[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Gilded Age Season 3 Episode 3.]
The Gilded Age followers are divided on Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) and her, let’s assume, matchmaking strategies.
Which may be placing it frivolously, if we had been to ask her daughter, Gladys (Taissa Farmiga). The Russell heiress was decided (at first) to marry for love, however her formidable mom has been set on forcing her right into a union with the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb). The Gilded Age viewers know that Bertha stops at nothing to get what she needs — keep in mind the Metropolitan Opera? — and her daughter buying a title will cement her household’s place in society.
