If you, like me, are very much Team Alfie these days, you might be shocked to know that our fav lover boy was only ever meant to be in two episodes of Emily in Paris on Netflix. This would have been TERRIBLE.
Lucien Laviscout took up the role of Alfie, Emily’s love interest, in season two of Emily in Paris, and has played an integral role in the show ever since. However, in an interview, Lucien said when he first signed up for the show, his character was only meant to be around temporarily.
Speaking on Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, he said: “I came on second season so I kind of had an inkling [it would do well], but then you had these shows that hit through Covid and everyone kind of just binged them at home. So it was a nervous entrance to the show. I was only supposed to do two episodes.
“I remember on what was supposed to be my last day, I got this round of applause and Darren Star, the show’s creator, said, ‘Lucien you’re not leaving Paris’ and I thought ‘what have I done wrong?’ I thought I was going to get arrested or something, but he said, ‘no we want to keep you around a little bit.’”
When further asked why they chose to keep him around instead of bin him off as originally planned, Lucien added: “I have no idea, I’ve just got to thank the acting gods somewhere out there in the ether and I think working with Lily as well, we had a good relationship on set, so they wanted to keep me around.”
And for all the Alfie stans out there, I can confirm it would have been CRUEL to have him on our screens for two episodes and then take him away. What a great decision to not do that!
