#bridgerton 3x01

[andmineisyellow]

I've seen the spoilers! I told myself I could hold off, but alas, I am weak. I won't be sharing details here, but there is a link in the replies. I just want to give some general thoughts. Everything is of course subject to change after I've actually seen the episode.

I really like a lot of the choices they've made. Most things I thought would happen did, but there are some big swings that I wasn't totally expecting, at least not in the first episode. For someone whose been quite worried about how they would handle certain aspects of the show, I'm acually excited to see where it goes from here. There also seems to be an attempt at trying book motivations with show motivations in a way that I think is really clever. I will probably talk about that more once the episodes are out.

I do wonder if there are a couple of things that should have been established at the end of last season though, but it's not a dealbreaker by any means. The only real criticism thus far is that the timeline is so unbelievably nonsensical at this point. I know we already knew this, but it's really gotten out of hand. I think the show probably should have done- at the very least- a two year time jump.

"Goodnight, Mr.Bridgerton."

"Do you not need a chaperone?"

"Spinsters do not need chaperones."

"You are not a spinster."

"I am in my third year on the marriage mart with no prospects to show for it. What would you call that?"

"Something wrong, Pen? Between us, I mean? I wrote to you, this summer, as I always do and...you did not respond. Admittedly, very few did, but... If you are going to make me say it out loud... I miss you."

"You miss me. You miss me, but you would never court me, is that correct?"

"Pen, I...."

"I overheard you...at my Mama's ball last season....telling everyone how you would never, ever court Penelope Featherington."

"Perhaps we should go where there's somewhere more private."

"Because I embarrass you. Of course, you would never court me. I am a laughingstock of the ton, even when I change my entire wardrobe. It just never occurred to me that you, of all people, could be so cruel."

We all talk about how Penelope is strong in the 3x01 "Mr Bridgerton" scene because she doesn't fold after his shameless flirting but do you know what is true strenght? This moment right here. Because that boy is TOUCHING HER BARE ARM and TAKING HER HAND and he says "you really are very good, you know?" in the SOFTEST VOICE KNOWN TO MAN. And like... i'm sorry. I'm sorry but WHAT THE FUCK. HOW DID SHE NOT IMMEDIATELY FALL TO HER KNEES? Penelope Featherington is truly the strongest out of everyone because sure, she is desperately pining for him - but at least she keeps it under wraps. I would not have been able. If Colin Bridgerton said something like that to me I would have had no choice but to hit my knees and ask him if he would be kind enough as to compromise me immediately.

I saw your post about who you think has been cast as Sophie. Is it okay to ask for some information on this, or your theory? I hope it’s okay to ask. At this point I’ll take any crumbs, and, theories for Sophie. I’m already waiting until after the season airs to see if she shows up. I can’t watch a whole season of boring Polin just to hope for a glance of my favs. I’m planing to wait until after so everyone can tell me what eps to avoid.

I debated on answering this because it's not the blog topic here. But you're like the 3rd person this week to ask me this question (the other 2 were via DM's lol) so I guess I will. Haha.

Now, keep in mind.... This is obviously a theory, I have ZERO proof other than the hints that all seem to add up to more than a coincidence.

My theory as who is playing Sophie Beckett is Jemma Moore:

In April of 2022, around the time the season would have been in preproduction, she posted this to her instagram (and it's mysteriously since been deleted):

In case anyone doesn't know, Gus Gus is a Cinderella character and ofc Sophie is a Cinderella inspired story. She also, oddly posted to her instagram stories about watching A Cinderella Story around that same time. Almost like she was getting Inspired b/c you know she wears a mask in that movie....

In June, she posted this to her stories:

And it's worth noting that the day before this, I was informed that Nicola posted getting her 3x01 script so....

On Instagram she follows Insight Management, which is Luke's talent agency. And they follow her back. She's not their client guys. Why follow that talent agency and vice versa unless you're working closely with one of their clients longer term? Like on a popular show?

Speaking of her talent agency.... They posted the S3 poster with this caption:

And she liked it? Which is funny b/c I checked their client list here out of curiousity. No one on their client list has been announced yet, and she's liking that post. I don't see why they would announce any clients just for playing random/unimportant characters this last minute to the show coming out, personally.

And finally, Jemma did a photoshoot within the last month that she posted to her instagram stories. She tagged a makeup artist named sarahhillmakeup on Insta. She has worked with SEVERAL Bridgerton cast ladies in press and photoshoots such as: Nicola, Hannah Dodd, Florence Hunt, Ruby Stokes, Golda Rosheuvel, Charithra Chandran They now follow each other back on Instagram.

Last last point: Also, the photoshoot Jemma was doing in the last paragraph, the set seemed to have a lot of 'art' themes to it. Like one of those hand held wooden paint pallets (or whatever they're called) and paintings on a couch, etc. And we all know who in the show Sophie's love interest is and what he's known for in the books/show.

So yeah...... That's my crazy conspiracy theory guys.
