‘Poldark’ season 2: Eleanor Tomlin on premiere action, Demelza – Elizabeth dynamic
With the second season of “Poldark” starting on BBC One Sunday night, now does seem as though it is the perfect time to dive into the meat of the story, and some of what you can expect to see from the wide array of characters present on the series.
While Ross may be the lead and the title role, it would be a mistake to pretend as though Demelza’s role was any less important to pushing the narrative forward. Her relationship with Ross greatly moves things forward, and it is because of their relationship and the loss of Julia that season 1 ended in such a devastating fashion.
So how are things going to pick up from here? That is something that Eleanor Tomlinson teases further in a new interview with the BBC setting up the season:
“The series opens as powerfully as it finished. Ross is on trial and is going to be hanged if found guilty, so it’s a very emotional time. She’s also pregnant but doesn’t know it yet – she finds out during the trial. That’s obviously a huge deal, having lost Julia, so tension are running very high.”
From here, Tomlinson also opens up in part about the present state of things when it comes to the Demelza – Elizabeth relationship, something that is probably going to implode further in season because of some of Ross’ actions:
“Demelza and Elizabeth have an uneasy relationship. She is irritated by Elizabeth, always threatened by her, but she is trying her best to make things work and they are family at the end of the day. The most important thing to Demelza is family and she doesn’t want any animosity, which is why at the end of series one we see her asking Ross to promise that they will try and mend this family rift between him and Francis so that Julia’s death wasn’t in vain. But as it goes on the relationship between the two women becomes almost impossible.”
