Has the ghost of Nicola’s past returned to haunt Luke Newton?
Hold onto your bonnets, “Bridgerton” fans, because things are about to get interesting in the world of Nicola Coughlan. Remember all those lingering glances and red carpet sparks between Nicola and her devastatingly handsome co-star, Luke Newton? Well, throw a smoldering ex-boyfriend into the mix, and you've got yourselves a recipe for some serious drama.
The internet, in its infinite wisdom (and penchant for unearthing juicy gossip), has dug up an intriguing tidbit: Nicola used to date Eamon Farren, the smoldering Australian actor known for his role in "The Witcher.
And wouldn't you know it, the timing of this revelation is impeccable.
Remember that electric connection we all witnessed between Nicola and Luke? The one that had "Polin" shippers (that’s Penelope and Colin for those not in the know) practically combusting with excitement? Well, apparently, those longing glances weren't lost on eagle-eyed fans, who promptly went digging into Nicola's past.
And boy, did they find something interesting.
Videos and photos of Nicola and Eamon from their time together have been making the rounds on TikTok, sending the internet into a tizzy.
“Wait, is that Nicola with…Eamon Farren? The Eamon Farren from ‘The Witcher’?”, one incredulous fan commented.
"It all makes sense now!" exclaimed another. "Remember when Luke described his ideal type – tall, blue eyes, charming accent? That's Eamon to a T!"
Now, before we jump to any conclusions, it's worth noting that Nicola and Eamon are both adults who are perfectly capable of having past relationships. But the timing of this revelation, coupled with the undeniable chemistry between Nicola and Luke, has certainly raised a few eyebrows.
To add fuel to the fire, Nicola and Eamon are currently starring together in the new comedy series "Big Mood." While there's no confirmation of any on-set awkwardness, the internet, as we know, abhors a vacuum.
“Imagine being Luke, seeing your co-star/rumored love interest giggling with her ridiculously attractive ex on set,” one fan mused on Twitter. “Talk about an awkward work environment!”
Only time will tell how this will all play out. Will Nicola and Luke’s rumored romance fizzle out before it even begins? Or will this simply add another layer of intrigue to their already captivating dynamic?
One thing’s for sure: we’ll be watching this love triangle (or should we say love square?) very closely. Stay tuned!
