Lily Collins strolls hand-in-hand with on-screen lover Eugenio Franceschini in Rome as they film romantic scene for Emily In Paris series five
Filming for Emily In Paris series five kicked off in Rome earlier this month. And Lily Collins, 36, who plays marketing executive Emily Cooper, was spotted filming a romantic scene with her current on-screen love interest, Eugenio Franceschini, 33, on Friday. The pair were pictured holding hands as they strolled through the Aventine neighbourhood, before stopping at one of Rome's most romantic spots - the famed 'keyhole'. For the scene, Lily looked effortlessly chic in a blue-and-white polka dot co-ord. Her ensemble featured a short-sleeve button-up shirt and matching Capri pants with ruffled cape detailing. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She completed the look with a pair of blue bow heels and carried a crochet bag embellished with pearls. During filming, the pair were seen peering through the keyhole for a glimpse of the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, perfectly framed by the surrounding hedges. Meanwhile, Eugenio, who plays Emily's new love interest Marcello, cut a casual figure in a green short-sleeve shirt that showed off his toned arms. He paired it with rust-orange trousers and brown leather Chelsea boots as he gazed adoringly at his co-star, strolling hand-in-hand. The upcoming series will see Emily juggle her potential new life in Rome and her past life in Paris. Emily was left with a decision at the end of series four, as she was offered the position of the lead of the Italian Agence Grateau office. Despite falling in love with Paris and the agency, Emily admitted she was tempted by a new life - with a new man - in Rome. Fans will remember Emily and Gabriel's (Lucas Bravo) romance fell apart after they finally tried to make a go of their relationship after he broke off his relationship with Camille. Following a fake pregnancy scandal, Camille revealed she wasn't actually expecting and Emily and Gabriel tried to work out a romantic future. However, it wasn't meant to be for the star-crossed lovers who were unable to work out their differences and she was pushed into the arms of Marcello, after they met on the slopes of Megève, when she was abandoned at the top of a slope by Gabriel. They crossed paths again at a polo match in Paris and they enjoyed a night out together in the city, which lasted until the following morning when he asked her to come and visit him in Rome. Emily followed her heart and travelled to meet Marcello, where she was also tasked with acquiring his family's business by her boss Sylvie. However, Emily was reluctant to mix business with pleasure. Emily and Marcello hit a stumbling block when he learned of her plans to try and secure a professional relationship with his family, who owned a luxury cashmere company, but they eventually managed to iron their issues out. At this point, Gabriel had a candid conversation with Alfie (Lucien Laviscount), who urged him to try and win Emily back, despite previously being romantically involved with her himself. But despite dashing to Rome with the hope of reuniting, Emily was nowhere to be seen as she enjoyed her romantic day out with Marcello. Speaking about the upcoming series, Lucas said: 'I think Gabriel realized that he doesn't want to let Emily go so easily, and he might have made a big mistake. During filming, the pair were seen peering through the keyhole for a glimpse of the dome of Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, perfectly framed by the surrounding hedges 'They certainly had a big fight and a cooling-off period. But I think he realized that by the end of the season, that there's something that he doesn't want to let Emily go. 'I don't know what that means. Doesn't necessarily mean they're going to be together instantly or ever. I don't know, but I think he feels there's unfinished business with the two of them.' However, there is hope for the couple as according to creator Darren Star, the season is not fully moving to Rome. He told Deadline: 'She didn't change her Instagram handle to Emily in Rome. She is working in Rome sometimes. Sylvie's company has an office in Rome. 'Emily's getting that on its feet. I don't necessarily think that it means a permanent — in my mind, it's definitely not a permanent — move to Rome. We're not leaving Paris.' The series is expected to air towards the end of this year, but one of the main characters has revealed they won't be returning. Camille Razat, 31, who plays Camille in the romantic comedy-drama - took to Instagram to reveal the shocking news with an emotional goodbye post after fans fumed at bosses for 'destroying the character'. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020. Now, after five years on our screens as Camille, the actress is ready to move on. Sharing various snaps from her time on the show, she wrote: 'After an incredible journey, I've made the decision to step away from Emily in Paris. 'It has been a truly wonderful experience, one filled with growth, creativity, and unforgettable memories. 'I'm deeply grateful to @starmandarren and the entire team at @netflix and @paramountpics for their trust and for giving me the opportunity to bring Camille to life and leaving the door open for her return, as she will always be a part of Emily In Paris world. 'This character has meant a lot to me, and I feel that her storyline has naturally come to an end. It felt like the right moment to explore new horizons. 'I've recently wrapped two series: Nero for Netflix and the Lost Station Girls for Disney+. I'm also excited to share that I've launched my own production company, @tazar_production. 'We mainly produce music videos and short films for now, but we're currently developing our first feature film, something I'm truly passionate about and excited to grow. 'I leave the show with nothing but love and admiration for the cast, crew, and fans who have supported us along the way. 'Thank you for the beautiful ride.' Her fans and co-stars rushed to the comments section to share their support. Camille has played Emily's pal and love rival in the show since the programme hit the streaming service back in 2020 (Camille and Lucas Bravo pictured) Lily said: 'Love you sister. It's been a wild ride and an absolute pleasure. You're a rockstar. So proud of you.' Philippine Beaulieu added: 'You'll be so missed ma chérie Frenchie!!!' Lucien wrote: '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.' Emily In Paris premiered on Netflix in October 2020. The synopsis on the streaming service reads: 'New passions. New fashions. New Emily?

First-look 'Emily in Paris' photo teases Emily's new Italian life in season 5
The last we saw of Emily Cooper, she was racing off to Rome on the back of a Vespa with a new job and a new love interest, cashmere heir Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini). The end of "Emily in Paris" season 4 saw a new beginning for our eponymous marketing maven as she becomes head of Agence Grateau's new Italian office.
