Emily in Paris is one of the most popular shows on Netflix. It chronicles Emily's journey in the city of Love after she was presented with an opportunity to travel to Paris for work.

While Emily nearly saves the day at work, barely managing to speak French, she also meets potential love interests on the show. Amidst all the love interests and love triangles, Emily finds herself in throughout the show, fans have always had a soft spot for her neighbor and chef Gabriel (Lucas Bravo).

While fans are eager to see if the couple will get together after the Season 4 cliffhanger, romance might not be on the cards for them as Lucas Bravo might leave Emily In Paris.

Here is everything to know about his potential exit.


Is Lucas Bravo unhappy with his character Gabriel in Emily in Paris?

Gabriel is also one of the first love interests introduced in the show, with the running gag of Emily 'mistaking' his floor as hers.

While the pair is a fan favorite, there was hardly any peace for them, with something or the other coming their way. It is possible that we might not see the couple together on the show as Lucas Bravo, who plays Gabriel on the show, is thinking about quitting.

In an interview with IndieWire, Bravo discussed how the fun, cheeky Gabriel of the initial seasons has turned melancholic over the last few seasons. He no longer resonates with the character and does not feel good about the direction his character is given on the show.

In Season 1, there was a lot of me in him. But as they made him...always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much...being slowly turned into guacamole.''

Bravo also tried to bring his personality to the character, but he feels that actors have little 'liberty' over playing the characters they are given. Bravo is grateful for the fame and recognition the show has brought for him but 'does not feel his character' anymore.

It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5 […] because my contract ends at Season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore.''

While Gabriel's return is highly uncertain after the actor's comments about his character, seeing how the story continues in Emily in Paris will be interesting.

Seeing everything that happened with Gabriel in Emily in Paris, Bravo's feeling disconnected from his character is not wrong. After thinking Camille is pregnant with his child, he juggles a test relationship with Emily while caring for Camille.

During a ski trip on a mountain, he leaves Emily alone (who is a learner) and goes to chase after Camille. After Emily realizes that he will always prioritize Camille because of their child, she decides to leave the relationship.

''Everything is based on a lack of communication. It's a bit archaic. Today, the new generation expresses [its emotions] and confronts [them]. I would like [Gabriel] to rediscover a bit of panache.'', Bravo on his character

Emily meets Marcello, who helps her on the mountain, and she stays in Rome for work. The season ends on a cliffhanger with Gabriel about to leave for Rome to fight for Emily.

Emily in Paris is available to stream on Netflix.
