Behind Bridgerton - New Beginnings: Penelope and Colin | Shondaland

The chemistry that Luke and Nicola have is incredible.

At this point, S3's selling point is just Luke and Nicola.

I can’t get over their dances and how cute they are together 🥰 but Nicola saying that Colin and Pen would die on the same day because they love each other that much 😭 my heart

In a world full of fake smiles, in which people seem to lose their ability to truly connect with others, we are desperately in need of role models who remind us of the few things that truly count in live: trust, respect, genuine interest in others, gratitude and, most of all, love. Thank you Nicola, and thank you Luke, for showing us what it feels like to be appreciated and seen by another person. How it makes one shine and blossom. You are what Polin stands for: soulfulness, warmth and eternity. 🔥🧡💙💫💖🔥

I'm so happy to see Nicola stepping into her leading lady era. I definitely think her confidence went up because of this season! ❤️

the polin arc has been a beautiful, romantic, angst filled rollercoaster from beginning to end, it has been such a joy to watch these two beautiful characters fall in love. thank you bridgerton and thank you luke and nicola🫂💕

I could watch Nicola/Luke and Pen/Colin nonstop. The actors are as delightful as their characters. I hope Sholandaland takes note for the future seasons and adds them as much as possible. I said it before, but I’d love to see a friendship blossom between Pen and the Queen. I want them to have what Pen and Lady Danbury had in the book. And I want Nicola and Luke to head up all the PR. Together.

Nicola's face is perfection

Nicola and Luke did an incredible job. Got very little to do with the book by part 2, but it's it's own story and they were fabulous. Still wish we'd have Luke saying: “I love you for the children we’ll have and for the years we’ll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles.” Even without the whole speech from the book, that line works for the show too.

I love it when Luke said having the lead roles this year was a full circle moment as the evolution of their characters matched their evolution as actors and friends.❤

Regardless of any critiques I’ve expressed of how S3 was handled, Nicola and Luke were hands down the reason I was excited to watch and root for Polin this season. Credit to Shonda for seeing the potential in these actors, and all without a chemistry read!  The wedding dance was my favorite scene in Part 2 so huge credit also to Jack Murphy for choreographing. I was thrilled when Nicola released the full clip of them dancing on Instagram because they really do move beautifully together and it was a great summary of what seems to be a wonderful relationship between them these last 5 years. Once their roles in Bridgerton are officially over, or maybe before, I hope people will seek them out for other major roles. I’m glad to see Nicola already getting great opportunities. They seem like genuinely likeable people who take their craft seriously and to dedicate 6 months to a world PR tour, while being so sweet and patient with the more passionate fringes of the fan base, is also incredibly impressive.  If we’re lucky, maybe we’ll see them grace the screen together again in the future, with hopefully better storytelling and directing (no offense). It doesn’t even have to be a romantic story, though I did love the rom-com elements, the willow tree scene being my favorite from Part 1. But I’d also love to see them playing characters wildly different from Polin, as I imagine they would too, and clearly they have the chemistry and acting chops to pull it off.  Either way, I wish nothing but the best for them in their future endeavors and I’m just glad that hopefully now in S4 we’ll just see Polin happy, no more unnecessary excessive angst, but let me not go there...

Nicola and Luke have such amazing chemistry in all of these press and bts interviews, i honestly think we only got 50% of that in the series due to severe lack of Polin screen time! Feels like such a waste, we could have had so much more of this beautiful pair in the show. I really need them to give me sweet and happy Polin scenes next season as well, please!

Imagine what this season could have been if they had given to their story and their characters more screen time to be explored and developed (especially for Colin)...just imagine! It's still good, don't get me wrong, but it could have been SO much more!!! Thank you Nicola and Luke for your AMAZING job! If people are so obsessed right now, even who felt a bit disappointed by this season like me, is because of them and it's a testament to their work and their talent ❤

SHONDALAND, THIS BETTER NOT BE THE LAST POLIN CONTENT! HOW WILL WE SURVIVE THE NEXT 2 YEARS? 😭😭😭☠️☠️☠️

I literally couldn't love anyone any more. It's ridiculous how much joy they are bringing into my life. They are the best. The way they get their characters and talk about Pen and Colin warms my cold, cynical heart. ❤

Just love those two….as themselves and POLIN.

In my mid thirties now and had thought fan girling like a teenage over a book and a tv show was not gonna happen to me, till Luke and Nichola came as the leads of the S3 of Bridgerton. Love their authenticity and genuineness. They reminded me that this world still has genuine and talented people who are also down to earth. I want them to be in each others lives forever. Shondaland did the best with S3. I am thrilled and thrilled. Love them so much.

Polin are the heart of the Bridgerton story 💛 I hope they keep bits with Jonny and Simone and Luke and Nicola throughout the rest of the seasons. They are wonderful actors who have created such fun characters and bring a lovely energy to the show. Plus it’d be great to see how those couples develop. Some happiness and fun amongst all the drama!

This is a documentary that in of itself needs to be submitted for rewards. Luke and Nicola are the main characters, the moment and have changed the world

Aat this point give us more of them. Directors cut, limited series EVERYTHING!
