He’d thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he’d always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him. His heart had been right. There was only one.
Some non Lily James fancasts for Sophie Beckett!
Adelayo Adedayo - of Some Girls fame, and I’d love to see her again
Mei Mac - a stage actress who recently got some buzz in a Shakespeare production
Oona Chaplin - possibly a little too famous for Bridgerton given the projects she’s done but I think she’d make an excellent romantic lead
Mandip Gill - who didn’t love her in Doctor Who
Anjli Mohindra - best known for The Sarah Jane Adventures and a standout bit in Bodyguard
Katie Leung - Cho Chang from Harry Potter. It would be such a fun comeback role for her!
Susan Wokoma - from Enola Holmes, another Netflix original
Neelam Gill - a model, but she’s been trying to break into acting for years, much like a lot of the actors they’ve cast
October–November 2017 and March–April 2019. TIMEWASTERS, created by costar Daniel Lawrence Taylor, is an extremely silly sci-fi comedy about a modern-day South London jazz quartet — bitter music nerd Nick (Taylor, second from left), vacuous ladies' man Jason (Kadiff Kirwan, second from right), pathologically cheerful Horace (Samson Kayo, right), and Nick's mercenary younger sister Lauren (Adelayo Adedayo, left) — who encounter a mysterious homeless man with a time machine in a filthy elevator car. This sends the quartet first to 1926 and then (in the second season) to 1958, where they stumble through assorted misadventures, grapple with the many flavors of English racism, and make their living playing jazz covers of pop songs that haven't been written yet (while calling themselves the Wu-Tang Clan!).
Often quite funny, if not always in the best of taste, TIMEWASTERS has a fun premise and a winning cast, but it's awfully scattershot, and the lack of direction means each season starts to drag in the middle even with only six episodes per series. Nick remains kind of a wet blanket throughout, even for a straight man, and although Kirwan, Kayo, and Adedayo are all wonderful comedic actors, it takes a frustratingly long time for Horace and Lauren to come into focus as characters; Jason, who's more clearly defined from the outset, eventually becomes a tad one-note, preoccupied with his multi-generational relationship with a posh white woman named Victoria (played by Liz Kingsman in the first season and Anna Chancellor in the second), who unapologetically fetishizes him. Overall, the show is entertaining fluff, but it would have benefited from tighter plotting and a greater sense of direction.
Before posting this, I had a brief glance in the "#timewasters" tag out of morbid curiosity and was dismayed, though not really surprised, to see that almost everything in that tag was about Victoria's idiot twin brother Ralph, who appears only in the first two episodes and then runs off to join the French Foreign Legion. People of color regularly remark that online fandom would fuck a fence post as long as it was white, but fixating on such an extremely minor white character in a show with four Black leads seems particularly egregious — and ironic, given how much of the comedy of TIMEWASTERS is about the idiocy of white supremacy and racism.
"A group of ordinary people from South London unexpectedly develop super powers with no clear connection between them other than them all being Black. As they deal with the impact on their daily lives, one man has to bring them together to protect the one he loves — all while avoiding the powerful and nefarious agents that have noticed their special abilities." (Netflix)
The series is created, written, and (lead) directed by Rapman, aka Andrew Onwubolu. The series stars Tosin Cole, Nadine Mills, Eric Kofi-Abrefa, Calvin Demba, Josh Tedeku, Adelayo Adedayo, Rayxia Ojo, and Giacomo Mancini.

THE RESPONDER Season 2 premiers from 5 May. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
The trailer (season 2) already reveals to us that Chris's marriage does not survive the events of the first season💔, but why go back to that asshole Mullen? Kate, you worth more than that!
I just want Rachel, Marco, Casey and Chris's daughter to be safe. 😭😭😭😭
Where is Nettles? Who is playing her? Is it the woman in the blurry photo from months ago? Is it Anna Jobarteh? Is it someone else? When will she come out of hiding?
I don’t know the answer to any of these questions and since HBO doesn’t want to tell us(I’m about 79% sure it’s Anna at this point, but you never know with this sh*tty show😑) I am once again compiling a list of all the actresses who could possibly be her.
1. Adelayo Adedayo
She’s 34 and the last project she was working on is in post-production.
2. Clare-Hope Ashitey
She’s 36 and not currently working on any projects. The side profile looks like it could kinda be a match.
3. Jasmine Jobson
She’s 28 and doesn’t appear to be filming anything at the moment.
4. Little Simz
She’s 29 and nearly 5’8.” I don’t think she’s filming anything at the moment.
5. Nicole-Lily Baisden
She’s sadly currently in a play, but I wanted to include her anyway.
6. Nicholle Cherrie
She’s 5’8” and she’s not currently working on anything at the movement.
7. Laura Lake Adebisi
Her last project is in post production.
8. Melissa James
She’s not currently working on anything.
9. Denise Laniya
If I had to guess her age I’d say she’s in her mid to late 20s(based on when she graduated). She’s not currently involved in any productions.
10. Ellena Vincent
Can’t find her exact age, but she doesn’t appear to be in any productions currently.
11. Keziah Joseph
She’s 31 and her last two projects are in post production.
12. Aisha Toussaint
She’s 28 and doesn’t appear to be working on any projects.
13. Roxy Sternberg
She’s 34 and has no upcoming projects.
14. Aliyah Odoffin
From what I can find she’s 23, but she doesn’t appear to be working on anything at the moment.
I’d just like to say personally I’d love it if she was Netty 👏🏽
15.Mali Ann Rees
Her last project is in post production.
16. Faye Campbell
Her playing age is between 15-23. She doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment.(her play wrapped up back in June).
17. April Nerissa Hudson
Her playing age is between 16-25. She’s has a upcoming play in October that she’s staring in.
18. Karla Crome
She’s 35 and she doesn’t appear to be working on any projects at the moment.
19. Angela Marie Hurst
Her playing age is between 25-40. She was in a play from late July to August.
20. Colette Dalal Tchantcho
I cant find her exact age but she graduated with a bachelor’s back in 2011 so I say it’s safe to guess she’s in her early to mid 30s. It doesn’t look like she’s working on any projects currently.
Do not make me do a part three. I mean it Ryan🙃 It’s almost been a freaking year. Where the hell is she 😊
I did one of these for my sideblog BlackFemmeCharacterDependency (BFCD) and... While it’ll take longer on this end to do because there are more prominent figures here than on that one, I thought it would be good to also have one for my main...
EDIT: Okay, so the one that I did for BFCD does not work, so I am posting this one to see if it works, and if not, they’ll both be WIPS until I have the time to repair them
For the purposes of this list and on this page, whenever I say “dark skinned,” I mean a traditional brown crayon or darker. I grew up around Black people, so the words “dark skinned” do not mean the same thing to me as it do to nonblacks.
