He hinted that he was considering returning next season: “Life is short. The series took five months to film. Do I want to sacrifice them by telling something that doesn’t stimulate me?”

He also noted, “I don’t want to be part of a cog that doesn’t take the audience’s intelligence into account.”

Bravo told the publication that the series was “good fun” and “escapism” but objected to the “1990s idea of ​​lovers breaking up, kissing (and) breaking up again.”

“Everything is based on a lack of communication. It’s a little archaic,” he noted, adding that he wished Gabriel had more “span.”

They, of course, had a big quarrel and a cooling off period. But I think by the end of the season he realized there was something he didn’t want Emily to let go of.”

“I don’t know what this means. This doesn’t necessarily mean they will be together immediately or ever. I don’t know, but I think he feels like there’s unfinished business with both of them.
