The harvest reaps fresh drama between Ross and George
Poldark fans can expect to see Ross and George (Jack Farthing), handle the ensuing food crisis in their usually different ways. Ross is armed with compassion and George is prepared to deliver, well, you can probably guess.
It’s Christmastime in Cornwall and George is the definition of a Scrooge. Find out if any compassion can wheedle its way into the heart of the hard-nosed banker.
George contemplates a marriage for Morwenna
When George is not busy dealing with the starvation of Cornwall’s denizens, he is trying to play matchmaker. Hence the portion of the synopsis regarding Morwenna’s “unwelcome” suitor.
Where is Elizabeth?
Even though there is no mention made regarding her presence in the episode synopsis, Mrs. Warleggan plays a pivotal role in the hour. She and baby Valentine are still living in Truro, so how is Elizabeth (Heida Reed) handling life without Ross? You will have to tune in to find out.
Speaking of Ross
As teased in the Poldark synopsis, he and Demelza (Eleanor Tomlinson) welcome a new member to the family in Episode 3. Could there be actual happiness in store for Ross and Demelza?
Are any new characters joining the series?
Yes, the aforementioned Rev. Whitworth (Christian Brassington) will join the ensemble in Episode 3 as Morwenna’s prospective suitor. At least if George has anything to say on the matter.
Will Morwenna’s crush on Drake Carne (Harry Richardson) survive George’s machinations? Tune in and find out when Poldark Season 3 continues. Episode 3 premieres October 15 on PBS Masterpiece at 9 p.m. EST. You can catch up on Episode 2 with a complete recap and review on the Inquisitr .
