For those celebrating Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Samhain, however you would like to call it, or for those who just want an excuse to dress up as a Bridgerton c...

There seems to be a Bridgerton show girl gang we would move out of the way for and we cannot wait to see their dynamic!  Do you think Lady Danbury is a sponsor of the Sharmas or did they meet with each other at the carriage drop off? Anthony, Benedict, and Eloise does not look like they wanted to meet someone at the party, but Violet looked excited.  As excited as seeing Eloise looking even more g...

How many times have you watched the Netflix Tudum Bridgerton season two sneak peak ?  In case your time is limited, Nicola Coughlan, Charithara Chandran, Simone Ashley, and Jonathan Bailey are available for you at timestamp 57:32.

By popular demand, Laine and Meg from Plot Trysts are back! We are curious about John with the unknown surname.  Is he a Stirling?  Is he connected to the Featheringtons?  Is he an imposter? Edmund Bridgerton was casted well!  There was low key confirmation a secondary season one cast member will be in season two. Although production did not get the green light to build a structure, we hope it was...

And of course, 12 nominations from the Emmy’s! Nicola Coughlan won best the Rising Star award from the Irish Film and Television Awards.  Plus, much thanks to her sharing photos of the cast out in the wild. We think it’s...

Nicola Coughlan talking about corgis got us excited.  We can’t wait for his bees-in-the-wild picture debut! Martins Imhangbe aka Will Mondrich, our favorite pugilist, started training again.  Will Colin be back in town to train with him in season two? Our Lady Danbury, Adjoa Andoh, and our Duke of Hastings, Rege-Jean Page, received Black Reel Awards nominations. Simon Basset even got a nomination...

The Bridgerton cast are still making their award season rounds.  Phoebe Dynevor and director Julie Ann Robinson talked about bringing a modern flair to the Netflix series.  Rege-Jean Page was on the Hollywood Reporter Drama Actor Roundtable and having a great time with four other men. The TV Choice Awards short list is revealed and Bridgerton scored three nominations including Best New Drama.  Pho...

The Virgin BAFTA for Most-See Moment win may have gone to a well-deserving performance, but Golda Rosheuvel and Nicola Coughlan were giving us lewks! Phoebe Dynevor was giving us a lewk on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Rege-Jean Page was on Variety’s Actors on Actors with “The Crown” star Emma Corrin, each talking about their shows. As the Bridgerton actors film, Nicola Coughlan and Luke...

Phoebe Dynevor and Nicola Coughlan were doing the Emmy Awards rounds.  Hopefully the show will be nominated for all categories applicable.  We and the Queer Eye show hosts are open to that idea! Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers answered more fan questions including what had happened to Daphne’s diamond necklace from the prince on the Bridgerton: The Official Podcast .  They also mention what the show...

Bridgerton is on the National TV Awards long list waiting for us to vote .  We have until June 4th at 11pm (BST).  The show is up for the Best New Drama, and both Phoebe Dynevor and Rege-Jean Page are up for the Best Drama Performance. Rege-Jean Page is on a roll!  He’s the Tell Tale TV Awards Favorite Actor in a Cable or Streaming Drama Series (Final Round) winner! Lucky lady, journalist Angeliqu...

We’re wondering too!  Nicola, who manages the Whats App group account for the Bridgerton cast was asked if Rege-Jean was booted out because he’s not coming back. Last chance to vote for “Bridgerton: Penelope is revealed as Lady Whistledown” to win the Virgin Media Must-See Moment of 2020. Voting closes at 5:00pm (BST) on 24th May . We have until 8:00pm (EST) Thursday 27th May to vote for Rege-Jean...

What’s your favorite Colin/Food moments?  Is it when he’s have tea at No.5?  Actor Luke Newton tweeted the question the fans delivered! Congratulations to Rege-Jean Page for his 2021 MTV Movie & TV Awards win.  Leslie Jones did a hilarious Bridgerton skit and even suggested what Lady Whistledown could do. What we could do is vote for “Bridgerton: Penelope is revealed as Lady Whistledown” to wi...

We all love the first two casted in the show #PenEloise, but have you seen #Penedict (or #PenBen)?  They’ve been hanging out and taking the cutest photos! PhotoOps would be fun with handsome men.  Can we get in on finding iconic men as our careers with Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers?  Award season continues!  We can vote every day until midnight of May 21st for the TV choice awards .  Pay particula...

Awards and reveals! An award for awesome listeners should be a thing.  Thank you to Alice who brought out some buzzy clean-up topics: gooseberry pie, the Hare and the Hound, and Madame Delacroix. Helen Byrne wins the Aspire Design and Home magazine Best Use of Floral Design Award for her beautiful settings in the show.  Plus, Bridgerton won the Best Costumes to Enhance Décor award. Toni needs to l...

We’re officially in the short episode domain! Hopefully, Nicola Coughlan and Kim K’s budding friendship continues to grow.  We can relate as two fan girls fangirl about something they love!  Wouldn’t it be great to get Lady Gabrielle  Bridgerton-Wade in on the conversation? The conversation may shift to getting more romance novels adapted.  Like Shonda Rhimes said on the latest Bridgerton: The Off...

The season ends with the Hastings Ball and the end of one vow to fulfill another! It’s official, Bridgerton has started filming according to Lady Danbury, Adjoh Andoh.  Plus, the show has been given the green light for seasons three and four!  We hope to see more of the bond between Eloise and her favorite brother in season three, Benedict’s story!  At the meantime, Eloise’s theory had her asking...

We’re breaking down an emotional episode and we had some breaking news! We now have a total of five new cast members and hopfully we get a Newton soon because Chris Van Dusen is also a part of the Newton Fan Club!  All of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series have made the New York Times Bestsellers Monthly list, and six of eight are in the top ten!  It seems that Avon books will be producing the books...

She’s finally here… Edwina has been announced!  The lady with the beguiling eyes, Charithra Chandran, will be playing Kate’s younger half-sister as mentioned in an article from Deadline.com .  The article also mentioned a new nob(ility) to the books named Jack.  Our minds were whirling coming up with too-early-to-tell theories regarding who he’ll be connected to.  As requested, we dive into the ly...

Wendy and Toni are back with happy beginnings turning to scandalous endings! The Duke and Duchess of Hastings could barely keep their hands off each other as they honeymoon at Clyvedon.  Their affections have been seen and/or hear by the staff in various rooms of the castle.  Their many trysts inside and outside the estate had Daphne curious, and she started asking questions.  Daphne learning more...

This week, Toni and Wendy swoon over two great speeches! We watch Daphne and Simon say the bare minimum to each other for three days from dawn of the duel to the night of their wedding.  Violet dismissed her hangover cure, substituted by the happy news of Daphne’s engagement to the duke.  Simon clearly needed the raw eggs and garlic especially after Lady Danbury’s disappointed look.  While everyon...

We had to share the scandalous piece of gossip we found out last week with Meg and Laine from Plot Trysts so we can bring more theories your way!  Last week, we mentioned that the season one script had read “Lady Araminta Cowper.”  This can either be a red herring to get us riled up or we could see Lady Cowper as “the” Araminta in Benedict’s story.  If so, Cressida will not only be a villain again...

We burn for you too Simon, Duke of Hastings!  We were fangirling along with the Saturday Night Live cast, the audience, and everyone else who tuned in to watch the Duke simply breathe.  Then we heard his beautiful voice during the monologue, swaying on the pirate ship, and singing “Driver’s License” by Olivia Rodrigo between discussing Taylor Swift.  A few days later, official Bridgerton merchandi...

The moment we’ve been waiting for… we have our Kate!  The fandom has been busy bees with the amazing art, book covers, and memes.  Who hasn’t seen the meme of Kate under Anthony’s desk?  Also, rumor has it that Newton has been casted and bees will be trained.  We were fed a heaping spoonful of Bridgerton goodness this past week and it ended the best way possible.  Hopefully everyone watched the Du...

This week, Toni and Wendy breakdown a cheesy yet absolutely non-cheesy episode! The episode begins with Violet sneaking a morsel at court before the diamond of the season receives diamonds.  We sympathize with the prospect Marina received on behalf of Lady Featherington, until a Penelope disapproved rescuer spun her into happy eagerness.  Philipa Featherington also has a suitor who seems perfect f...
