Wait. I am stuck on the 250$ per day. That is even less than the 1200$ he got for HOM. Guys. This is rather insulting. I hope this is not the case and I am reading it wrong.
It is literally a 24 day shoot. Do they provide room and board?
On the other hand. It probably is more than what he got to promote the trailertrash establishments in Cyprus.
Ok. Hear me out. A Polin edit with the Romeo and Juliet fishtank song (to lazy to look it up) .
I have been thinking... did Penelope reach her pinnacle in the first carriage scene or were they interrupted. This is what I was thinking about in traffic yesterday.
Because. I have always thought that she didn't. But I think that one part was it IYKYK and then the lazy kisses. (This is just for a fun discussion)
Did she?
Yes of course
She was almost there
Nope, it was just too short of a ride.
And then. If she did, was Colin upset that he didn't get to finish what he started. That his intention was to go all the way?
I was wondering is Colin might step up next season as the only Bridgerton Brother of age, head of the Feathington house, as the chaperone for his unmarried sisters to all the balls/promenades. Penelope heavily pregnant with baby No 3 would stay at home working on her novels. That dynamic kind of makes sense from what we have heard. But it might just be wistful thinking again.
Listen. This is very peculiar. Shondaland posting 2 articles about Colin's travels. Then included Nicola in a fashion article. Luke and Nicola and the adjacents ramp up SM interaction. Lots of out and about pics no-one knows when it was taken. But notice, no paparazzi. Still funny how they were called out heavily last year with the lime bikes and then nothing.
I was just thinking on my drive home that the fact that Bridgerton/Shondaland haven't asked them to end these ridiculous relationships is the main reason why I think they are behind it.
It is an extremely, triggering situation all around. That damages both brands Bridgerton and Polin. The only reason to continue is because you are obsessed with doubling down. Will not admit what a shitshow it is.
Even if the relationships were real. It makes sense that Bridgerton/Shondaland would like to keep everything on the DL.
It is literally not helping anyone. It attempts to help 🐜&🐀. But we have gone too far down the rabbit whole. They are blocked by most now. We just comment about it in our spaces and laugh at them. It really fucks with the algorithm if people block or report posts. Anything 🐜&🐀 makes me uncomfortable.
Tell me you are overcompensating, by totally overcompensating.
I do find it humorous that Nicola sold her gay roommate as this great young actor and now it is up to her to make him seem appealing. The funny thing is. When the teenboppers that might find him attractive in the new show google him, they will find out who he is publically dating. A woman in her 40s. Their other option is that he is gay. That is the two public narrative for Jakey boy.
After the drama of his last play, it makes sense why Nicola had to jump into her best Kris Jenner mode, hop on a plane and go and manage Jake in Australia. I can only imagine the damage control she had to do. The promises she had to make.
And her posting the poster for the show on her IG platform to her 6mil followers seems to be part of the deal. No comment on how the show is or how good he is. Just an acknowledgement.
At some point her connection to him will begin to damage his prospects.
Anyway, you do you Nicola. The second hand embarrassment is a little too much tbh.
Just a quick note for a Saturday. ..
Guys, you are seriously reaching. I have not seen one comment anywhere stating he should rather date Nicola, or wishing for Lukola or anything even related to Nicola in anyway. Actually for that matter no Polin comments or even Colin.
Just because you don't like criticism towards Luke and his unemployment, perpetually on holiday, preference for young girls. Doesn't automatically make it a Lukola... wait what did that one gen Zer call me, mentally ill. For a generation who has a reputation for clutching their pearls, needing safe spaces for their exaggerated feelings and offended egos, I find it rich. As a millennial who has actually worked on having a healthy mental balance, please find a mirror.
Seeing a post from an actor, a mutual millennial, you wish success and career growth for, you get frustrated because the only thing standing in his way of success is himself. Is normal. Not mentally ill. I like a lot of his fans, care that he is flushing his opportunities down the toilet.
I don't care that he posted 2 pics of 🐜 on his IG or that he tagged her. Her desperation over the last two weeks to get attention was so obvious, it was quite embarrassing. How I read it was, she begged Luke to make a post to boost her SM. Because, unlike Luke who has talent and acting, she as a micro "influencer" any work she might get is wholly dependent on her SM. It is kind of funny it barely worked. She gained less than 100 followers and her engagement dropped from 13% to 10%.
I am sure a garage startup clothing brand will pay her the 500£ to do a photo shoot. Unfortunately, it will do more harm than good for the brand.
Was it damage control for the blind. Very likely, but my thought is it was more killing 2 birds with one stone. The desperate posting from 🐜 and her dance crew to create some buzz for their performance. Pics I am sure was captured over Easter, needed to be addressed. It made it seen like Luke has been in Cyprus for the last few months. Unemployed, living off of 🐜 family, providing some appearances to pay for room and board. He wanted to make it clear that he was only there for maybe a long weekend.
The blind, was only a rumour. I think people put too much weight to it. CDAN knows anything Luke or Nicola drives up engagement. They like 🐜 and 🐀and their crews are using Luke and Nicola, and the fandom obliges.
You are all just pawns in the game and you fall for it everytime.
I do think Luke is up for some roles. And he is trying to keep his narrative neutral. No-one is paying attention to his comment section. He is not deleting comments, because it is driving up engagement.
Yes, I personally don't think it was a smart move. But I can see it from his side.
This tug of war between the 20 somethings and 30 something on who gets to own Luke is ridiculous. He is 33, coming up on 34. He owns himself. He can pursue his life goal of being a Temu Leonardo Dicaprio. When he inevitability consciously decouple from 🐜, she be around 25. And that will just make this whole thing even funnier. He desperately need to find someone his own age and fix this mess.
One thing for sure is that Luke is not going to the gym. He looked frail and his Colin physique is something of the past. Must be because there is no hope for some naked filming with his bestie. Must be why Nicola is also slowly approaching baby no 3 rumours. There. I finally brought her up.
Do you think the new role for Luke in Savanna is legit?
Yes
No
It is just wishful thinking.
It was, but not anymore.
I am just so confused. This last post did nothing to fix the narrative that he is perpetually on holiday.... unemployed and that he preys on young girls. It actually made it so much worse. Even the very casual Bridgerton fan is not buying it. My confusion, who is advising him? That person is doing him dirty.
Luke is totally giving creep vibes.
This was a mistake. He needs to move on from Cyprus and all of her citizens.
If his new team is behind this, there is no hope.
Damage control. It is just so funny. Those pics were so sad Luke. Unmoved. I really feel like someone needs to bitch slap you across the face to snap you out of this delusion. "Quick reset" or living on my PR GFs fathers coach because I can't find real work.
Shonda getting hands on in the editing room for S4....
So I did a deep dive after reading a comment about Shonda getting involved personally in the editing of S4 and it all makes sense now. How Colin's head got cut off in many scenes. How Pen and Colin were out of focus in many others. How their interaction was limited to Lady Whistledown. How so many Polin scenes were cut, including a pivotal character arc dance sequence.
That blind about the showrunner blacklisting Luke, we thought it was Jess, but was all confused as how a first time showrunner would have so much influence/power. It makes more sense that it was Shonda.
But the question remain. Why?
Why was Luke upset the night of papgate/Part 2 premiere. Fans spotted an interaction between Shonda and Luke. Why did he post that Cressida quote about not letting someone ruin their night.
Have we been right all this time that the adjacents were a Shondaland orcastrated PR narrative that was badly executed and it upset Shonda.
The thing is. I have always thought that Jess had a little crush on Nicola, and she has said in interviews how Colin is her favourite Bridgerton Brother.
Shonda's influence on S3 is what upset the fans the most. Things that have been addressed in interviews. Shonda pushing the brothel scenes and the ick flirting scenes. Both damaging to Colin's character.
Why have we not seen anything promoting Michaela. Why is she not receiving the same support Yerin got. Why do we have 3 article about Yerin in a play that has nothing to do with Bridgerton, but nothing about Masali? This is all very suspicious.
This is a mess. Honestly. I am not surprised.
Shonda is known for being petty. What happened behind the scenes to turn her on Nicola and Luke?
I continue to feel bad for perpetually on Holiday Lukey who can't find other work than an extra on a has been show. Don't come at me that he is confirmed for that movie of a nepo baby who didn't pay her crew on her last project. It is very possible that Luke liked her post because he likes her work and she liked the comment that he will be in her next project to gain some traction. Because it has been almost a week with no official post, that doesn't make sense in the world of SM not to use the buzz.
Luke seen looking pissed as hell, smaller than we have seen him in years. Maybe Gym fees in Cyprus is just to expensive for him right now. Are they like crashing on Daddy trailer trash's couch for the summer holidays.
Wow. That was a tad harsh. Yeah. I know. But like. Dude. If you hang out with trash, you shouldn't be surprised.
Dear Nicola. You be spinning. I am sad to say, you have lost most of your sparkle. The hellmouth of young up an coming stars sucking the last bit of shine from you (Buffy reference).
At least you are working. At least you can still fund their concerts, expensive meals and have enough connection to hook them up. We shall see how long it lasts.
I am so sick of these kids calling any Lukola a "mommy" insinuating we could be his mom. The age gap between me and Luke is less than him and 🐜. And never not once have I ever thought this guy is for me. In my mind, Luke is as off limits as my best friend's guy/bf/husband. I love the lovestory between Luke and Nicola. I enjoy his acting and want him to succeed. Yes I think he is hot. I have eyes. But very similar how I think the guys from Off Campus is hot.
I did something stupid. I decided to leave Tumblr. Polin is over. Bridgerton is no-longer for me. So I decided to unblock everyone and leave them to comment until their hearts are content.
But, alas, I am not that strong. So I stayed for the Lukola community. A community that has gone dormant. But not dead. So I check in.
The onslaught of comments are ridiculous. Now I am back to blocking. Lesson learned.
I missed the movie news about Luke. It is not on any mainstream media/SM. Can someone please send me the tea.
Also. I am very happy that Nicola is going to also be in a movie. The very small hope of having maybe a scene or two of Polin is just slipping away completely.
Anyway. That's my thoughts on a Friday.
Colin Bridgerton & Penelope Featherington ↳ Bridgerton Season 4 (Part 1)
Best part of S4
Sometimes I just think of Colin's (cough cough Luke) POV when he is looking down at Pen (cough cough Nicola). It is a very unique POV. Her light blue eyes and massive let's go with heart. You really can't blame the man for falling for her.
I just adore the version of Luke when he is in his full masculinity around Nicola. Strong, protective, kind and considerate. I know a lot of toxic men see that as weakness because they come up short. But that is truly what all woman want. Man I am obsessed with his arms.
I went back and looked at some of the WT interviews. Luke very often looked like he was struggling to keep it together. Whatever was going on between them when the cameras were not there must have been glorious.
OUTLANDER: BLOOD OF MY BLOOD (2025 -)
1.02 S.W.A.K (Sealed With A Kiss)
Listen, I almost died laughing. These fucking kids aging 🐜 to 25, to make the age gap 8 years and not 9. They know about the theory that your brain is fully developed at 25.
8 years, 9 years. Still gross and wrong. Also, she looks about 40. When we warn the Gen Zs that sun damage is a real thing, they don't seem to get it.
Funny how millennials all still look so young and the Gen Zs jump from teens to midlife.
For everyone obsessing about what 🐜 posts and where. If Luke is not actually in the shot, let her be. We want her to find her way to employment so that she will exit this weird ass arrangement she has with Luke and Shondaland. You are working for her talking about it in these spaces, because curiosity killed the cat, yeah know.
My question is more. Where is Luke?
And no. I don't want a stolen pic of him on holiday. I want a actual post from him. At this point even a brand colab would do.
Nicola having a substantial role in Murders just makes her comment about not being in s5 that much even more real.
