There were three reasons to watch Bridgerton; the story, the sex scenes with the Duke of Hastings, and Regé-Jean Page, who played him. Well, today, Netflix got rid of two of those reasons. That is because they announced that Page will not be returning for the second season.
Lady Whistledown’s SOCIETY PAPERS
Dearest Readers,
While all eyes turn to Lord Anthony Bridgerton’s quest to find a Viscountess, we bid adieu to Rege-Jean Page, who so triumphantly played the Duke of Hastings. We’ll miss Simon’s presence onscreen, but he will always be a part of the Bridgerton family. Daphne will remain a devoted wife and sister, helping her brother navigate the upcoming social season and what it has to offer — more intrigue and romance than my readers may be able to bear.
Yours Truly, Lady Whistledown
No offense to Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony Bridgerton, your sex scenes were nice, but they were not naughty like Page’s. Therefore, you should spend some time working on it if you want us to watch season two.
Why does Shonda Rhimes always get rid of the good-looking, sexy ones?
UPDATE: Regé-Jean Page responded to the news, “Pleasure and a privilege! An honour to be a member of the family – on and off screen, cast, crew and incredible fans – the love is real and will just keep growing ❤️💫”
At least he got to host Saturday Night Live because of this role.

Back in 1991, Jamie Foxx and David Alan Grier worked together on In Living Color. Now 30 years later, they are reuniting on Netflix’s Dad Stop Embarrassing Me.
Instead of playing equals as they did on the sketch show, this time around, Grier is playing Foxx’s dad on the sitcom. I would love to know how that phone call went. Did Foxx call him and say, “Dude, I have the perfect role for you on my new show.” Then he told him what it was. Grier was like, that won’t be believable, so Foxx told him to grow a big bushy grey beard. Do you think it worked?
The sitcom is not just about them. Foxx plays a successful businessman and bachelor who suddenly becomes a full-time dad to his daughter Sasha (Kyla-Drew). He is going to need all the help he can get, and he will get that from his dad and sister (Porscha Coleman). But who is going to help Sasha adjust to all of them?
We will just have to tune into Netflix on April 14th to find out. I don’t know about you, but I will be watching because that trailer had me laughing out loud.
We have seen foreign films dubbed into English, but how many of us have seen an English production dubbed into another language? I haven’t. Well, now I have because Netflix shared a video of Cobra Kai spoken in different languages. You can hear Billy Zabka in Japanese, Ralph Macchio in Korean, Martin Kove in Spanish, and the rest of the cast speak Turkish, Portuguese, Italian, Hindi, German, and French.
I don’t know about you, but I kind of like them better in the other dialects. They sound more fierce. Which language do you think they sounded best in?
This is a spoiler alert for anyone who has not seen the third season of Cobra Kai on Netflix. For everyone else, this is really cool.
So you know that fight scene in the season finale where Johnny Lawrence and Kreese finally have their day in the ring? Well, not only did it look intense, it sounded that way too. In order to make it sound that way, they have to recreate it in post during an ADR session. Producer Jon Hurwitz shared that session, and Martin Kove really got into it.
Watch as Kove not only grunted through the fight, but he also acted it out. It was almost like Billy Zabka was in the room punching him all over again. Or at faking like he was punching him. No actors were hurt in the making of that fight scene.
Don’t you just love behind the scenes videos that show that everything in Hollywood is real?
We are less than two weeks into 2021, and it is going to be a year full of stars. That is because Netflix has a bunch of them starring in their movies. Today they announced who several of the big names are going to be in their weekly film series.
They include celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock, Dwayne Johnson, Idris Elba, Meryl Streep, Zendaya, Jennifer Lawrence, Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Garner, Gal Gadot, Dave Bautista, Naomi Watts, Jake Gyllenhaal, John David Washington, and Octavia Spencer. Two big names are even going behind the camera for their directorial debuts, and they are Halle Berry and Lin-Manuel Miranda.
That is the good news. The bad news is that All the Boys and The Kissing Booth are coming to an end. Can’t we turn the latter movie into a series? I don’t want it to end.
Personally, I am loving this news. I donate platelets every two weeks, and we get to watch Netflix as we do it. This news means I will always have something good to watch.
