Poldark season 3 spoilers: Aidan Turner teases story to come
Specifically, Turner sat down for an interview with the Radio Times, and offered up the following teaser regarding the specifics of where the story picks back up — especially in terms of Ross and Demelza, and the aftermath of their reconciliation through the lens of Elizabeth’s pregnancy:
“When we start the third series we get a feeling that a lot has passed; months have passed and they’ve already discussed what has happened. And so they’re not at each other’s throats, but there’s definitely questions about who the father [of Elizabeth’s baby] may be and whether the relationship is going to last.”
On paper, all of this sounds as though it is going to make for a great place to pick the story back up. This is a show that is intent on press forward through stages of Ross’ life, so we’re not going to say that we’re shocked to learn about a time jump … not as though we’re just learning about that, either. The most important thing is surveying the state of the Ross / Demelza relationship.
For the record, we are rather pleased with where the show seems to be placing it in terms of reality. If a real couple was to go through some of what they have, it’s not going to be rosy all of the time. There will be significant bumps in the road, and it does make a great deal of sense for the show to explore some of that at every opportunity that seems reasonable. You don’t want to go into overkill with it, but you also don’t want to shy away from it. This is a show where there are patterns of drama, and we don’t think viewers will be upset over seeing that play out. It’s a part of the fabric!
