The initial days of Yrkkh 4 was so good.This sequence is so darn cuteeee.Shehzada wasn't exactly a good actor but he had amazing chemistry with Sam.His version of Armaan was such a cute male wife and someone who kept others before himself.

For some reason I can't visualize Sheh's Armaan doin all the stuff that Rohit's Armaan did.Sheh's Armaan and Rohit's Armaan are two completely different people all together.I mourn the Armaan we would have gotten if Shehzada was still part of the show although Ik that shahi would eventually ruin the character just as the present Armaan.

After the leap lowkey wanted Abhira to end up with Anshuman because he reminded me of Og Armaan but alas that never happened.

This is one of the best first meeting of the leads in ITV history.

The bgm,the backdrop,the fireflies...everything is so magical✨.Using O re Piya just elevated this scene by multitudes.I still remember 10 year old me being absolutely bewitched by this scene.

Also Mouni and Arjun looked so fricking good together.The visual chemistry is just immaculate.Fight me but no other Naagin couple has come close to them even after all these years.Current itv can never give a pair like this.

The charm of itv during the 2015-2017 era was just too good🥹

How many more characters are they going to introduce in S5 and why is it all men where are the women like isn't this season supposed to be completely lead by women.Also all these introductions only to have a screentime of 3 secs and if they can add these side characters why is it so difficult to throw Phillip in there for few minutes atleast.And what's with these weird names,Jess if you thought ate with these names lemme tell you sweetie the whole plate is full.

Prolly going to get downvoted to oblivion but whatever.Just saw this post by a Franchaela fan about how we can miss our favs without discrediting the main leads and was pretty much agreeing with her post for most part until I read this paragraph.Most of us don't have a problem with Franchaela getting a good setup,we are just asking for the same amount of setup for other leads.Apprantely Franchaela getting subplots in S3 and S4 is important to flesh out their storyline properly but somehow people asking for subplots to flesh out other characters in S5 is a crime.

Most of us are using Franchaela as an example for how a good setup is done and same should be done for other leads too.I get that Franchaela are facing massive amount of hate, and y'all extra protective about them but let others express their disappointment too.Every single criticism doesn't have to be taken as homophobia and racism.Some people just want the best for their faves just like how the Franchaela fandom want the best for Franchaela.And tbh most of the criticism is directed towards the production and Jess rather than Franchaela themselves.

Also another thing that Franchaela fandom needs to accept is that Jess clearly favours Franchaela and tbh there is nothing wrong with that.She prolly wants the people of her community represented and resonated with Fran's character the most(her own words). And that's why ik this season is going to be great because she is doing everything right with Franchaela.But somehow every valid criticism thrown towards Jess(not hate) for her writing and handling of other characters is taken as an indirect hate for Franchaela which is not the case for most part.

During the S5 announcement,a lot of Franchaelas justified that the reason Eloise's season was pushed back because her story had no setup and who do you think chose to do that..totally not Jess right??Like are y'all hearing yourselves.

That being said the amount of homophobia and racism that Franchaela receive is honestly very sad and we shouldn't be doing this in the big year of 2026. Like some y'all need to give S5 a chance..I am sure it is going to be a banger.

Ps:No homophobia or racism allowed under my post.

Edit:Some of y'all throwing shade at Fran in my comments is not done and clearly did not get my intention behind the post.

This is from a fan who attended the Landcon for Outlander.She met Chriss Fulton(who plays Phillip Crane) and he said this in response to being asked if he is in S5.

I swear to god we were all hoping that the reason Eloise(and Phillip) season was pushed back is to give their story a proper setup similar to Franchaela in S3 and S4 because their story involves Marina's death similar to John's death.Turns out that the production not give a damn about Eloise's season at all.Ik they would mention Marina's passing in between some convo and not even give her the respect she deserves.

So they really delayed her season just to give her another lackluster plot and her rejecting marriage mart again, letting more characters belittle her and push her to the edge.Her lead not even appearing in S5 so that people can start rooting for their before their official season.I am lowkey done with Bridgerton atp

Edit:Some of y'all misinterpreting me...I am not trying to hate on Franchaela.I am looking forward to their season too,it is just that the writers haven't really given El a compelling storyline for ages of now and was looking forward to her season,that's the reason why I was expressing my disappointment. As for Jess preferring Franchaela I don't mind tbh because who wouldn't want the queer community to be represented in such a big show like Bridgerton and let's be honest there aren't a lot of queer historical romances out there so this one was long due.

If I had a nickel for every time Penelope and Eloise got pregnant at the same time, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

This is from the book btw. In the show they swapped Agatha with Elliot and I don't think we will see Penelope or Georgiana Crane either.Guess they will stick with Eloise being content raising her stepchildren
