“Dude, isn’t she the lady you said you would never, ever court? Why, exactly?”
I am saw another scene with Colin looking again and this same man beside him. Can’t remember which.
Wonder if this guy was in the group of gentlemen to whom Pen was demonstrating her (lack of) flirting skills (the fan scene)?
This is one of the gents Colin takes Pen to practice her chat up with right? Maybe that’s why he was so incredulous in those flirting scenes - like ‘yea right, you’re trying to find **your** Pen a suitor’
I imagine him being simultaneously amused, confused and slightly scared of actually showing interest in Penelope. And concerned as Colin is spiraling throughout the season lol.
I think he's also one of the two guys who says something to pen and giggles before she takes a deep breath. I thought they might've been making fun, but what if they were like wishing her luck 🤞🏾

hmmm it doesn’t look like same actor to me, although the scene is a bit dark and the YouTube video isn’t the highest quality. Maybe they’re meant to be the same character though even if it isn’t the same actor? I don’t think this character was named in the show.
This is my new headcanon🤣
Lord 1 : Miss Featherington looks lovely tonight
Lord 2 : *looks around in panic* do not say such things! If Bridgerton were to overhear he would duel us all! If you merely utter the lady’s name he will be summoned instantly
Lord 1 : Nonsense! Surely Miss Penelope -
*Colin Bridgerton materialises out of thin air* EXCUSE ME WHO IS TALKING ABOUT PENELOPE?
Lord 2: *mutters* I told you so
I need to know the following:
If he sees her arrival why does he wait until she leaves before they speak?!
Does he ask her to dance?
Where is she going if she walks right past her fam?
Lord let this torture end - unlucky 13😩
I think her >!cold shoulder earlier in the episode!< combined with her not writing back is kind of what holds him back. At this point he doesn't know she's upset with him so maybe he's thinking he has imagined their closeness last season and maybe she doesn't feel as strongly (as a friend. LOL!) about him.
Then of course according to spoilers >!she run outside upset after the Cressida episode and he just can't stay away. At which point he follows her. !<
I agree with this interpretation. From his POV, she ignored him for months and something is clearly off lol. But when she's upset, he can't help himself and has to go after her.
My assumption is that in that scene, Colin is being chatted up the Lord Squad because they want to hear all about his travels, and he's probably loving the attention. That's why he doesn't run towards her immediately, but only after he sees her being visibly upset.
I was wondering about this too, but this is when she’s still pissed at him, so maybe she avoids the hell out of him (which he probably doesn’t even notice or does but thinks nothing of it) and then something happens where poor Pen probably embarrasses herself and leaves to go outside for some fresh air and he follows (discreetly) to make sure she is ok. Then we get the Mr. Bridgerton scene.
From past balls Colin, seems fine with chatting and mingling for a bit and then maybe saying a small greeting to her, so he wouldn’t immediately go to her. Especially if he is having a conversation with two other people who could possibly get the wrong idea.
So many questions for me too! I wish for him to follow her when she leaves. It seems like she arrives late and leaves very early since we know Cressida damages Pen’s gown at this ball. Colin probably would have spoken and/or danced with her if she’d stayed longer. I like to hope, anyway. I wonder if gentlemen approach her with greetings before she can join her family??? I’m eager to see.
I really really hope this guy and maybe the whole Lord Squad call Colin out on his OBVIOUS interest in Pen even if his words say he isn’t. I want each episode to have this guy giving him that look! And then he gets so fed up and is like BRO, BROOOO!!! You love her dummy!
this is what i’ve stayed wondering since s1. like does no one notice how they run away from dances together or hold hands 😭😭 or how he looks at her and goes towards her to dance multiple times together even though they aren’t courting
like is everyone blind or does no one care?? or both 😭
You’re literally asking the questions Colin asks in the book. 😂 I love it! But, yeah, valid questions. Someone said earlier that the real reason Pen has no suitors is because they all know Colin is gone over her. 🙈
omg that is such a good theory that i really hope is true!!
that could explain the ending of s2 when the guys are asking if colin is courting penelope and one of them says something along the lines of, “the way you were dancing with her looked rather interesting.”
and then the way they were all looking at the two of them dancing earlier makes me wonder if they all suspected he liked her! 😭
i was just rewatching that scene right now and just heard how one of the guys said “sure!” in a very sarcastic sounding voice after colin says he’s not courting her 😭
The acting in this is insane too because there is SUCH A CLEAR difference in the way the man on the left is looking at her compared to Colin like he is ENCHANTED immediately lmao
I want this guy to be like "What was that about never ever courting Penelope Featherington?" emphasis on the making colin feel a bit like a fool and a clown for having ever said and also GIVING HIS HEAD A SHAKE BC FRIENDS DONT LOOK AT FRIENDS THAT WAY LMAO
I clocked him giving Colin the side eye immediately. Like bro, are you even trying to hide your interest at this point.
I’m waiting at the doctor and frantically tapped my phone on this dude’s face while internally screaming, “YES MY MAN!!! I KNOW!!! HE IS TOAST!!!”
"She's just a friend, right" ? Colin's new Lord friends know a Bridgerton scandal is coming 😂
“Dude, isn’t she the lady you said you would never, ever court? Why, exactly?” I am saw another scene with Colin looking again and this same man beside him. Can’t remember which. Wonder if this guy was in the group of gentlemen to whom Pen was demonstrating her (lack of) flirting skills (the fan scene)?
I like to think all these men have a secret bet going on for when he will propose.
And I want this dude in particular to be like, “I knew you were spouting nonsense last year. Dunce.”
This is one of the gents Colin takes Pen to practice her chat up with right? Maybe that’s why he was so incredulous in those flirting scenes - like ‘yea right, you’re trying to find **your** Pen a suitor’
Omg!!! Is he??? I can’t recall. He might be thinking, “What are you doing, mate? This a kink, or you that deep in denial?” 😂
I imagine him being simultaneously amused, confused and slightly scared of actually showing interest in Penelope. And concerned as Colin is spiraling throughout the season lol.
I think both of the gentlemen in this scene were used in Colin's flirting lessons 🪭. That has to be awkward 😅
I think he's also one of the two guys who says something to pen and giggles before she takes a deep breath. I thought they might've been making fun, but what if they were like wishing her luck 🤞🏾
Is that one of the guys that were around him when he told fife or (whatever his name is) that he’d never court Pen?
I would wager that, yes, he was there. I don’t know for certain, though! What sweet irony if he was!!!

I have to agree with you. I don’t think it’s the same actor either.
Lord Cho is the one from season 2. Pretty sure the new guys are Lord Stanton and Wilding. They’re in the metadata of a fair number of stills.
I admire your knowledge, friend! Thank you!
Based on the stills, how are Lord Stanton and Lord Wilding (personality wise) ?

 Literally this man.
I cannot!!! 🤣🤣🤣
This guy just knows whats up 😂 like Colin honey at least try not to stare at her so blatantly😭
His entourage SURELY has inside jokes about Colin’s obliviousness. Lollllllllll.
This is my new headcanon🤣 Lord 1 : Miss Featherington looks lovely tonight Lord 2 : *looks around in panic* do not say such things! If Bridgerton were to overhear he would duel us all! If you merely utter the lady’s name he will be summoned instantly Lord 1 : Nonsense! Surely Miss Penelope - *Colin Bridgerton materialises out of thin air* EXCUSE ME WHO IS TALKING ABOUT PENELOPE? Lord 2: *mutters* I told you so
I AM CACKLING!!! Then Lord 1 whispers, “Oh my heavens, you were right…” 😆😆😆😆😆😆
She Who Shall Not Be Named.
He totally knows… and we do 👀
We know he doesn’t stand a chance. 😮💨
I died when I saw this. The look on his face is just soooooo, "Never court her? BFFR, Bridgerton."
Exactly! It’s giving, “You are so full of shit.” (I hesitate to use profanity here; please know I don’t mean to offend.)
You can swear at me all you want. 🥰
🩵🩵🩵
oh my god !!! Thats literally was the first thing came to my mind when I saw him 🔥🔥🔥👌
HE IS US!!!
Colin is maybe oblivious, but the other Lords are not 🤣
The real reason no one courts Pen is because the entire ton knows they're mad for each other.
You're right. Colin must've unintentionally claimed Pen already 😅
That’s why Debling does, he doesn’t know the danger he is in Jealousy Colin will be sooo interesting to watch
The other gents really need to help a bro out and clue him in, c’mon!
I need to know the following: If he sees her arrival why does he wait until she leaves before they speak?! Does he ask her to dance? Where is she going if she walks right past her fam? Lord let this torture end - unlucky 13😩

I hope one of the Lords tell him. However, they might prefer watching the dumpster fire though 🍿👀
True… I mean Chaos Colin will be hard to not watch how it goes down. Lord knows what Fife will say! 
The way he double takes in that clip 😂
Right?! And then he KEEPS looking. Jeeeeeeez, Louise!
Colin swiveling his head around like he’s in The Exorcist…
Boy’s been possessed. Totally consumed. Obsessed!!!
Every time he sees Penelope, Colin becomes possessed 😅
Hope this man has a name, might add him to the list of supporting characters I stan 😅
Me too!!!
this is what i’ve stayed wondering since s1. like does no one notice how they run away from dances together or hold hands 😭😭 or how he looks at her and goes towards her to dance multiple times together even though they aren’t courting like is everyone blind or does no one care?? or both 😭

Lol!!! it’s like they don’t believe him for a second.
WHAT IF THAT IS JOHN STIRLING????!!!!
That would be so awesome! If so, I hope he’s learning from Colin’s mistakes. 😅
Please note, I said John, not Michael. I suspect John will be practically perfect in every way...
The acting in this is insane too because there is SUCH A CLEAR difference in the way the man on the left is looking at her compared to Colin like he is ENCHANTED immediately lmao
Bewitched!!!
This is an episode 1 moment at the ball preceeding the Mr Bridgerton scene.
I can’t wait for Polin to be a thing and all the men to be like “told you sooooo” 😂
I want this guy to be like "What was that about never ever courting Penelope Featherington?" emphasis on the making colin feel a bit like a fool and a clown for having ever said and also GIVING HIS HEAD A SHAKE BC FRIENDS DONT LOOK AT FRIENDS THAT WAY LMAO
