They mention the kids being named in alphabetical order in EP1 in conversation with the girls. It was said in a very passing way so it’s easy to miss.

The fact people hate siena for rejecting Anthony like .... He would've NEVER actually been fully with her and he showed that time and time again

Emmi

The coachman is called footman John played by Oli Higginson people ship his character with Eloise

Off topic for Bridgerton: Have you both seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer? A continuation series set years later, with Sarah Michelle Gellar as showrunner, is set for 2026/2027 release. I am a relentless Buffy fan and would love your reactions to that series, but it's also a long haul that would take up a lot of your schedule if you did it before the new show releases. There's a dedicated Buffy fandom with lots of buzz around the reboot. just saying. :)

1. Till this day, I still don't understand the Sienna plot line. She wanted him to take her seriously and so did other people. And the minute Anthony says "I want you by my side", she says no because you have too many duties and responsibilities as a Viscount. But in this time period, the man she chooses will still have duties and responsibilities to make sure she "is kept in high fashion." Now, true Anthony was unreliable but at that point he had made up his mind so what was the point of breaking his heart so that he continues to be the rake he already was. Especially since Sienna isn't even truly a factor in S2. S2 Anthony follows Book Anthony, which is that he doesn't want to marry his love because he doesn't want to break her heart since he believes he going to die young like his father and his uncle. I guess they just needed us to care about Anthony more and give him a storyline to keep him around so we could care about him but he wasn't necessarily all that likable this season, so its not like they did him any favors. And Sienna is only a fling in the books that Kate catches Anthony with in the library scene. 2. They also should have played more into Simon being suicidal. They didn’t really emphasize it at all. The only time you really see it is at the duel when he points his gun up, fully expecting Anthony to shoot him. In the book, Simon actually sleeps with woman who have significant others because he’s trying to provoke somebody into killing him. 3. I still don’t like Marina. What she said to Penelope was out of pocket, especially when you are supposed to be that girl’s friend. 4. Still don’t like Eloise, she’s a fake feminist. Cause a real feminist to me would never shit on her sister or her friend for wanting to be married. A real feminist would support them even if they don’t agree because ultimately it’s not about you, its about their happiness and if being married makes them happy then who are you to say they are wrong.

Good points. I enjoy how polarizing the show can be, often because it's trying to create conversations. I'd like to share my two cents on these, but by no means consider myself an authority on the books or social issues. 1. Sienna's decision frustrated me, too. It seemed cold and cowardly. But I don't think she ever wanted to be in Anthony's world or even to marry him. The ethics of being a secret kept woman never seemed to bother her (she would cheat on the blonde guy at the drop of a hat, like she did at the boxing match). She was clear that she wanted security with a comfortable lifestyle. I believe she also had feelings for Anthony, but I don't think she ever considered marriage to him as a realistic option based on society rules. Ultimately, marrying him was outside her comfort zone, and she knew her lower class manners would create a high barrier that brought up a lot of shame. She wanted him to love her as she is, which I can respect, but also, she didn't love him enough to defy high society to be with him. I like this plot line because it's Anthony's first love, and he doesn't realize it at first but she is running away (something he recognizes in Kate later). Siena also had good reason to doubt Anthony, as you mentioned. This first failure initially makes him give up and focus only on what seems possible according to society rules, which I feel makes his side of season two even more compelling. The part of him that's given up finds another chance, and I just feel so happy for him when he finally kisses Kate for the first time. 2. I forgot that Simon was suicidal in the books. Why was he suicidal? I'll have to google. The show was pretty clear that he was detached and reckless, accidentally becoming his father instead of defying the dead man. That made Simon insufferable enough in my opinion, and Daphne was already doing his emotional labor throughout the show (not excusing or ignoring her SA of him). With everything going on in S1, I'm not sure doing justice to an actively suicidal main character would have been possible or believable, while also having a turn toward convincing romance. The romance of their story didn't convince me as it was, but the show was fun. 3. Marina's comment to Pen that Colin sees Pen as a sister gets a lot of viewers upset. I get it. I also get why Marina was doing what she did, and chose survival over friendship with Penelope. It provided good fuel for Penelope to make her own harsh decision of publicly outing Marina, which I also understand, but carried more chance of real harm to a friend than just hurting their feelings. I like that the show demonstrates how patriarchy hurts everybody, especially women who are turned on each other. 4. Eloise is a teenager afraid of being forced down a path of marital rape like so many before her. Her fear is legitimate, and she watches Daphne nearly miss an awful fate with Nigel only to land in an apparently depressed state in the early stages of her marriage to Simon. It's in those moments she speaks harsh truths to Daphne, and does what she can to help Daphne avoid Nigel. Eloise prompts Daphne to be herself instead of trying to be perfect so she can win at a game that's rigged against women. Eloise grows with the show, which is not to say all women grow up to want marriage, but that Eloise is not supposed to be a perfect feminist and has clearly demonstrated blind spots to the feelings of those close to her. She acknowledges last season she needs to get out of her bubble to learn more about the world. I look forward to her character arc.

Since y'all have asked for info you may not know/may have missed, and mentioned some confusion on the timeline, the London social season ran from spring through summer, though Bridgerton is a lot more loose with their timeline. In an interview last year it was mentioned that Bridgerton always feels like "perpetual springtime" though that they were considering changing that up for season 4. Also I doubt they bring this into season 4, BUT season 4 taking place in 1816, which irl was "the year without summer", and the year was all messed up and never got warm.

I think my frustration with Sienna is that she knew what she was doing and wasn’t forthcoming about any of it. I feel like the only time she says exactly what she wants is with Delacroix. But she never fully expresses it to Anthony until her last scene. Now, I could understand if Anthony made it his mission to not listen to her, but I feel like she entertained it. Now, Simon being suicidal in the books is not really a big thing either. He mentions that he’s doing things to actively seek out someone to facilitate his death but I don’t feel like it was a huge thing because Daphne comes in to the picture and it becomes mostly about her. But Simon was suicidal because of his father, he didn’t want the continuation of the Hastings so he felt like if he killed himself, then boom, no more of his father’s bloodline. I understand why Marina did it, but it’s the cold and calculated way of when she realizes Penelope’s love for Colin, she then deliberately says that hurtful speech and it’s the words she says I can’t accept because how dare you realize you stabbed your “friend” in the back and then twist the knife further. And nobody’s gonna make me change my mind on Eloise. Like I said, I’m operating on information that I’m privy to by way of the books. I’m holding off on it until it is said in the show. I kinda don’t like the “but she’s a teenager” thing because being a teenager doesn’t mean your completely absolved from bad behavior. Especially when you are aware of the society you live in and your actively bullying your sister for something she’s having to deal with. Martial rape was not ever anything she expressed fear about. Her fears were childbirth, not getting any life experience, and she expressed desire to be more educated. But again, I can’t say what her real fear because that could be a potential spoiler.

Marina doesn’t love Colin. It’s shown in s2, when both Colin and Philip annoy her. She doesn’t want to marry him because she thinks she’s not pregnant. But there’s added reason for her to marry Philip once she finds out she is still pregnant. Her son will inherit the title that is rightfully his.

Tiff

Ok but counterpoint, Colin approaches Penelope to credit her for him going on his tour, and Pen all of a sudden decides to tell him. I do dislike this trope too, it’s a little contrived why Pen would be hurt by Colin taking the trip he was always going to take and that she encouraged him to take. Also note Pen rejects a dance from him, which is NOT socially acceptable to do. After this he doesn’t ask her to dance again until they’re engaged (in S2 he tells her we’re dancing). From Colin’s perspective, it’d be hard for him to think she liked him romantically esp after she has rejected him.

Tiff

Oh! Also Colin looks toward Featherington house as he’s getting ready to leave before Pen looks out the window. Bees on Van Nuys is niche 🤣

I just realized on the rewatch that the queen was mad for being ignored in Whistledown - but Penelope and her family had been turned away so she could not report anything.

Amitha Anmalsetty

they mentioned the kids being named in alphabetical order very briefly in the first episode in the first whistledown issue, one of the girls mentions how whistledown mentioned their tradition as annoying or something, and violet mentions that her and edmund found it orderly.
