‘Poldark’ season 2 finale reaction (PBS): About that Elizabeth – Ross – Demelza shocker…
On tonight’s season 2 finale of “Poldark” on PBS, many things happened … including a reveal that is likely going to alter the entire course of the show for some time. (Warning: There are some spoilers ahead, so be aware of that as you continued to read onward.)
In the closing minutes of this episode, we learned that not only is Elizabeth expecting a child, but that there is a very good chance that the father is none other than Ross. Therefore, all of a sudden her life is far more intertwined with Aidan Turner’s character than she probably originally hoped or planned for it to be. She did give in to sleeping with him earlier in the season, but it definitely started as though she wasn’t altogether interested in having that happen.
The timing of this reveal couldn’t be worse for Ross, given everything else that was happening in his life over the course of the episode. Specifically, we’re referencing here he and Demelza finally coming back together and her kissing him at the end of the episode. She’s forgiven him enough for what happened enough to move forward, but at the same exact time there is a difference between forgiving someone and forgetting that it happened. We have to imagine that the Elizabeth reveal is going to become a key part of the story eventually, and we’re looking forward to see how all of that unravels.
Some good news – Hey, at least Dwight and Caroline had a happy ending in this episode that was fairly uncompromising. They’re back together now, and seemed to have gotten past their stumbles.
Do you think this new reveal from Elizabeth could destroy Ross and Demelza forever? (Note that we’re asking that mostly to people who haven’t read the books.) Share below!

Although I hadn’t read the books, I watched the 70’s series, so I knew that Elizabeth was pregnant with Ross’s child. The actress who plays Elizabeth is beautiful, but her character is dumber than dirt. How could she not have known, or at least suspected, that she was carrying Ross’s baby! The great aunt got off a great line in last night’s episode.

From the moment the deed was done, I anticipated a bouncing baby boy, w/gorgeous black curly hair. forthcoming…With Ross being such “decent” man, (uh hmm) and doing the right thing ,he’ll feel obliged to “do the right thing” and be a part of this child’s life…Only if they ALL finesse this joyous event, with care and dignity, will there be any chance for Ross and Demelza…Elizabeth has had it…She will suffocate in the web she has woven, with no one to rescue the damsel in distress…fyi…I haven’t read the book…Just my thoughts at this point…Can’t wait for season 3, but I live in Texas…How will I ever survive until ???
