Raise your hand if Brimsley made you cry in Queen Charlotte.
This post contains spoilers for a subplot from Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. Proceed with caution!
You might have noticed Brimsley on Bridgerton — although you'd low-key be forgiven if you hadn't.
He is quite literally a background character on the show — always hanging around behind the Queen, ready to do her bidding.
But then, prequel series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story went ahead and made him a main character — and also the one most likely to steal all our hearts?! How dare they.
Not only is Brimsley a sweetheart on his own (that moment where he reaches out his hand behind Charlotte!!), but they also gave him a totally hot, totally beautiful, totally heartbreaking love story.
I might never recover, and I'm not the only one.
Here's what people are saying across Twitter and TikTok...

We need to find out what happened with these two in the next season of Bridgerton. In the meantime — what are your Reynolds theories?!
Let's cry together in the comments.
