‘Bridgerton’: Colin May Inherit the Featherington Estate
Based on the best-selling books by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton centers on the trials and triumphs of the marriage market in the 19th-century regency era in Britain. Season 3 is expected to debut this year. It will showcase the relationship between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
Fans are even convinced that Colin will inherit the Featherington estate.
Colin will be surprised to fall in love with Penelope in ‘Bridgerton’ Season 3
Though Penelope has always been half in love with Colin, he’s only ever seen her as a friend. Colin made this abundantly clear in season 2 when he told his friends he would never see Penelope in a romantic light. Now, as he’s desperate to rekindle his friendship with her, he will be shocked by his romantic feelings toward his friend.
A Bridgerton gift box was sent out to critics, and some details about season 3 were shared on Twitter. It read in part,
Bridgerton is back for its third season and finds Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) has finally given up on her long-held crush on Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) after hearing his disparaging words about her last season. But lacking in confidence, Penelope’s attempts on the marriage mart fail spectacularly. Meanwhile, Colin has returned from his summer travels with a new look and a serious sense of swagger. But he’s disheartened to realize that Penelope. the one person who always appreciated him as he was, is giving him the cold shoulder. Eager to win back her friendship, Colin offers to mentor Penelope in the ways of confidence to help her find a husband this season. But when his lessons start working a little too well, Colin must grapple with whether his feelings for Penelope are truly just friendly.
Colin may inherit the Featherington estate
If Colin and Penelope do marry at the end of season 3, Colin will likely inherit the Featherington estate. His eldest brother Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) controls the Bridgerton estate as the 9th Viscount Bridgerton following their father’s death.
As pointed out by Startefacts, Colin could inherit the Feathreington estate if he marries Penelope. Penelope’s late father, Lord Featherington, had a gambling problem which left her family finances in despair.
During this time, women are unable to inherit property. Therefore, it’s likely that the estate will go to Colin to repair and stabilize the estate for Penelope’s sisters and mother. Fans also point out that this was foreshadowed when Colin walked into the club just as Lord Featherington made the final bet which led to his death and the loss of his home.
Fans will have to wait to see how it all pans out, especially if one of Penelope’s older sisters walks down the aisle before her. Otherwise, Bridgerton could put Colin at the head of the Featherington estate.
‘Bridgerton’ Season 3 is rumored to be extremely sexy
Since Penelope and Colin won’t even begin season 3 as friends, there will be a lot of intense build-up between the pair. Penelope has been halfway in love with Colin for most of her life. However, following his disparaging remarks about her at the end of season 2, her feelings toward him have been pushed toward anger.
In contrast, Colin has never seen Penelope as a romantic prospect, but as she grows more confident, that will shift drastically. As a result, fans should brace themselves for a very sexy season 3.
Simone Ashley, who stars as Kate Sharma in the series, has already termed season 3 as “condensation central.”
“I’m very happy when I’m reading the scripts,” she told E! News. “When I receive them, I’ve got a beaming smile on my face.” She explained that the season was full of “Polin, love, and new beginnings.”
