Bridgerton Must Change Marina Thompson's Future To Avoid A Worse Crime
Netflix's Bridgerton series needs to rethink how Marina Thompson's story ends and change her future to avoid a worse crime against the character. Bridgerton season 2 revealed that Marina Thompson (Ruby Barker) is now a mother to twins and married, somewhat unhappily, to Sir Phillip Crane (Chris Fulton). She was introduced in season 1 as a cousin who had come to stay with the Featheringtons during the social season. Marina doesn't have nearly as big of a role in the books as she does in Netflix's Bridgerton series. In Julia Quinn's book To Sir Phillip, With Love, which focuses on Eloise Bridgerton and her love story, Marina is the deceased wife of Sir Phillip Crane and a distant cousin to the Bridgertons.
Marina has gone through quite a few negative events in her character arch on the Netflix series. The reason she was sent to live with the Featheringtons was partly so that she could be presented at court, but also because her father found out about her love affair with George Crane, which left her pregnant. After an ill-fated engagement to Colin Bridgerton, she then learns that George never abandoned her, but was instead killed in battle. This version of her story is already a deviation from the books. In Quinn's original story, Marina was engaged to George, and when George died, she married his brother Phillip instead. Eloise is Phillip's second wife after Marina dies of a fever eight years into their marriage. However, there's no mention of an out-of-wedlock pregnancy or an engagement to Colin Bridgerton.
