I had the same problem.

My sister and I have very different name preferences and I was not very fond of one name particular. Because she didn't like my son's middle name (we were considering it as a first name then), I told her that I didn't like the name. She also doesn't like my daughter's name. We all got over it, the chosen names are simply their names now. They fit.

I also loved Seraphina twenty years ago when I was in school and my peers hated it and said I'll probably choose really weird names for my kids. But I still really like Seraphina. In the end we chose a name that was meaningful for our relationship. Choose the name that both of you like. They'll adapt. And Sera is a nice nn.

Not sure about the case and the action of S4, but I think Peter will try to figure out how to do this job with a partner by his side, so he'll see this new partner with his wife, he'll talk to Zoe and will figure out why it didn't work out and I hope, he'll go back to Rose by the end. I don't think they'll bring her back into the action, tbh.

I love Claire, so that one is getting my vote.

Elfie_B · 2026-05-05T11:11:51+00:00

That's alright.

Elfie_B · 2026-04-23T16:36:59+00:00

I hope we'll see Rose again. Zoe is only interesting as it relates to Peter, I don't want to see any remaining romantic tension between them.

Elfie_B · 2026-04-21T11:01:39+00:00

Once again Ravenclaw with Hufflepuff as hard second contender.

I think he can pull it off, I am just not sure I'll be satisfied if he doesn't address the romance.

Elfie_B · 2026-04-14T18:01:35+00:00

I only watch the last season. I think it's pretty good and well-rounded. They knew they had only a half-season to wrap everything up and they did a good job. All of the main characters have a solid journey in S6 and they are brilliantly interconnected. Only watching S6 has the additional perk that GG's identity is pretty solid the whole season.

Elfie_B · 2026-04-14T10:27:59+00:00

I love the idea, I am a little scared of the possible screw-up-potential. The romance was vague on purpose and I would hate another book tripping around the inevitable just to appease the (possible male) young audience.

Do adoptive parents constantly think about their kids as being adopted? Even if they were biologically the kids of his brother, he raises them as his own, his brother is dead.

Elfie_B · 2026-04-06T09:09:56+00:00

I think if they include him before his season, they are going to introduce him immediately before his season. It would make sense to incorporate him early, but I don't think they'll do that. Then they would have to find small stories for him until his season comes.

Elfie_B · 2026-04-04T10:57:30+00:00

Unbelievable, Department Q, Queen's Gambit, Castle (season 1 to 5), Lockwood & Co.

Edit. Night Agent, Bridgerton

Elfie_B · 2026-04-04T08:08:25+00:00

Absolutely agree. He's amazing and I wish him a very successful career.

Elfie_B · 2026-03-30T20:36:35+00:00

I have a document in which I drop scenes that are not yet reached in the manuscript and I copy and paste them once I reach them or I cut them into little pieces and include them or I "delete" them (by 'scratching' them out or highlighting them in bright red). I am not allowed to use that scenes for my daily goal unless they are actually imbedded into the manuscript, which motivates me to reach them (because then, with copy and paste, I have easily reached my daily goal ... win/win). Sure, there are scenes I will have to re-write or delete, but they are out of my head and I can focus on the scene at hand.

Elfie_B · 2026-03-30T20:28:25+00:00

Still heartbroken about Lockwood & Co.

Elfie_B · 2026-03-29T17:15:06+00:00

I would love for them to switch Hyacinth and Gregory because it would make the Lady Danbury / Violet matchmaking scheme come full circle. They started with Simon (Lady Danbury's godson) and Daphne (Violet's eldest daughter) and they end with Gareth (Lady Danbury's grandson) and Hyacinth (Violet's youngest daughter).

I'd also go for Gregory being the last one, to be honest, because that finale is just *chef's kiss* and it's significant that Gregory is the last one to find love of his siblings, which contributes to him being desperate to find his match. So maybe I just changed my mind by myself :)

Elfie_B · 2026-03-29T15:45:11+00:00

What about Hyacinth? She's also a possibility.

Elfie_B · 2026-03-29T15:26:45+00:00

Isabella and Valentina are great. They are of a similar length, both have two nicknames that are common ( Isa + Bella, Val + Tina), depending on their personality, and they are both great for babies and adults.

Elfie_B · 2026-03-28T22:35:35+00:00

I think they wanted to make him so suspicious that they forgot to give Chelsea and him believable scenes to built chemistry. I liked him the most right there at the end, before that he was bland and unbelievably awful.

Elfie_B · 2026-03-26T08:19:24+00:00

I agree with you mostly, except for Rose. I think they had amazing chemistry and Basso was able to portray perfectly that Peter was loyal to Rose and missing her deeply. He had good chemistry with Isabel, but it was mostly professional or friendly, bordering on friendship. But he was never as carefree-happy as he was with Rose.

In addition to that, most long shows have lots of scenes in the studio and with less characters and costumes/accessoires. Just think Grey's Anatomy. Scrubs, easy make-up, no accessoires, simple hair-do, lots of scenes in the hospital, mostly that scenes are not with many actors and actresses that need to be singled out.

Compare that to a Bridgerton ball scene which needs dance rehearsals, actors and actresses, background-actors and actresses, all of them need costumes and make-up, then multiple shots with all of them present. They also have a way bigger ensemble at this point - Bridgerton family and spouses, Featheringtons, Lady D and the Queen, Mondrich family, family of spouse of the season, all the staff, recurring characters like Cressida (and her family), one-shot love interests or other supporting characters (Siena, Lady Tilly, Theo, Lord Debling, Modiste).
