James Bond?

Let’s just hope he’s James Bond.

Each book is a new story line so kind of expected this.....

RickOShay · 02/04/2021 18:57

But it won’t be the same

@CovidCorvid

What? Surely that’s a main story line?
I know right? What are they thinking?
Laytwir024 · 02/04/2021 19:03

This is unacceptable. Everyone loved him - they're mad.

He can still be a side character like Anthony was in series 1.

StanfordPines · 02/04/2021 19:03

It makes sense. Their story is told. They’ve had their baby and are living happily ever after.
I can see them being background characters and the focus being on one of the other children.

I knew the story lines changed so didn't expect him to lead but I did think they'd throw us some pity-buttocks...

Just one or two boxing training sessions and a few outings of the velvet jackets would have kept us ticking over, maybe a dance or two
I hope Lady Danbury will still feature as she's one of my favourites

I'm not bothered, I think he always looked smug. My favourite was Benjamin.

Mine too. I wish she had more scenes.

Same here. Benedict is my absolute crush )
Didiusfalco · 02/04/2021 19:54

His character is in one of the best scenes in the book, seems like a shame.

TheABC · 02/04/2021 20:00

Can't we just have one scene of him looking broodingly on as the Bridgerton brood car crashes it's way through society?
Surely Daphne need to hold a seasonal ball or something?

Propos to Regé-Jean Page for owning such a pair of amazing abs and buttocks. Yes; it's objectification but he is a truly gorgeous man.

@HoldontoOneMoreDay
Yes surely we deserve some pitybuttocks

RickOShay · 02/04/2021 20:55

At the very least

pink1173 · 02/04/2021 20:58

Am sitting watching episode 5 to help me get over my upset of this terrible news. 😢😢😢

OysterMonkey · 03/04/2021 00:45

I’ll probably binge the whole thing again at some point tbf.
It’d be rude not to.

If the Netflix have any sense they'll just link to that episode after every episode in Season 2, rather than the next one in the series. That'd keep me binging!
LittleOldWineDrinker · 03/04/2021 00:50

What even is the point then??

ZackaryQuack · 03/04/2021 00:54

To be fair, he's only in the second book for half a chapter....

bonfireheart · 03/04/2021 00:54

Jonathan Bailey is such an under rated TV actor (he seems to have done well on stage), glad he's getting to be lead so everyone else can see how amazing he is (and absolutely gorgeous too!!). And also nice to see a gay actor in a lead on such a big production.

Misbeehived · 03/04/2021 01:00

Silver lining of this thread is I hadn’t heard the Bond rumours. Now that would be superb. He’s exquisitely pretty!

picknmix1984 · 03/04/2021 01:20

They could just use a body double surely? We don't actually need him to act do we?
