Charlotte Heywood & Alexander Colbourne | Through A Looking Glass... [Sanditon 2x06 Spoilers]

[@toby986]

This is a beautiful edit! I am loving this story. In season 2 Charlotte changed the life of Alexander Colbourne and his family from a dreary, sad existence to one of happiness and light. He loves her so much but is filled with self doubt and is unable to express his emotions effectively. In season 3 there is such tremendous growth in his self-expression and in his determination to connect with Charlotte and tell her his true feelings. I love the decency, gentleness and kindness of Alexander Colbourne.

[@beatacorsello9741]

I love this dance scene do to the amazing chemistry between them. Alexander has a beautiful posture on that dance floor and looks so very elegant and Charlotte is so sweet, graceful and falling in love! Alexander will dance with her again...the love of his life cause he realized that life without Charlotte is no life at all or simply impossible. This lovely video I'm watching daily. Its perfection!

Beautiful video that capture's the chemistry and the deep emotions of finding love again between these two. I'm glad they brought back the show and love the addition of Colbourne. Can't wait for season 3 and for Charlotte to finally get her happy ending with Colbourne after they work through their fears.

@@aprilrose6630 Yes! The timing of that hand clasp was very appropriate with the dialogue! So glad he had the occupation of the dance so he could feel free to verbalize in a more open way.

You’re not going to tell me that didn’t affect them...Every other point of contact she at least has a glove between them.

[@Jean-wk7on]

My guess is that by now most of us know that Alexander Colbourne is the perfect man for Charlotte Heywood. Alexander and Charlotte compliment and complete each other beautifully. Fate has a strange and surprising way of guiding us along on our journey. Who would have guessed that S1 would have ended as it did or that the scriptwriter and casting crew would have been forced to take an entirely different and unfamiliar path-which, in my opinion, has led to a far more interesting and rewarding destination? As fate would have it, Charlotte's romance with Sidney Parker and his betrayal in order to marry the wealthy Eliza Campion (who had done the same thing to him a few years earlier) better prepared Charlotte for the older, more experienced, and wiser Alexander Colbourne who would be attracted to and fall in love with her. Not long into S2, it becomes clear that both Charlotte and Colbourne are surprised and thrown off kilter by their romantic attraction to each other. She and he had both sworn off love and marriage after falling in love and then being betrayed. At the end of S2, we're left wondering why exactly did Colbourne force Charlotte to leave her governess position, and why did Charlotte not allow Colbourne to finish whatever he started to say to her in the Parker home. All we do know is that she and he made a choice, and now they are both unhappy with their lives. We know what Charlotte wants, but what does Colbourne want? He's confusing us. Ah! The look on Alexander Colbourne's face when he sees Charlotte again in S3 makes it quite clear that Colbourne now knows exactly what he wants. The looming questions for S3 are-Can he still get her? If so, how? So, I am definitely looking forward to Season 3. For anyone who hasn't been able to put enough of the pieces together and is still trying to make sense of Charlotte and Colbourne's love story, here is a guide. Like Charlotte Heywood, Alexander Colbourne is a compelling character. Obviously, Colbourne has not been pining for his dead wife who married him for his money, and then continued her love affair with Lennox after she married Colbourne. Marrying solely for financial security was the norm, even during the time in which Jane Austen lived. Apparently, Lucy and Lennox were genuinely in love with each other-but, unlike Colbourne, Lennox was not a wealthy man. So, she chose to marry Alexander Colbourne-which explains why Lennox told Charlotte that Colbourne stole Lucy from him. Nevertheless, Colbourne does deeply regret having spoken so harshly to Lucy when he discovered her infidelity and that she was pregnant with Lennox's child. He believes that what he said to Lucy was so damaging that it destroyed her will to live. So, he feels responsible for her death and for Leo not having a mother. Colbourne's compassionate heart and strong conscience have not allowed him to forgive himself-even after all these years. In S2 we see how compassionately Colbourne treats his horse and his dog, and how he tries to shield his daughter and his niece-and now Charlotte-from himself. Colbourne is apparently afraid of ever destroying anyone again, so he puts up barriers between himself and anyone that he loves. Charlotte helped Colbourne to begin tearing down those barriers that separate him from the people that he loves. But now Charlotte is one of those people-so we see Colbourne as he struggles with his internal conflict between his desire to have Charlotte and his desire to protect her from himself. Interestingly, it is not until Colonel Lennox tells Colbourne that Charlotte is in love with him that he realizes that she is indeed in love with him, and therefore she needs to be protected from him. Because Charlotte is so unique-she is neither meek nor submissive-Colbourne hadn't noticed the outward signs of her feelings about him. During the time that Jane Austen wrote, men who did not intend to marry often wore a signet ring (engraved with their initials) on the pinky of their left hand-just as Alexander Colbourne does. Colbourne often twists the signet ring that he wears on his left hand and appears to be thinking. My guess is that is yet another reason why he chose to dismiss Charlotte. Colbourne knows that he is in love with Charlotte, and it is obvious that he desires her. The way he kisses her makes that quite clear. After Colonel Lennox told Colbourne that Charlotte is in love with him, Colbourne realized that, as her employer she might submit to his desires because he is in a position of authority over her. Now that he knows how he feels about her and how she feels about him, allowing Charlotte to remain his subordinate would have been highly unethical. Since Colbourne-unlike Lennox-is a man of integrity, he could not bring himself to allow her to continue to be his subordinate, and therefore subject to his will. So, he forces Charlotte to leave, even after she acknowledges that she was a willing participant during their romantic moments. Since Alexander Colbourne is a man of integrity, he knew he had to let Charlotte go-even though he obviously wants her. Colbourne went to the Parkers' home to ask her to return because Augusta begged him to do so, not because he believed that was the right thing to do. (Colbourne told Augusta that she doesn't understand-which, of course, is true. Augusta doesn't know that her uncle is in love with Charlotte and that Charlotte is in love with him.) Colbourne did not object to what Charlotte said because he knew that she made the right decision, even though she made that decision because she believes that she means nothing to him. Of course, that is not true. This is a man who clearly is deeply in love with Charlotte. When Colbourne goes to see Charlotte with the intention of asking her to return, Charlotte also makes the right decision. Sadly, at the end of Season 2, we were left with two people who are deeply in love with each other-and absolutely miserable because of the choice they had to make. The good news is-Season 3 is yet to come and now they both know they are in love and unhappy without the other person.

Charlotte marries Ralf and later he falls into the pig pen and is gassed leaves Charlotte bereft she wants to get away from the farm as luck would have it walking over the hills who turns up Mr C and that's why she is crying and telling him of her loss that seems a good start S3, the only other thing would make her cry if he said he had lost his dog.

Coburn is cold, rude, and can't find his place in the sun. Charlotte can do much better especially with Stringer

[@Jean-wk7on]

Helen, actually Colbourne is a man with an unusually high sense of ethics and integrity-and he is actually extremely compassionate. The scriptwriters probably spent far more time developing this particular character than they spent on any of the other characters, including Charlotte Heywood. Justin Young (the lead scriptwiter) said that a 10-page biography was written for Alexander Colbourne. This is a very complex man. Did you notice the way he treats his horse and his dog? Did you also notice how Colbourne got down on one knee and held Leo as they were leaving the army's camp? Those were not the actions of a cold-hearted man. Did you listen to what he told Charlotte the night that they sat together in his sitting room? Colbourne was still suffering from a deep sense of guilt about the harsh words that he had said to Lucy when he discovered her infidelity and that she was pregnant with Lennox's child? Colbourne believes that what he said to Lucy was so damaging that she lost the will to live, and so he had been unable to forgive himself-even after all these years. Colbourne also feels responsible for everyone in his immediate sphere of influence-including Charlotte, for as long as she was employed by him as a governess. When Lennox told Colbourne that Charlotte is in love with him, Colbourne realized how wrong it was for him to have allowed their relationship to become romantic. As the master of the estate and as her employer, she was automatically subject to his will and his desires, and because she had fallen in love with him that put her in a very vulnerable and therefore dangerous position That's why he forced her to leave, even though he knows that he is in love with her. How many men would have been willing to give up the woman that they want in order to protect that woman from being taken advantage of by themself? That was the extremely difficult and unusual choice that Alexander Colbourne made at the end of Season 2.

[@Happy-ok3sj]

No. He just doesn't have it. Last season was IT.

[@Jean-wk7on]

Really? Think about it! Just like Eliza Campion (the woman who betrayed Sidney Parker and married another man for money), Sidney did the same thing to Charlotte Heywood. Sidney and Eliza were alike-their love was shallow. When gaining wealth was an option, they both betrayed the person they said they loved and married the person who had money. Sidney and Eliza deserved each other. Sidney did not deserve to have Charlotte, and if you really looked back on their relationship, you would realize that Sidney never deserved Charlotte. She simply helped him to be a somewhat better person than he was when they first met. Season 1 was good-but Season 2 was great! That's why so many viewers can hardly wait for Season 3. Mr. Alexander Colbourne has EVERYTHING, including maturity, good looks, passion, and a strong moral compass and sense of responsibility-and that's just for starters. Alexander Colbourne is clearly in love with Charlotte, but he cannot have her unless he stops blaming himself for the inappropriate and destructive choices that Lucy made of her own free will. Charlotte has closed the door and walked away from the past. Colbourne walked away from his unfaithful wife, but he still has not forgiven himself for the harsh words he said to her that he believes destroyed her will to live. When he stops feeling guilty about what he said to Lucy, he too will walk away from the past.
