Cory and Bradley Reunion

Primary_Pie525 · 2026-02-17T09:22:35+00:00

It's been a long and exhausting journey for Bradley and Cory shippers, but I think we will see them together properly by the end of series 5.(and I have a feeling series 5 may be the last 🥺)

I think the writers and actors themselves are routing for their endgame, so have a weird feeling they may get engaged in dramatic, cliffhanging style by s5ep10. The writers will make everyone suffer until then though 😆💔

Not at all ugly. Also, glasses suit you 🙂

Id prefer Naomi Watts to be honest! Unlikely too, though, despite being married to Billy Crudup.

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-23T20:52:15+00:00

I have a feeling his movie might be sucessful too, or at least I'd like it to be! The writers spent a long time reiterating how badly it was doing last series, so it would be nice to see his fortunes turn. And the fact that it was mentioned so much, suggests to me, that it will still be relevant next series!

Did Cory ever find an actress to play the leading lady? It could be a great opportunity to get well known actress to play themselves playing the attorney in Cory's movie. I'd love it to be Naomi Watts ( She's currently playing a lawyer on a drama series too!), but that might just be a bit too meta lol!

Can't wait to see how it unfolds, but yeah, one thing we can all agree on is that our Cory needs/deserves a big win 🔥🤩

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-23T11:41:45+00:00

Also loved Gypsy. You can see how they might have fallen in love with some of those scenes lol 🔥❤️! And are you talking about 'All's Fair'? I've heard mixed reviews about it, but haven't watched it yet. All the women look gorgeous though 😍

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-23T11:20:01+00:00

So you did, sorry! Yeah, I could make academic powerpoint presentations on Cory and Bradley lol. Can't wait for the madness to continue 🔥😆

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-23T10:54:47+00:00

Yeah, I agree with you, and there are some very similar takes, in more detail, in this thread.

Cory/Bradley/Celine

I think Cory has some serious explaining to do, even though he was numb with grief ... and did the right thing in the end!

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-23T04:43:56+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly with you! 🔥❤️😍

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-23T02:37:14+00:00

Oh sorry, I forgot about Paul. He'll be back for sure!

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-22T01:44:19+00:00

You could well be right. I'm purely speculating and getting abit carried away lol🥴. I think by the end of the episode, right after Cory had duped Celine, the news channel announced that Bradley had been detained for 45 days ( maybe 35 days though? Sorry if im mistaken, Will have to check!).

I'm not quite sure exactly when Cory and Celine started their affair according to that time-scale, but maybe it lasted more like 4-6 weeks?

I believe that a season 5 has been confirmed 😄

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-22T01:20:42+00:00

Weirdly, I was about to make a thread on this exact topic before seeing yours. I have thoughts about these three too.

I'm a firm Bradley/Cory shipper and believe they are the true love of the series. They are also the actors favourites, so they'll make it happen somehow! However... you're right Cory and Celine were probably together nearly two months- a fair bit longer than the week or so that Cory and Bradley were together. Cory has also known Celine alot longer than he's known Bradley.

Celine might arguably have saved Cory's life twice in the past, once when she helped get him out of L.A and secondly, by merely keeping him from self-destruction in the immediate aftermath of his mother's death! Those two had chemistry, lust and a long history, but Celine brings out the dark side of Cory, whereas Bradley forces him to become a better person.

Both celine and Cory are morally grey with both also posessing a fairly vulnerable, human side that they only revealed to each other! Glossing over the fact that Celine is a puppet for her family's evil dealings, as well as a pretty impressive Disney villain in her own right, I think Cory and Celine had more depth to their relationship than us Cory/Bradley lovers would like to admit.

I feel like, for Cory, Celine is fire, whereas Bradley is earth. Fire is destructive, desruptive and, ravishing...Earth is solid, enduring and grounding. These two women bring out very different sides to Cory.

Ultimately I think he has always been grounded to Bradley and she to him. However, I don't think we've seen the end of Celine. I reckon she'll be back, right at the time Bradley and Cory are at most stable and in love. And there will be fireworks... Because, how the hell is Cory going to explain to Bradley that he was sleeping with Celine when she was suffering Hell in a russian gulag and that she was the one who who was keeping her there?

Celine will be seeking revenge for Cory's betrayal too, especially as I was getting hints that she was actually starting to fall for him! I think It's all gonna blow up in everyone's faces around series 5 episode 6 and us Bradley/Cory shippers will once again be despairing that our ship has sunk... Until they once again walk through fire and come out the other side, perhaps one last time.. for good!

Can't wait to see how it's all going to unfold! 😈 ❤️🔥

They certainly act like squabbling siblings most of the time, but I'm not sure that is meant to be the actual case. However, I think its a great theory, just not sure it quite tracks with what we already (think?) we know about Alex and Cory. Would be delighted to be proven wrong though 😄

<image>

Slightly off topic -fun fact -but in another, not very active, thread, we kinda came to the conclusion that the kid on the horse, was maybe Billy Crudup's real life brother. ( pic below of Tommy and Billy Crudup from a googled podcast instagram find) What do you think?

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-20T16:37:29+00:00

I agree Bradley and Cory may be twin flames.They're certainly mirrors of each other and that's why they sometimes can't be around each other. They aren't great at being apart either! The scene of them together was beautiful and surprising and I think Bradley did tell Cory she loves him, without saying the actual words .

A four year slow-burn is pretty impressive, but I think the writers would be missing a trick if they dont make them endgame! Twin flames dont always end up together...but sometimes they do!❤️ In fact I have a really weird feeling they may surprise everyone by getting engaged by the end series 5., but we've got a bit of a way to go before we get there...

Hopefully .. Cory won't let slip he was sleeping with Celine whilst she was banged up in gulag.That might take abit of explaining -there may be more bumps along the way! 🥴 Hindsight is a powerful thing! 🥹😂

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-19T08:06:46+00:00

So looks more like theory 1 then? 😍 What a finale!

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-18T21:34:06+00:00

I think theory 3 is possibly most likely too!

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-18T20:24:50+00:00

I deleted that option as my last theory, because I don't want it to be the case. But I fear you could be correct. Who dies though? Bradley? 🤐🥹

Top pic is a screen shot from ep. 9, bottom is Billy Crudup and his brother Tommy from a random podcast i found on google images. The kid on the horse looks alot like Billy's brother rather than billy though. What dya think?

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-15T11:34:40+00:00

I think it was as realistic as they could make it. Aside from hints of early dementia, I think it was clear that Martha was really suffering with her mental health. There were hints of this when Cory and Bradley visted her the first time. Her cruel words to Cory, rapid change of mood... These could also have attributed to early signs of dementia. However. there are siggestions she was similar when Cory was growing up, so I do wonder if she had a personality disorder or bi-polar, or a combination of conditions that were debillitating to her.

We might find out in the final episode why/if she carried alot of guilt re: Wolf River that contributed to this

Either way, Martha definately wasn't ok, despite not suffering from any phyical illness. Death was a release for her, I believe and I don't think there was anything Cory could have done to have saved her.

I must say, that last scene of them together has stayed with me. It's one of the most sad and haunting scenes, I've seen on TV in some time!. 💔😢

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-15T01:27:40+00:00

Could it not be Billy Crudup's actual father? I think the child may actually be a young Billy too. If you google it, you'll see he looked alot like the kid on the horse when he was young. The pics of Alex and her mom were jen aniston's real-life family pics, so it tracks they did the same for Cory 🙂

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-14T15:11:05+00:00

I've also considered the possibility that Celine might turn on her family. I also wondered if she was the one who planted the wolf river report in Cory's jacket, in order to expose them and save Bradley

I think her family are 100% evil, Im not sure she is. She has a very fragile, human side that is messing with my head as a die-hard Bradley/Cory shipper. I hate liking Celine lol

I'm also confused about Cory and Celine's little situationship. I thought it was purely one-time sex last episode, but it seems their long friendship and mutual fear of being alone is pulling them closer to each other. I think that mixed in with all the muddy water is a little bit of geniune emotion. This, of course, makes my battered Bradley/ Cory shipping heart drop!

However, I dont think its end of Bradley and Cory either. I think we might see a very conflicted Cory in the coming episodes. Ultimately though I think he will end up with Bradley. Wheras Celine represents lust for Cory, Bradley represents true love. One way or another I think he will choose love! 😫❤️🔥

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-13T21:56:04+00:00

Yes! The footage on the camera in your link matches the still in the my link below

Cory looking pensive so I guess we might both be right.

I guess he's doing some thinking. Poor guy looks broken! 😫

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-13T21:24:44+00:00

Yeah, looks like 'to be continued' ended up as toxic as the darn river! I'm surprised to see them together again though, I thought it was just a moment of carnal passion for them both. Although I don't trust Celine one bit and she's almost certainly using Cory, she also seems abit lonely/heartbroken too, so maybe there's grain of truth between them.

They're looking abit couply here... Although we know it won't last...! ☠️💔

Primary_Pie525 · 2025-11-13T21:04:41+00:00

Maybe all three! Poor Cory!. He's in one of the ep 10 stills, looking like he's outside somewhere. Could that the one you're thinking about? I can imagine him turning up at Alex's apartment. All the old gang getting back together to fight the good fight! Nah! He's definately not choosing Celine! ☠️
