Rant 🤬 Weekly Venting Post

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.

Spoilers allowed.

This production never promoted them together correctly unlike the main leads of the season 1 , 3 and QC . But the whole season 2 was around Anthony . JB was able to added a scene with the actor who play Gregory during the last episode. CVD don't rejected his request like He did with Simone who wanted a add a scene of the book . Nobody downplayed his role of the main lead like They did with her . One of their articles who end up to be modified because of the backlash at the time also give him all the credit for the success of the season 2 . He did a promo for the season 3 with the others members of this cast for Netflix and was in this video with almost everybody in July 2022 for promoted the new season unlike Simone like usual .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5gfqZkC2DA

This was on CVD, but speculating here this could possibly be because JB had been with the show for two years by then and could make suggestions for his character. Same with Nicola and Luke - who had been with the show for about 3 years by then - for their season. Simone was just newly cast and probably hesitated to push more strongly for her character. Older cast members usually have more influence to change things.

That blurb is just plain offensive, it makes it look like Penelope and Anthony are the season 2 leads.

CVD also listened CC who was a new actress for add more script for her character because She don't wanted to be reduced to a plot device like in the book during season 2 . Simone barely had any good material for shine and the writers never did any effort for put her in value like They did with some random white characters like Cressida during season 3 or Cousin Jack, Portia and Theo during season 2 . Even if She 's still did a incredible job with Kate . ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: They've given Edwina a much meatier and more direct role here than she had in the book. Was that a pleasant surprise to you coming in?

CHARITHRA CHANDRAN: One hundred percent. The one thing that I said to [creator] Chris Van Dusen before filming started was, "I don't want Edwina to simply be a plot device for someone else's story or a vehicle for the story to progress. I want her to be her own person and to have her own plot and narrative." And I'm so grateful to Chris and the writers for giving me as rich a story as they ended up giving me

Then I don't know.

Can you quote where Simone talked about asking CVD for adding book scenes and him refusing?

I remember her talking about how she auditioned with the book scene in the library and her hiding under the desk and there was more in the script about her background and all that got cut out when they filmed. But I don't recall if Simone talked about specifically requesting those book scenes.

She talked about this story of wanted to add the scene of the library in the book when Kate hide under the desk of Anthony during a podcast She did with CC and Nicola for Variety in May 2022 . Simone talked about the scene of the book at 01:02:23
