IRL that's not true -- Luke Newton is 6' and when he and Nicola Coughlan did promotional appearances I think they looked well suited to each other. But on screen I agree she overpowered him. I think it has to do with how photogenic Nicola is on camera, and with this round face and lots of hair and the way the costumes tend to display her boobs in a really prominent way -- Newton just kind of faded into the background in their love scenes. I don't think she's literally too big for him, I just think it would have been better to pair her with someone who would look more balanced on screen, especially in close up. Like the guy who plays Will Mondrich (Marins Inhangbe) would have been great.

The problem was that they were going by the books, and Pen is supposed to be with Colin, who was already cast and they prioritized casting the Bridgerton men to look like brothers more than to look good with their partners. They got lucky with Jonathan Bailey, who I thought looked perfect with Simone Ashley -- they are both long and lean and have these angular faces that were very complimentary. But Colin and Penelope weren't as good of a visual match, they should have thought about that when casting Colin.

This is also going to be problem if they ever do the Gregory season, which would be season 8 if they matched the books. Because the kid playing Gregory has even less presence on screen than Luke Newton and if they cast really great actresses for his love triangle, he's going to look so lost.[/quote]

Colin just didn't come across as appealing in his season, especially since he spent half the season being sulky and then making things worse.  It just wasn't attractive and you felt bad for Penelope.  Coughlan is a more charismatic actress.[/quote]

I actually liked the man who was courting Penelope in the last season before she hooked up with Colin. He was larger and visually seemed to fit with Penelope better.

It’s not the height difference that is the problem. Colin is very thin and Penelope is thicker. I can’t help it but I cringe when they have love scenes - it looks like she could crush him.[/quote]

I did too!

They had chemistry and were a mire believable match than Pen and Colin.

They gave a dancing with your brother vibe
