a snag for me – it feels like they’re dragging out this love triangle way too long!

Lucas Bravo Said That Gabriel “Slowly Turned Into Guacamole” In Emily In Paris

Despite landing what many actors would consider a dream role in the popular series Emily in Paris, Lucas Bravo has admitted he’s unhappy with how his character, Gabriel, has changed over time. In a 2024 interview with Indiewire, Bravo explained his feelings honestly, saying…

I really identified with the character of the ‘sexy chef’ in the first season, but over time, we drifted apart. His actions and the way the show developed him led us to become very different people, and I feel completely disconnected from him now.

During the first season, I strongly identified with the character. However, as the show developed and he became increasingly naive, constantly manipulated, and unaware of what was happening around him, it became difficult for me to continue portraying him. Watching a character I cared about be diminished in that way was upsetting, and I felt myself distancing from him.

Lucas Bravo initially wasn’t sure if he wanted to return for season 5 of Emily in Paris, as his contract ended after season 4. However, he will be back for the fifth season, though a source told US Weekly that his character won’t have as prominent a role this time around.

The latest trailer for Emily in Paris season 5 didn’t include anything from Bravo, and in an interview with Indiewire, Bravo admitted he’s hoping to see Gabriel regain his cheerful and energetic personality. This could be crucial to the new season’s success.

Emily In Paris Needs To Bring The Spark Back To Gabriel’s Character For Season 5 To Work

Even though many viewers love the character of Gabriel on Emily in Paris, Bravo is right – he often just gets caught up in romantic drama. The show frequently hints that Emily and Gabriel are meant to be together, but Emily’s more recent relationships with Alfie and Marcello have been far more exciting and engaging.

If Gabriel is going to Rome hoping to win Emily back, he really needs to rediscover his old spark – the personality viewers loved in previous seasons. The show Emily in Paris already has a lot of romantic drama, and another love triangle in season 5 won’t work if Gabriel seems unenthusiastic or if his character feels flat and uninspired.

Honestly, I’m a little worried about Gabriel’s chances. They’ve confirmed Lucien Laviscount is coming back as Alfie, and let’s be real, he’s always been the most captivating of Emily’s potential partners – and many of us think they’re actually perfect for each other! Even if Gabriel gets a more exciting storyline, I have a feeling Alfie will still steal the show.

Everyone knows Paris as the City of Love, but it seems like Rome will be the city of heartbreak in the fifth season of Emily in Paris. Hopefully, the upcoming romantic conflicts won’t just repeat old storylines and love triangles, with or without Gabriel involved.
