One episode down and this looks like it is going to be extremely my shit.It's a bit like Gossip Girl, if it was set during the regency period.

Of course people would be on board with yet another Shonda Rhimes soapy embarrassment.

I've considered watching only because of how much I love Queen Charlotte. My hometown was named in her honor, and I have a bust candle of her that I keep next to my Helmut Newton print of another Queen named Charlotte...

I finally started watching this one... good lord, I had to pause the episode and drink a gallon of water. The two leads are beyond hot. The casting director deserves all the Emmys.

The breakout star of this show Rege-Jean Page has done a David Caruso and dipped from the show, presumably to become a movie star. He won't be returning for season two, and it sounds like it was his decision. It was pretty insane for the show to only have him for a 1 season contract, then devote so much of the marketing of the show to his character

Haven't seen the show yet but have heard alot of great things about it. Caruso leaving NYPD Blue after Season 1 (he was in the first few episodes of Season 2 technically) has to be on the Mt.Rushmore of bad decisions by a TV Star who was just breaking out in a big way. Hopefully for Mr.Page he reaches his promise land that Caruso couldn't reach..for his sake.

don't know anything about the books but given that they were gonna focus on new characters for season 2, this isn't surprising to me. Not sure if it was his opinion or not but if he stayed, he would've been a supporting character at most (which is what Dynevor will be if she returns), and I think that's where they were taking the show with or without him. What a bummer. Giving this relationship only one season feels like such a massive missed opportunity.

I'm sure they wish they could keep him but it is impossible based on the concept of the show. The show follows one sibling's love life. He'll probably have guest appearances from time to time but that's about it. Scream Queens was supposed to do something similar and due to the popularity of the characters, Ryan Murphy killed the concept of the show. It would have been better had he stuck with his original plan.

They offered him more money to stay and were also willing to alter the script to make his role much bigger in the second season than it would have otherwise been. It would have still been supporting part due to the concept, but he'd probably still be seen and treated like the star of the show.He said no. Shows make adjustments due to characters having breakout popularity all the time. Spike in Buffy The Vampire Slayer was not supposed to have such a prominent role in further seasons beyond the first one he appeared in, but proved so popular with fans, that they did what they needed to do to keep him.

I understand what you're saying but Buffy was an original concept. This show is based on a series of books. Sooner or later, you are gonna have to deal with the other characters because it is their storyline. He would have overshadowed the concept of the show. Besides, he has so much going for himself right now at least he can do other things. He has tons of offers.

Unless he has something stone cold on offer like Bond that will set him up for the rest of his career , I'm not sure this was a good idea. Staying on the show (even just for another season) would have solidified his fanbase. Leaving after 1 season runs this risk of those "fans" quickly abandoning him and in a couple of years just thinking of him as "that guy they found hot on that show in 2021". This industry has a fast turnaround. There will be another light-skinned hot guy in 6 months on some show or movie that will be getting all the hype. One season probably isn't enough for his Bridgerton "fans" to stay loyal and continue supporting his career away from the show. We'll see. Maybe it'll prove to be a smart decision. But so often actors prematurely leave something that made people take notice of them in the first place, and it doesn't work out the way they think it will.

I'll miss the chemistry between Dynevor and Page but I can settle for Jonathan Bailey in a transparent wet shirt. This is continuing to look cute and tons of fun. Jonathan Bailey and Simone Ashley look great together and it's lovely seeing Phoebe back! Netflix viewers out here living their best Regency bodice-ripping fantasies.

anyone still watching this? I dipped on S2 one ep in (I'll try to catch up at some point) but Queen Charlotte was surprisingly lovely. still missing Page & Dynevor. Their chemistry in S1 was electric and a huge reason why that first season was so fun (and hot!). 🔥🔥
annnyways, season 3 is coming and it's looking very Penelope-centric.

If you found S1 HOT, S2 will always be the HOTTEST. Real advise: please dip BACK IN. You will thank me later. You have NO idea the hots that are waiting for you

I remember headlines saying it wasn't as sexy and that made me sad lol, because so much of Bridgerton's appeal is the unhinged bodice-ripping sexiness But I'll definitely dip back in at some point for Jonathan Bailey at least. (did you watch him in Fellow Travelers? gooood lord )
