Read Sanditon by Jane Austen and Another Lady, and you will see how Jane Austen would have ended her novel. In all her other novels, she never had a sad ending and she would not have done so with Sanditon.

Theo James and Rose Williams 👏👏👏👏 Outstanding performances indeed!

[@adalinecanevaro340]

Anyway, I believe Tom is the real loser in this serie. He sacrificed everyone else’s dreams for his own dream and he never took responsibility of his own wrong decisions. Even when he knew his own brother Sidney sacrificed his happiness for Tom’s dream, once againTom did it again and again even in the last season he didn’t care about his wife’s opinion, feelings or ideas. Even Arthur had better thinking and it was more mature than him.

Somebody mentioned here that Theo looks like her father?? I don’t think so and I’m sure many will agree, like millions of fans globally who were following and have watched Sanditon S1. These actors’ presence on screen and performances are excellent from facial expressions, acting and everything/ everyone around them. I’m so in love of them and this story!! 10 yrs difference is nothing. I’ve read Julie Abbot and her Daddy long legs story. It was wonderful!

He might like a damaged fairytale ending but we didn't! Especially, on the back of covid. 8 episodes was enough to have a happy ending in season 1. Season 2 was a shambles. Wishy washy Colbourne's. A weak and unattractive character! The saving grace was Captain Fraser.

This is brilliant. I finished the second season, but it can't be compared to this, it's like watching the same actress in another movie.

I think Charlotte Heywood & Sidney Parker belong together because they started something that is hard to find a true love like theirs. When you know what true love feels like you feel the love between them with the heartbreak 💔 because at a time in our lives we find a true love like theirs and had to let it go and live with a heartbreak that will never be healed until you see them again to try to bring back of what you thought was lost when it wasn't because true love never dies or stops it was only the time that had stop not the truth of their true love that kept on going. I do hope they come together again because true love stays and never leaves the heart its always remain in the core of the heart when it comes to true love. I do hope Charlotte Heywood & Sidney Parker do end up together to marry which would be a perfect ending for season 4 with perfect love and the heart will be healed because True Love never dies!!!!❤

Theo James himself decided not to do another season. He has. not her commitments to do other movies which he was probably under contract. Actors may just quit a movie at any time in the UK but they are under contract in the US. Therefore, if he could not be committed to continue acting in Sanditon - he should never have agreed to being in the series.

[@patriciaholloway]

He chose not to come back. He stated he liked the ending between them the way it was. He was in talks to come back at one point but had a bunch of other things going on. It's not the fault of the show's creators. You don't speak for us. The show is far more interesting this way and we LOVE Alexander Colbourne. It's like hearing children throwing a tantrum when they don't get their way. 🙄 The show's executive said they always assumed they'd be able to bring Sidney back, that he'd find a way around financial situation and marriage. But Theo "made it perfectly clear" he had no wish to return. So when Theo didn't return, they had to write a different story for Charlotte, as by this point the show was renewed. If you want to be angry at someone, it should be at him, because he didn't care one iota what fans wanted. You should do your research before getting all emotional about a fictional character.

[@melbas07]

@@patriciaholloway I read somewhere the reason he didnt return is due to creative differences. For an instance the script JY created. I woud have loved to have a copy of Andrew Davies script instead. Season 1 success is I believe not only the actors performances but also the scripts and storylines. There were several dialogues/lines I can remember that are memorable such as the boat rowing and Heraclitus scenes, the I am my best self my truest self scene, the scenes in the tent with Lady Susan, Charlotte, Sidney and Eliza scene, is that all I am to you scene after the tent scene, etc There are so many beautiful clips plus bonus points is the most beautiful perod drama dance and music.

[@lindescallejas-diaz681]

It is interesting reading people's views on Sidney's behaviour and attitude towards Charlotte as if Alexander Colbourne was an angel to rescue Charlotte. AC was also rude to Charlotte and made a mess of his love story with her in S2. Yes Sidney was rude as Mr Darcy was with Elizabeth Bennett to start with. Sidney has been hurt in the past and struggles to accept his feelings for Charlotte. But she was also inpolite talking about her hosts in such a manner when she was their guest. Sidney and Charlotte resemble the story of Mr Darcy and Miss Bennett. Full of pride and predujice. But they find each other in the end. No many people has pointed out Tom's attitute and reckless behaviour towards everyone around him. He expects help from everyone else and gives nothing in return. Thanks to Mary, he is told the sacrifice that his brother did for him. Tom ruined his brother's life at not personal cost. On the other hand, Alexander Coulbourne shows Charlotte that life gives people a second chance. I still rate the chemistry between SP and Charlotte better, but Xander manages to gain the respect of an audience who was as hurt as Sidney after S1 and saves a series making their love story worth it too. Good job Xander! I prefer Charlotte in S1. I find her a bit boring and tamed in S2/S3

Besides Willoughby’s character deficiencies, structurally that wasn’t the central relationship (in her arc), it was always Brandon.

It wasn't the actor or Theo's fault at all. These were all Masterpiece PBS choices. They decided to do this instead of a time jump and or recast. They lied to and manipulated the fans.

Agreed 💯 Theo is a very nice looking man and a good actor, but we're talking about Sydney, the character, not Theo the actor. Sydney is misogynistic.

Not that the course of true love ever ran smoothly, but if Charlotte was Sydney's true love and he couldn't be without her, he would have found a way. But instead, he runs off with his former love for her fortune in order to help Tom and Sanditon. Not exactly a win for that woman either!!

@@olivinarichmond6969 I think you are right Olivia. I have been keeping my ITV subscription just to keep on watching only Sanditon S1 many many times and perhaps a bit of S2 rewind or fast forward just to review the plots before S3. We are blessed to have SanditonFancitions to give these characters their deserving HEA. I prefer that than any kind of sad endings. x
