Ben's story is still much better than Colin's.

If Eloise is next Imma abandon everything! I still find the whole Cinderella stuff cliché, but then again it's not BLAH max pro like other books. There's decent amount of agony, the bittersweet confusion and conflict about her class difference (which shouldn't matter but well) and then there's whole backstory of Sophie which will definitely touch you, even if you aren't a fairytale fan.

I found it much better than any other book in whole series. Franny's book included.

I have seen many shonda shows so beware her tastes are questionable and if she doesn't like an actor or character she will be vengeful and screw up their storyline. Its how she operates. She is obsessed with selling her fav characters even if they are pathetic or written horribly by the end of it and it irks her people might like things totally opposite of what she is trying to sell to the audience. Penelope as LW is more interesting but when we she is herself she comes off blah and its worse off in the show coz she does really questionable things unlike in the book where there is leeway for her to get away from censure of her family and friends.

If they didn't want to do a benophie season they could have just done a parallel track for him and sophie coz the timeline just looks messed up now. There is a reason why penelope eloise and frannys storys run parallel. Now they are gonna get polin together eloise still flapping in the wind along with aimless ben and they can drag frannys story coz they might show her with john for now. Even though I dont find ben that great his and sophies story is more interesting than say polin or eloise's. Franny and michaels is far removed from the main cast but its still more angsty. Younger two are more adventure romances to me lol I just hope we get some good kathony stuff coz I just about skipped all the other scenes lol especially pen and eloises i cant stand those two in the show lol

Seeing as how completely they have changed S2 from the book and how S3 also seems to be different from the book so far I think it’s very likely the books will be just reference points from here on. They will pick key scenes from them to keep book audiences happy perhaps but the actual plot could be anything. I don’t think we should expect anything similar to the books if S2 is a precedent.

I agree about Ben but Luke T makes Show Ben a lot more interesting for me. Book Ben was boring and problematic . I also don’t like Eloise’s story much though Show Phillip seems more likeable than Book Phillip but then again Philloise and Polin are both very vanilla imo.

I get what you’re trying to say about Shonda - so far all her actions seem to point that way. She doesn’t care that Kanthony is popular or that fans keep asking for bread crumbs. All she cares about is pushing her own agenda which seem to be LW/Pen and Queen Charlotte 🤷🏽‍♀️

Shonda has a penchant for making the audiences hate the character an actor is playing on screen, if she has problems off-screen. As simple as that.

Greys se dekh rahi hun main, Jiji got no chill. 😆

I don’t that that’s the case here though. - she seems to love Pen/ LW and promotes her and Nic all the time, even if the audience doesn’t care too much for her. And Kanthony - that the audience loves - she doesn’t care a fig about 😆.Yeah I’m aware of Grey’s and all the gray things she’s done with the actors there- some have been treated horribly. There was a whole Twitter thread on it!

The Izziieee fiasco still tops all though! 😆

oh man i will never forget the izzie drama lol katherine was also full of herself but also her standing up for TR against that actor who used a slur against him I think she had a soft spot for that fired actor lol no wonder he came back for cristinas farewell lol but look in the end Alex actor left refused to film only did a voiceover and they reunited him with izzie lol and destroyed that over propped jo and alex pairing lol
