Here are the Bridgerton characters as south Dublin archetypes

Because you can't tell me Eloise doesn't go to NCAD.

Last week, I watched all three seasons of Bridgerton, and, gentle reader, I loved it. The costumes, the pageantry, the swoon – I was swept away. One sticking point for me, however was Eloise Bridgerton, played by Claudia Jessie. She is absolutely one of my faves, but I found myself unable to fall for the regency era fantasy, because this girl studies sculpture at NCAD. I mean, look at that fringe? Eloise was a Workman's regular until it got "mad gentrified". She read Megan Nolan's Acts of Desperation cover to cover.

But perhaps Eloise wouldn't be alone in the smoking area. Now, I'm aware absolutely no one asked for this, but here's the rest of the Bridgerton cast as south Dublin archetypes.

Francesca Bridgerton

She traipses the halls of the Royal Irish Academy of Music every Saturday. She's in a prestigious youth orchestra you've never heard of, and once she's finished with rehearsals you can find her mulling around Central Bank with her pals.
