Daniel Francis and Ruth Gemmell on ‘Bridgerton’.Netflix
“She catches his eye immediately,” says Francis.
“There’s an immediate spark of attraction and intrigue there.
She doesn’t come across with that energy at all, and so that’s intriguing.
She’s an adorable character.
So he gets that sense of her pretty immediately, and he’s drawn in.”
“She’s enjoying flirting,” says Gemmell.
“That’s the initial thing.
He talks about the loss of his wife.
There is a mutual understanding.
Family means everything to Violet, so she’s intrigued.
“Marcus is oblivious as to why his sister is so frosty,” explains Anderson.
Adds Anderson: “He doesn’t fully understand what Agatha endured.
He was a child when she left.
But by the time of the Featherington ball, all ends well.
Agatha forgives her brother and all the Bridgertons' marriage woes are resolved for the time being.
Gemmell says this assent from Agatha is essential to the romance having any chance of continuing.
“She means it when she says no man will ever come between us,” she notes.
“She absolutely means that.
Those friendships have got her through the worst times of her life.
She’s just enjoying feeling alive.
That’s what she’s doing.”
“Having Lady Danbury’s blessing is definitely important to him,” he reflects.
But with Agatha’s approval secured, Violet and Marcus share a dance at the Featherington ball.
“I’ve been hankering to do that,” she says.
Mistakes in choreography aside, we’re left to wonder will this relationship continue to blossom?
And Gemmell is definitely eager to avoid any of the spicier scenes her costars have filmed.
“Ruth would like to skip that, thank you,” she quips.
“I might show an ankle here or there.”
But showrunner Jess Brownell promises that there’s more in store for this sweet romance.
“I love that relationship,” she says.
“I love what a slow burn it is.
Bridgertonseason 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
