www.popsugar.co.uk, December 7, 2022
Simone Ashley is no stranger to playing a romantic lead. Any "Bridgerton" fan knows Kate Sharma in series 2 and her will-they-won't-they plot line with Anthony Bridgerton (played by Jonathan Bailey) was one of the finest ever. Though Ashley is the perfect match for a good old British rom-com, she hasn't been given the opportunity to film the coveted rom-com role. . .. Until now. Sort of. The fashion magazine produced "One Day with Simone Ashley" to accompany her British Vogue cover. However, this isn't just any old day. Rather, the actor recreates scenes from some of the most well-known, most adored, rom-coms of recent years.

"I've congratulated her, but she's kind of begged her to be a part of it and be present," she says in Entertainment Weekly. "I begged her ear if she wants me to and allow her a space because she doesn't need mine assistance."

www.popsugar.co.uk, May 20, 2022
This week, it's the talk of the ton: Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton's love story will be told on "Bridgerton" season three.

We're sure they're more than capable of filling 'em' due to their close friendship over the years. Ever since being on stage three years ago, Coughlan and Newton have wowed followers with countless selfies on social media, many of which include the word Polin (a blend of Penelope and Colin).

You may have missed the similarities between "Bridgerton" and Bollywood

www.popsugar.co.uk, April 26, 2022
Since its return to the screens this month, "Bridgerton" has been on everyone's lips. Julia Quinn's Netflix adaptation has held its place in the cultural zeitgeist, from its record-breaking viewing figures to analysis of Anthony's (Jonathan Bailey) swoon-worthy antics. However, one of the most controversial topics of discussion has been Kate and Edwina, played by British-Asian actress Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran. The authors have updated these characters' stories to reflect their ethnic roots and provide nuance, without ever referring to their race as a defining character trait. Making updates from the books is nothing new for the Netflix show, nor is it possible to have people of color appear in roles that were not written as white characters. Despite being lacking in the style, Ashley and Chandran's casting seems much less colorblind as South Asian representation, which brings us right back to the Regency period with a smear. In fact, I would go so far as to say that "Bridgerton" and Bollywood are a match made in heaven.

This Wardrobe Hints at the Finale is the subject of a "Bridgerton" costume designer's review

www.popsugar.co.uk, April 12, 2022
When it debuted on Netflix on Christmas Day 2020, the Regency-era romance saga "Bridgerton" took off immediately. No one will be able to shake "Bridgerton" fever with its grand galas and gruesome sex scenes. It was the dazzling costumes, with their romantic silhouettes and ornate accessories that stole the show for fashion enthusiasts in particular.

I Tried Finding My Viscount on Tinder With These Horny "Bridgerton" Pickup Lines

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 31, 2022
It's now officially "Bridgerton" time, thanks to the second season's debut on March 25. Of course, three things are involved: we now have new sex scenes, a slew of Lady Whistledown romance, and new Regency-era pickup lines. Remember that the Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon romance tale on Season One (Regé-Jean Page). "I burn for you" (which is basically an 1800s-style sext) and "From the mornings you awakened, to the evenings you sleep, to your dreams, my thoughts of you never end. "I am yours." To be honest, I didn't think the lines could be topped. However, season two may have been even more difficult with the romantic quotes and metaphors, as it turns out.

"Bridgerton" Proves The Key to a Steamy Romance is not just sex; it's also chemical

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 31, 2022
Yes, it's true: there are fewer sex scenes in season two of "Bridgerton" than in the first season. However, Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma's emulation and chemistry, the dramatic gazes, sharp-edged banter, and pure yearning between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma do more than make up for it. Whether explicit sexy or not, a satisfying, believable romance only works when the anticipation builds up just right. Although "Bridgerton" gained a following for its abridged romance, it was still effective because it prioritised chemistry. We sincerely believed, while enjoying season one, that Simon Basset and Daphne Bridgerton wanted to jump each other's bones. Now, we have no doubt that Kate and Anthony share a magnetizing attraction — that they can't pull away even though they should. The fact that season two only had two explicit sex scenes didn't make it any less sexy. Anthony and Kate's intense chemistry made some people even sexier, and the majority of Hollywood should take note of why. There are few things as uncomfortable as seeing allegedly romantic scenes starring people who seem to only want to be in the same room. Since the demise of the rom-com genre, television reports often encourage us to believe chemistry is there just for the sake of telling us it is. However, those romances never live up to expectations. Take the much-anticipated (but meh) "Marry Me" which skipped the mark in the same way that so many Hollywood rom-coms have in the last decade: casting the most popular names possible and giving the all-important chemistry test a shrug. Or consider the emotional void that is most "romantic" subplots in big-brand franchises (hello and goodbye, Marvel's "first sex scene" in "Eternals"). No matter how artistic the camera angles, hot people walking around in each other's general direction or rolling about does not make a marriage proposal.

Is Jonathan Bailey Single?He Keeps His Romances Private

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 31, 2022
Everyone's favourite steamy historical series is back! Fans are captivated by the continuing love lives of the Bridgerton family once more on Netflix on March 25. Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), who is on the lookout for a woman worthy of the position of viscountess, is in the spotlight of the show's new season. Anthony Bridgerton is both charming and incredibly handsome on the program, which has certainly piqued the curiosity of many faithful followers to ask about Jonathan Bailey's intimate matches, as well as whether the "Bridgerton" actor is dating anyone. Here's all we know about Jonathan Bailey's dating life!

Will Anthony and Kate Be in "Bridgerton" Season 3?

www.popsugar.co.uk, March 31, 2022
If Regé-Jean Page's (Simon Basset) complete absence and Phoebe Dynevor's (Daphne Bridgerton) lack of screen time in "Bridgerton" season two is any indication of what Jonathan Bailey (Anthony Bridgerton) and Simone Ashley (Kate Sharma) will miss, it's best to avoid becoming attached to the onscreen couple. Many that are well versed in the "Bridgerton" universe and anthology book series know that each book — and, in turn, each season — follows a different Bridgerton sibling's love story. As a result, it's likely that the main characters from the previous season's seasons will have a backseat in subsequent seasons. Daphne and Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings, exhibit A. However, fans are curious what will be Anthony and Kate's love tale in season three. Will they move into Aubrey Hall?Will they welcome a child of their own? Here's a look at what we, Bailey, and Ashley, so far.
