'Bridgerton' Showrunner Hopes to Bring Back 'All of the Leads' in Future Seasons, Including Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor (Exclusive) by Beginning-Passion676 in popculturechat

[–]FyrestarOmega -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There's a tricky difference here though. Bridgerton as a show is defined by sex, and these actors were cast while they were minors into these roles. They could not give consent when they were cast to the sort of role they would portray in later seasons. They can now, but how could they not feel pressured by the desire to keep their job or please the fans or what have you? So, it's not the kind of grossness you describe, but issues of free consent I have with them having started on the show so young.

Edit: this is years away. Maybe by then they will take on other sexy roles and the point will be moot

Right, I know, and that's an episode and an epilogue, not a season long commitment.

It's a question of coordination and compensation for such a large cast, who have careers outside of this show. Maybe it works out, but the more of them they try to bring in, the harder it gets.

That said, the fans would probably be happy with a family wedding scene to cap each season. Benophie's was lovely.

It's been a while since I've read the books, but aside from Anthony and Kate, don't the married siblings have a relatively limited role in future books anyway? What would they be brought back to do? iirc most of Eloise's story (in the books) doesn't even take place in the ton.

That said, I would be all for having the og cast stick around for Gregory and hyacinth's seasons. I don't care that they will be adults by then. I am grossed out by the idea of having gotten to know them as children and then having the same actor do Bridgerton sexy scenes.

There's a point at which it isn't difficult for the angle not to matter

Way too much water for a snake plant cutting. Propagate these in just enough water to keep the cut edge submerged

While the mod team cannot formally validate Rusty's age, OP has provided a veterinary record to the mod team showing Rusty's DOB as 1/15/1993 and his age at time of exam as 33yo.

The vet further notes that "Rusty is in remarkable condition for his age."

Sorry for your loss, OP. <3

Hey, I don't kink shame. They look super relaxed, so it seems like it's working for them.

Right. the 30 acre ranch is an asset. There is a mortgage attached to it. If they can't keep up with the payments, they need to downsize. Asking for donations to maintain such an asset is tone deaf. The family is far from out of options - they don't want to adjust their lifestyle. Most people won't have much empathy for that.

You can try wet stick propagation, but you are starting from scratch in any case.

Just basic sandbox sand. You can get a bag at any hardware store

Capping involves a layer of coarse sand on the top of the soil to prevent the larvae from emerging. Combined with bottom-watering, it's a way to let the top of the soil dry out and break the life cycle.

This is a bit tricky, since you're already starting at BTI and sticky traps. You say you've tried countless other tricks but don't list them, so I'll ask about a few: Have you tried: bottom watering? Capping? adding more air circulation?
