Lucas Bravo addressed Gabriel's absence from Emily in Paris before his return in season 6. Bravo, 38, joked about his character playing a larger role in the upcoming season after missing several episodes, exclusively telling Us Weekly on Friday, April 10, at a PaleyFest event, "He just wanted to be desired, so he took a little step back." The actor said he's excited to dive back into Gabriel's arc. "It was good [because] it leaves more space for other stories to be told," he noted.
