Why Eloise Bridgerton deserves much better in the series than her husband from the book

While Bridgerton Season 4 may just be about Benedict (Luke Thompson), fan favorite Eloise (Claudia Jessie) will get her season at some point, and it will be a big problem if she follows the plot of her book. The books in Julia Quinn’s romance Bridgerton Each of the series is about the Bridgerton siblings, who find true love against the backdrop of London’s high society of the Regency era. In the hugely successful Netflix series adapted by Shonda Rhimes, Daphne, Anthony and Colin Bridgerton experienced their happy ending in the first three seasons.




Although she never had a full-blown love story of her own, Eloise Bridgerton played a major role in every season.

But the Bridgerton At the end of season three, Eloise moved to Scotland to get out of her comfort zone and find herself. And hopefully, in her own season, Eloise will find a partner other than her husband from the book.



Eloise Bridgerton’s husband from the book is Sir Phillip Crane – who married Marina

The plot of Phillip & Marina’s book is marked by tragedy, which would clash with the light tone of the show

In Julia Quinn’s To Sir Phillip, with love, Eloise Bridgerton’s future husband is Sir Phillip Crane, a character who already appeared in the Bridgerton TV seriesIn season 1, Phillip (Chris Fulton) marries Marina (Ruby Barker) after his brother George, her lover and father of her unborn baby, is killed in the war.

In the Bridgerton In the book series, things take an even darker turn for Marina when she attempts suicide and eventually dies. Sir Phillip is deeply affected. Eloise tries to console him and begins a correspondence with Sir Phillip, which leads to a romantic relationship and their eventual marriage.


While this storyline provides rich material for character development, it poses challenges for the Bridgerton series. Marina’s story is full of sadness and tragedy, which is in stark contrast to the typically light-hearted and romantic tone of the series. The inclusion of such dark themes could disrupt the overall mood of the show, which generally focuses on romance and social drama with a touch of humor. Marina has already endured considerable hardship, and adding more tragedy from her past might seem excessive. The series should perhaps avoid this heavy backstory to preserve its signature charm and ensure that Eloise’s romantic journey remains exciting and hopeful.
