The Gilded Age Season 4: Bertha Russell could face a ruthless reality check

Actress Carrie Coon spoke with Radio Times and gave a preview of where her character, Bertha Russell, would stand at the beginning of The Gilded Age Season 4, while also hinting at the direction her marriage could take after the story unfolds.

The actress mentioned that Bertha would start with her attention fixed on Gladys with a hope of repairing the damage and healing old wounds. However, she would soon discover that things didn't improve as she had hoped, and that approach might prove unsuccessful. Carrie stated:

"As it turns out, Bertha will need to leverage a tremendous intervention, both literal and figurative, to get things back on track."

She added,

"She doesn't realise how unmoored George has become and so it's a pretty rude awakening for her."

Bertha fans should not give up hope because Bertha is expected to fight for her family once again. Carrie explained that Bertha would stay true to her nature as a determined woman. She might come up with a plan, follow it through, and once again put her own needs aside to make sacrifices.

Carrie also pointed out that even when George would put Bertha in a humiliating position, Bertha would still choose to stand by him. According to the actress, the viewers could expect Bertha to work extremely hard to protect George and save their marriage.

Recap before streaming The Gilded Age Season 4: What happened with Bertha earlier in Season 3?

In Season 3, Bertha finally accomplished the objectives she had spent years pursuing. She succeeded in making her daughter a duchess, strengthened her standing in New York society, and even helped reshape the rules of the social world she had worked so hard to enter. However, after accomplishing everything she wanted, she realized that she could lose one person who had supported her and remained by her side from the very beginning.

Bertha continued to hold a powerful position in society. Her daughter became a duchess and gained enough influence to challenge traditions that once seemed impossible to change. However, her marriage faced serious problems.

George survived the assassination attempt but is still dealing with financial conflicts. He also chose to create distance between himself and Bertha because he rethought the future of their relationship.
