Bridgerton S3: Anthony Might Just Be a Crucial Part in Polin Getting Together

As the highly anticipated third season of Bridgerton approaches, fans are eagerly speculating about the upcoming love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, aka Polin. Now that we know they'll be the main focus of the season, what has everyone intrigued is how exactly their relationship will blossom.

Well, eagle-eyed fans may have uncovered an important clue suggesting that Anthony Bridgerton, Colin's older brother, might play a crucial role in bringing Polin together.

Throughout the first two seasons of Bridgerton, Colin and Penelope maintained a close friendship. Penelope, hiding a long-held crush on Colin, had hoped for a romantic connection between them. Unfortunately, Colin never reciprocated her feelings, seeing her only as a friend. And in the closing moments of the season 2 finale, Penelope's heart shattered when she overheard Colin telling a group of fellow high society men that he 'would never dream of courting Penelope Featherington.' Suffice to say, things weren't exactly looking hopeful for the two after this.

So, it came as a surprise to many when it was announced that the leading couple of the upcoming installment would be Polin. Considering where their relationship left off in the previous season, everyone was left wondering how the current dynamic between them would evolve into a romantic connection.

However, fans have a compelling theory that suggests Anthony might hold the key to their union, and they even have evidence to back it up.

Observant viewers were quick to notice that Anthony witnessed Penelope running away after Colin's hurtful comment, and they're speculating this could unfold in one of a few ways:

• Colin may mention that he hadn't seen Penelope or that she had been giving him the cold shoulder since the ball, so Anthony will tell him he saw her in tears. Colin would then connect the dots and realize Penelope's affection for him.

• Anthony will discover Colin deep in thought about Penelope and offer him advice, encouraging Colin to pursue her.

• Anthony and Colin will have a conversation about women and Anthony will offer some insight in a big brotherly manner, but with subtle hints at Penelope.

With these fan theories gaining traction, it appears that Anthony's involvement in Polin's journey towards courtship may very well be plausible. After all, it seems highly unlikely showrunners would include a scene like that without utilizing it in the following season. But whether or not it will actually happen, the prospect of Anthony acting as a catalyst in uniting Polin is certainly exciting.
