You have always had one voice, he says.

I think in truth…I have been envious of you.

And now I simply cannot believe that a woman with such bravery loves me.

How lucky I am to stand by your side and soak up even a little bit of your light.

This author knows better than to make any predictions about what the future may hold.

But with every closing chapter, the story is sure to grow richer and deeper.

Yours truly, Penelope Bridgerton.

What does this mean for Dame Andrews in season 4?

Is this the end of her run as our narrator?

However, Julie Andrews is just such a part of the feeling of the show.

So, were playing around in season 4 with ways that we can explain why its still Julie Andrews.

I think its justits in Penelopes head the way she officially reads it to herself as she writes.

So, shell be back?

Thats my hope, to keep Julie Andrews forever because shes freaking Julie Andrews.

What about Nicola and Luke?

Will they factor heavily into the next season?

Now that the Ton knows who the real Lady Whistledown is, Im interested to see how this evolves.

Ive talked to Nicola and Luke about the fact that there is more story to tell.

Shes Perez Hilton now.

Everyone knows who she is and knows shes reporting on them.

That brings with it a new set of challenges.

Does this mean the actors wont be back for season 4?

Are Anthony and Kate in India for good?

Theyre not in India for good.

India is a plot equipment.

It also leaves the door open for us to bring them back when and if schedules allow.

I currently have some really exciting thoughts for them both in season 4, and were working on it.

There is hope to have them back as much as we are able to make happen.

But then they all kind of weave together in the back half.

That made it easier.
