One solution, as has happened in season three, is to play with the established order of things. Though Benedict Bridgerton’s romance follows on from that of his brother Anthony’s in Quinn’s book series, the TV show has (rightly!) vaulted over that to first show the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington.
Their other answer? Invention. In addition to TV-only characters Madame Delacroix, Will and Alice Mondrich and Queen Charlotte herself, a new raft of invented-for-the-show characters appear in season three. Here they all are, along with info on the actors playing them, plus a couple...

Welcome to this week’s Ring Of Honor review, right here on Nerdly. I’m Nathan Favel and 8Mm is a wild movie. That has nothing to do with anything, but I like pizza rolls. Okay, this show is all matches from Free Enterprise, so if you hated that show, then this episode will really piss you off.
Match #1: Mark Haskins def. Alex Shelley The following is courtesy of rohwrestling.com:
A back-and-forth battle between master technicians ended with Haskins forcing Shelley to submit to the Sharpshooter. Haskins looks to be at the absolute top of his game heading into his Triple Threat Match for the Roh World Title against champion Pco and Rush at Gateway To Honor on Feb. 29 in St. Louis.
My Opinion: 3.7 out of 5 – This was…I don’t remember the old score I gave it. Did I rate it already? Aw hell…in any case,...
