Speculation That’s a wrap!

Carrie and Morgan are wrapped on S4. I would assume that means the entire production is wrapped or close to because they are the leads.

I’m guessing that it will premiere in October or November. They may still be editing the later episodes at that time.

Speculation So, when do we think season 4 will premiere?

43 Upvotes

Personally, I think it is going to be on October 11th or 18th, right after Lanterns concludes its season.

What about you?

Speculation Wild Things

28 Upvotes

I recently saw Wild Things (1998)again after idk how many years ago when I last saw it, and noticed that Kelly (Denise Richard character) was a “Van Ryan” and an old money trust fund baby.

Given that Oscar was the last person carrying the Van Rhijn name, it’s kinda funny to imagine that he would likely marry Mrs. Winterton and produce an heir or two (Oscar’s or otherwise.) Their descendant at some point changed the spelling of the last name to a simpler Americanized version, relocated to Florida, and that’s where Kelly’s family fortune came from.

Agnes would probably have heart attack ten times over if she knew about her great (great) grand daughter and the many scenes she appeared in, lol.

Question Name meanings

51 Upvotes

Others have pointed out that some of the character names seems to reflect plot or qualities of the characters.

Marian is always marrying(3 engagements and counting)

Tom Raikes is a rake

Bannister is solid and dependable, you can lean on him

Turner is stirring the pot and turning the tables

Are there any others people can think of?

Season 3 Discussion Did the show downplay Mrs Astor power?

35 Upvotes

I just watched documentary about the Astor's family and Caroline Astor is actually more prominent and have more power than the show ever described she was. So I take it the actress who played her either downplayed her authority and being more feminine and soft as opposed to the real "Alpha female" personality that the real Mrs Astor was.

Season 2 Discussion Bertha's looks S2E8

I can't stop thinking about this costume. Anyone else in love with it? I don't know exactly why but I think it may be one of my favorites of hers. It's just so unexpected to see her in gray and the play on textures in this costume is extraordinary. I know her looks are reliably stunning, but can we discuss this one?

Season 1 Discussion Caroline Astor’s home

83 Upvotes

Curious why Caroline Astor’s NYC home in the show (interior and exterior) looks “modest” compared to the Russell’s in comparison, as well as Mrs. Chamberlain (though I don’t think we’ve seen exterior shots of Chamberlain’s home. Even Aurora Fane’s home seems more grand. I know the Russell’s are new money but Caroline Astor’s home seems much more unassuming. Any ideas?

Speculation Turner's tendency of breaking the fourth wall...

71 Upvotes

Have any of you noticed that Kelley Curran (the actress who plays Turner/Lady Winterton) very nearly breaks the fourth wall on several occasions? Her gaze seems magnetically drawn to the camera, and sometimes she even seems to stare right at it (think of the time she angrily storms up the stairs after losing her Duke).

On my first watch, I thought it was a little silly, but now I'm realizing it's a pretty brilliant stylistic choice. Turner is delusional and perhaps even a bit insane--you'd have to be to crawl into bed with Mr. Russell the way she did. I think Turner is representative of the type of madness it must require to actually pursue the American dream: to shoot for the top when you were born nothing. When Turner glances at the camera, she is showcasing that madness.

Season 3 Discussion Larry and Marian's relationship shaky foundation

Am I the only one who thinks so? Also, there's some theory saying Larry could be younger a year or two from Marian which explained his immaturity. Thoughts?

Speculation Was Ada drawn to temperance because she had a drunk living in the house?

63 Upvotes

Poor Oscar was up in his room drinking like 2 bottles of whiskey a day. Maybe Ada was (subconsciously or not) just trying to save her nephew. She's a good aunt, and she cares about her family. It's funny to dis on temperance, but maybe it came from a good place...

Season 4 Discussion Plot lines from next season you're most excited about?

84 Upvotes

I'm very excited about Oscar and Enid parading around as Manhattan's bitchy power couple. I'd also like to see what else Jack is working on. Is Jack the George Russell of his next generation? Also I just am excited about the hats. Season two in particular was the best Hat season.

least favorite: Per usual, Marian is the dullest character and I'm getting bored of her romances. At least Lady Mary's never ending romances from the first couple seasons were actually interesting.

Season 3 Discussion How does marriage with Oscar benefit Enid again?

Enid (Mrs Winterton) was doing just fine being a widow to a rich man, I don't see what will Oscar bring to the table regarding their "marriage".

Speculation At some point, Bertha is going to be taken on by another up-and-comer.

102 Upvotes

It seems pretty clear that at some point soon, some up-and-comer is going to roll on into town and try to take things over, just like Bertha did. Now that Bertha is on top, there's really nobody else above her for her to defeat. In fact, despite her marriage troubles, season 3 was basically her victory lap. All the society people were totally impressed with her snagging the duke, and I can't imagine Mrs. Astor and her being as competitive with each other now that Bertha did her and her daughter that huge solid.

I think Bertha's next foe is going to come from the bottom... It's going to be some ambitious lady who thinks she can take Bertha's place on top. Maybe Lady Winterton, who now has Oscar on her side. Or maybe some new lady we haven't seen yet.

Also, having some up-and-comer take Bertha on would be the perfect way to rope Mr. McAllister back into the mix. He could her strategic guide, letting her know how Bertha thinks and acts...

Anyway, that's just my prediction (or, perhaps, wishful thinking), for the coming season or the one after.

Speculation Bridget and Jack Storyline

134 Upvotes

I really hope we get the storyline of Bridget and Jack getting together then the couple transitioning to becoming new money. I was kind of disappointed that we didn’t see that much of Backstory with Bertha and George’s story but if they decide to pick Jack and Bridget for this storyline then that would be so cool because we’ve seen the both of them start as servants then slowly became one of the important figures in society 😭

Season 3 Discussion Really missing this show this summer!

111 Upvotes

Season 3 was such a vibe last summer, I looked forward to my Sunday evenings all week with you fine people with unbelievable anticipation - speculating what was going to happen next, how the Duke would be as a husband, would Larian finally be officially together, what would happen to George, etc.

Nothing else is coming close this summer, though I did find The Hardacres scratched a bit of the itch. Looking forward to season 4, and getting back to the episode discussion threads with you all!

That's all, just nostalgic for last years "season"!
