Give an award to the intimacy Coordinator ! As Rege said, she is 50% of the reason why we have seen so much chemistry on scene. Of course the other 50% are the nice scripts, dreamy soundtrack, and acting. Good job 👏🏿

Most of the time when there are sex scenes on the series I watched I always felt so uncomfortable and it kinda feel disgusting. But in this series, everything is so intimate that I felt like I shouldn't be watching because it's so genuine and felt very private, it really felt like they're making love.

4:24 "the intimate are very intimate" reminded me of when you try to complete your 500 word essay lol

The love scenes in Bridgerton set a new standard in how to portray engaging, intimate beautiful portrayal of sex. They were quite explicit yet didn’t just come across as fake soft core porn (usually directed for men’s gaze). The build up of tension and desire between Daphne and Simon until their ultimate consummation made it light years more erotic than most sex scenes you see. I loved how their was so much focus on their faces and expressions.

This woman deserves a new award category at whatever cinematic awards there are..The scenes looked insanely real. We <3 a professional intimacy coordinator queen! You DID THAT, Lizzy!

I think everyone fell in love with the intimacy scenes so can we all lift our glasses and cheer to the most important person on set😊😊

I wish I’d waited til at least season 3 to start watching, I can’t bear the wait for the next season!

[kalfn]

she needs to coordinate some people in real life..

Intimate coordinator... hearing it first time. Cannot believe she did that. She has done a great job. It was not disgusting but romantic love scenes. Treat to watch.

[nademilche]

She is adorable, so kind and gentle as her job requires 😀

I know they say love scenes are usually very uncomfortable for the actors...however, as convincing as this connection of chemistry between these actors was, I can't help but wonder if at any point, they truly were turned on by acting this out...
I know they were just acting, but being so intimate with someone (even if you call it work), would still ensue someone catching feelings, if not at least being caught up in the moment...
Rege really sold the way he looked at her...to me, that was the height of the intimacy- just the way he looked at her, as if she was his everything...I think women look for that feeling our whole lives, looking for a man who will look at us in that way...
I really can not believe they are not a thing after that!...lol

She really makes a good point about how something like a fight scene has all these precautions and practises whereas intimacy scenes don't get as much attention

[littlesame]

A very well done interview! I’ve seen others where they mainly focused on how they enjoyed the scenes but not much relating to her scope of work, great job can’t wait for tomorrow’s announcement ❤️

[loranechinoingira]

Awesome interview. Wasn't aware there was such a title. Learning never stops. Great show.

[kimyaglasgow]

One of the better interviews with Lizzy Talbot, there were real questions and yes there were giggles but it was honest as opposed to salacious.. good one!!

[kathleen]

I think you can't really choreograph chemistry. It's either there or it's not and I've watched some movies with oscar worthy actors and no matter how good the performance, the chemistry is not happening. Rege and Daphne are just a good match.
