Hold onto your tiaras, "Bridgerton" fans, because things are about to get interesting. A recent interview with the ton's favorite trio—Nicola Coughlan, Luke Newton, and Luke Thompson—has set the internet ablaze with speculation about a certain potential romance. And no, we're not talking about Benedict and Penelope this time (though, we’re always here for some #Polin content!).
This time, the spotlight is on Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton, our beloved Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton, a.
k.a. the will-they-won’t-they couple that has fans on the edge of their seats. But after this interview, some are wondering: is there even a “they” to begin with?
Picture this: The three actors, all smiles and camaraderie, settle onto a plush sofa for the interview. Nicola, radiant as ever, sits nestled between the two Lukes. Everything seems perfectly charming until, well… until Luke Newton makes a move.
Subtly, almost imperceptibly, Luke N. drapes his arm along the back of the sofa. A harmless gesture of friendship? Perhaps. But here's the catch: his arm rests just so, appearing to encircle Nicola's shoulders.
Now, cue the dramatic music and the gasps from the peanut gallery (that's us, by the way).
Nicola's reaction is immediate and, dare we say, telling. A flicker of surprise, bordering on discomfort, flashes across her face.
She shifts slightly, her body language screaming a silent plea for personal space.
“Did anyone else see that?!” shrieked one fan on Twitter. “Poor Nicola looked so uncomfortable.”
Another astute observer noted, "Nicola’s smile seemed strained after that. Maybe it’s just me reading too much into it, but something felt off.”
Of course, it’s impossible to know the inner workings of someone’s mind based solely on a few seconds of footage.
But the internet, being the breeding ground for speculation that it is, has wasted no time in dissecting every micro-expression and twitch.
The incident has ignited a fiery debate amongst "Bridgerton" enthusiasts. Some believe it’s a harmless interaction blown out of proportion. After all, actors are physically close on sets all the time.
Others, however, see it as a potential indicator of a one-sided attraction. Could Luke N. harbor feelings for his co-star? Is this simply a case of a playful flirtation misfiring?
"Maybe Luke N. was just trying to be friendly, but it definitely came across as a little too familiar," commented one fan on a Reddit thread dedicated to analyzing the interview.
As we gear up for the highly anticipated Season 3 of "Bridgerton", one can’t help but wonder how this newfound tension will play out on screen. Will the potential awkwardness translate into sizzling chemistry? Or will it be painfully obvious that these two are better off as friends?
One thing's for sure: we'll be watching this supposed love story unfold with eagle eyes, ready to analyze every glance, every touch, and every awkward silence for clues. Stay tuned!
