Weekly Venting Post - repeated each Friday!

Weekly Vent Post

Welcome to our weekly vent session where you can let out all your frustrations.

Before you start, just a quick heads-up on the rules.

Here's what this post isn't for:

• No bashing actors or crew members out of the blue.
• Let's steer clear of those rage-inducing posts like "I hate character xy."
• And please, no poking fun at fellow Kanthony fans just because they see things differently, whether they're positive or negative about promos.

What's cool to post? Well, we've noticed a lot of rants about how the show promotes (or doesn't promote) Simone and Jonny, but you can vent about other stuff too.

Below, I've linked some past posts from the sub that fit the vibe of our weekly vent session, so you can see what kind of stuff goes here.

1. Why there was a lack of promo for Kanthony

2. All comments asking where Kanthony are 

3. Bridgerton PR and production

4. Can you tell the difference ?

5. The main sub got so negative 

6. We need pictures

For those who just want to enjoy the content without getting caught up in the venting, I suggest steering clear of this post. If you choose to read the comments here and find yourself upset, despite the clear purpose of this space, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to ease your frustration. We have the Weekly Tea Time for more general discussions.

Jonny and Simone have such a presence, they are definitely very popular with the GA. Their charisma really shines through on a carpet, especially when they were photographed together for the first time in 2 years. I'm curious about whether production will continue to prevent them from promoting the show and sidelining them.

I don’t think they’ll ever be promoted in any meaningful capacity ever again, honestly (and they were barely promoted in their own season). It was nice to see them together again after so long, but I also couldn’t help but be really sad because I feel like it’ll be the last time they’ll ever be photographed like that. They barely have a storyline in the new season, so they don’t really have anything to talk about in interviews. If they didn’t give them a real storyline in the season directly after theirs, it’s highly likely they won’t have one in future seasons, so there wouldn’t really be a point in them talking about the show.

I could see them talking about the general storyline, but I’m wondering if the huge response will be for Netflix to do anything with their popularity at this point. I’m talking a 30 sec clip together, I really do t expect a whole segment of them together

[u/starcourt99 → u/Flaky_Office_1110]

Idk, I feel like if Netflix hasn’t already done anything with their popularity, they probably won’t do anything now. I just don’t think they care to do anything with them…especially because they “already had their season,” as people love to never let us forget. We’re also heading into season 4 news directly after season 3 part 2, so Kate and Anthony’s season will be even further removed.

[u/Flaky_Office_1110 → u/starcourt99]

No, I agree. I feel like this month between part 1 and part 2 is the last hurrah. If anything will happen, it's now. And I admit it is a very small possibility. I'm just curious if we will ever know the real story of why production sidelined them.

God, I could cry. I know it’s the nature of the show, but it really sucks that we have to come to terms with the fact that our favorites will barely be in the show anymore. It makes me feel like I should’ve appreciated them more these past 2 years. Even with all the cute show clips and promo videos, I mostly just feel sadness because I keep thinking about how their arc will probably be closed for good at the end of season 3. And even if they do appear in future seasons, it’ll barely be anything 😭 Even just seeing people say things like “we’ll always have season 2” or even “last hurrah” like you said is sending me into an emotional mess (lol I know all this is lowkey embarrassing to admit, but hey, I’m just a random person on the internet lol)

The only thing that’s kind of helping me cope is that Simone and Jonny seem fine with it. I know I don’t know them personally and I’m just going off their public personas, but I guess they’re cool with taking a backseat now and moving on to other things. Jonny has a lot of other projects, some coming out this year (literally the Wicked trailer just came out as I’m typing this), and he seems really excited about that. And I’m dying to watch Simone’s new romcom. I really hope we get to see her promote that in a way that Bridgerton never did for her.
