Spoiler alert: this piece contains spoilers for episode 5 of The golden age Season 3.
Just like Gladys Russell (Taissa Farmiga) begins to settle in her new house abroad after his wedding arranged with the Duke of Buckingham, his brother Larry (Harry Richardson) begins to take the measures to leave the nest in the fifth episode of HBO’s The golden age.
Anxious to spend the rest of his life with Ms. Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson), Larry informs his father George (Morgan Spector) of his plans, and Mr. Russell supports the proposal, although the whole discussion between the father and the son does not include the mother of Larry Bertha (Carrie Coon) during Larry’s social activities.
“I think that at that time, George is just jumped on bitterness and rage, and he is therefore ready to stick the needle wherever he can,” said Spector on the deadline for reversing the role after George considered that he did not have control of his daughter’s marital fate. “It’s not really fair. I think it’s a little Ersatz. He is full of this little vengeful plot, but I think he is also determined not to repeat the same mistake and try to fight for the autonomy and freedom of his son.”
Bertha only learns the news after Marian accepted Larry’s proposal, and she is not delighted with that.
“I did not know how the writers would deal with Bertha’s relationship with Marian, because I think she respects Marian. I think she admires her,” Coon told Deadline. I think she sees herself in Marian more than she can be seen in Gladys. And so I always wondered if she, when Push came to push, she would kiss Marian as a potential partner for Larry, but she is not entirely ready to give in this fight for status. I mean, she really expects a better wedding for him. “Because that’s what the company dictates.

Although Bertha asked Marian to be a young lady of honor in the wedding of Gladys, it was especially at the last minute because one of the other women fell ill. Larry put pressure on her love to be included because she was the same size as the previous woman.
Only time – and three other episodes – will say if Bertha manages to accept Larry’s decision.
