I don't defend Armand's crimes but he looks like a melancholic character from Jane Austen's novel that walks straight out of a oil painting when confessing his "one" act of cowardice...And I kinda forgive him 😔
So I started 'Mrs Sidhu Investigates' with Assad's buddy Gurjeet Singh... and there is the scene in which all the tech in the room go blink-buzz and this exchange happens 😅
Let's not forget I am the Black Sails girly first, so ACTUALLY my favorite part is when fandom allows people to pull out their "Here's the history of the colonial slave trade in India" and "Happy to share my academic essay on pederasty and art in 16th century Venice" cards. Smooch.
P.S. Metaphor analysis of sea battle paintings in the background of the Black Sails screenshots... I miss you every day.
Hotel Portofino season 3 and possibility of Assad Zaman returning
So, Hotel Portofino will return with season 3.
Assad's friend Gurjeet Singh, with whom he worked on several projects (most notably East is east in '21)
will be in it and he has been posting stories from set in July this year
This was while the IwtV production in Prague was still ongoing, so it's clear why the character of Nish needed to *cough* not be in it *cough*.
So who knows if Gurjeet's character will be some friend or family member looking for Anish...?
(also, Assad is definitely the guy on set who goes Oh! You need more South Asian actors? Well do I have some very talented old colleagues of mine I'm going to introduce you to 😊)
Here I put my tinfoil hat on for sec regarding the possibility of a Nish cameo - HP is a British production shot in Croatia with mainly English and Italian cast, the strike probably doesn't touch them. After IwtV stoped shooting... We know Assad's been hanging out in Croatia
(Go on, have some more pics of them while we're at it)
But me, gay? You know, were he going to think, er, were he going to think that our friendship was a sham? That this whole time I were just trying to get him into bed?
Which I was, I’ll be honest.
