Let's imagine…

The time for New Years Resolutions are upon us – so what might the characters in Netflix 's Bridgerton be planning for themselves as they head into Season Three?

Anthony Bridgerton

  • Stop laying out my pocketwatch by the bedside before sex. Apparently it's 'weird'.
  • Find a husband for Eloise. Perhaps an older gentleman? With a library? One who is hard of hearing would be ideal. Who lives outside of London, where there are fewer people for her to offend.
  • Show Kate several more ways that a lady can be seduced.

Viscountess Kathani Bridgerton (née Sharma)

  • Consult with an architect. Find out if it's possible to soundproof the gazebo.

Colin Bridgerton

  • Talk to more people about Greece. Everyone loves it when I do that.
  • Maybe grow that little beard back? It was definitely dashing.
  • Find 'my purpose'. Maybe talk to Penelope about it.
  • Wait… where is Penelope, anyway?
  • Oh well, she's around here somewhere. Good old Penelope.

Eloise Bridgerton

  • Cease speaking to Penelope, but in a calm and mature way so that she understands that I am the reasonable one, and she is SO IMMATURE!!
  • THROW EGGS AT PENELOPE'S WINDOW!!
  • Lay flowers at Mary Wollstonecraft's grave, and continue her good work. Ooh, perhaps start a pamphlet?! Is there a way to further the cause of women that will also give me the means for independence?!?!
  • Surely there are better dress options? Perhaps something more practical for sneaking off?! Why can't women wear TROUSERS?!?! Maybe I can start wearing trousers!?!?!
  • Find a way to take myself completely off the marriage mart, so I can focus on my studies and my work like a woman of purpose and not a ruffled-covered FRIPPERY!!
  • Write more. Perhaps find a pen pal?!

Francesca Bridgerton

  • Be more present. Sometimes I feel like I barely exist in this family.

Violet Bridgerton

  • Tend to 'the garden'.
  • Find an excellent 'gardener'. He should be discreet. He should be tall. He should be gentle with my petals but firm with his – er – stem.

Benedict Bridgerton:

  • Stop putting pens, etc. in my mouth.
  • On the other hand, continue to put mysterious powders in my mouth. Very good.
  • Stop painting. That will show them! That will show them all!
  • Go to more Art Orgies. But perhaps learn about these 'condoms' the French are so fond of?

Gregory Bridgerton

  • Make people take me seriously. I'm practically a MAN now.
  • Get a toy train.

Bonus Round: Non-Bridgertons!

Penelope Featherington

  • Find out which institution is responsible for the manufacture of yellow fabrics. Pay someone to blow it up.
  • Stop thinking about Men, and one Man in particular. All I need is me.
  • …And maybe Eloise.
  • Make up with Eloise.
  • Find a discreet banker and begin investing my funds. The floorboards have a simply TERRIBLE rate of return.

Lady Featherington

  • I shall fall in love with myself, and not gentlemen of dubious honesty. Also, buy shinier clothes. Is there such a thing as a fabric that is also a mirror?
  • New clothes for Penelope too… no matter how brightly I dress her, she is still a wallflower. Perhaps the problem is that she needs an even brighter yellow? Or perhaps she needs a hobby. What DOES she do in her room all day?

Lady Danbury

  • No resolutions for me, thank you. I am resolved at all times, and certainly there is nothing to be improved.

Queen Charlotte

  • TALLER WIGS.

Cressida Cowper

  • Be kinder to people by pointing out their flaws so that they may improve.
  • Find a way to take revenge on everyone who has wronged me.

Brimsley

  • Find someone new to dance with.
