Fans Divided: Should Other Suitors Court Penelope to Make Colin Jealous in Bridgerton?
Bridgerton, the sensational period drama that took the world by storm, has left fans buzzing with anticipation for its third season, which will focus on Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington's love story.
Among the many questions looming over the upcoming installment, one particular topic has ignited a heated debate amongst Bridgerton aficionados: should other suitors court Penelope to make Colin jealous?
Fans are divided on this issue with some advocating for the idea to add an exciting development to the beloved character's storyline, while others vehemently oppose it.
Penelope is the sweet and shy younger sister of the Featherington family. Her unrequited love for Colin Bridgerton, the charming brother of the show's titular family, has been a prominent storyline throughout the first two seasons.
As the show gears up for its highly anticipated third season, fans have been speculating about the twists and turns the showrunners have in store for their favorite characters.
And among those speculations, there's a discussion about whether it's a good plot idea for other wooers to court Penelope to invoke feelings of jealousy in Colin.
On one side of the debate are fans who argue that by having other admirers compete for Penelope's affection, Colin may finally get a wake-up call and realize that she's the one he's been looking for all along but taking for granted.
Moreover, many want the tables to turn as they believe Penelope deserves to have her moment to reject Colin after pining for him for two entire seasons.
Fans also want Penelope to have other options and to stop putting Colin on a pedestal as if he's the only man who would ever like her.
On the other side are fans who assert that they're tired of the love triangle trope, which the previous two seasons had their fair share of already.
Those viewers would rather see the pair's love story unfold more sweetly, with Colin slowly falling in love with Penelope and noticing small details about her.
The debate is a complex one, no doubt. Both sides make valid arguments, and it remains to be seen how the showrunners will handle this potential storyline in the upcoming season.
Ultimately, it'll be up to them to decide what's best for the show and its characters. One thing's for sure, though – fans are eagerly awaiting to see what happens next.
