Happy Bridgerton S2 Anniversary! 🍾🥂 A year later & I remain as smitten with the Viscount & Viscountess as they are with each other! 🥰 Thank you, Simone & Jonny for being the best Kate & Anthony. See you in S3!

I love that Luke and Jonny are the same height but Luke always shows Benedict Bridgerton sliding down and lazing when he sits while Jonny shows Anthony Bridgerton sitting straight, ready to jump into action at a moment’s notice. They know their characters so well. ♥️

I love how you can just tell from the photos that Daphne has confident eldest daughter energy while Eloise is a rebel and Francesca has middle child reticence. Hyacinth, of course, will own that room with youngest child panache.
@hybridqueens
Exactly! The 2+ years between seasons is crazy. Three seasons in, they should be more efficient. Everyone is going to get too old for their parts. For Eloise, they’ll likely do a time jump. Amanda and Oliver need to be older if they follow part of the book plot.
@Rach_elle619
Exactly. I heard this line and just knew it was going to be misunderstood. Violet is saying Colin is sensitive to other people’s feelings and focused on making them happy. Anthony is focused on ensuring his large, chaotic family is looked after, safe, secure, and scandal-free.
@hybridqueens
Bridgerton writers have an enemies to enemies relationship with logic & time! 🤷🏽♀️ They are using India as an excuse to explain K&A’s absence in S3 & in future seasons but Aubrey Hall would have sufficed. Or sending them to Clyvedon where Daphne & Simon are locked in their castle!
@simoneashwinis
In a gazebo out in the open where his mother or any one of his million siblings and staff could have seen them! I mean this is the Rake who likes to boost them up against a tree or under a boxing rink. 🤭
@MaxJGao
But doesn’t that just show lack of imagination & creativity from the writers? Life doesn’t end after a wedding. The show is choosing to let its leads leave. It’s not a given. It’s a choice. Actors would return for interesting plots. I love the show but the writing is average.

Dear Gentle Reader… 1/
Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey as Kate Sharma and Anthony Bridgerton are the most perfect casting decision ever made. I mean, look at them! 😍❤️
#Bridgerton
#Kanthony
I need someone to play this on a big screen on a loop at Netflix and Shondaland offices so they understand that Anthony MUST be present and have a big role in Benedict’s season. MUST. Like, I want Anthony going door to door with Benedict in search of Sophie. 😉
@Hauwa_L
If you mean cheat at Pall Mall (or Charades), then the answer is ALL OF THEM. Anything else is a stupid question because they are all completely besotted with the loves of their live. Hard to cheat when you spend all your time staring into your spouse’s eyes . 🤷🏽♀️
@thatclarafied
Agreed. Except Hollywood is too narrow-minded and risk averse. If you look at all the recent casting announcements, it’s predominantly famous white actors being cast in things. The lack of representation grows instead of shrinking. And young talent gets barely any opportunities.
Someday soon Anthony is going to sit on this bench with his newborn son and tell him about his grandfather and it will be a moment of joy and peace instead of grief. Kate will be there by their side, her arms around her boys. ❤️
@GissaneSophia
@rajoorag1
If Cressida is going to get the queer storyline as the show / interviews are hinting, maybe Debling and Cressida can come to an arrangement. He gets his travels and she runs his estates and is free to live and love as she wants. I want a HEA for Cressida. She is great this season
@TheBestParker_
@hybridqueens
@iris_bee_
I like the symmetry of Violet always being the one to present her daughters.
I think when Anthony said “responsible for launching my sisters”, he meant helping prep for the debut, throwing a ball for them, chaperoning, etc. which Kate might still do.
@ZendayasDriving
They tried a unique Indian braiding style called “khajuri” aka date palm which is meant to look like the leaves / flowers of that plant. Points for it being a nod to India but the mess in the front & top & back center means the braid looks bad too. Worst hairstyle of the show. 😠
@missbridger_ton
India was not happy with Corey’s pick for her after she picked Eloise for him! 🤣 Like, Corey, you get the kick-ass Bridgerton sister and you marry Charlotte off to scheming Portia?! Pistols at dawn.
Two things can be true at the same time. Penelope-Lady W IS a main character on Bridgerton & the S3 lead & should get great promotion. Viscountess Kate Bridgerton IS the new head of the show’s titular family and should get the plot & promotion her role deserves. 💛💙
#Bridgerton
How it started | How it’s going
From “Miss Sharma, may I have this dance?” 😳 to “And I should like to use that moment to dance with my beautiful wife.” 😘

@juliesayit
Anthony says these hyperbolic words to show Kate the intensity of his desire for her & it is NOT him predicting that he will cheat on Edwina with her. He is trying to get Kate to agree to let him call off his engagement so that she & he can be safe from love. He’s being dramatic.
Indeed, Viscount & Viscountess Bridgerton are completely besotted and blissfully, ecstatically, rapturously happy in their marriage!
#Kanthony
#Bridgerton
Good luck to everyone trying to have a dinner table conversation with Lord Bridgerton. Since they got married, he’s even more distracted with casting besotted gazes at his wife, the luminous Lady Kate Sharma Bridgerton! ✨🤍
@versharma
Francesca’s book is my 2nd fav after Anthony’s. I’ve loved Michael a long time. Yesterday, I immediately fell in love with Michaela and Francesca’s sizzling chemistry. I’m looking forward to seeing the brilliant duo, Hannah & Masali, bring a new love story for Francesca to life.
Was it possible to fall in love with the same man over and over again, every single day? By God, she was going to try. — Viscountess Kathani Bridgerton ❤️
This! I like that characters aren’t perfect ideals but messy humans. I loved Anthony in S1 & 2 despite his chaotic choices because all his actions are driven by his deep love for his family. Jonny always shows us Anthony’s heart. 🥹 Eagerly awaiting happy Anthony!
One of the biggest draws of Bridgerton for me is to see character development, for instance see Anthony from the first episode of three seasons consecutively and marvel in the glory of grumpy to sunshine esque epilogue filled with love and happiness ✨✨
Will never understand why saying I love all seasons of Bridgerton & the spin-off & am eager for future seasons is taboo. Apparently one is allowed to love/defend only 1 ship. Am going to keep being a Kanthony stan & a multi-shipper celebrating all couples so feel free to block.
@lqvekanej
Costume department decided the inspiration for S3 is “PROM” since it’s friends to lovers. 🤣 Every fabric, color, accessory, pattern, style just thrown together in a big messy splash.
@RohitaKadambi
I absolutely do not trust a man who is not willing to pay any number of dollars required to acquire Indian Alphonso mangoes for his family. 👎🏽
@iris_bee_
Lol. Eloise 😦 shocked to be the lead. Benedict 🫤 exasperated at another sibling racing ahead. Francesca 😏 knowing who is the lead but not telling.
S3 Anthony Bridgerton when he hears Kate and Francesca make plans at dinner to spend the entire next day afternoon at the modiste! “What do you mean you will be away for 4 hours, Kate?!” 😜
Simone & Jonny being cast as Kate & Anthony has truly been a gift from the casting gods because we are so so lucky they are our beautiful Viscountess and Viscount Bridgerton. 🥹♥️🐝 Long may they rule the Ton and lead the Bridgerton family! 👸🏾🤴🏻🫶
#BridgertonNetflix
#Kanthony
Someone please tell me Newton is in S3. 🙏🏽 I need there to be a scene where Anthony is on the bed reading with Newton curled up next to him and Kate walks in and fake grumbles that Anthony has stolen her baby away by bribing him with treats. 😝
@hybridqueens
😭 I hope you are very wrong but I fear you may be very right. 😭 Let’s just pretend we don’t see them at any of the family outings because we’ll see them take advantage of the empty house instead. 😉
Bridgerton would be boring AF if Anthony made no mistakes, Kate told Edwina “I love him” at the first ball, Colin went around saying of course he would court Penelope, and Penelope only wrote puff pieces about Ton fashion. 🤷🏽♀️
#Kanthony
#Polin
@MHMA7850
By the same argument, Simone is Viscountess Kate Bridgerton, co-head of the family, mother of the future heir, sister to seven siblings whose engagement parties & weddings she will arrange. Implying Anthony is more important/relevant to the story at this point than Kate is BS.
If someone says hateful things about your favorite 100% call them out but please resist the urge to insult their favorite in retaliation. Don’t drag Jonny, Simone, Nicola, Luke T, Luke N, into the mess. It’s possible to wholeheartedly defend one without insulting another. 🙏🏽
@iris_bee_
Nooooo. Please, no. I mean I’m fine with Siena making an appearance and Kate being completely unbothered because she trusts Anthony and maybe the two women have a chat but I absolutely don’t want any “is it his child?” nonsense. Siena is not a scammer.
@bridgerton
Can it please be May 4th already?! These two have great chemistry! Loved the little glimpses of Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton! I hope Violet drops a few nuggets of news about her children and grandchild. Plans a play date for Augie with one of the Queen’s grandkids maybe? 😜
@sassynach
@iris_bee_
This is proof that they left great Kanthony material on the cutting room floor while editing! The camera should have stayed focused on only them throughout the dance, then lingered on Anthony as he let her go and stood immobile until the room
was empty and then ran after her.
@chaoticguitar
Someone at Netflix Portugal is a Bridgerton super fan and feels our pain and is willing to engage in a spot of espionage on our behalf. 👏🏽
@colinandpen
💙💜💚 Simon, Anthony, and Colin didn’t stand a chance. How can one look at Daphne, Kathani, and Penelope and not fall instantly in love?! 🐝🌷🦋
Thinking of this Kate & Anthony kiss again! What if Anthony has decided to sneak a kiss at every spot where in S2 he wanted to kiss Kate but couldn’t! In the park, at the races, by the lake, in a library, at the art gallery, in Lady D’s drawing room,… 😘😘
#Kanthony

#Bridgerton
S2 rewatch day 1 was great.
Ep 1 has so much to love! My top 10 favorite scenes for the episode:
🥇Kate & Anthony meeting in Hyde Park. It’s absolutely perfect. The banter, the attraction. They race into each others lives at a gallop and change everything. 🥰
@AmirahWahdi
@LITTLEBlRDS
It’s actually hilarious because Colin and Pen are the only ones as far as we know who anticipated their vows before marriage and should really have married by special license. Pen having to write a LW column to explain her “7-month premature” baby would be so funny. 🤣
@AlannaBennett
Agreed. And the stills for Part 2 aren’t giving me any hope. They’ve literally found the worst colors and materials for her. The presentation gown with the random stuff stuck on it was so bad. It’s a good thing, Simone looks great in anything.
@BM_Blog01
A newly-wealthy Portia wanting to spend scammed money on a big wedding to gloat that her daughter bagged a BTon is very in character. She is all about showing off. They were poor when Philippa wed. Prudence likely had a rushed wedding coz of Jack. Pen is her chance at glory.
@netflix
Augusta didn’t turn out to be a villain! But Best Mom of the Ton award is Violet’s. ❤️ She is the only mother in
@Bridgerton
who wants her children to find love & isn’t trying to marry them off for wealth, status, or heirs. Take note Charlotte, Agatha, Portia.
#RuthGemmell
Some S1 fans thought S2 would fail. Some S2 fans proclaimed S3 would fail. Now some S3 fans after seeing a few leaked photos are saying S4 is doomed. Reality check: Bridgerton is bigger than any one ship. It’s going to keep being a huge hit.
Was watching
#Bridgerton
S2 Ep 8 again & noticed that Lord Fife moves at the speed of light! 46:48 mark, he’s standing behind Kate & Edwina. A sec later he is with Anthony & Colin across the room as Kate looks at them. Then he’s back, standing behind Kate. Fife Spider-Man? 😜🤣
@peachybonsai
I’m Indian & this dress in an insult to a saree. It’s like a craft project with random fabrics stitched together badly. The blue lace-like fabric looks torn in places as if Newton chewed on it. The bottom dark blue draping is ridiculous. S3 had some good dresses. This wasn’t one.
While Mr. Colin Bridgerton is an exceptional dancer, securing a dance with him may prove tricky. It seems Penelope Featherington has secured him as her dance tutor. He dances only with her at every ball. If this author didn’t know better, she’d believe they were courting. 4/
After A comes B. Benedict Bridgerton is now the Ton’s most eligible bachelor. But this author suspects that he will prove an elusive catch. He is rarely in the ballroom. A lady would have to gain entry to Mr. Mondrich’s club or become an artist’s model to gain his notice. 13/
@greywinthrop
At least they showed Kate & Anthony’s faces in the clip. Poor Simon only had his hand appear. Production does not love their fans. They trample on our hopes too often. The only luxurious BTon wedding so far has been Anthony & Edwina. They should use it to promote this event. 😂
@iris_bee_
Interesting! So this might be Ben having a mistress year, like Anthony had with Siena before his season. Her hairstyle and dress is giving me Baroness from The Sound of Music vibes. 😆
🥹 Saw and cheered. This season of Sanditon was excellent! Beautifully written and acted. Couldn’t resist watching all the episodes on Passport and now I’m sad that there isn’t more to watch.
#Bridgerton
S2 Ep2 has so many great lines! My top ten:
🥇”Nectar. Really? … You simply chose the horse everyone else has chosen.” Kanthony banter is 👌🏽. Anthony realizes he’s never met anyone like Kate. Kate’s lines are also a commentary on Anthony choosing to marry the 💎
@hybridqueens
It all works out if we accept that Kate & Anthony honeymooned in two spots, which they totally did. India for 6 months Aug 1814-Jan 1815. Aubrey Hall for 4 months Feb-May. Epilogue scene is between the two & that’s why they return to AH from London to “extend their honeymoon.”
Francesca seems to be avoiding dancing in the clip. Will her 1st dance be with John? Kate’s very 1st dance was with Anthony. Daphne’s was with Simon. Pen’s was with Colin. In fact, K D P have only danced with A S C. What if Fran & John fall in love at 1st dance? 😍🥹
#Bridgerton
@Liiiioness
Nothing about Ep 6 made sense in context of what had happened before. Edwina blaming only Kate. The Queen & Edwina rambling about love. Anthony still trying to convince Edwina to go ahead with the wedding & asking Kate to help when she’s been against the match all along.
Penelope’s hair is going to slay in S3. This photo of them looking at each other is 🥹. Colin better be kissing her the next second. Based on the dress, these two photos might be from the same Ep. Pen waiting & then Colin comes knocking at the door & they kiss!
#Polin
#Bridgerton
Three perfect HEAs! 🥰 Five to go!! 🤞🏽 Daphne & Simon, Anthony & Kate, Colin & Penelope. ALL gorgeous, besotted, happily married with the cutest babies. 🥹♥️ Which Bridgerton will get struck by Cupid next? 💘 Spill the tea, dear author, before you head to your country home! 😉
@gregsbridgerton
Love it. It’s beautiful that Violet’s betrothal ring that was not right for Anthony and Kate is right for Colin and Pen. It’s a symbol of Edmund & Violet’s love, so a friends to lovers couple getting it is perfect.
🥹 Omg. I need married Kate & Anthony, chaperoning F & J, to visit this gallery. A spends the entire time whispering in K’s ear about sculptures they have already imitated & ones that are next. K wants to kill A & drag him into the closest storage room in equal measure. 🤭
Kate & Anthony S2 Epilogue Kiss 💜💙 And I fully expect Kate & Anthony to surpass this scene in S3 if the sneak peek is any indication of them in their blissfully married era.

With her beautiful daughter-in-law managing the house, this author wonders how Lady Violet is occupying her free time. She was recently spotted sipping lemonade with the intriguing Mr. Anderson. Might the Viscount find himself welcoming suitors for his sisters and his mother? 5/
Why would you move their relationship forward, have them confess their love, and tease the fans with a happily ever after (you gave us a young Eliza - William flashback too!) if they were not endgame!! THE DUKE IS IN THE TITLE AND THE CO-LEAD. YOU CAN’T JUST RANDOMLY DROP HIM!
We’re headed back to Victorian London as Kate Phillips returns as Eliza Scarlet for a 5th season of investigations. However, Stuart Martin, aka The Duke, will not return. More about the series, now called Miss Scarlet, and a note from Stuart Martin, here:
@filled_popcorn
Anthony & Colin are written very differently. Really no point comparing them. Trauma & fear of love are central in A’s story. It earns him a lot of sympathy. No one is blind to his faults but we understand his reasons and are thrilled he found Kate and they are very happy.
@MaxJGao
One set of leads per season format can be paired with a true family ensemble. Plenty of stories to tell for Daphne, Anthony, Kate, Penelope, Colin. They don’t wish to. Forget full sideplots, they could negotiate cameo appearances. They are choosing not to.
@La_Dee_Da_2023
She aced and continues to ace every single scene. With and without words. I cannot understand how any writer after seeing her this on screen wouldn’t go and write pages and pages for her. It’s the biggest mystery about S2 and S3.
After successfully arranging marriages for two sons, will Queen Charlotte focus her matchmaking skills on this season’s marriage-minded misses? This author would advise her to steer clear. After all, as a certain Viscount discovered last year, true love cannot be arranged. 2/
@netflix
❤️this scene! Violet is so befuddled by how she managed 2 weddings in 2 years. 🤣 Violet, your kids asked new-to-town strangers their names. 😝 Daphne in S1: “Tell me your name” Anthony in S2: “We have not yet been introduced. / I never got your name.”
@pecuIiarblue
Welcome to the Kanthony club! You’re now going to find yourself rewatching the season, searching out every video edit / gif, reading their fanfics, and still craving more. 🥰
@Sophia_dreams58
I actually think the S2 E8 conversation was partly a resolution of the issue. Ben confront him and Anthony says he recognizes Ben’s talent in art among other things and encourages him to purse it. After his engagement, Anthony likely did speak to Ben further offscreen.
Cressida Cowper is still unmarried. Colin Bridgerton disappeared with her ruby necklace. Prince Friedrich is now married to Miss Edwina. But there is hope yet. The lady does have the perfect swoon. She might consider wearing yellow to look less like she is sucking a lemon. 7/
A picture is worth a thousand words,
@bridgerton
! Each bts insight should be paired with photos / videos. S2 Ep6 & Ep7 bts content was woefully incomplete. Each of these messages should have had a visual attached. 😠 Please do better tomorrow for the final episode.
#Bridgerton
There was something about her that suited him like no woman ever had before, as if his body had discovered something his mind utterly refused to consider.
Something about her was…right.
She felt right. She smelled right. She tasted right.
@PatienceMolefe4
This is such a funny take. So everyone only loves their very first crush/love and it’s settling ever after? Happily ever after is all about the last person you will ever love, not the first. If I had married my first boyfriend, it would have been a total disaster for him & me.
Certainly, Miss Francesca Bridgerton has many suitors vying for her attention. Indeed she has had to go hide in the retiring room to catch a breath between dances. If Miss Francesca is not married to a titled lord by season’s end, this author shall eat the flowers on her hat! 6/
@txnbuddie
Alternative Facts: In the wrong and lying
Actual Reality: Always put Edwina & Mary’s needs & desires above her own, protected them from a dire financial reality, took on the entire burden of their family so Mary remained unburdened, gave Edwina a chance to marry for love. 🤷🏽♀️
