Slurktan Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I need Griffin (aka the Invisible Man) to be the new character John Logan teased. I'd be fine with Jekyll/Hyde too, but the Wells novel is just so awesome and underrated and PD could make wonders with the character. I just feel they would be treading water with that. The show already is dangerously close to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, adding Griffin or Dr Jeckyl/Mr Hyde just would add to that. I'm of the opinion as stated that Logan was referring to Dracula when talking about writing a new literary character but if not that I'd rather see them add Dr Moreau or Randolph Carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 So, seems if like me you are interested in following the production of Season 3 you should keep an eye on twitter (annoying, since I don't actually have twitter). In particular, the twitter account of Christopher King. He recently tweeted the episode title of the premiere as [spoiler] The Day Tennyson Died [/spoiler] Interesting title. They also started to film today, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also started to film today, it seems. Yeah I'll just wait, even though spoilers probably wouldn't bother me all that much. I decided, about halfway through the last season, that my enjoyment of the show was down to Eva Green, the philosphical stylings of Lyle, and the cinematography. It's stunningly beautiful for a low(ish) budget TV show. The plot I became increasingly meh about, hissing witches and the Dorian sub plot with Brona, from subtle exposition to high camp, not the trajectory I imagined from the opening episode. Speaking of camp I'm grateful Lyle will be around for S3, he's kind of the most awesome thing on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceChampion Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 You do not have to have a twitter account to read what is said on twitter. If there is a hashtag you want to read, a google search will find it, but it's better to search on twitter directly. Or merely go to someone's twitter account and read what they said. If you see them using a hashtag, click on it to see what others using it are saying. It ain't more complex than using a search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 John Clare is extremely boring/pointless at this point, similar to Siggy from the Vikings. It is past time he is dumped for good. Similarly, I think Frankenstein is wasted too. Remove him and give me Tesla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Poor junkie victor i cant believe this show turned my least favourite (i despise him) literary character into some dude i really want to give a nice cuddle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Ashes Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 As long as we're throwing in somewhat random thoughts about PD: I realized recently that I really liked Billie Piper's potrayal of Brona's excitement and delight at seeing a theater show in S1, and think it's a better acting moment for her than the ones where she's giving apocalyptic-related speeches to Whitey and Dory.

This is just me taking my chance to moan about twitter :p Dont rain on my complaints! Anx couldnt disagree more about John Clare/Caliban/The Creature being boring. He's a very complex and fascinating character. Same with Frankenstein, I think he's a real creep and deeply disturbed but cant help feeling sorry for him. And i think the S2 finale makes it quite obvious he isnt pointless or irrelevant Eta: Whitey and Dory :lmao: I think the whole Brona/Lily thing is great. The way its built up from episode one is great in retrospect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Pffft Brona/Lily fucking rocks. I honestly haven't been so satisfied with a whole season of television (not counting comedy) in AGES as Penny Dreadful season 2...ok maybe Banshee. My two fave shows at the moment.

Jack Bauer 24 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Dr. Jekyll cast for Season 3 and Patti LuPone will return as a completely different character. She will be Dr. Seward, Vanessa's therapist. http://ign.com/articles/2015/09/01/penny-dreadful-season-3-adds-dr-jekyll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slurktan Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Congrats to all those who called this. So that's possibly two new characters from literature as Dr Seward is from Dracula and is one of Lucy's suitors.(although obviously male though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Dr. Jeckyl! Nice. Fits in very well with everyone having their own demon, literally and ya you...metaphorically, mostly literally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Not sure how I feel about casting LuPone in another role. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theda Baratheon Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yeah...I LOVED her as the cut wife but that is kinda weird...oh well, I'm sure she'll be fabulous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 So that's possibly two new characters from literature as Dr Seward is from Dracula and is one of Lucy's suitors.(although obviously male though)Yeah, seems like more or less the same Dracula character, as she is supposed to be a therapist treating Vanessa.http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/penny-dreadful-season-3-spoilers-819324 Some further details. Five guest start appearances: Wes Studi as a Native American tied to Ethan (suggesting he does in fact get to America) Shazad Latif as Dr. Jekyll, Christian Camarango as a zoologist who befriends Vanessa, Sam Barnett as Seward's secretary, and Jessica Barden as Justine, an acolyte of Lily and Dorian (Let the Immortal army reign supreme! :commie: :D ). Pretty happy with the news. Loved LuPone in the Cut Wife episode so I'm happy to see her back. We'll see how they handle her as being a new character (not that Vanessa has a particularly great track record at recognising people ;) ). And more Lily and Dorian shenanigans is always welcome. Wonder how this Justine girl fits in. Is she another Immortal? Or a mortal they recruit to their cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 I'm fine with Patti Lupone coming back as a new character. Deadwood pulled it off successfully, and I don't blame Logan after that brilliant performance she gave this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvinus85 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 On Lupone's character: it could all be in Vanessa's head. She is playing Vanessa's shrink. What if Dr. Seward is actually a different person, but Vanessa sees her as the Cut-Wife? And Wes Studi looks to be a series regular, not just a guest star, for which I am very excited. It looks like a lot of next season may be taking place in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
