it’s actually really interesting how philoise antis genuinely believe they’ll be writing off that ship when eloise gets her season cause what then is the logical reason behind marina and phillip being introduced as early as s1 and phillip still being given some screen time, though minuscule, that shows you more about him in s2? especially set in romney hall where tspwl takes place? chris fulton is not a big enough star for them to bring in just for a fun little cameo not once but twice if he’s not gonna have a bigger role later on. and again not to mention that he is clearly cast as a future bridgerton spouse
addendum: there’s a scene in s2 as well where eloise speaks about knowing where romney hall is located. that’s a huge easter egg for her season
