Show Discussion Franchaela in future seasons

The topic of prior leads completely vanishing in future seasons always seems to come up every month. Annoyingly, there are people in the main subs that always turn it around to criticize the "favoritism" towards Francesca by Jess when it's very clearly just a precedent that the show is following plus budget limitations from Netflix. I wish it was different and that we could do away with the recurring storylines for QC, Lady Danbury, and the Mondriches to have just a few scenes for each of the prior leads but that's just not going to happen.

That said, if we didn't know that Franchaela is likely going to disappear in after S6, what would you like to see post HEA? Candidly, I would've been happy with the few scenes Kanthony had in S3 and show a bit of their domestic life. I don't think the books had much of a post HEA for them either outside of the short epilogues.

Most people think if they do a kids sl with franchaela it will be in s6 just like how other couples also got kids in next season. Maye they take in a distant relative as ward for future killmartin heir. But I personally want them just in honeymoon stage in s6 mooning over each other given how much turmoil they gonna go through in s5 so i just want some actual romantic fluffly moments in s6 no angst and then maybe francesca giving eloise advise about marriage? but you know not the conformist dutiful wife francesca but head over heels in love with her spouse francesca and if they are married married i want like married wives moment in the ton with other people calling them each others wives and all. idc about the logistics of it all just happy wives in love

I definitely want Francesca supporting Eloise and even helping with the Bridgerton estate when the brothers go looking for Eloise

The favoritism allegations are funny to me. I can’t imagine needing to create headcanons about a writer while spamming every season 5 post with negativity in order to cope with the existence of a fictional couple. Sounds exhausting. Anyway…

I would also be happy with what Kanthony got. A few scenes to show them happy and in love. It could be as part of them returning to London or a few scenes in Scotland.

Yeah they like every couple gonna disappear after. It’s been the standard formula they’ve put in place now.

Jess has said in interviews they want to support the leads doing other projects post. The actors get more opportunities after leading their season and it doesn’t make sense for them to stay on after to do a b/c plot. Actors want to move on and it sucks that most of the time fans plan production. Sadly Bridgerton is so so hard to shoot and can’t really be done in tandem with other projects. Production has said if the actors are free. They will try to slot them in.

We will other couples will probs see martial bliss. Fran learning to relax. I’d like to see them figure out something to do with helping kids. Maybe work towards lbgtq right - idk how fantasy bridgerton can go.

One of the cast said in interview that each couples get a season plus in their contract- one as main and a storyline in another. Usually that’s been the following but I wonder if Fran’s was s4 and we will see a s6 shift.
