"Bridgerton," Netflix's Regency-era romance series, has captivated viewers with its lavish costumes, scandalous gossip, and of course, its steamy love affairs. Every season, anticipation builds around which characters will find themselves entangled in passion's web, but the highly anticipated romance between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton has sparked a conversation that transcends the usual "will they, won't they" intrigue.
