True.I'm reserving judgement. Everyone was sceptical about season 2 when that was released, and it ended up being more loved than the first. I don't think it'll be too bad. But I don't mind Pen as a character. Colin always annoyed me because in the book he's so cranky so I'm interested to see if they change that.
As long as they do the scene where Colin asks Portia for permission to marry Pen justice I'll be happy. That's the funniest scene in all the books, IMOTrue.
Although Anthony already had a big (but silent, compared to the dukes) fanbase, and we hadn't met his partner yet.
This time we know Pen and Colin well, so we kind of know what to expect.
it will! the interesting thing (not that bridgerton is historically accurate) is that if this was actual regency times then pen has the absolute ideal body/look and would be fighting suitors off.As someone with a few lbs it'll be nice to see someone a female outside the normal physical look carry a romantic lead in a mainstream setting.
I am looking forward to it. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
Its just not something you see in the mainstream media without a comedic element these days. I'd have been a bit hit in the Reubens era..it will! the interesting thing (not that bridgerton is historically accurate) is that if this was actual regency times then pen has the absolute ideal body/look and would be fighting suitors off.
I wonder how they will do this scene having not introduced one of the characters in it to the series.As long as they do the scene where Colin asks Portia for permission to marry Pen justice I'll be happy. That's the funniest scene in all the books, IMO
Exactly, Colin does nothing for me lol. But then neither did the guy from S1 and Anthony. The blonde bearded guy from the S3 trailer however... lovelyI love the 'Pen is hot now' moment is just her in a dark green dress and a slightly different hairstyle like omg an attractive woman in a nice dress! Colin with his shirt off in the trailer was clearly meant to get people going but I don't know about anyone else but it definitely didn't get me going.
I think it's not huge but more visible comparing S1 Penelope to what we have seen of S3. The hair in S1 was atrocious. She always looked like a Louis XIV wig had a child with a poodle.I agree it's nice Pen has her hot now moment without losing weight etc, but the problem is she doesn't look all that different to before. Maybe if she was originally a bit plainer before it would have helped. But hair to one side and a bit of make up I just don't see as a big transformation worthy of those looks
But that never happens! ‘I suddenly decided I fancied her when I realised how much she knew.’ said no man ever.Right I really read a lot of these type of books and it's not about the glow up in my eyes but what the men realise is how clever and intelligent the women in question is. I really hope they don't lose that in the show.
Well it is fiction we are not going down that road are we?But that never happens! ‘I suddenly decided I fancied her when I realised how much she knew.’ said no man ever.
I'd imagine Eloise is going to hold the Whistledown card extremely close to the chest. Perhaps she knows if she exposes her it's their friendship doomed forever. Or perhaps she doesn't want to "stoop to her (Pen's) level" or maybe she's even threatening blackmail (unlikely but it would be an interesting storyline!)That new promo featuring Benedict (that seemed to tease him as a new lead for a possible fourth season) made me more excited than anything we’ve seen for season 3 haha
As someone who has never read the books I was convinced during season 1 that he was supposed to be the gay Bridgerton bro. I can only forgive them for not having him explore his sexuality because the character is so endearing anyway
About season 3: is there any reason Eloise apparently (going by the teasers) hasn’t immediately told everyone that Pen is Lady Whistledown?? If still nobody knows except her then that’s such an annoying plot contrivance. Would she really for one second let her brother near Pen, knowing what she does and feeling as betrayed as she did last season?
Most importantly though: I hope that despite his limited time on set, Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley were able to film lots of Kanthony scenes
I didn't mean my comment as in she'll look too old, I literally said I wondered if she'll still be interested in playing Eloise still, aka playing a 27 year old (that's how old Eloise is in her book) by the time she's closer to 40. Actors often lose interest and if they haven't got her under contract for all 8 seasons, she could choose not to continue.Maybe Nicola C said she wanted out - or a reduced role - after series 3, and that’s part of the reason they moved up Polin?
I don’t necessarily think there’s an issue with Eloise looking a bit older in ‘her’ series. I know you were ‘on the shelf’ at the tender age of 21 in regency England, but in the books she’s meant to be ‘older’.
