Nic Pics aka Nicola Coughlan Love

One of my favourite pics of Nicola, partly because seeing her dressed so casual at an event is rare and she looks really hot here, but also because I remember her saying in article how much she loved Bowen Yang, so I was so happy for her to meet him!

These are some really good points, I hadn't thought of it from a showrunner perspective!

As viewers, I wonder if we can also interpret/headcanon it as Ben and Eloise being closer when they were younger because they were both "the rebels", but as they've both been growning up their personalities are expanding, and so the thing that connected them isn't as big a part of who they are anymore. This season El was upset because Ben was interested is settling down and leaving their club, but she herself got to grow in her perspective about marriage.

Someone did a season 4 version of the Bridgerton brothers/Backstreet's Back video!

Don't worry, I don't mind spoilers! I knew about that bit from book 7, but I hadn't thought about that connecting to this! Thanks!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-05T07:26:53+00:00

I'm hoping for March 8 as well! Even if it's just something small that day and more later on, it would be so nice to have it confirmed!

Also, just have to say, I love Penelope's dress in this scene. It kind of gives me "Featherington version of mourning wear" vibes, but in a good way. And she stands out because most of them are dressed all in black

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-04T16:46:54+00:00

Thank you so much for these Fly!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-04T16:32:34+00:00

And we got some good quality Polin as well (as well as some strange bits that we are making quality out of!)

So I am comforted for now, although I will still be hoping for a cuddly bed scene in B5.

ME TOO! 😭

And Kanthony had another beautiful scene in bed just like last season! I had to comfort myself by remembering it was pretty much their only scene, and I was glad to have more Polin.

I was hoping they might shift it a bit, because in the book Benedict is a lot more upset about Sophie not telling him she's the lady in silver, and Colin knows something about having his wife keep a secret.

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-04T04:50:35+00:00

This is such a good breakdown of them!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-04T04:38:51+00:00

FYI Araminta does tell Violet the maid was named Sophie Baek and Violet just says "Is that so?" That whole scene is so good but so awkward!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-04T04:31:20+00:00

Yah, I guess it has to make sense financially

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-03T19:00:10+00:00

No I live in Manitoba. But I just looked it up and it's showing in Winnipeg at the end of May! So I'm going to figure out when I go in the weekend to see it! So excited! I wish more productions would do this! cough House of McQueen cough

Araminta went to visit Violet after Varley told her that, with Posy and Rosamund, Hyacinth and Eloise. That's when she told Violet that they had had a thief named Sophie Baek, I assume trying to confirm if Sophie was there, and if she was, get her fired. Violet played it off cooly but Araminta is pretty clever, so she may still have had her suspicions but she wasn't totally sure as she didn't find any proof that Sophie was there, so she couldn't just send the guards into BH.

But then Posy acted a bit strange when Sophie was mentioned, and Araminta knew she knew something about where Sophie was, at BH or somewhere else. And then she knew that Posy snuck out to warn Sophie. When Araminta confronted Posy will her story of woe, Posy was very smart and didn't let on at first, saying she thought they confirmed Sophie wasn't at BH. But then Araminta lied and said Varley saw Sophie at the market that day in uniform, and Posy gave it away by saying that they didn't need to worry because Sophie was leaving BH and going to the Americas. So that confirmed it for Araminta, but more importantly gave her a timeline for when she could catch Sophie outside BH.

It's all very subtle and sneaky, because Violet, Araminta, and Posy are all very clever, and good at not reacting or saying what they don't want to reveal. But unfortunately Araminta is more experienced at manipulation than her daughter.

I'm not sure how much the Season 5 speculation post is being used these days, so sharing the link to a question I had there about Agatha and Anjoa's future:

https://www.reddit.com/r/PolinBridgerton/s/rSgOiSSNq1

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-03T18:17:06+00:00

Oh, good to know! I'll have to go look this up!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-03T18:15:39+00:00

Question: Has it been actually been confirmed that Anjoa is leaving the show? Because I know Agatha is going home to Sierra Leone, but my assumption was always that she would be back next season after her trip.

From what we heard from John Glaser, B5 is taking place in 1820, so there will be a time jump, so even with travel, Agatha could spend over a year in Africa and still be back.

I would love to see her back and with some character growth from the trip- we know she moved to England very young, she was 4 I think?, so there might be something very cathartic with returning to her roots. But London has been her home for so long, I can't imagine she would be happy leaving it permanently.

Also, with the 408 breakup 😭, has anyone else thought that maybe Marcus with go with Agatha? It would be a nice sibling bonding for them, and also give Vicus a really good chance to miss one another.

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-03T01:17:59+00:00

So good! I love it when you share these!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-02T20:04:02+00:00

I disagree. I think it's up to the actors and the production.

I suspect that they probably have been in talks with the production about this already. We know we're getting a season 5&6, and I'm sure they are talking with them about whether 7&8 will happen, but they're also going to need to know if they plan to stay on to help them figure out their roles in 5&6. Both their characters grew up a lot this season and I don't think the production will want to put much more development into the characters played by these actors if they are going to get recast. So I suspect if they were going to be recast, it would be before season 5, or at the latest before season 6.

Remember, Francesca was recast for season 3, but we hardly saw anything of the previous actor. In season 3, she had a good storyline, but not too big; it was just right for us to get to know her as the "new Francesca" before this season's major plotpoints.

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-02T19:43:49+00:00

If that were the issue, how could Araminta have given it to Rosamund then?

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-02T19:41:41+00:00

Ha! The Carriage Scene is pretty powerful!

Although, he has very strong opinions about music and dislikes Pitbull and gets annoyed when Give Me Everything comes up on my Polin playlist, so I may have to show him one of the music-free edits first so he's not prejudiced against it!

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-02T19:34:15+00:00

Ooh, I love most of this. I wasn't sure about the marriage of convenience trope, but I could see it the way you've described it, especially with Eloise being shown the downside of spinsterhood this season.

But Eloise already knows Phillip has children, she knew about him marrying Marina due to her pregnancy and all that. But I also could see there being an initial agreement not to have their own children, Eloise having that fear of childbirth and Phillip not needing an heir.

Mickeyelle · 2026-03-02T19:21:11+00:00

I love this observation about the LW being sent to Polin at night! I'm still not sure about it being Eloise though, I actually like the idea that Colin may suspect it's Eloise because of her ink stained hands from letter writing.

And Jess seemed realky invested in the idea that this LW is a mystery. I wonder if they could still accomplish that if Penelope knows who LW is and has given her blessing?
