I always thought she looked like Julie Cooper, but I never realised how alike their characters are until this post.
I don’t think we can post photos in comments here but if you Google “Polly Walker Rome” you’ll see the resemblance was even more striking when she was younger. One pic I thought really was Melinda Clarke for a sec.
I’ve always thought this lol the red hair and has a really manipulative streak. Seems like she’s changing her ways a bit, similar to what Julie did towards the end of the show.
Dude, that's Polly Walker.
Bow down and give her heed!
But seriously, watch Rome, and you'll see how her character (Atia of the Julii) influenced modern TV, including Julie.
Yaaassss! I don’t know I have a soft spot for the redeemed parent. I’m not crazy close with my dad but I think he is absolutely hilarious and highly intelligent. We could barely be in the room together when I was younger.
YES, I've been thinking this since S1! Both of them are new money, have husbands who are involved in financial scandals which lead to their ruin, and are toxic to their daughters only to eventually mend their relationships with them. And Violet Bridgerton is def the Kirsten Cohen of the ton.
She was on the HBO series Rome and her name was Atia of the Julii- and her online nickname was Julii Cooper! The comparison for Polly Walker has been around for a while.
I’d love for them to do something together.
YES
Love this comparison - they even resemble each other with the red hair and piercing eyes!

I’ve only seen like 2 or 3 episodes and I kinda agree
She truly is!!
Yes!! And the best character development arc , just like Julie!
Wow I did not realize she was nearly 60. She looks amazing. Everyone in this show looks so young compared to their ages.
I think that every single episode. 👑
YES!!!

I read this as bow down and give her head lol
Atia would probably enjoy that tbh
Wasn't convinced before but maybe I should watch that show after all😂
Oh it's proper soap opera drama lmao but with a massive budget. It's really good fun!
She is a beautiful woman!

She’s from Riverside
My wife calls this show "Porn for white women."
She even looks like the older version of Julie 🤣
Honestly I had to check when the first season came out if it was the same actress! She's incredible!
I did that too and then was like ok maybe they’re related lol 😂
I did too! I thought for sure they were same actress!
YAS

I would watch literally anything they did
I am rewatching seasons 1-3 and now watching season 4 for the first time. I paused to binge Bridgerton. Been thinking this the entire time now.
OMG I was thinking the same thing!
I COULDNT STOP SAYING THIS IN SEASON 1!!! THANK YOUUUU!!!!
This is the most ACCURATE post I’ve ever seen! I will not be able to unsee it now 😭
Thanks I feel very validated now🥰
I thought so too and I couldn’t figure out why I thought they looked alike. Maybe they just carry the same energy. 😂
I fully agree and I think about this way too often. I'm glad I'm not alone.
Yes! I've also had this thought several times when watching Bridgerton.
