After an awesome first episode that introduced us to the Romans and their family dynamic, FOX “Monarch” Spoilers are stoked for what’s to come following a couple of revelations.
The Romans exemplify honesty and country music royalty, but there’s an unknown secret that’ll threaten their standing and very existence, but there’s more coming our way thanks to some sibling rivalry.
Let’s dive in and see what we can expect next.
“Monarch” Spoilers: The darkest of secrets
After we learned that Dottie Cantrell Roman (Susan Sarandon) was dying and broke up country music’s powerhouse duo in a surprise announcement. Of course, more secrets came out as a result.
It was hinted that Dottie burned down the barn and possibly murdered the women Albie Roman (Trace Adkins) had a brief affair with during the early stages of their marriage.
This revelation came after he admitted it to her and she told him she knew. She then took her life with a bottle of sleeping pills and the aid of her daughter and handpicked successor Nicky Roman (Anna Friel).
The assisted suicide ruined what was a special night for the family, as was Dottie telling Nicky she wasn’t Albie’s rose after all.
While it can be argued that Dottie took her secrets to the grave, FOX “Monarch” Spoilers thinks she wanted to leave this world with a clean conscience.
To do that, she left hints that something more happened, but we don’t think her daughters will have time to dig into it.
FOX “Monarch” Spoilers: Sibling rivalry escalates
After their performance together, things aren’t going to go as planned for Nicky as the press will dub Gigi Taylor-Roman (Beth Ditto) “The New Queen.”
Nicky has been groomed to take over for their mother, and in fact she was handpicked by Dottie. But Dottie also gave Gigi a push to join Nicky on stage for their duet.
Gigi didn’t want to perform previously because she didn’t want to upstage her sister, but now the gloves are off and things are going to escalate quickly between them.
This feels like something Dottie expected, and we think it’s meant to bring out the best in both of their lives and careers. It makes sense given she’ll want them to come together as the new top tandem or single stars to continue the family empire.
But it’s also a hard pill to swallow for Nicky as she’s spent her entire life walking in Dottie’s footsteps and her dream is to take over for her, and we’re looking forward to seeing how their relationship and rivalry will continue to grow throughout the season.
Will the sisters find a way to coexist or will things grow more heated between them? Let us know in the comments below and check back with FOX “Monarch” Spoilers for the latest updates, spoilers, and speculation.
