I recommend the Regency slang video for ‘Regency fuckboi’ alone. I’ll never be able to read that type of character without this popping to mind. Well executed, Sir. 👏

Honestly no idea. The only Featherington family member mentioned in the book that wasn't introduced in the show is the youngest sister Felicity. But Mr. Featherington is already dead by the start of the series and not mentioned all that much. I can't even think of any of the books' chatacters they could try to introduce in this capacity. Going by future heroes, Phillip has already been brought in, which leaves John and Michael, Francesca's future husbands, and Gareth, Hyacinth's future guy, who's also Lady Danburry's nephew. I don't know how any of that would work. Even as for villains, of the male variety, I think there's an old guy in Gregory's book, but can'št really remember anything about him. That's really all I can come up with. Whoever it turns out to be, they'll have to change a lot about the character, but they've already done so with Berbrooke, so I can't see that stopping them.

I doubt they will drop so far, but I do imagine Portia being really pro-active about bettering their chances next season. The show will probably jump ahead about a year, just like in the book, because there's not really much for her to do during mourning without appearing like a monster. Portia wants social standing, not just money, and she can hardly throw herself or one of her daughters at someone during this period without everyone looking down on her even more than they already do. Phillip should expect a lot of correspondence from her, I suppose, and I imagine the yet unknown heir will be called upon as well.

Shondaland came up with this concept, it wasn't there in the source material.

Maybe my deal is that I find Thomas a much deeper writer than Quinn and fear her subtleties would be lost in an adaptation. I really don't know what to think about this Barbara Taylor Bradford deal, since those books, or at least some of them, have actually already been adapted. Why not find something new in such a vast pool of authors?

Mashable's A very serious ranking of all your 'Bridgerton' crushes Whether you agree with the rankings is beside the point, really, because the pros and cons are uniformly hilarious. Topping the hilarity is the fact that Jamie Beamish, aka Lord Berbrooke, shated it thusly:

I think Thomas is a great writer. But I think her works deal mostly with internalized conflicts which can be challenging to adapt. Not impossible by any means, but requiring a great deal of skill. Though I have to say, I remember her endings feeling somewhat rushed. Then again, I haven't read her books in a while, so I could be misremembering. Since we've mentioned Loretta Chase, I started re-reading Miss Wonderful and how great is it that the hero is avoiding romantic entangelments not because he's jaded, but because he's a romantic who falls hard and fast in love with disasterous consequences. Plus, the Earl of Hargate has one of, if not the best introduction of parents in romance novels.

I went to read the 2nd epilogue of The Duke and I to check what you were saying. While it takes place 21 years into Simon and Daphne's marriage and all her sibling are married for years at that point, you're right, Colin and Penelope being married and having kids is key. Even if they were to switch the storyline to one of the other Bridgertons, it still couldn't take place next season. I have to say, this is a rather nice depiction of a long standing marriage, but the editing is abysmal. Either it's a matter of Colin and Penelope having different number of kids, switching between four and five, or one of their son goes from Thomas to William in a matter of a page or two.

I'm skimming The Duke and I, and I have to say some things I like better in the book, chiefly Daphne's character because she does seem actually smart and a girl you'd want to be friends with as opposed to coy on the show, and some have been improved on the show. One instance is the milk scene, one of my favorites of the season. It's actually there in the book, which I'd completely forgotten, but the show made it pop much more. Another thing I forgot is that Simon and Anthony take a dunk in the river. So, this happaned before The Viscount Who Loved Me. Only this time the culprit was a playful kid (Gregory) rather than a dog. Oh, Violet as previously stated also much better in the book. Her wedding night talk is a total disaster, including the following gem which the show for some bizarre reason failed to incorporate: 😂 Also this: Man, the show writers really robbed Violet.

I loved season 1 of The Alienist (still haven't gotten round to season 2) but I turned my head during plenty of scenes.

I don't think I'd ever have recognized him if you hadn't mentioned him. Maybe Daphne would have appreciated a good clavicle compliment had he tried that route.

This post in the cast thread first made me laugh. But then it also made me realize I have an easier time imagining Polly Walker's Portia saying that than talking about "bubbies" when she, Violet and Mary come upon Kate and Anthony. Frankly, it only makes me anticipate the scene more to see how they'll write it.

I don't know what I expected when I heard of the show, but it certainly wasn't this. I just loved it throughout and am so happy to know that season 3 is planned. You can just tell the show creator comes from Derry and has lived through these times, because there's such a huge and palpable amount of love to everything about this place and era, no matter how zany it may be. All the kids feel like actual kids and the grown ups are terrific. Poor Gerry (Mary and Gerry living in Derry :D,) is a saint though for putting up with Joe. But all around it's impossible to pick a favorite because they all work so incredibly well to create this world.

So, I just started Derry Girls and by started I mean I inly have one episode of the first season left. It's that good. Really amazing.

Yeah, looking back on the season, most of the things I want to see more of are Bridgerton siblings being siblings. That's a very good thing indeed.

I think the dude Phillipa (or Prudence?) was sweet on was basically the book Berbrooke, only with a different name.

Plus, I think that was her way of taking a piss at a ton miss. I don't think she was anything near to malicious, but that she was amused by Eloise's big reveal and let her thibk she was right.

I have no logical explanation for it, but I prefer The Last Hellion. Whenever I'm in the mood for Chase's scoundrels, that's the one I re-read.

Well, Penelope isn't the only one to suffer those dresses. Madame Delacroix has to make them.

My money's on Eloise. 😁

One reason I think this makes sense as a (presumably multi-season) series is that most of the siblings are in constant contact. It allows for an easier serialization IMO. I realized that one when I was thinking about Loretta Chase's Carsingtons. I don't really think the show portrayed Daphne and Eloise as close. They were more like oil and water. And from what I remember, Colin was supposed to be Eloise's favorite brother, at least going by a later book. But in hindsight, I think this all comes down to Colin being Quinn's favorite. It seems like he, the brother with the unquenchable thirst for travel, somehow always managed to be there when his siblings were falling in love. I actually don't get how he was there in Francesca's book when it was supposed to be taking place in Scotland at the same time his book was taking place in London, if I got the facts right from what others have written about When He Was Wicked.

The book version is told by Marina's widower Phillip, we never actually meet her. She was his older brother's fiance. After George died in the Napoleonic wars, Phillip got the title and married his fiance. They got twins (definitely theirs, there was no hanky panky with George) and after birth Marina, who had always displayed signs of depression, suffered from debilitating post-partum and never really recovered. Finally, I'm not really sure, should we spoiler tag book posts or not since this thread is marked as containing spoilers?

But in the spirit of fairness, I think the job of an intimacy coordinator is to make the actors feel comfortable.
