Personally I liked the Featheringtons redemption arc but with Sophies family I hope they go the route off "leave your toxic a** family behind and never look back. you don´t need to forgive them"
The way that this entire cast embody their roles doesn’t even feel like I’m watching a show anymore they feel like family in a way! And hearing and seeing how they know their characters so well man the casting crew nailed it 4 seasons in a row now and I don’t think that’s going to stop anytime soon 😭
I totally agree. It’s rare that a show touches viewers in this way: the idea that there is genuine, mutual affection and respect among cast and crew members is a part of the magic for me. And that is at least in part due to the deft casting/hiring choices.
I hope there will be the traditional videos of the previous couple welcoming the next couple. It will be cute to see Luke N passing the torch to Luke T -- from younger brother to older brother. Nicola's and Yerin's video will likely be sweet and humorous as well. 😊
My new hobby is to imagine what songs would match each one of their moments together. I'm assuming there will be many K-pop songs on the soundtrack which is exciting to me. Can't wait to see their chemistry on screen, they already look so beautiful together in this photoshoot! Love your channel Sammy, kisses from Brazil! ❤️
I have many thoughts. 1. I need the same amount of intimacy scenes that Benedict got in S3 for Polin in S4 ( just because it’s only right) lol 2. This is my second favorite book and I’m so excited to see it come to life. 3. The lake scene is one of my favorite scenes in the book. The tug of war between them wanting to give in and knowing they shouldn’t is delicious and I hope they can capture the feeling of that on scene. 4. If you do a reaction series to S4 I might die 😂
There are so many ways to incorporate Benedict's sexuality sensitively without there being a love triangle between Sophie/Ben/A man. I imagine Sophie will be very accepting of his sexuality and he'll probably end up telling Eloise. And let's not forget, he's going to be an ally for Francesca down the line too. Enjoyed the video, Sammy, thank you for posting.
I think in the book it’s mentioned that Araminta is in her 40s so it does make sense to cast someone around that age. Also one thing I love about Benedict in the book is that when he goes to their house to look for Sophie, he notices that Araminta is really pushing Rosamund in his favor so he decides to give his attention to Posy 😊 also as for his bisexual/pansexual story I think they’re gonna show that he’s having random hook ups with both men and women before he meets Sophie.
@@voulafisentzidis8830As a bi person, we can end up marrying whoever we want. That’s kind of the point. Please examine some of the homophobic/biphobic bias you’re holding between now and Season 4. Benedict’s sexuality shouldn’t ruin anything for anyone.
I wonder if, when his search doesn’t work out at first, he’s going to spiral by trying to go back to being a rake. (And maybe struggle to do so in the same way Colin did.)
@@Raealwaysreads that’s what I’m thinking as well. Also because in the book there’s that time jump of 2 years before they meet again so it’s possible that they will show him being a rake in between that time
Thank you again for another great video. ❤ On a side note your Anatomy are brilliant . It really gives a debt to the characters. And I always learn something new. Love everything you do especially when you fan out..😂😂but by far they are my favorite. ❤❤❤
I’m so hyped for this season! I’ve waited years for their story and so far for everything that has gotten out I’m very pleased and seems like they are staying faithful to their story ❤ also Yerin is the best woman I would ever picked for Sophie. That photoshoot broke my brain because they look so good
Lovely video and recap of the latest news! And I know I am likely the last person to think of this/ have this epiphany...but I was slapped in the face with how PERFECT "Enchanted" by Taylor Swift would be for this couple. Especially if it is at the masquerade ball when they meet and dance for the first time.
I really hope it´s not a love triangle like it was between Anthony/Kate/Edwina or Daphne/Simon/Prince Friedrich or Pen/colin/Lord Deblings. I hope it´s more like "oh Rosamund is interested in him" but clearly nothing else is going to happen
I'm not worried about Simone. The article says, "SO FAR." I'm 99.9999999% sure she'll be back, and I'm sure it will be announced in the next list round up.
Previously they filmed two episodes at a time, in chronological order. It is possible that this is the cast for the first two or four episodes. Kathnony is in India - it would make sense for them to return in the latter half of the series.
@@berlineczka Jonathan Bailey was on the list, so what? did Anthony teleport in from India for a scene in the first two episodes without Kate? That is totally not the argument to be making, Jonny is only available briefly in October/November, if he is listed and Simone isn't then Simone isn't in the season.
I am 99.9999999999999999999999% sure she isn't back. Jess Brownell has made her position on Kate and Anthony clear, she has also made it clear the only couple she is interested in writing a post HEA is for Penelope and Colin. Further the only children/babies they are casting for are white (so Polin's) which means we won't even get to see Kate and Anthony's baby - assuming they had one since this show runner was too lazy to even complete the story arc she started for them as she was too busy completing Penelope's so she could bring Penelope back for a sizeable storyline after her story is completed. I guess that is because when she said she couldn't write for happy couples what she meant is she can't write for happy couples unless they are both white. Sorry, but Kate isn't in it, Simone isn't back and this show runner has wrecked the series because she wants it to be about that white racist witch Penelope. And yes, I am pissed off.
@BVM2023 Wow. You do realize this is a fictional television show with fictional people, right? Like, are you ok? Since you hate the show so much and are so disappointed in it, I would highly recommend ✨️NOT WATCHING IT✨️ 🤯 Crazy concept, I know! But I don't bother investing my time and energy into things I don't like. I suggest you do the same. It will be better for your health, both mental and physical, I believe. And JB wrecked the show? I think I can hear the Season 3 numbers calling you a liar. Please touch grass. 🧡
I just finished the book. I am very excited to hear there is a lake scene. I trust the casting department with my life at this point. They have their magic formula that seems to hit spot on.
I'm actually really looking forward to 'simpler' costuming for a lead! (Not that I don't love the insanity of the wardrobe dept on this show) but PERSONALLY in historical shows the outfits I tend to love best are the dressed-down simpler looks. (Men in white linen shirts with their slutty slutty sleeves rolled up past their forearms, women in their chemises etc. KATE IN THE LIBRARY IN HER NIGHTDRESS COULD HAVE BEEN THE ENTIRE SEASON FOR ME like god damn it feels good to be a bisexual romantic.) I'm just saying, if Sophie has a limited wardrobe then there should be a scene where Benedict finds her alone late at night in the servant's quarters trying to wash a mark out from the garment she has to wear for work the next day. (THE CONTRAST OF PERMA-PARTYBOY BENEDICT VERSUS 'I LITERALLY HAVE TO WORK TO SURVIVE EACH DAY' SOPHIE LIKE SHE IS GONNA REALITY CHECK HIS PRIVILEGED ASS INTO ANOTHER DIMENSION. SIR YOU THINK YOURSELF A FRIEND AND CHAMPION TO THE BOHEMIAN LABOURER? TRY AGAIN. YOU GOT PAINT ALL OVER HER APRON WHEN YOU TOUCHED HER YOU SLOPPY JERK, SOMEONE ELSE HAS TO CLEAN THAT UP.) Also I hope Eloise gets to approvingly witness Sophie giving Benedict a set-down 'cause she's going through a similar journey herself of reckoning with her own luxuries of financial and emotional security with a supportive and wealthy family whereas other women and poorer people out there are like how am I going to live and also with the Swingset Kids having the bond they do I feel like the Sibling Heart to Heart that's gonna help set Benedict on the right path to his happy ever after comes from Eloise, like IT HAS TO. Of course Violet will also have her moment to give her kid the pep talk they require but every lead gets a talking-to from a sibling at some point, as well.
I wonder if she will be Pens new ladies maid or housemaid. If you think about it Pen n Colin will need to be setting up their new household since they will be moving into Featherington house. Which would be a larger household than their previous one. Rey could take over for Mrs. V. because naturally she would go with Mrs. Featherington. Leaving Pen in needed of a new ladies maid and who better than someone your brother in law recommends.
idk if you read the book or not, but sophie work with violet makes more sense than pen. benedict comes to violet's house to meet sophie, just her. violet play a big role for benophie love story and i kinda hope the show keeps it that way.
I did but all the girls but HY are now out of the house and if the cast list is right Kate won't be around either. That changes the whole household structure. I see Violet going over to Pens house to see the baby more than them going there for tea time. Ya know they like to make changes like that... but who knows @ruwoopy
When it comes down to it, as a bisexual person, I would much prefer to see Benedict use his journey of self-discovery regarding his sexuality to help Francesca in her story arc with Michaela. Having Benedict's bisexuality be a barrier in his relationship with Sophie would just encourage the stereotype that bisexual people are non-committal or conflicted and can't have meaningful or lasting relationships with one person. Having him be a confidante and someone with helpful advice to offer Francesca would be a much more inspiring way to use self-exploration as a plot device instead of perpetuating incorrect lines of thinking. It would be a much better story to have Benedict and Francesca bond over their mutual queerness and find comfort in being understood in a similar way to how the Bridgerton siblings have leaned on each other in past seasons.
The mask reveal would be a great thing with all of them would be great. I love that it's an Asian cast!! People were upset with what the book had to say about Benedict's proposal. That stuff happened a lot in that time. People really should read up on that period of history. Keep doing what you are doing, Sammy.😜
@SherieNunnally people are upset about the book yet aren't bothered by the wardrobe. Not that the dresses weren't beautiful, but the fake fingernails and the fingerless gloves got on my nerves. Why are they wearing gloves at all? Yet people were bothered by what happens in the books.
@SherieNunnally Probably, but it would be the same situation with Anthony and Colin before they got married. I feel like Benedict's sleeping around the last three seasons is more than enough. Let's hope they show less of that. Hopefully, the season is already in full swing. I mean, Hyacinth still has a while before coming out. Francesca is married, and Eloise doesn't care about society. Benedicts has been busy filling in for Anthony. Let's hope it starts like that where he's bored of the season and trying to figure out what to do when Anthony takes it back over.
I think I'm gonna have to go back and read this book again, to jog the old memory and line it all back up again... On your question of the height difference between Luke and Yerin, the only measurement that really matters is the one between lip and hip,,, my ol' man was 6'3" and I was 5'2 & a half,,, believe me, everything worked juuust fiiinnne ... 😉 Can't wait for the new season, I just wish they'd bang 'em out a bit quicker, 2+ years is a bloody long wait and none of us is getting any younger... If they stick with this kind of schedule, it'll be somewhere around 2032 when the last one comes out, and I'll be a decrepit old lady by then,,, that's if I'm still kickin'...🤣🤣 🙃🐨🇦🇺
On the What a Barb! podcast, Lekki had a cool idea that maybe the story take some inspiration from 12th night and Mulan. Where after the masquerade ball, Sophie disguises herself as a man and works as a valet or footman in the household. So Benedict meets her in her male persona and falls for her despite thinking she's a man, which would make sense because we've already established that he can be attracted to a man. It's a great way to integrate Ben's queerness naturally into the story without adding an additional character to take screentime away from the remain couple. I think that would be so much fun.
Well that’s not happening. The dress has already been revealed and confirmed and Yerin already confirmed she had fitting for a MAIDS costume. Benedict is pan and Sophie doesn’t need to lose her femininity to confirm his queerness.
Suggesting a story about a Korean protagonist takes inspiration from a Chinese story is ignorant and low key racist, she is just suggesting that all East Asians are the same so a Chinese story can be used for a Korean with no consideration that they are completely different cultures.
I am still crying over the Polin season being over. I would die if they made a Violet season for 2025 like they did with QC last year. However, i will be only looking forward to the Polin, Violet and Eloise story lines in S4, as the others do not interest me at all😢😢
I also really hope that they play on the Korean Japanese thing, like they really don't understand each other, they have different custom and things like that.
I don’t understand how they made Luke Thompson more attractive but somehow they did!! Also I love that they built the sets, I think we will have an announcement of future seasons having been commissioned soon as that’s a lot of money to spend.
I could see them characterising Araminta in the same way they did the step-mother in the Live Action Cinderella: make us understand why she does what she does to Sophie without making us fully sympathise with her. In the LA, step-mother briefly mentions that Cinderella is young and beautiful, implying that the step mother may have been overlooked because she was older and "less beautigul" and so she had to work harder to get the step-daughters to the comfortable lifestyle they had. Of course, this doesn't justify her actions towards Cinderella, but it moreso gives us a why.
Are you still going to do a season 3 analysis on Colin & Penelopes' relationship? As well as more season 3 scene breakdowns? I've only just discovered your videos❤❤
Yerin and Luke T look good together. Michelle Mao is stunning. I'm sure she'll be a true villain. I can imagine Rosamund will create the most obstacles between Ben and Sophie, whether through misunderstandings or pretending to be the Lady in Silver at some point. Ben is portrayed as someone who goes against societal norms, but in the shadows. Therefore, it would make sense, like in the book, for him to propose that Sophie be his mistress, fitting with his character that moves on the fringes of society but stays hidden to avoid judgment. At 30, he hasn't made progress, hiding behind his bohemian attitude and being the second brother, fleeing responsibilities. It would be great for the plot to explore what angers him, what his dark side is, and if he'll confess to Sophie that he’s attracted to both men and women. How has his father's death affected him? But knowing Jess, it's likely she’ll focus more on Sophie than Ben, as she likes to empower female characters, which is fine too. Perhaps we'll see him return to art school, where he'll continue exploring his sexual identity in the wild parties there in early episodes, but when all the fun is over, he'll get to work painting portraits of his Lady in Silver.
Yes, she is described as "overweight". If I remember correctly, she's heavier than Penelope. But it's been a long time since I read the books, I can be wrong.
Part of Sophie’s story is class differential. The Mondriches are some of the few characters that we have who were not always part of the ton. It’s very possible the Mondriches could be important during Benedict’s journey.
@@Raealwaysreads the Mondrichs have served in all seasons. Starting with the Duke. The Mondrichs are a plot device to explain the world of the ton to those watching Bridgerton & that era for the first time. I’m sure at some point, possibly Gregory’s, they will gain in import. Gregory will not have brothers to cavort with, but he will have the Baron & we will be invested.
Kate should come back at least because she's a Viscountess. Or will Violet manage the entire Bridgerton household with Benedict until her death?!) In theory, Kate should marry Eloise and Geacinth)
I only hope that the article with Simone is simply because nothing has been properly confirmed. It would not paint this production in a good light at all if it was an oversight because this would not be the first time that Simone wasn’t treated well by the show in terms of promo and writing for her character. I also hope that when it comes to Yerin she will be treated like the lead and not be sidelined for the sake of bright and light characters because that would further expose the pattern of the show’s treatment of the POC.
I won’t get excited until I see it. Glad you are excited but it’s too early for me. After the disservice they did to Colin and Penelope I will reserve my judgment and not get my hopes up.
Maybe they want the viscountess to move to India forever... I don't know maybe Benedict is going to be the viscount now. There're things about this tv show that I don't get anymore
Maybe Simone not in the cast list is on purpose to play off the furore. Plus, she has 2 film commiments so perhaps timing hasn't yet been sorted and contracts signed.
I think the casting is amazing! I am a little frustrated that Posy is thin. Bridgerton loves to be ethnically diverse but they still have only have very few female characters they aren’t stick thin. It would have been nice to have her average to heavier weight if they are going to follow her story ending. Her husband being instantly attracted to her.
I think Pen will have violets part in the show. She has the power to scandalize the stepmother and her daughter. I’m hoping we get a little Benedict/Pen.
You know how Viola was disguised as a man in Twelfth Night? What if to keep the bi/pan scenario, Benedict meets Sophie at the ball as a woman and then likes her as a man when she's escaped her family and is working in the country. What if the stepmother actually had her dressed like a man the whole time so no one knows there another girl in the house even if she's just supposed to be servant. That could be an interesting twist. What if Sophie herself is gender fluid (in a very 1800s way)?
That’s already been debunked. Sophie is going to be a maid yerin already confirmed as well as Netflix summaries AND the silver gown has been confirmed too. Sophie doesn’t have to change to confirm what’s been confirmed for Benedict he his only issue is commitment that’s it. let’s drop it now.
@@RenHRbooklover Why do you feel the need to "debunk" another person's opinion/idea? Isn't the whole point of this exercise to explore our creativity with new concepts and options? Did I say "this is what Netflix is going to do?" A simply "what if" scenario is not hurting anyone with a speck of imagination.
I honestly think they are trying to get promotion out of Simone. They know people want her back. We know Polin and the Bridgerton are usually back. So when it’s time to hype the season they will reveal her coming back to get people talking again.
Sammy, Sexual activity with other people of any sex is not OK within the bounds of marriage. Benedict must remain honorable. Also, I have missed the “fire” in the stills that have been released. Even after you said you couldn’t miss that chemistry, but Lady, I’ve literally never disagreed with your assessments. So I’m gonna shelve any misgivings until I see it in the season. I admit the casting in the first 3 has been perfection, so, again I’ll wait. Thanks Sammy, it’s gonna be hard to wait another 2 years. We waited far too long for Polin.
You know, I must say: I wonder if we will have at least one season where a Bridgerton is not a great dancer. I know we have seen that with Eloise but it would be kinda nice of they allowed that to remain with her character when it’s her turn, because I did just think about how every sibling and their spouse has suddenly become fabulous dancers. We need at least ONE bad dancer in the family! 😂🤌🏽
Personally I liked the Featheringtons redemption arc but with Sophies family I hope they go the route off "leave your toxic a** family behind and never look back. you don´t need to forgive them"
The way that this entire cast embody their roles doesn’t even feel like I’m watching a show anymore they feel like family in a way!

I love the love you have for this book! I have butterflies of excitement in my stomach for this season💖🧡💖
I really adore your level of enthusiasm and just plain FUN.
I freely admit I have a desire to see Benedict and Sophie dance to some Chappell Roan.
Lake scene confirmed makes me very verrryy happy.

Benedicts has been busy filling in for Anthony. Let's hope it starts like that where he's bored of the season and trying to figure out what to do when Anthony takes it back over.
I think I'm gonna have to go back and read this book again, to jog the old memory and line it all back up again...
On your question of the height difference between Luke and Yerin, the only measurement that really matters is the one between lip and hip,,, my ol' man was 6'3" and I was 5'2 & a half,,, believe me, everything worked juuust fiiinnne ... 😉
Can't wait for the new season, I just wish they'd bang 'em out a bit quicker, 2+ years is a bloody long wait and none of us is getting any younger... If they stick with this kind of schedule, it'll be somewhere around 2032 when the last one comes out, and I'll be a decrepit old lady by then,,, that's if I'm still kickin'...🤣🤣
🙃🐨🇦🇺
Absolutely. These casting agents will be the death of me. They know something we don't when picking any cast for any project ❤
Yea, here's hoping 🤞🤞🤞
I'm watching this and instagram is blasted with mascarade ball leaked photos 😂😂😂 benny boy looks like zorro
Wait where did u see it at

On the What a Barb! podcast, Lekki had a cool idea that maybe the story take some inspiration from 12th night and Mulan. Where after the masquerade ball, Sophie disguises herself as a man and works as a valet or footman in the household. So Benedict meets her in her male persona and falls for her despite thinking she's a man, which would make sense because we've already established that he can be attracted to a man. It's a great way to integrate Ben's queerness naturally into the story without adding an additional character to take screentime away from the remain couple. I think that would be so much fun.
Ooooh I would LOVE that!
yea well sorry to disappoint bcs they are already filming and sophie dress look pretty, she went as a woman, as she should
@@ruwoopy did you not comprehend the comment?
Well that’s not happening. The dress has already been revealed and confirmed and Yerin already confirmed she had fitting for a MAIDS costume. Benedict is pan and Sophie doesn’t need to lose her femininity to confirm his queerness.
Suggesting a story about a Korean protagonist takes inspiration from a Chinese story is ignorant and low key racist, she is just suggesting that all East Asians are the same so a Chinese story can be used for a Korean with no consideration that they are completely different cultures.
I am still crying over the Polin season being over. I would die if they made a Violet season for 2025 like they did with QC last year. However, i will be only looking forward to the Polin, Violet and Eloise story lines in S4, as the others do not interest me at all😢😢
I also really hope that they play on the Korean Japanese thing, like they really don't understand each other, they have different custom and things like that.
I don’t understand how they made Luke Thompson more attractive but somehow they did!!
Also I love that they built the sets, I think we will have an announcement of future seasons having been commissioned soon as that’s a lot of money to spend.
It will make filming easier and the seasons could film quicker. I read an article where Shonda mentioned about getting permanent sets.
I could see them characterising Araminta in the same way they did the step-mother in the Live Action Cinderella: make us understand why she does what she does to Sophie without making us fully sympathise with her. In the LA, step-mother briefly mentions that Cinderella is young and beautiful, implying that the step mother may have been overlooked because she was older and "less beautigul" and so she had to work harder to get the step-daughters to the comfortable lifestyle they had. Of course, this doesn't justify her actions towards Cinderella, but it moreso gives us a why.
Are you planning to do a video covering the book like you did with Polin's storyline?
Are you still going to do a season 3 analysis on Colin & Penelopes' relationship? As well as more season 3 scene breakdowns? I've only just discovered your videos❤❤
I will be reading OFAG unmmfor the next two years.
their emoji should be a mask.
Yerin and Luke T look good together. Michelle Mao is stunning. I'm sure she'll be a true villain. I can imagine Rosamund will create the most obstacles between Ben and Sophie, whether through misunderstandings or pretending to be the Lady in Silver at some point. Ben is portrayed as someone who goes against societal norms, but in the shadows. Therefore, it would make sense, like in the book, for him to propose that Sophie be his mistress, fitting with his character that moves on the fringes of society but stays hidden to avoid judgment. At 30, he hasn't made progress, hiding behind his bohemian attitude and being the second brother, fleeing responsibilities. It would be great for the plot to explore what angers him, what his dark side is, and if he'll confess to Sophie that he’s attracted to both men and women. How has his father's death affected him? But knowing Jess, it's likely she’ll focus more on Sophie than Ben, as she likes to empower female characters, which is fine too. Perhaps we'll see him return to art school, where he'll continue exploring his sexual identity in the wild parties there in early episodes, but when all the fun is over, he'll get to work painting portraits of his Lady in Silver.
❤❤❤
Was poise a little plus size in the book?
That was supposed to read Posie
Yes, she is described as "overweight". If I remember correctly, she's heavier than Penelope. But it's been a long time since I read the books, I can be wrong.
Yes Posy is described as an overweight girl in the book!
Why are they recasting the Mondrich’s ? I mean seriously what do they serve for? I prefer more Fetherington sisters and Cressida!
Right? Forwarded through every Mondrich scene. Who caressssss
They are fab.
Part of Sophie’s story is class differential. The Mondriches are some of the few characters that we have who were not always part of the ton. It’s very possible the Mondriches could be important during Benedict’s journey.
@@Raealwaysreads the Mondrichs have served in all seasons. Starting with the Duke. The Mondrichs are a plot device to explain the world of the ton to those watching Bridgerton & that era for the first time. I’m sure at some point, possibly Gregory’s, they will gain in import. Gregory will not have brothers to cavort with, but he will have the Baron & we will be invested.
Why the recast?
I know they are based on the same story, but it sound's a lot like "Ever after," especially that scene when the prince presents his wife at the end.
I adore that movie so if they give me Ever After vibes, I will be elated
Hyacinth, Madame Delacroix , Posy … I mean why do fans mispell the characters names? 😔
I saw a group photo of the cast and Will Tiltson was in the photo, but was not listed with the cast. They just forgot him.
I hope they don’t show the men trying to …. Sophie. I don’t like that 😢
Ssoooooo ggoooddd
I’m excited about S4! I really am, but I miss Polin already 🥲
Kate should come back at least because she's a Viscountess. Or will Violet manage the entire Bridgerton household with Benedict until her death?!) In theory, Kate should marry Eloise and Geacinth)
Not that it matters but Rosamund is pronounced Ros, as in Ross without the second s, the a as in apple. So Ros-a-mund.
I only hope that the article with Simone is simply because nothing has been properly confirmed. It would not paint this production in a good light at all if it was an oversight because this would not be the first time that Simone wasn’t treated well by the show in terms of promo and writing for her character.
I also hope that when it comes to Yerin she will be treated like the lead and not be sidelined for the sake of bright and light characters because that would further expose the pattern of the show’s treatment of the POC.
I won’t get excited until I see it. Glad you are excited but it’s too early for me. After the disservice they did to Colin and Penelope I will reserve my judgment and not get my hopes up.
Maybe they want the viscountess to move to India forever... I don't know maybe Benedict is going to be the viscount now. There're things about this tv show that I don't get anymore
Where's 'anne with an e 'season 3 episode 10... 🙂
If her family is tainted in the same way as the Cowpers then that would make sense to move them to Elouise’s season.
PLEASE UPLOAD ANNE WITH AN E ALREADY!!! :(((
Maybe Simone not in the cast list is on purpose to play off the furore. Plus, she has 2 film commiments so perhaps timing hasn't yet been sorted and contracts signed.
Posey gets her redemption arc in the 2nd epilogue....
I think the casting is amazing! I am a little frustrated that Posy is thin. Bridgerton loves to be ethnically diverse but they still have only have very few female characters they aren’t stick thin. It would have been nice to have her average to heavier weight if they are going to follow her story ending. Her husband being instantly attracted to her.
Madame Deloxiou isnt in it either 😮
No Madame Delacroix? What will all the ladies of the ton do without the Modiste??? They literally do nothing but prep/dress for balls and promenade. 😂
I think Pen will have violets part in the show. She has the power to scandalize the stepmother and her daughter. I’m hoping we get a little Benedict/Pen.
No madame Delacroix either in returning cast
Plisssss do awaeeeeee pilssss
I’m about to film my reaction to the last episode, it should be up soon!
You know how Viola was disguised as a man in Twelfth Night? What if to keep the bi/pan scenario, Benedict meets Sophie at the ball as a woman and then likes her as a man when she's escaped her family and is working in the country. What if the stepmother actually had her dressed like a man the whole time so no one knows there another girl in the house even if she's just supposed to be servant. That could be an interesting twist. What if Sophie herself is gender fluid (in a very 1800s way)?
That’s already been debunked. Sophie is going to be a maid yerin already confirmed as well as Netflix summaries AND the silver gown has been confirmed too. Sophie doesn’t have to change to confirm what’s been confirmed for Benedict he his only issue is commitment that’s it. let’s drop it now.
@@RenHRbooklover Why do you feel the need to "debunk" another person's opinion/idea? Isn't the whole point of this exercise to explore our creativity with new concepts and options? Did I say "this is what Netflix is going to do?" A simply "what if" scenario is not hurting anyone with a speck of imagination.
I honestly think they are trying to get promotion out of Simone. They know people want her back. We know Polin and the Bridgerton are usually back.
So when it’s time to hype the season they will reveal her coming back to get people talking again.
Sammy, Sexual activity with other people of any sex is not OK within the bounds of marriage. Benedict must remain honorable. Also, I have missed the “fire” in the stills that have been released. Even after you said you couldn’t miss that chemistry, but Lady, I’ve literally never disagreed with your assessments. So I’m gonna shelve any misgivings until I see it in the season. I admit the casting in the first 3 has been perfection, so, again I’ll wait. Thanks Sammy, it’s gonna be hard to wait another 2 years. We waited far too long for Polin.
You know, I must say: I wonder if we will have at least one season where a Bridgerton is not a great dancer. I know we have seen that with Eloise but it would be kinda nice of they allowed that to remain with her character when it’s her turn, because I did just think about how every sibling and their spouse has suddenly become fabulous dancers. We need at least ONE bad dancer in the family! 😂🤌🏽
