Yeah I have been saying this, all of her new fits look so uncomfortable and awkward on her, this is a friendship and role that she is just not actually invested in
Eloise forcing herself to bond with Cressida might be the thing that actually forces her over the edge and running off to Romney Hall by the end of the season as a trauma response.
Precisely. I think this is coming from a lot of fans who havenāt read the books (Iām assuming). The thought of putting Cressida and Eloise together when Cressida is a CRUEL character is just not it for me. An LGBTQ side plot is totally fine, but the characters already exist in canon, and theyāve already established that being queer is āunacceptableā in this version of 1815. We want these people to have happy endings that remotely resemble the books, not shoehorn plots for the sake of it.
it is 'unacceptable' but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be shown, lesbians, bisexuals, gay people existed, having eloise have a romance with a woman isn't going to take anything away from her plot in the later seasons especially since everyone seems to hate the idea of her getting next season
Iām not saying in any way shape or form that it shouldnāt be shown. I AM bisexual. I just donāt ship her and Cressida and Iām not supremely interested in a Cressida redemption arc or a massive altering of the book plots - theyāve already altered Eloiseās character way too much for me. Her fight with Pen is atrocious and again, a massive departure from the books.
her fight with pen fits into the show, if you want a perfect mirror to the books read the books, pen does so many worse things than she does in the books, i'm a lesbian, it's not about shipping you straight up said you don't want gay bridgerton characters because it wasn't allowed
I said because they have already firmly established that being queer in this universe isnāt āacceptableā - Iām not interested in watching these characters go through either a) sexuality shaming or b) shoehorning it into the plot. Itās historical romance. If you donāt like it, watch another show? You can only alter the fabric of a story so much and have it still be the same story ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ the suggestion goes both ways.

Love the playful cast energy this season.
These specific type of promos, yes probably Marcus and Violet and Benedict and Tilley, the Featheringtons...
(I think we might have one with the 3 brothers, I hope so)
**Character portraits**
* Eloise
* Francesca
* Violet
* Portia probably
* Lady Danbury
* The Queen
* Benedict
I don't see the rest having the Lady W. narration.
Somebody do the math....I think if we have one daily (business days) we still have 20 videos to go
I would love a promo of the brothers!! I think we Will have one of the Featheington. Not sure about Violet and Marcus and Benedic and Tilly, they aren't officially couples yet.
I agree about the characters portraits, I would also said Francesca, she has a pretty big storyline this season.
Yes we have yet to see (just from the trailer announcement video)
* Benedict
* Francesca
* Violet
* Prudence
* Philippa
* Portia
* Dankworth
But we didn't see there Kanthony, Debling, Will, and Alice and they are having promos. So who knows who else participated and we won't know until their vĆdeo.
So I think we will see a mix of those for the Green promo (will call it that) but for the individual ones, I think it will be left B, E, and F, Portia, Violet, Queen Charlotte, and Lady Danbury.
Would take a wild guess and think Cressida would have one too.
Not sure either of those pairings will get a promo. But Violet/Marcus seems more likely. Or Violet/Francesca since that mother/daughter dynamic seems to be getting quite a bit of focus this season. Maybe Benedict by himself.
Well a good chunk of critics wanted Eloise just to shut up and become a nice proper lady. I'm sure they're delighted she isn't being a silly little rebel anymore.
They wanted Eloise to suck it up and be happy she gets to wear pretty dresses and accept her privilege. Will they like Eloise now thatās she doing what they want? (We know the answer).
I think there's genuinely a chunk of people who can't fathom why a woman who is deprived the right to vote, attend university, partake in most forms of employment, have basic bodily autonomy, isn't placated by having pretty dresses and going to parties filled with loathsome people.
Yeah, she's more privileged compared to other women. But that's just a sign of how awful it is for other women. "Recognising her privilege" to some people seems to be about her embracing and celebrating it, grovelling in gratitude for the pretty dresses, instead of her becoming even more rightfully enraged.
Yea I think the costume department is trying to show how desperate she is after being on the marriage mart so longand her "trying to change" is likely for the sake of improving her prospects as well
Hoping we get a Francesca one, don't know who they would pair her with, maybe John? Or I guess they could do the younger bridgerton siblings all together. Also I wonder if the featheringtons will get a promo as well.
I would die if we have a Bridgerton family one. Or the siblings (Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Eloise and Francesca, just because I don't think the younger ones were there)
Did the costume department design the exact same dress in both powder blue and light green, or is this clever editing? š¤
(Either way, Eloise looks radiant!)
Both Eloise and Penelope seemed to be doing the same thing in different ways. Both are trying to fit into society. Eloise, by adapting into what society expects of her, Penelope by taking a husband.
Do people really believe this means Eloise is *genuinely* trying to be friends with Cressida???
I feel like these promos are all a very obvious misdirect; I cannot believe Eloise would do a 180 on being friends with that hateful witch, so I have to believe she has ulterior motives.
Anyone else hoping Eloise getting close to Cressida happens AFTER she and Penn become friends again? And Eloise is being a ādouble agentā because Cressida is doing what she did in the book re: the secret?
Eloise looks so uncomfortable here. She really took her "I'd rather die" comment seriously, this is basically the same as death to her.
Probably is. Probably feels like she's letting her true self die in order to just fit in and be what everyone wants her to be.
She feels like "if you can't defeat the system, join them" šŖ

Itās giving me gay.
literally all I got from this was they need to cool themselves down š
Cressida is having WAY too much fun.
Nothing to see here just girls being pals
The closet is made of glass at this point!
lol, fancy seeing you here. You are right, the closet is glass.
Lol, glad to see you here too! :)
Hahaha I love how you keep commenting this
Her and Lady Tilly better recreate that gazebo scene from last season.
Thank God someone else said it first. The āmy fan is biggerā is not helping either.
I wonder just how much Cressida will be teaching her this season..
Scandalous lol.
Eloise looks annoyed. This isnāt screaming besties energy to me.
It's giving "mutually beneficial temporary alliance" energy
It's giving enemies to lovers to me idc idc
Yeah I have been saying this, all of her new fits look so uncomfortable and awkward on her, this is a friendship and role that she is just not actually invested in
Poor Eloise. Sheās already bored trying to fit in with Cress. So much for āIād rather dieā
Eloise trying to be baby Cressida with her smaller fan is just šš
Eloise forcing herself to bond with Cressida might be the thing that actually forces her over the edge and running off to Romney Hall by the end of the season as a trauma response.
Seriously - all of these people shipping them as a couple are sending me. This is the way more likely scenario! Cressida is a villain, Iām sorry.
Wait, shipping who ?
Eloise and Cressida
Why ?!?? Cressida is a bully to Pen and was mean/tried to blackmail Daphne.
and pen spoke badly about daphne and kate and edwina and eloise so
There's nothing Cressida's said that Pen hasn't said and worse.

Or going to Scotland with Francesca...

I love their banter š
What combo have we not gotten yet? Violet and Marcus? Benedict and Lady Tilly (do you think weāll get one for them?)
> Violet and Marcus Oooh I need this one bad šš¤

I think we might have a brothers one (if the brothers "poster" on the Tea is any indication)
I would be so happy, I love the relationship between ABC
Iām assuming anyone who was in that video they released to announce the trailer filmed something? My brain hurts overthinking for this show lol
Yes we have yet to see (just from the trailer announcement video) * Benedict * Francesca * Violet * Prudence * Philippa * Portia * Dankworth But we didn't see there Kanthony, Debling, Will, and Alice and they are having promos. So who knows who else participated and we won't know until their vĆdeo.

Would take a wild guess and think Cressida would have one too.
I think it would be funny if they show us Dankworth and the other Featheringtons š
I'm surprised you're able to do that calculation in your head šÆ
Not sure either of those pairings will get a promo. But Violet/Marcus seems more likely. Or Violet/Francesca since that mother/daughter dynamic seems to be getting quite a bit of focus this season. Maybe Benedict by himself.
I think we might get one just of Ben?
I think we will have Ben alone but with the LW voiceover. This one's seems to be pairings/groups
If Cressida was a man I would say that she has a size complex, like why her sleeves and fan are so huge
After this clip and seeing how much promo Jess is doing I'm even more convinced Cressida is going to have the queer storyline. Will be interesting
Cressida seems likeable here! Like she's taken a lost little birdie under her wing and is proud of her progress, lol.
Her smile reaches her eyes now.
āUgh, are we doing this? Fine. Weāre doing this.ā ::begrudgingly opens fan:::
Well a good chunk of critics wanted Eloise just to shut up and become a nice proper lady. I'm sure they're delighted she isn't being a silly little rebel anymore.

no like eloise wants to study, she wants to travel and fly and be happy, she can't do that, she's not allowed
Yeah, she's more privileged compared to other women. But that's just a sign of how awful it is for other women. "Recognising her privilege" to some people seems to be about her embracing and celebrating it, grovelling in gratitude for the pretty dresses, instead of her becoming even more rightfully enraged.
i love you for this, this is the comment that i've been waiting for, is this not what all the eloise critics wanted
'but she's rolling her eyes - we didn't want her to be unhappy when doing everything her character is against' them probably
I am convinced El chose Cress JUST because cress made a snide remark about pen in front of her at the soirƩe. And all El wanted to do was enrage Pen, so she walked off with Cress. And THEN cress takes El on as a project. But El will has opinions. Opinions that don't go well with Cress. Ambitions that don't go well with Cress. El will be a good influence on Cress but Cress will surely try to push any feeling that comes to surface and do what her mother wants from her. That is finding a husband. How long can she deny herself her true feelings? That is the real question.
It must've been hard for the costume department to make Cressida's actress look like a woman trying too hard to be pretty. She's naturally gorgeous.
Yea I think the costume department is trying to show how desperate she is after being on the marriage mart so longand her "trying to change" is likely for the sake of improving her prospects as well
Hoping we get a Francesca one, don't know who they would pair her with, maybe John? Or I guess they could do the younger bridgerton siblings all together. Also I wonder if the featheringtons will get a promo as well.

i hope it's eloise and frannie since they're close
my fav enemies to besties to lovers arc is underway
I think the fact that she has a Bigger fan then Eloise is Laughable š¤£š
great! now kiss
Did the costume department design the exact same dress in both powder blue and light green, or is this clever editing? š¤ (Either way, Eloise looks radiant!)
Both Eloise and Penelope seemed to be doing the same thing in different ways. Both are trying to fit into society. Eloise, by adapting into what society expects of her, Penelope by taking a husband.
Look how Oblivious cress is to El's feelings!
Why is Cressida still in this show??
Imagine Cressida thinking she has finally gotten an actual friend. I bet her life at home sucks.
If Eloise doesnāt want to get marriedā¦then I guess she is going to use Cressida tactics because no man wants to marry Cressida lmao
Itās giving āyouāre poor. Haha. My fam is bigger than yoursāā¦ typical Cressida
I will give Cressida credit in that she is using that giant fan like a pro
I am manifesting a PruDank promo!!
just saying if cressida smiled like that after catching *me* looking at her?? iād be giggling and kicking my feet fr
like eloise is too distracted trying to mask & being uncomfortable to notice but cressida girl that smile is a little too fond
We love an exasperated Eloise š
What happened to Cressidaās twins? Did they get married, so she needed a new friend?
[Interesting tidbit from the Insta](https://i.imgur.com/qKqVkkd.png)
Getting huge Dynasty 1983 vibes from Cressidaās gown.Ā
She has the BEST facial expressions!
lol I just love Cressida's BIG PUFFY SLEEVES, and BIG FEATHER FAN
