Bridgerton Season 3 Part 2 LEAKS Are CRAZY! 

That doesn't seem real to me. What would be the point of changing the character sexuality at this point, We're already 4 episodes in.

also as a bisexual woman, I agree. I loved Michael and Francesca's story after John passed; why change it. this isn't the natural diversity we've gotten from the show so far; this is forced

@Vailjnovelist It doesn't make sense of veer that far from the books by completely changing someone's gender.

@@lilmama121 I agree. I was agreeing with the original comment saying it shouldn't be changed

Plus it would not look real at all as homosexuality was not the thing in regency era at all as we saw mr. Granville the painter who is gay but hides it are everywhere n say I'm risking my life for love it would be so bad if they change the sexuality of main character specifically when Michael n Francesca had a dynamic n complicated love story!!

Agreed.

Exactly. All the other men were at least loyal after engagement. Amd frankly all of them had sex after marriage so far. Colin and Pen going all the way before wedding is a bit weird, due to the time and since pen ismso inexperienced too

​@@gokcenakdag8189Kate and Anthony had sex before they got married

I totally agree. that's so fucked up. Pen might as well go with the guy offering her a real estate manager position for a wife at least he is up front with his arrangement, loveless but a happy one. There will be so much unhappiness in Pen's future with Colin seeking pleasure and distraction elsewhere when he is not happy with his wife. if she runs to Dealing's arms to talk about her unhappiness, how would he like it?

These is just a rumor

Knowing Shondaland, she can still make that happen for sure but change gender or storyline, etc to fit the woke narrative right?

We’re really not. The books are formulaic, predictable and aren’t that good tbh. (Wth does nibbling the corner of her mouth even mean??) We’re here for the show. The actors, the fashion, the interesting hairdo’s and the underlying social commentary.

​@@Khiarika1you have a point. For starters, I think a new character like Theo Sharpe would suit Eloise more compared to Philip Crane in the book. The rest of it, I just take it as it is, enjoy it for what it is 🤣

@@Khiarika1 if we’re not here to see the romances in the books realized, and the books are too boring why name the show after the books? They might as well call it something else and make their own plots. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am not happy they are changing the characters. It feels forced n unnatural.

I know. Really. I’m so frustrated and utterly annoyed at having to wait another 2 weeks and 6 days for part two. In the meantime I’m reading the second half of the book Romancing Mr Bridgerton which season 3 is based on…. So I’m getting my fill of the Pen/Colin love story now

Exactly!!

I soo agree with you!! Let's hope the leaks are not true

@@thenextseason I think its just to through fans off its probably sophie being introduced i dont think they would do that us i have no problem with other charcters being bi or gay its just miachel and francesas story is very deep

If that happens, I am so done.

I agree.

@@thenextseason it's not a leak. It's speculation made on somebody's choice to use term 'them'. Very weak one.

It's like they are robbing Violet of some of her grandchildren.

She names her son John to honor her first love. It's an important part of Francesca and Michael's story not to forget John, who they both loved very much

@@gloriathebooklover8693violet isnt owed grandchildren. Even if Francesca doesn’t have children. Violet will still have plenty grandchildren, she does have 8 kids….

@@pinktion3660 give me a break, Francesca all of her character was her desire of having children as she remains alone after John's death and now they freaking want her a lesbian! and they erase Michael who is the most loved husband in all that books. Be serious

​@kissofarose100 but it's not the books and they've changed a lot already. TV Francesca is not like that, she hasn't said a word about children and only wants to marry so she can stop going to balls

Yess! Lady Danbury for the save please!!!

Jess brown elk said confirmed they’re wont be 😢

you write so well

Esa relación tan bonita brillo x su ausencia casi si no fuera por 2 seg en pantalla

Yes, I will be through with Bridgerton if they do that.

I highly doubt they'd fully do that after being forced to stick more to the books then they were planning to by fans

considering what Francesca goes through...yeah DO NOT CHANGE IT

@@charlichrimes6893 I hope you’re right

​@@susansprouse1023they said one of the stipulations was that everyone will end up with their love interest from the book

I'm still thinking maybe the leaks are false lol. At least, I hope...

I completely agree with every word you said!

"carefully crafted"...that's very rare with Julia Quinn's male characters. I agree, Michael is one of the good ones, but "carefully crafted" is not it for some like Philip Crane or book Benedict which makes their love interests very shallow characters. It wouldn't be surprising if Benedict ends up with a man (so the whole "let's be my mistress" thing would make more sense as we saw how Brismley and Arnold were living their love) but Francesca? I agree, it doesn't suit her storyline

Totally agree with you a 💯

THIS!!!!! it's maddening!!!! I'm an author as well and it honestly drives me nuts!

I hope this is true! 🙏 I hate these brothel visits it’s making Colin out to be a player. When he’s so loyal and loving to Penelope in the books plus he writes a lot they’re not really covering that in the show. 😅

I'm sure there is a reason they left until the end of episode 6 for Colin to find out the truth. And the reason is to keep you engaged in the show and for Colin to get over it quickly. He loves Penelope and I'm certain Eloise will come into play as well. I'm sure there will be fight,shouting and tears but it is not possible for them to not make up from episode 7 until the end of episode 8. There is just no time.

@@nika-pt2pl yeah hes not really gonna be upset about it bc a) LW never really went after him and 2) he truly loves penelope.

Ugghh I hope you're right about the brothel and that it's not true. Him not going there should already be an indication that he is done with that life and even though he is mad at Penelope he would never do such a thing anymore. He always declares himself a gentleman and it's already been declared I think in episode 2 when he was talking about having these trysts and that aren't they gentlemen?

this!... the episodes 5 and 6 were send by netflix to reviewers, even though they could only talk about 4 episodes, some posted the reviews about the entirety of what they have seen and thats why there are so many leaks but 7 and 8 are lock down, since not even important press has watch them, so its just theories mostly created by people online, so substance

Don't remind me about them 😭

Because when Brimsley and Reynolds had a romance it was even earlier in history, 18th century, at that time even Lady Danbury being out in the ton was revolutionary. Apparently producers decided that in 19th century everything has changed even though in reality it didnt

Nobody said they would be out. If its really a women they would just live together as she inherits her husbands estate or something like that. Obviously there is no gay marriage in this show.

Yes, everyone assumes this is all 100% true... We don't know yet. I'm sure the ones about episode 5&6 are true because there's picture evidence but the ones for the remaining episodes are less certain

Good point.

Excellent point. I remember during the first two seasons there were rumors they would gender swap Sophie, so I’m not putting much stock in Fran’s partner being “Michaela.” Besides, I suspect Benedict’s season will probably be next followed by Eloise, so who knows how it plays out.

Absolutely ! If they wanted to spread the release, why not releasing 2 épisodes each week. Liike Disney does with its series...

@@mthepops Right?! That would be so much better.

PS: espcially if you Give early access to influencers. How could you avoid leaks! Maybe it is a part of Netflix's strategy. A shame in my opinion...

Yeap!

My thoughts exactly. If the spoilers are true, they’re giving us time to enjoy the first part of the season and then ruin it later

That makes sense. I expect Netflix to do that actually!

They saw what happened to the Witcher… Very bad decision to change the lore so much that Henry Cavill left…

Let's hope that Micheal is actually a man n we will be having a sneak peek of Sophie

I so hope you're right.

I feel like it’s a fake rumor bc they’re gonna finally make Benedict gay and they know they have a good amount of fans of Sophie but it’s the one that easily makes the most sense to change. I think they know that Michael is such a fan favorite that we’ll revolt as fans and they’re hoping the fake rumor will soften the blow, or at least that’s what I’m telling myself in denial bc I cannot take not having Michael they already took away John’s Scottish accent. Fcking sucks.

I feel exactly the same. I'm all about representation but the storyline wouldn't hit the same if Michael is a woman

They do that on purpose…. You will see all the polemic stuff and they will start talking about how people are not lgbt friendly…

I hope it's not true 😢

Let's hope so!

Yes , I also think so. I don't know from where did they get this ,that he is bi 🤦🤦like make a basic analysis of a situation. They have portraid him as a men h*** but not bi(I don't know if he is like this in the books?). If they do this it will be soooo disappointing

well... how confidently wrong

She could have kids with John

Yeah I don't see a happy ending for her at all if Michael is a woman :(

Historically this did happen, they would just be known as room mates. She is very introverted so I think it would work to go undetected. She would have freedom as a widow like Danbury and they would live in a huge country estate like Mr Darcy. She would have children with John before he passes. I just wish they chose Eloise or Cressida for this story, I hate the death/cousin plot line!! 🤢

She never had children with John she miscarried.​@TC-ku4vv

In love, engaged and having already had intimate relations with Penelope, I don't see him going there either. Even very angry and hurt

I hope so 😭

Thanks for watching ❤️

YES they do…. And they go on to have 4 children…. 2 girls and 2 boys

THEY HAVE TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING OR IT WOULD BE THE WORST SEASON EVER

I don't want Colin to be mad at Pen, if he is, make it short-lived.

I totally agree with you. Seasons 1 and 2 were done so well. Seems Season 3 is off the rails. I think Colin teaching Pen how to get a husband should have been milked a little longer before the carriage scene. The writers just didn't give us enough time to see their romance develop from friends to lovers. They should stop experimenting with Francesca and Benedict characters for click bate. I will stop watching and just read the books again.

Exactly.. we are definitely getting on screen wedding because Nicola's hair stylist confirmed she was doing her wedding look. Episode 7 Joining of hands - wedding Episode 8 into the light - planning the big reveal to the society (possibly because being blackmailed by Cressida )

@nika-pt2pl my thought is big fight start of episode, mirror scene at end. That way we will get a reward for watching them fight

@@justjonesy0815 Also rumored wedding night that maybe be another mirror scene. Because when asked in a recent interview about the piece of furniture they broke where the interviewer asked if it was a mirror. They looked at each other then said there may be a mirror in the room (So not the first time, because that would definitely be a major focal in the scene, not just in the room) So maybe it happens in the 2nd mirror scene. That that is when they broke a piece of furniture. I also recall Nicola saying that it was during the most intensive of the sexy scenes they did. I would think their wedding night could be that. Given that it would be them celebrating their married happiness, that they are finally married.

​@justjonesy0815 I'm just trying to understand this logic : if Colin needs 2 episodes to get over it and they don't talk together then why would they do reveal at the end of episode 6 not 4 or 5. I just cannot imagine him not being over that crap by the end of episode 7 otherwise where they going to fit wedding and married polin etc.

@gloriathebooklover8693 when you look at photos, it appears as the first time is during the day, when they check out the house, but in the teaser it is nighttime so that's when I think it will be the mirror scene. I am excited to see what piece of furniture they break!

🤣

That's a good perspective!

I feel the same

It is very bold. I’m all for representation but the idea does seem to strain historical believability. However, they handled Francesca SO well in part 1 that I’m willing to give them all the artistic license and reserve judgment until I actually see it. I’m not queer, happy to be an ally, but I also wouldn’t presume to speak for the community myself, especially absent actually seeing the content in question.

@@ltdowney It will definitely be interesting to see. I'm kind of wondering whether they will actually go with the second match opening presenting as a couple, especially after we saw how Brimsley and his lover had to hide their relationship in Queen Charlotte. I know that in North America, they had something called a Boston Marriage, which was when two unmarried women would move in together after a certain age. And while in some cases, this was just two friends choosing to live together rather than alone, there is evidence to suggest that some of these Boston marriages might have actually been women who were together-together. I wonder if maybe they will shine a spotlight on an English equivalent to that? But I don't know if that would deviate things too much from the original story that book fans will be watching for.

Pretty sure it will be Benedict, then Eloise and then Francesca. In the books she is married for 2 years already before getting a new love interest. It would make sense they don't marry because even back then people could be gay. Francesca is a widow by then and doesn't have to marry anymore. So making Michael a woman would work. Michael's sister and his widow being close won't be suspicious at all and no one will nag Francesca to marry again.

Also how could they allow it to be. That Francesca having children wouldn't happen then. Poor book children won't be in existence in the show that is really sad.

Francesca names her son after John. Please let John be born 😭

@@teresahoffman7657 If they can change Michael into Michaela, then they can change her miscarriage into a healthy baby boy. No problem there.

@@gloriathebooklover8693 Well, not having children isn't always the end of the world, especially for an quiet-loving introvert like Francisca, but there can still be children born out of her wedding with John. In the books she is married for 2 years with him, so there is plenty of time to get pregnant.

The books are so much better they have changed so much tv series once you read the books you won’t want to watch the show

Yes, I said I believe the leaks but I'm also leaving the door open for other possibilities. Maybe the leaks won't end up being true...

I feel the same way.

People fell in love with Shonda's Benedict cause he was very queer coded in season 1 which baited the queer viewers and people who like mlm storylines. The other characters I agree (except Eloise, she's also very different from her book counterpart)

@@alexdelaloire8739 Imo, Benedict can be bi in general, but end up with a woman, Sophie. It's not like queers never settle down or fall in love for the rest of their lives?

They can do whatever they want. If you don't want to watch, then don't watch.

@@sabrinatai31 oh shut up and kick rocks, it’s not that serious.

Hmmmm

I agree with you. They are not supposed to include such changes in the stories.

Because it’s the trendy thing to do right now.

I wish they would stop forcing the trans/bi agenda. Its not needed. Its not in the books.

Because why not? A bunch of straight cis white people is boring as fuck

They will make Benedict bi, Eloise bi and Benedict will marry an autistic black lesbian with 1 arm and 4 legs! It's just the trend but I really hope that this will get over soon, they are ruining every movie/tv series with this forced inclusivity 😢

💯💯💯💯 Just leave the introverts alone!!

😂

Don’t worry. They end up together

@@Erin.56 well, I mean the show and the books are different though, so I guess we shall see

THEY HAVE TO END UP TOGETHER OR I WILL DIE

I would love a show about Edmund and Violet 😍😍

If they gender swap they are gonna loose viewership and we are gonna be outraged. Everyone loves Michael and in that era how could you be openly gay/lesbian?????

This is not 100% certain guys. It's a supposed leak. Let's not immediately believe it

as some one with undignosed enddtriomisis and the negative feelings of doubting i can have babys i was hoping to see that , i honestly think its sophies introdduction or its to keep fans from finding out what really happens

If its the same as the book then nothing new or interesting in the show

Just to create chaos I guess

Thank you :)

Yes I think it should have been Eloise

I would still watch it but it would be too much I agree

I am with you!

Let's hope not :(

My favorite couple this season ❤️

Everything what she said in this video about episodes 5&6 is true but nobody knows 7&8 they kept it a big secret so I'm not sure who came out with brothel and other rumours. We shall see

@@nika-pt2pl no I meant no ha just somebody else made a video talking about those episodes

@@nika-pt2pl I think those rumors are from people making stuff up to upset people. To cause a uproar. Episodes 7 and 8 hasn't been shown to anyone. They are total secret. When a couple of the interviewers that got screeners for episodes 5 and 6, Nicola said wow, not everyone gets to get to see them all (meaning the only ones available for screeners. She totally implies that that would be all anyone would get. As far as it goes for any screeners. The proof that those rumors are false is the fact that they said that Colin doesn't get over it until episode 8. When they get married in episode 7. The title alone confirms that and Nicola being totally sappy in how romantic this season is "It's really, really romantic", "it's truly romantic"... His reaction based on those rumors doesn't seem romantic. Also there is Nicola hinting that Colin secretly loves that she is Lady Whistledown. I think the rumors are rooted from Luke comparing Polin with Ross and Rachel at how they have a rollercoaster getting to their happy ending. The rumor starters are thinking he means exact paralleling them like Ross' fling during the break thing. But Luke isn't implying that. He is most likely meaning it is just the timing thing. That they have hurtles and obstacles to get through. That was first the suitor/Debling in part 1, then in part 2 the Lady Whistledown reveal and on top of that the bounty on Pen's head and Cressida's blackmailing. With everything they don't have time to do all the stuff these people claim happen in those eps AND have what we know is going to happen base on the teaser trailer info/legit leaks from eps 5 and 6, major book parts/obvious plot points based on the titles of the episodes. I don't even believe the whole Michaela thing, because it would be too big a difference to the books couples. Especially given that it would be like Shondaland are robbing Violet of her grandchildren given from Francesca and Michael's union. Taken those children with Bridgerton blood out of existence. Even adoption would be out of the question, because things like the Earl title and stuff like that would go by bloodline. Would a Michaela get a title? Could any adopted children take the title in the future? I doubt it. Also didn't they just say that Victor/John said cousin not sister? I don't believe Julia Quinn would be okay with the erasure of such central characters. Felicity Featherington? yeah, sure. A main love interest and any Bridgerton siblings' children? No way! Shondaland have plenty side characters that she can make part of the LGBT + community not the main characters that already have set character details. It smells of the same as the people hoping for a total change in who Benedict ends up with. Hoping they would make him end up with a man. That would be a erasure of Sophie and Benophie's children. People are forgetting that they can't change who the main characters end up with due to the books. The show tie in books would then be false advertisement. They have to say the couples names at the bottom. Daphne and Simon's story/Anthony and Kate's story/Penelope and Colins story... They can't put Benedict and Samson (?)'s story (< I tried making a male version of Sophie's name.) and then Francesca and Michaela's story because then inside it says the actual names Sophie and Michael. Lol and what are they going to change the title of Francesca's book too when they release the show tie in book? "When She Was Wicked"? Oh yeah, Julia and her publishing company would love that. Same with people wanting Eloise to end up with Theo and not Sir Phillip. They can't have her and Theo on the show tie book cover with the Eloise and Theo's story titled "To Theo with Love" with Sir Phillip inside of it.

@@nika-pt2pl Also are the people claiming the episodes 7 and 8 info the same as the people who leaked the legit leaks from episodes 5 and 6? It's important to find out this stuff. I know person who posted this video is saying they are said by three different people so she's inclined to believe them. But what if the 2nd and 3rd person saw the 1st person and is just claiming it's true because they want to look like that are in the know too for clout. But the 1st person isn't necessarily telling the truth. False info are planted sometimes. Not all leaks are legit. We need to investigate the sources. All three of them. Someone go do research/investigate. I am not on reddit or any of those kinds of places.

I think they get married an episode seven, but he’s not quite over it entirely! But he still loves her so they get married!!

I remember the day I saw the GOT leaks...😢

Hi, thanks for your comment! But these are not my predictions. These are some supposed leaks and spoilers I have been seeing on social media. I don't know if they'll end up being true, especially the ones about episode 7 & 8.

@@thenextseason My fault. I thought since you posted it, that you were owning what you posted. My bad. I find that the show only takes tidbits from the actual books. So it will be interesting to see what actually happens.

Then how about you stick to the books.

@@RowanFey Or how about if you want same sex couples in a period drama then write a whole other story..

Probably really anxious, I mean makes sense!

@sharonzion8557 Well...if I had Colin leaning into me for a passionate kiss, I would probably need a paper bag to prevent myself from hyperventilating! Good point!!

Didn’t they do all of that breathing in romance novels….

Corsets are hard to breathe in when you’re anxious 😥 😬 . Or particularly unsettled. I have worn some, and if you have them on long enough, it feels like being strangled by thorns

I really hope this is true. I hear people saying the leaks are coming from certain people in Netflix offices who already watched the episodes, but that's not realiable either. I agree that we'll hear more probably soon

@@thenextseason just dont make yourself crazy about it, we will find out pretty soon so take it easy and lets also take a second to observe how we talk about this, we got trans people in the fandom aswell and I bet it doesnt feel great reading "this is horrible! I will stop watching if that is the case!" over and over again

@@miikumon992 It has nothing to do with that. They love the books. Stop putting phobias into everything when someone has a different opinion.
