The actor who plays Guillermo on WWDitS is playing George on ZEP
Yay! He is fun in the musical numbers

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Has anyone watched Bridgerton? Can I spoil it with a question about people’s response to a plot point that I seemed to have read completely differently than anyone who makes a podcast about it? (Perhaps not Tom Lenk and Felicia Day, they haven’t gotten there yet)

I can talk Bridgerton. I just read the first book and am thinking about the differences made for the show (I mostly like the show better)
We’re more than two weeks from the initial drop, as far as spoilers go.

First, I realized after finishing the series that I had actually read the book. But almost everyone I listen to or read seems to have the interpretation that Simon specifically told her he was infertile and lied, when I interpreted it that he said “I can’t give you children” thinking she would understand what he meant (although I think he should have had a more pointed conversation after they were, you know, actually getting married). They also think that Daphne took over things so that he would not pull out because she wanted a baby, when I thought she was testing her theory that he had lied to her. I believe that Daphne thinks he lied to her. I think that Simon thought she was trying to get pregnant. But I think both of those things are part of their greater miscommunication, but not necessarily their motivation. I am confused that I haven’t heard one podcast yet that thought of it that way. Am I naive? Or perhaps semi remembering the book from 10 years ago?

I'm not sure I am following what distinctions you are making.
I didn't think Simon was trying imply he was infertile as much as he considered having children so unequivocally not an option that "I can't" was the natural expression. I actually think he was more deliberately misleading in the book, although there may have been more said on screen than I remember.
Daphne's motivation, well, I don't think it can be boiled down to just she wanted a baby.
Both of them big murky messes.
