Jamie Beamish as Lord Nigel Berbrooke in Netflix s Bridgerton
Hit period drama Bridgerton has been renewed for seasons three and four.
Work is underway on the second season at the moment.
However, it won’t include Rege Jean Page, as the Duke of Hastings and more importantly Waterford’s Jamie Beamish.
Speaking to Geoff Harris, Jamie says that the reaction following his role as Nigel Berbrooke in the hit series was unbelievable.
“You’re watching people going to balls, and people having the craic together in these big social situations- at a time where nobody can have a social situation.
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Bridgerton.
Daphne was formally introduced to society at the beginning of Bridgerton which meant she was ready to find a suitor.
She, and the rest of the older Bridgerton siblings, would attend parties and lavish balls with the end goal being to get engaged and then wed as soon as possible.
As she wasn t ready to just go with whoever older brother Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) picked for her, Daphne had a deal with his friend Simon Bassett, the Duke of Hastings (Rege Jean-Page).
But of course, this was the beginning of an intense romance between Daphne and Simon, resulting in their own marriage.
Miss Bridgerton,’ he said, whipping his head around to face Daphne, ‘would you care to dance?’
There was no way Daphne could refuse. First of all, her mother was impaling her with her deadly I-Am-Your-Mother-Don’t-You-Dare-Defy-Me gaze.
Secondly, the duke had clearly not given her brother, Anthony, the entire story of their meeting in the dimly lit hallway; to make a show of refusing to dance with him would certainly raise undue speculation. And finally, she kind of, sort of, just a little teeny bit actually wanted to dance with the duke.
Of course, the arrogant boor didn’t even give her the chance to accept. Before she could manage an ‘I’d be delighted,’ or even a mere ‘Yes’, the duke had her halfway across the room.
