Its no use I simply don't see the attractiveness of Aiden Turner as Ross Poldark. He just looks grumpy and a bit smelly most of the time. I like George Warleggan but only because he was such a splendid Freddy Threepwood in the Blandings series.
Is anyone else puzzled about what Elizabeth actually does apart from wafting around a bit looking lovely? As she was left with no money whatsoever I would have thought she would be in the scullery scrubbing home-grown vegetables to make soup or baking her own bread?
Or was she not so hard up after all?
I have never seen her do anything (apart from that scene where ...)
Well, we all saw that one coming didn't we? Wicked stepdad sends lad off to Dotheboys Hall to be "educated" while she brings up his (what will surely turn out to be) odious brood. Serves you right, Elizabeth! I'm another who can't wait for the next series.
Isn't the little boy who plays Jeremy Poldark just gorgeous? I bet the actors who play Jud and Prudy make a fuss of him because he's so giggly in his scenes with them.
Yes; he was gorgeous. I do prefer this Demelza though but, as I've said before Elizabeth is too drippy. I thought 'the old one' had a haughty beauty about her [was surprised to learn that she was American or Canadian]. I thought last nights episode was good, having been disappointed with the rest of the series. I spent a lot of my [mis spent] youth living in Cornwall being spurned/cheated on by various boyfriends, so I can relate to Demelza .
Far too much cantering there and back along the cliffs, too many waves crashing on the rocks , too much paddling in the freezing sea, too much staring into space, too many drippy men and too much sighing.... I think this series could have been done and dusted in 6 episodes. I preferred the original with Robin Ellis and the late Angharad Rees. Just saying .
I decided after last weeks episode that she is pregnant This week we saw a bit too much of Elizabeth standing starring into space or out the window. Pretty boring really, what with that and Ross on his horse at the gate starring up at the house. Shame now his fortunes' have turned his marriage is down the pan. Oh no, wait that's his own fault.
Poor Demelza she looks heartbroken by what Ross has done, such great acting by her last night i had a lump in my throat for her. Lets hope she triumphs in the end.
As reported by The Guardian, Fay Maxted, chief executive of the Survivors Trust, an organization for sexual assault charities in the U.K., said, “This is some sort of rape fantasy where the man is overcome by his lusty passions and the woman resists but she really wants him after all. It’s a complete rape myth."
