Bridgerton has introduced audience to several loveable character , but these five merit more covert time .
Unlike season 3 ofBridgerton , Cressida ’s fib terminate there . There is nothing about her being sent aside , or anything about her parent pressure her into marriage . She also does not appear in any of the trace novels in theBridgertonseries . Leaving Cressida ’s story with her going to Wales suggest that the makers ofBridgertonthe tv set series may have more plans for the character inBridgertonseason 4 .

It ’s inauspicious that the manufacturing business ofBridgertondecided not to go with the other closing , which would have outfit in well with the feminist composition inBridgerton .
It ’s unfortunate that the Lord ofBridgertondecided not to go with the other ending , which would have go in well with the women’s liberationist theme inBridgerton . It would have been so square to have Lady Cowper be enliven by her daughter ’s bravery , to go against her husband ’s wishing and stand by Cressida ’s side , even if it intend being away from London fellowship .
According to showrunner Jess Brownell , as beautiful as that alternate termination was , the show ’s producers decided to nix it . “ It feel like an ending for Cressida , ” Bronwell said . “ It felt like it wrapped up her narrative and we intentionally want to leave it so that we can tell a spot more fib with Cressida next time of year . ”
While Brownell has a fair item , it ’s still a bit disappoint thatBridgertonfans did n’t get to see Cressida get at least a somewhat positivist ending inBridgertonseason 3 . Hopefully , whatever the creators have in entrepot for her in time of year 4 , Cressida will find the happiness she deserves .
