@elizabeth_8212 @WarlegganGeorge See now Hughβs feelings are much more foggy to me. Do you think his feelings were genuine? I always felt that he just enjoyed the chase. Total cad, as far as I could tell. π I wish I could find some redeemable quality about him, aside from Josh being quite beautiful. π
@elizabeth_8212 @WarlegganGeorge So much agreeeeee. People like to point out that Demelza didnβt understand it herself, which while entirely true, really doesnβt make anything better as far as I can tell. π Iβd much rather be able to wrap my mind around it. It was just so odd!
@elizabeth_8212 @WarlegganGeorge Oh, I agree! But her love for Hugh didnβt hold a candle to her love for Ross! Hughβs storyline was my least favorite of them all. I feel like he existed only to level the proverbial playing field between Ross and Demelza. Unnecessary, in my opinion!
@WarlegganGeorge @elizabeth_8212 Ah, very true! I suppose weβll have to wait for Series 4 then, for the true answer to your question, Sir! With that in mind, however, I still argue that Demelza would only go to bed with a man she loved. If that were NOT the case, she would have likely gone to bed with McNeil.
@elizabeth_8212 @WarlegganGeorge There are also further quotes to sustain Demezla's true feelings towards Hugh, saying she was warmed by his love, and returned of it. Couple that together with previous, and the fact that I don't believe Demelza is the type to bed someone she doesn't love and...there you have it.
@elizabeth_8212 @WarlegganGeorge Actually, she does love Hugh. I donβt want to spoil too much for those that havenβt read all of the books through, but in the later books of the series, Demelza tells a much grown Clowance (on the wings of love herself) about how she felt love for two men in her life.
@zanny_rose Yes she did. In 1700βs England, engagements were legally binding contracts. You should read the books. Francis was not prepared to let Elizabeth go. If he was giving her the opportunity to break that contract, he would have said so.
@leelee8866 AND THEN THEY SPENT HALF AN EPISODE IN THE FOLLOWING SEASON OPENER trying to act like Jim and Pam weren't together! πππππ NBC was being a tease!
@leelee8866 I'm ALMOST glad I didn't get to watch this series when it was airing new! BECAUSE THE SUMMER BETWEEN THIS EPISODE AND THE NEXT would have killed me dead. πππ
@leelee8866 Same! I already know what I would have said. It would have gone something like this, "...EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE."
@zanny_rose Demelza didn't go just to be a nice person; she wanted back in Ross's good graces. She went because Ross was angry with her, after she lied to him about Verity and Blamey, and caused a rift between Ross and his family. Coupled with her hand in the demise of Ross's copper company.
@zanny_rose Demelza was the first to go, but she was with the Trenwith Poldark's for a single afternoon and fell ill that night. Putrid throat takes days to a week to incubate, meaning she was already infected when went to help Francis and Elizabeth.
