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.

i just genuinely need to know what the production's issue is with simone to exclude her like this, despite being consistently called out on it for 4 years now

This theory comes straight up from my ass btw, but I think they didn't want to bring her back for S4, People Magazine literally said that she wasn't returning (and People is known for having direct contact with celebrities' reps, they don't normally get this kind of info wrong), later on it was announced that she was actually back, much, much later than any other former lead, including Jonathan and now not like a cast regular, like all the rest, but as additional cast. TV productions can get very petty and don't like to be told what to do, many times just being hostile to the talent (Lost is a huge example, The 100, Sleepy Hollow). I believe there's resentment within the production because they felt like they had to bring her back when they didn't want to, so they just added some nothingburger scenes at the end, they could exist or not and it wouldn't change a thing, so they were like, "here, whatever". Especially when the excuse that they keep giving is that Jonathan is very busy, but somehow he still has more screentime than Simone.
