Sanditon S3 -- She's not married yet. Alexander finds Charlotte on the cliffs 

I feel the same.

I agree!

100% agree!

Right!! or even Charlotte Heywood. Its acutally the only thing I don't like about this scene. Hasn't stopped me rewatching this episode multiple times since the 19th however. lol

YES! It would have been great to hear him say her first name just once particularly in this scene! Oh but the emotion in his voice from beginning to end, and his shocked reaction after she asks, "Then why didn't you?!" was just perfect!

Yes he should have channeled Sidney and the way he would say "Charlotte" with such longing!

With all due respect, I like that Colbourne doesn't call her Charlotte in this scene. I find it kind of sweet and very in character. He's doing this thing that is so beyond the bounds of propriety (confessing his love to an engaged woman), yet he still observes the rules by calling her "Miss Heywood." Colbourne is NOT Sidney, an outlier who often breaks the rules of decorum. Colbourne obeys the rules, even to his own detriment, and that's why it's so exciting (and sexy!) when he finally lets himself break them in this scene.

@@ashleyminihan370 you have an excellent point. I never thought of it that way before

Ralph who? I’m surprised after that kiss, Charlotte even remembers Ralph’s name 🤭 3:17

I agree! I've lost count of how many times I've watched this scene. I pursued a career as an actress when I was Rose's age many years ago and I know how difficult scenes like this one are to do and to do well! They both nailed this scene and knocked it out of the park for a homerun (American baseball phrase! 😊). Nice to see a gent who likes Sanditon! I went over to your YT channel, listened to your piano videos, enjoyed them and subscribed.

I loved that too. That headshake! He wasn't giving up! The thing I most loved about Colbourne after all he'd been thru is he fought for love! His courage to step out of his shell and fight for love! THAT dear friends is what real love does.

Jump his bones.😅

Honestly after seeing Colbourne (BLH) I can't even watch season one anymore. Sidney was just Meh...compared to Colbourne. HE is Charlotte's soul mate and IMO BLH is by far the better actor. Bye bye Sidney. I couldn't have been more thrilled at seasons 2 and 3. The finale! OMG! So satisfying to see everyone finally find happiness! I've seen a lot of period pieces and they are my favorite genre but Sanditon has come be to my top favorite! In every aspect. Perfectly done. Rose Williams was so good as were they all and that little girl Flora who played Leo! So great. Great future ahead for her. But to me it was BLH and his wonderful embodiment of Colbourne that made these last two seasons. That and the amazing chemistry he and Rose had. Thank you cast, directors...everyone. What a joy to experience! TY PBS! xoxo

@@ladyguenevere3501 Well said. I totally agree.

I wholeheartedly agree! Sanditon Seasons 2 and 3 are Masterpieces! Ben Lloyd- Hughes is phenomenal!

Maybe I am a romantic, but I love the love story. I can relate to Mr. And Charlotte. I have been there but came to futriion.

Totally disagree with u

I agree! This is the first time I saw BLH and was astounded at his talent! An amazing actor!

💖 would that true love would find us all!

😀😀😀😀

😂😂😂

No fr if you’re talking about Jane Austen novels/movies/series in general it seems like so many iconic things happen on a cliff bro. Also just in this series alone haha 😅

I’m so happy Ben fought to have Xander make that long walk 🥵🥵

It is beautiful.❤

Oh I so agree with you on that! I love reading everyone’s comments 😊

You were not alone 🤣❤

I was just going to say you are not alone! ❤

Same!

Me too!

We made a chorus!

Lol right! Gosh it’s what we all want to hear

Commitment to Ralph and her Parents. Honor was very important then . Even when Alexander professes his love ,he remains a proper Gentleman calling her Miss Heywood.

Ralph? Ralph who?

Yezzzz! She DEFINITELY kissed him! Bless her heart!

And my favorite part is when he nods his head back and forth when she tells him that she’s to be married❤️

Our girl definitely made the first move!🔥🔥 I loved that!! 🥰

With every fiber in her body she kisses him. Notice how Charlotte’s neck muscles tense up as she reaches UP to kiss her man! They couldn’t be closer, not a wisp of the cliff breeze is getting through their bodies at that moment. Wake up Charlotte!

I had to purchase defibrillators - for me and the tv! 🤭

He was going to, but she stopped him ...Parkers drawing room ...

@@jstypula1619 Naw..., I think in the scene at the end of Season 2 in the Parkers' drawing room, Alexander still lacked the confidence to spill out his feelings and once again was about to ask Miss Heywood to return as the girls' governess ---- a variation of his usual lame "the house misses you already." Charlotte rightfully stopped him from completing his weak request. After all, Charlotte had been badly disrespected. Alexander has a long way to go to redeem himself before our honorable and truly remarkable young heroine. I'm glad to see Charlotte wiser and not blindly swept up this time.

Actually, Ben Lloyd-Hughes has said in an interview that Alexander was coming to Trafalgar House to propose. You seem pretty sure of your opinions and also pretty harsh on the poor man. "Lame" and "weak" are not words I would use to describe Alexander Colbourne 🔥 If you delve deeper, you may find the compassion to understand that he has been very badly treated and is coming from only love for Charlotte, and wanting to protect her.

@Susan Firth jane austen wrote with her own take on morality right and wrong. Alexander, although not born of her name, I don't think would have been written differently... He and charlette are both of very aware people, I think, more than others on the show, why their journey to each other is complicated. Just my thoughts...there are so many layers here it is truly deserving of deeper explaration

If there weren't pickles to get out of there wouldn't be a show.

Fortunately we live in 2023 with options about controlling ourselves as we choose ...well most of us. Back then , they couldn't.. just say "YES"....... especially those in bad economical situations.They had to marry for money ....Love ? How many back then could marry for love? Certainly not from the working class....the odds.. those who married for love to those who couldn't afford to do that ...well was beyond measurement. The unfortunate of our era is that everything has taken the "ugly" road ,that some times for some people , there is an uncontrollable freedom of speech and way of acting as they please.Too much "yes's".

Perfectly said

Same 😂

I concur

Absolutely!❤❤

Yesss 😊❤

It’s already out?

@@maddissonstratford9407 Yes. Ordered mine yesterday.

Me too

Oh! My

Aw such a sincere deep loving reveal of his true feelings! Few words but with such power and poignancy...um, Ralph who?!! ❤

It goes back to season 2.after finding Leo in the militia camp with Lennox, Lennox tells Alexander that Charlotte is in love with him and that he better not fail her like he did his first wife, Lucy. That makes Alexander feel guilty and shy away from Charlotte, bury his feelings, and not tell her how he truly feels. He is afraid to hurt someone again. He then dismissed her as governess. Claiming that their relationship was inappropriate and that he took advantage of her. Charlotte tries to advocate for herself and says that no one took advantage of her. That she was a willing participant. But Alexander still dismisses her. He thinks he's being noble and must sacrifice his happiness for her sake. Charlotte is heartbroken. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wheatley tells him that "you'll regret this." Knowing that he's in love with her. Also, she caught them kissing earlier. And he says "it's for her own sake." To which Mrs. Wheatley puts her hand in Alexander's arm to try and comfort him. Then when Augusta confronts Alexander about why Charlotte left (she doesn't know what happened between them yet), she begs him to go after her. He goes to the Parker's, and I believe he was about to tell her how he felt, but Charlotte stopped him and told him that she was leaving sanditon. Charlotte said she could never be in any kind of relationship where someone showed her so little respect. Alexander leaves, hesitating at the door. It pains him to not tell her, but he doesn't. We then see Charlotte alone where she cries and says"enough!". After these events she returns home and gets engaged to Ralph because it's what her parents think is best for her. Also she's trying to move on and heal. That's why everyone is so shocked at Alison's wedding when she tells them she's engaged to Ralph. They know it's not right and that Charlotte is not really happy. Meanwhile Alexander goes off to Bath to try and get away from things and forget Charlotte, But he can't. And here we are in season 3 where they are pushed back together again.

@@amidthephantomsrose I think in Season 2 where Alexander goes to the Parker's to talk with Charolotte - he was going to propose to her.

@@renolittle4950 I agree..

@@amidthephantomsrose i guess I always felt that Lennox was insinuating something more than just that Alexander's love wasn't enough for Lucy when he said that all he did was comfort her when her husband could not. Perhaps you are right though, and this is all that Lennox meant. I guess I was really asking if there is any scene in which Alexander explains to Charlotte why he didn't tell her before, meaning does he explain to her how Lennox's comments affected her. I assuming that he doesn't actually explain this.

@@STwGrandma so far, I don't think that there has been a scene where he explains anything to Charlotte about how Lennox's comments affected him. I could be wrong, but I think the writer's are under the assumption that it's just implied and that the audience will understand and read between the lines. But I'm with Charlotte in this one "why didn't you!" I think it would have made things clearer for her and she wouldn't have been as hurt or mad at the situation maybe
