‘Emily in Paris' Creator Darren Star Explains Why He Wrote Camille Off the Show
Although production on Emily in Paris season 5 is ongoing in Paris, one familiar face isn't on set. Camille Razat, who has been part of the show since its first season, left the series. Her character, Camille, was the on-off girlfriend of Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), Emily's (Lily Collins) major love interest. As such, Camille served as an occasional friend and rival to Emily throughout the series. In a new interview with Deadline, Emily in Paris creator Darren Star explained why Camille was written off the show. 'I think her story kind of had a natural finish,' he said. Indeed it did: Camille's story ended neatly in season 4, with her deciding to pursue becoming a parent after having a false pregnancy with Gabriel, whom she almost married. Razat revealed on Instagram that Camille's exit was by design, as she was ready to part ways from the Netflix show. The French actress wrote about her next projects and touched on whether there was a chance Camille could be back later in Emily's journey. Razat wrote: Razat's Emily in Paris co-stars all left supportive messages on her Instagram. Collins wrote, 'Love you sister. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure. You're a rockstar. So proud of you ❤️' Bravo wrote a French message to his co-star: 'Ma sœur 🤍' ('My sister' in English) Ashley Park (Mindy) added, 'love you so much, always proud of you ❤️' Lucien Laviscount (Alfie) touched on their friendship, writing, 'From day one you've been my rider on this show. Your passion for story telling, your dark sense of humour, your unwavering ability to stay true to yourself, when everything's pushing you in a different direction. You're special Camille and I feel absolutely honoured to of been able to dance with you these past seasons. Keep on shining. I'm going to miss laughing with you. I'm cheering you on in everything you do 🥂' Philippine Leroy Beaulieu (Sylvie) commented, 'You'll be so missed ma chérie Frenchie!!! ❤️' And Bruno Gouery (Luc) summed up all their feelings with a simple 'We'll miss you … 💕💐' Watch Emily in Paris on Netflix
