Let’s talk about Gabriel telling Emily that he loves her. It certainly raises the stakes for them, given what we now know about Camille, too. Is there any significance to the the timing of when he finally says “I love you”?
Well, I think it was independent from what was going on with Camille. I think Gabriel’s feelings for Emily were independent from his relationship with Camille. And it felt like, for me, just a natural evolution of the two of them, after all this time, finally getting to be together.
It was so nice to see their relationship finally get a chance to take off. Will that continue into the second half?
I think that as they get closer…the infatuation period, the romantic fantasy period is over and they see each other in a more realistic, clear-eyed way. And I think they’ve always been a bit of a fantasy for each other, and now they get the opportunity to be together, so the rose colored glasses came off a little bit.
By the way, what was it like bringing the masquerade ball to life?
That was fantastic. It’s something I always wanted to do. We had the participation of Baccarat and the Baccarat Mansion, so we had this amazing location and it was a dream to be able to do that and film there.
What else is on your dream list of places that you still want to go to to film?
Oh, I don’t know. I’m still thinking about it.
Speaking of, we have yet to see the episode or episodes where Emily goes to Rome. However, in the photos that Netflix released earlier this summer, it looks like Emily is actually in Switzerland based on the Swiss flag on pillows in the background, and the Swiss-looking chalets. So, does she indeed go to Switzerland?
