The Bridgerton fandom blew up when they discovered that The Duke of Hastings, played by Rege-Jean Paul, would not be returning to Season 2 of the Netflix series. The intense backlash to this announcement isn't surprising, considering The Duke was the hot plot that kept viewers coming back for more. However, the fact that Daphne's eldest brother, Anthony Bridgerton (played by Jonathan Bailey), will be taking the reins in the lead male role may keep these thirsty fans at bay. Many of Jonathan Bailey's fans took to Twitter to remind everyone that Viscount Bridgerton is just as sexy as the Duke, and will make a wonderful leading man. Whether it be through pictures or words, Jonathan Bailey's fans really pulled through for him. Scroll down for this week's thirstiest tweets.

Bridgerton star Rege-Jean Page blew us all away in the first season. The steamy sex scenes he contributed to throughout the season will live rent-free in our minds forever and always. Alas, the show just announced that the tall, dark, and handsome Duke of Hastings that we have all come to know and love will not be returning for the second season of the period drama, which will focus more on Daphe's eldest brother, Anothony Bridgerton and his quest for love. Twitter immediately went into a frenzy over the heartbreaking news, some going so far as to say that The Duke was essentially the plot of the entire show (and let's be honest - they're not wrong). Apparently, each of the Bridgerton books focuses on the story of a different sibling, so the responsibility to keep the thirsty fans of the show satisfied falls to Jonathan Bailey, who plays Anthony, this time around. Till then, we'll all be mourning the loss of our sexy duke - scroll down for the most hilarious reactions on Twitter.
The gentlemen of Bridgerton have inevitably captured our hearts as of late - some more so than others. As a super single Netflix enthusiast who is still very much on the marriage market, naturally, it was my duty to detail the lords who would make the best boyfriends and the trash that shouldn't even bother trying. And I did it all without Anthony Bridgerton's shitty suitor advice too! So make haste, and read on to meet your ideal Regency era boyfriend.
SPOILERS AHEAD, so don't say I didn't warn ya.
Bridgerton, the hottest new Netflix show on the block, has risen to fame for all the right reasons. If you haven't watched it yet, why the eff not? Inspired by Julia Quinn's bestselling novels, the show is set in the late 19th century and sees eight close-knit siblings of the Bridgerton family look for love and happiness in London high society. It has all the ingredients—in my humble opinion— for the perfect bing-worthy show, and here's why. First off, it is produced by Shonda Rhimes, which automatically means it will be ah-may-zing. In her genius, she has created a period drama that combines Downton Abbey's aesthetic with Gossip Girl's anonymous gossip columnist's vibe, with a sh*t ton of steamy, raunchy sex thrown in for good measure. So, cancel all your plans tonight (as if you had any anyway!), pour yourself a glass (or bottle) of your fave bubbly, and get binging. Meanwhile, these Tweets about Bridgerton will whet your appetite and give you a taste of what's to come.
