Whoa! Is that your wife, Ross?

OF COURSE it isn’t! In a heartstopping opening to the new series, Captain Ross Poldark comes to the rescue of former lover Elizabeth (Heida Reed) when her horse bolts and threatens to throw her.

You would think that the very married Ross would want to stay clear of Elizabeth given everything that has passed between them.

But he has never been one to learn from his past mistakes.

Fans should prepare for more latenight gallops into the night so he can stand and stare longingly at the other woman in his life.
