Luke Newton

I feel like this Luke Newton reaction shot is going to come in handy for as long as the bullshit continues.

we said we wanted real lover boys back and then they blessed us with colin bridgerton

and what was killing me was the baby was already IN THERE

I hope Benophie fans get a book accurate season. All I heard from them for years was that their negativity came from the show runner not being faithful to the books and changing things. Well I hope they get exactly the true adaptation they want.

And frankly Benedict hasn’t had any conflict with anyone else for 3 seasons. Just floating through. It would be nice to actually get to see him presented as having negative traits for once, add some dimension to his character. If they stole so much from Colin already, remember that Colin was the favorite fun loving brother in other books, but his own book revealed he has bad moods and isn’t always positive and charming all the time. Benedict can have that too.

TW: Mentions of blackmail, harassment and threats of rape.

They've already officially started S4 pre-promo and S4 being promoted by the showrunner as a more faithful adaptation of it's book than the other three seasons should be deeply worrying.

We are talking about a book which includes the male lead blackmailing, harassing and threatening to r*pe the female lead if she changes her mind about having sex with him? Twice?

A book that was actually one of the worst reviewed and Benedict one of the most hated for years until the show came out, where in my opinion the ship gained fans mostly because Luke T is attractive.

They literally had to throw Book Benedict out of a window and erase him entirely from the show. He was retconned entirely. They admitted to taking Book Colin and sticking Benedict's name onto him, only allowing him to keep his love of art.

Like, that's not the Benedict the book fans know - so how are they going to keep it faithful when Benedict is not Benedict? When it would be so out of character for him to not only blackmail but harass and threaten a woman with r*pe?

I can't see the show getting me to even remotely like Benophie if they keep any of this for the show.
