A lot happened in Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1, especially regarding Lady Violet Bridgerton's (Ruth Gemmell) and Lord Marcus Anderson's (Daniel Francis) relationship. Actor Daniel Francis's comment during his interview about where he thinks his character is headed next has upset some fans.
Part 1 of the fourth season revealed that Lady Bridgerton decides to live her own life and explore a relationship with Lord Anderson, leading to a steamy night. Her decision came with some trepidation, still feeling unsure about moving on from Edmund's death.
In an interview with Deadline, the topic of conversation led to Francis speaking about how his character could step into a fatherly role for the last male Bridgerton, Gregory (Will Tilston).
"I think he'd be a great mentor and father figure for young Gregory, as he goes through the things of life, but also, he’s not trying to replace Edmund as well," Francis said. "I think that’s important as well, that creates a space, which is, 'I'm not trying to replace Edmund.' He is there just discovering something that is new and fresh for them."

Francis's comment on Lord Anderson becoming the "man of the house" has upset some fans. They have watched as Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) stepped into the role of a father figure for all of his siblings from a young age. Many believe the fatherly role, especially for Gregory, is reserved for Anthony.
"The Bridgertons don't need a father figure; they already have Edmund in their memories and Anthony, who became a father at 18 when he wanted to be a brother. The production wants to discard Anthony, but the fans won't accept that," said one fan on X.
"Gregory is a BRIDGERTON, and the head of that family name is his brother ANTHONY who is close to their father, and provided him when he is still a toddler up to his late teens," said another.
One fan added, "He already has one, and his name is Viscount Anthony Bridgerton!!!! Stay away from the children. Please, just focus on being a lover. Thank you...."
Bridgerton fans feel that Anthony and Kate's (Simone Ashley) marriage serves as the "heart" of the family and the lessons on love that Lady Violet and Edmund instilled in their children from a young age.
