I don't think For the Love of Jane meets Rachel's query. As I recall, Bingley had left Netherfield, but then Jane manages to accumulate a number of suitors: the heir to the Matlock earldom, his...

Interestingly enough, when I reflected on what you wrote, I thought these type of stories are probably great, and soul-lifting, and cathartic, but I prefer if the main couple aren't called Darcy and...

Yeah, I quit watching it too. I figured I might wait until it was finished and watch it all at once, but it didn't seem worth waiting around for.

I doubt that Darcy would be in the inner circle of the Prince Regent! Many in the Prince's inner circle were of questionable morality. JA herself disliked the Prince, although he was such an admirer...
