Bridget Jones is soon to be a sad singleton once again. In an interview about the series’ forthcoming third book, Mad About The Boy, that ran in yesterday’s Sunday Times, Helen Fielding revealed that [spoiler alert, we guess] she’s killed off Mark Darcy, Jones’ “just as you are” love, presumably because a Bridget Jones book wouldn’t be interesting if its main character is actually happy. While the offing obviously doesn't mean much to anyone who’s not interested in the books or movies, it’s big news for fans, who are absolutely appalled that Fielding would kill a character so important to the series—and, of course, so tied to actor Colin Firth.
