Are they going to make eloise gay

Based on the bestselling novels by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton has stormed the globe with each season following the Regency era love story of one sibling from the Bridgerton clan of which there are eight as they stumble their way to wedded bliss. Now season three will see fraught friends Penelope Nicola Coughlan and Colin Luke Newton — aka Polin — discover that true love was right under their nose this whole time.

From the very beginning, the Shondaland production took a sharp departure from the novels by creating an alternate universe in which Queen Charlotte Golda Rosheuvel paves the way for those of all backgrounds to join high society. Yet in a world where racism is largely removed as a barrier to climb the ranks of the Ton, I have to ask why diversity is still lacking in other ways.

Why is the show so heteronormative? The first season was accused by some of queerbaiting after teasing gay sex in the trailer, and hinting Benedict Bridgerton Luke Thompson may be queer, only to entirely abandon this thread during the actual show. But it can salvage its reputation as a forward-looking, subversive, historical drama through Eloise.

Frankly, as someone from the community, I can say that she possesses all the trademark lesbian characteristics. Especially during a time when the streaming studio is under fire for chronically cancelling shows with sapphic leads such as First Kill, Warrior Nun and Everything Now.

Wider representation can only be a good thing. I think the rest of the cast would too. After her distant cousin Marina played by Ruby Barker in season one tragically dies she begins writing to her widowed husband, Sir Phillip Crane. During their exchange of letters, Phillip proposes and offers to lift Eloise out of spinsterhood and become the new wife and mother to his children.

They live, supposedly, happily ever after. But instead of following the predictable Romeo and Juliet route — two lovers divided by class and societal sensibilities — why not take it one step further? Whether it be with an already existing member of the Ton, or an entirely new character.

All this is to say, dear reader, that season three is the perfect time to lay the seed for the romance we are all rooting to happen.
