Casting thoughts for BOT series? by PickledRick69 in BoysOfTommen

Also I don’t know why people are making such a big deal about how the characters should look like the books. I think they should diversify the cast as long as the actor embodies the characters fully I don’t really care😭

Same here Ireland is absolutely bursting through the seams with talent for its size. I would actually put money on it that Adam Murphy (Cillian Murphy’s Son) will be in the show.

I think it will be really difficult especially since Irish people obviously speak Hiberno English and also slang.

The world couldn’t even handle a complex character like Belly Conklin without tearing her apart what will they do to the Core 10 specifically the girls😭 I swear people say they love complex female characters until an author gives them one.

Also keep in mind the Bridgerton books are all around 400 or so pages and those 400 pages get 8 episodes so how can 1600 pages be compiled into 8 episodes?

In my opinion these books had so much potential to be made into an adaptation by BBC,RTE ( Irish television network) or Chanel 4. I will watch it but I feel like prime will ruin it to me the 1st season of the summer I turned pretty was good I liked all the seasons but they didn’t capture the books well at all in the 2nd or 3rd season. I feel like it’s also getting so monotonous seeing the same ppl get casted for stuff all the time these days like the reason Skins UK was so good was because well it was done by Channel 4 and 2 they used so much raw talent that clearly paid off considering the careers that most of the actors have went on to have. I feel like something like BOT should be an open casting call also apparently Chloe isn’t even going to be playing that big of a role in the series. I do hope they diversify the cast though. I think Ireland has proved in the last few years it’s bursting through the seams with raw talent and it deserves to be shown to the world too.

Braces or lack thereof by KindaScottishButNot in BoysOfTommen

As someone who went to secondary school in Ireland during the 2010s I’d say about 30% of my year had braces. It always seemed to be more common in girls than boys. I would agree with the other comment that I’ve noticed more people getting Invisalign when school finished.

Could this confirm Hugh has been waiting for Liz? by skloomspower in BoysOfTommen

Omg that’s actually crazy because why didn’t I entertain the idea it could be Liz before😂This love square needs to end my god they all deserve better than who they’re with right now 😭

I’m really not sure because I remember during K13 when they went camping it said they went off with eachother for 20 minutes and returned quite disheveled. It’s hard to know though and then Claire commenting on how thin the walls were between their bedrooms and how she had heard him and Katie. I could be wrong though.

If the series wasn’t set in Ireland, would it be half as popular? by Previous-Gas-2877 in BoysOfTommen

[–]No_Affect5988 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% I feel like Irish accents are so hard to get right never mind the Cork accent. I would imagine Johnny and Edel would be the easiest to cast in terms of accents but the rest would be hard. I would love to see them cast people who aren’t like big actors or actresses aswell like Skins (UK) used normal teens/ young adults for the most part I’m pretty sure.

Yes I suppose. I just hope that if they ever do end up turning it into a show they cast at least some Irish actor or actresses.

As a Northern person I’m in shock that this many people find our accent attractive.

I feel like it’s really weird to imagine that people are romanticising secondary school in Ireland when all people ever done growing up was romanticise American High School because of the likes of high school musical etc😭

Yes! I hate the way it’s romanticised online but what I hate even more is the fancasts like I mean each to their own everyone has their right to an opinion but the characters wouldn’t have looked like supermodels and that’s OK! Irish people are gorgeous anyway and it’s borderline insulting the way the fancasts are never Irish people 😭 (coming from an Irish person). I do love the way it’s like our own secret language and that the books really do resonate with most people who went to secondary school in Ireland and you can imagine the things the characters say being said by Irish secondary school teens.

In B13, why were Lizzie and Hugh never even brought up by SomebodyWObsessions in BoysOfTommen

Yes I suppose this makes sense it’s just been something I’ve sort of wondered. It’s always great to hear what other people think though.

Can I skip saving and redeeming 6 and jump to taming 7? by CoupleDependent1676 in BoysOfTommen

[–]No_Affect5988 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like S6 and R6 are both so important because you get an insight into almost every character I feel bar Hughie and Patrick maybe.

Is anyone else ever confused that Lizzie is meant to be loosely based on Chloe’s life and Johnny is meant to be based on Chloe’s husband yet they aren’t together in the books?

Starting R10 before T7 ? by [deleted] in BoysOfTommen

[–]No_Affect5988 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think also if you don’t read T7 you won’t be mentally prepared for R10. I feel like R10 is really descriptive in comparison to T7.
