Though she’s never had a full-blown romance plot of her own, Eloise Bridgerton has played a major role in each season. Eloise is introduced as the black sheep of the family, an independent thinker who would rather spend her days reading and discussing ideas than dancing at balls and looking for a husband. But the Bridgerton season 3 ending saw Eloise move to Scotland in a bid to step outside her comfort zone and find herself. And hopefully, when she gets her own season, Eloise will find a different partner than her book husband.
Eloise Bridgerton’s Book Husband Is Sir Phillip Crane — Who Married Marina
Phillip & Marina’s Book Storyline Is Marked By Tragedy Which Would Clash With The Show’s Light Tone
In Julia Quinn’s To Sir Phillip, With Love, Eloise Bridgerton’s eventual husband is Sir Phillip Crane, a character who has already been introduced in the Bridgerton TV series. In season 1, Phillip (Chris Fulton) marries Marina (Ruby Barker) after his brother George, her lover and the father of her unborn baby dies in war. While Phillip and Marina aren’t in Bridgerton season 3, season 2 sees Colin visit the Cranes to find Marina living in an unhappy marriage.
In the Bridgerton book series, things take an even darker turn for Marina, as she attempts suicide and eventually dies, leaves Sir Phillip deeply affected. Eloise, in a bid to console him, begins a correspondence with Sir Phillip that leads to a romantic relationship and their eventual marriage.
While this storyline offers rich material for character development, it presents challenges for the Bridgerton series. Marina’s story is heavily laden with grief and tragedy, which contrasts sharply with the series’ typically light-hearted and romantic tone. Including such dark themes could disrupt the show’s overall mood, which generally focuses on romance and societal drama with a touch of humor. Marina has already endured significant hardship, and adding more tragedy through her past could feel excessive. The series may want to steer clear of this heavy backstory to maintain its characteristic charm and ensure Eloise’s romantic journey remains engaging and hopeful.

Eloise Should Either Have a Scottish Romance or Reunite with Theo in Her Bridgerton Season
Why These Storylines Might Work Better Than the Book’s Plot
Given the challenges associated with adapting To Sir Phillip, With Love‘s darker storyline, there are alternative romantic possibilities for Eloise’s Bridgerton season. One enticing option is for Eloise to explore a Scottish romance. This storyline could be inspired by Eloise’s journey to Scotland with Francesca Bridgerton and her husband, as it has the potential to introduce Eloise to new characters and romantic prospects, providing a fresh and captivating narrative arc while aligning with the show’s adventurous spirit.
Another compelling possibility is for Eloise to reunite with Theo Sharpe, a character introduced in season 2. Theo (Calam Lynch) is a printer’s assistant who shares a deep intellectual connection with Eloise. Their chemistry and mutual respect suggest a romance rooted in genuine understanding and shared values. Reuniting with Theo would offer Eloise a romance that is both heartfelt and intellectually stimulating, creating a storyline that resonates with viewers while aligning with the show’s themes of love and personal growth.
