Spoilers for the Netflix seriesQueen Charlottefollow.
Finally, we get a deep dive intoQueen Charlotte’s right-hand man, Brimsley.BridgertonprequelQueen Charlotte,created by Shonda Rhimes, didn’t have the same Julia Quinn source material to base its story on. Instead,Bridgertonreaders got to be surprised by how the spinoff unfolded — especially the relationship between Brimsley and Reynolds, King George’s butler. In bothBridgertonandQueen Charlotte,adult Reynolds is nowhere in sight, leaving us all with a royal mystery: What happened to him? At theQueen Charlottepremiere in Los Angeles, young Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) and young Reynolds (Freddie Dennis) both insist that adult Reynolds was vacationing in the Maldives instead of hanging out with King George. However, adult Brimsley (Hugh Sachs) had a little more insight into Brimsley and Reynolds’s future.
“There was a scene that we didn’t film, because it was cut, where I was going to meet the older Reynolds,” Sachs told Vulture. “He was the love of his life, and for whatever reason, they could not stay together. So when they would pass each other in the passageway in the deleted scene, it wasn’t a toxic moment. Because of the world they inhabited, it was still a hangable offense to be gay, and it was just not possible.” Hopefully, this cut scene means we might get an adult Reynolds in the next season ofBridgerton.Time to start fan-casting.
