"luke and nicola did not know the morning of that i was filming it that i would do that but they got such a charge out of it, they loved it, not knowing that was going to happen. before i brought everyone else in for the rest of the scene i said, they were wondering why it was just the two of them, i was like we're going to do this first. and they were like "OH MY GOD!" and the spontaneity of that is my part and it feeds the actors and their stories and layers of emotions they hadn't rehearsed and they just let themselves go in that moment." : tom verica (director of bridgerton s3e07 and s03e08)
Is it true that the polin wedding breakfast dance wasn't scripted and that they came up with it during filming? and is it true that Nic & everyone didn't want Luke to see Nic as Pen in her wedding dress to get his honest reaction?
Yeah both things are true and confirmed by the director & the showrunner themselves
Even in the scene of Colin seeing Pen dancing with Debling in ep3, Colin's/Luke's reaction was him watching Nicola & Sam dancing alone, there weren't any other actors or extras with them, they wanted to get more raw reaction out of Luke for the close up shots then they filmed the version we all saw in the episode itself with all the actors and extras around
as much as i want nicluke to be in a romcom, i want them to be casted in a thriller movie where they can be a problematic couple who are plotting to kill each other
GIVE. ME. PREGNANT. POLIN. IN. SEASON FOUR. I BEG OF YOU!!!! Like there’s a two year time-jump between the masquerade ball and Benedict getting close to sophie, we deserve glimpses of a pregnant penelope and overprotective colin especially while they try to run a household and raise a future heir
apparently some polin/nicluke stans are leaving nasty comments under luke’s gf’s socials. i need us all to remember to a. separate fiction from reality and b. mind our own businesses when it comes to these people’s relationships. we do NOT know these people personally, their relationships and lives are THEIRS alone, and if this keeps up, we will legit lose nic and luke’s beautiful friendship and we will not be getting so much genuine content from them anymore. i love seeing pr videos of them genuinely having a good time with each other, showing us that their friendship is not actually pr but authentic… but if this negativity towards their personal lives keeps going, their friendship might be impacted and we will see their chemistry falter.. i do not wish for this to happen. i’m not pointing fingers but if you are someone who is being nasty towards his gf, i kindly ask you to stop and think about the repercussions this could have. thank you.
(for context: people are commenting rude things on luke’s gf’s socials and some even have a pfp of nicola.)
