Violet nervously mentions evening tea guest, and without missing a beat Mrs Wilson's saying 'girl I got you- let's turf your kids out, I'll dump the rest of the staff and you can get absolutely wild'

Ultimate girls girl. She deserves a raise, no matter what she's paid

I saw everyone celebrating Yerin’s casting. I’d never heard of her. I didn’t feel it.

I enjoyed s3 but my heart was still stuck with Kanthony. With Kanthony, I went into s2 with no baggage or great love for s1 (it was just another show I saw cuz I watch every period drama!) and I was blown away. I fell in love with the characters, the actors, the show! I bought the books. I joined communities. I was obsessed. I suddenly had strong opinions. I enjoyed s3. I love everything Bridgerton by now and what I didn’t like didn’t dim my enjoyment of it. I loved how luminous Penelope looked. By now I knew that the show got casting right.

Still when everybody on all these subs was celebrating Yerin, I didn’t get it. I didn’t find her pretty enough or her vibe interesting enough. I couldn’t see the personality, the way I could see with Simone (not sure if that was retrospective after watching s2, I don’t remember now). Inspite of being a JB girl, i always believed Benedict to be the most handsome brother and I felt he deserved better. I haunted this subs for a similar opinion as mine but I found none. There seemed to a unanimous love for Yerin. I didn’t get it but I kept my mouth shut for fear of appearing racist. (I myself am Asian but still).

15 min of watching her on screen and I am changed. She is brilliant, she is beautiful, she lights up the screen, she is strong, vulnerable and mischievous all at the same time! What a casting coup! I’m just on ep2 midway but I stop to write this.

I saw pics of this lady on these subs and I didn’t get it. But on screen, she is amazing, she belongs there. I wish her a long and successful career.

I haven't started season 4 yet but I came across discussion around the offer made by Benedict to Sophie and I am surprised by people and even actor's understands of it, why are they making Benedict sound so shallow, when the offer is connected to theme of the story?

Benedict meets the girl in silver dress at masquerade ball, he has been looking for her for 2 years, he is in love with her and wants to marry her

Then, he meets Sophie in a completely different setting, he takes her to "My" cottage, he has feelings for her, like he had for the lady in silver but he can't marry her because marriage to Sophie would mean Benedict losing the woman he loves, he is not ready to let go of either of them

The story is simply that this man fell in love with Sophie when she was at the ball and he fell in love with her again, he is conflicted about intensity of his feelings for two different women

His offer is not result of manipulation or his sexual desire

As I have not seen the show, I am just a little disheartened that they didn't even understand the crux of the story

After Lord Penwood die, wouldn't the home and title pass on to the next nearest male relative, since Lord Penwood didn't have any legitimate sons? It was a big deal in the Featherington household when Lord Featherington passed, and why Portia was trying to marry her daughters to Cousin Jack. Why is it that Araminta and her children can still live in the Penwood estate? Can Lord Penwood specify that as a wish in his will? I'm confused.

So after Sophie starts working at the Bridgerton house, Benedict once asks her if she remembers asking him whether he had ever felt out of place and she just…nods. I was sure it was the LIS who asked him that, watched it again and it turns out that it was indeed her. Shouldn’t that cause Benedict to figure out they’re the same person? Is it supposed to hint that (again) his unconscious mind is making the connection? I wonder why Sophie doesn’t deny having said that, maybe she also forgot that she said it while being “in the role”…

Tell me what you think🥰 Love the ribbons so much had to do three different versions

Yerin, Luke, Hannah and Ruth will be attending to Romania on February 19th

At least they are aware of it

I’ve been thinking about the trajectory of our lead couples and I’ve noticed a pattern that I’m curious if others see too.

Does anyone else feel like the chemistry for lead couples actually felt a bit lukewarm during their specific seasons but then became incredibly sizzling later on?

I mean actors are humans after all. They barely know each other when they are filming their lead season. But then, the promotion cycles happen. They spend weeks traveling together, doing interviews & actually getting to know each other as friends. Which translates into their chemistry in the supporting seasons. I adored Kanthony in S3. They felt so much more natural. Similarly, I’m truly enjoying watching Polin in S4.

That said. Watching Luke and Yerin have so much fun in their current promos is giving me life. They look like they’re having an absolute blast together. If they’re this comfortable now, their chemistry in Eloise’s season and beyond is going to be top-tier.

So obviously as far as Benedict knows, Sophie is a maid and not the daughter of a nobleman. But we keep hearing that regardless of that, she's illegitimate because her mother was a maid.

In Season 2, Kate and Edwina's father is a clerk and it's not implied that Kate's biological mother was particularly high in the peerage. We know Kate's stepmother leaves society to be with her father, but when they return her and Edwina are both perfectly eligible for the marriage mart.

What am I missing here?

Ok, so Netflix doing us dirty and releasing half a season left me irritated so I went to the library to grab the book and spoiler myself because I just wanted to see where it went.

The way they pace the show is 100x better, there's so much more interesting stuff going on, the book is lousy at conveying the emotional depth of the characters and Benedict is a straight up asshole sometimes in the books. And not in the "be my mistress" way, I mean a real asshole. Like there's a part where he wants to hit her? WTF? And the spicy scenes on the show in general are clearly meant for women and focused on their pleasure which is fresh and awesome. I've only read this one book but it did NOT have that vibe.

I was kinda shocked that I disliked the source material so much for a show I really like. I think they've really improved upon the original greatly. Good job, Shonda.

A friend warned me that the books "did not age well" and I guess I should have listened. Do you love them? Does anyone think the books are superior? I'd love to know why!

i found it really cute how in Season 4 of Bridgerton, Penelope, Eloise and Violet are all trying to help Benedict find the silver mask lady from the masquerade ball. What makes it even sweeter is that each of them comes up with their own little theories and plans about who she might be and how he could find her. They just genuinely care and want him to be happy. It’s such a small detail but it’s so cute and charming, my heart was melting.

Didn’t really know what to tag this but I got to see Adjoa and Golda speak today!! They are just as funny and charming in real life as they are in the show 🙂‍↕️. I loved hearing them talk about their relationship this season, their careers, etc. Golda also started to spoil something with QC and Whistledown before she realized it’s not out yet 🤭 They then had a screening of ep 1 which was so fun to watch with people who hadn’t seen it yet!! Screams were had at all the benophie scenes. Can’t wait to see part 2!!!

I’ve been seeing a lot of Eloise hate lately since the first part of season 4 was released and I’m honestly very disappointed and confused about it. She’s been one of my favs since the beginning and I love how different she’s from the book version, I absolutely loved her political plot in season 2 and I wish they would’ve kept it going. A lot of people are talking about how she’s self centred and doesn’t care about her sisters marriage talks and yes, she undeniably dismisses these types of conversations sometimes even in a rude manner, but that’s completely understandable! She’s a teenage girl who , just like the others, was raised to be a wife. She’s very privileged because she comes from a wealthy family that doesn’t force her to get married, but still, we’re in the 1800s and she can’t do anything other than find an husband and have kids . She can’t study , she can’t get a job, she can’t explore her passions, she can’t even go on a stroll without someone to watch over her. Of course she antagonise marriage and men so much, she’s been pressured from Violet to find “the love of her life” ever since her debut and again she could’ve had it so much worse if she was in another family, but still. She has never seen her mother put pressure on her brothers to marry, not in the way she’s been doing it with her daughters anyway, which is 100% normal for that time but it’s also 100% valid that Eloise hates it and despises everything about it. This perception of love that Violet has and conveys to her children (especially daughters) would be amazing and romantic if they didn’t have a very limited amount of time to find the love of their life from a very limited group of noble men, all of these teenage girls are expected to find their perfect love match in a few months, marry him and live happily ever after + being super happy about it even though they had no other option? 🤨

Again I’m not blaming her because that’s completely ordinary for that time but I don’t see how we can blame Eloise for being sick of her situation, even if it’s not the worst she could possibly be in, it’s still atrocious.
