Any though of what next in second 2 of the bridgertons?
So this is like a mix of what I want to happen and what’s actually realistically going to happen:
I went character by character and naturally this got very long...
Anthony/Kate as the main focus. Developing Kate, Kate/Edwina/Mary, and establishing Anthony’s backstory - I wouldn’t mind seeing some Edmund flashbacks as well, like we saw with SImon
Nonwhite Kate (preferably darkskinned, passing the paper bag test). I’ve been beating this drum for a while and I won’t shut up about it, but nonwhite love interests for the rest of the series (Penelope being the exception.) (I have thoughts on Phillip but I’m ignoring that for now.)
The Pall Mall scene is a given. I personally desperately want the library scene during the thunderstorm.
Benedict: Canon! Bisexual! Please! The first couple of episodes are about him realizing he’s attracted to men, then an episode or two about him realizing he can be attracted to both men and women. And then, in the finale... during a Masquerade ball... we meet the lady in silver. (Would I love if its the man in silver? Yes. Will that happen? Probably not.)
Colin: So I’ve been rewatching S1 and I’m pretty positive they’ll have Colin return from Greece with a ‘glo up.’ We saw glimpses of his little shithead-ery, but now it’ll be amplified a bit more. More flirting, more meddling, more charming. I don’t want him to have a storyline actually - I want him to be a supporting character for other people. Meddling with Anthony/Kate, supporting Benedict, helping out Daphne, chaperoning Eloise around. I suspect minor Colin/Penelope crumbs - them being friends, Penelope not outwardly pining as much, Colin thinking it was a crush she’s over. Oblivious, supporting character, meddling Colin.
Daphne: Her (and Simon) would mainly be there to show up and mess with Anthony. I could see a small subplot about them adjusting to parenthood and somehow tying that into a friendship with Kate.
Eloise: Honestly... I have no idea where they take Eloise. Realistically, she’s out in society, probably looking into Lady Whistledown more. I could actually see her figuring it out in S2 and S3 having some of that fall out. What I WANT to happen is her realizing maybe she’s queer, bonding with Benedict about this, maybe straining her relationship with Penelope for a bit. What I absolutely want is for her to strike up a pen pal situation with Marina (which is how we check in with her/Phillip - through letters.)
Francesca: I just want her to show up a bit more. I don’t need a plot line for her or anything (unless they skip 2 years ahead in which case, gimme John!) but I do want them to establish her as the independent, quiet one who’s introverted and shit.
Gregory: Just hanging out. Chilling. Doing his thing. Would love tiny easter eggs of him looking up to his siblings and their romances.
Hyacinth: Also just hanging out, chilling. Continuing to be the busybody that she is. Would absolutely love if at some point they establish her visiting Lady Danbury (or, like someone else posted - introducing Gareth much younger and letting them be childhood frenemies.)
Penelope: I want her to grapple with her guilt. Feeling so bad about Marina that she intentionally goes out of her way to write articles helping people. I want her to kinda think “Colin cost me my friendship so he doesn’t deserve me right now” and even if she’s always going to love him, try to pretend she’s over him so she be friends instead. All her friendship with Eloise, of course. I would also love to see her and Lady Danbury’s relationship established too.
Lady Danbury: just being her incredible self. All the interactions with Bridgertons and Bridgerton-adjacents. I also want the second of last episode of every season to have a married ladies party so each heroine can party. So jot that down.
The Queen: this one character that I’m really indifferent about. They’ll probably use her role to put stakes for the other characters and that’s fine. As long as anything isn’t actively ruining anything then I’m pretty okay with it all.
