Tom York, the 33-year-old actor best known for playing Sam Carne in the BBC drama Poldark, married his long-term girlfriend, model Kara Milner, over the weekend in a ceremony described as "beautiful and amazing" by attendees. The wedding also served as a mini reunion for the Poldark cast, seven years after the show's finale.
Wedding Details and Engagement
York and Milner got engaged two years ago when the actor proposed at Kew Gardens in west London. The wedding took place over the past weekend, with several of York's former co-stars in attendance. Beatie Edney, who played Prudie Paynter in the series, shared a gushing tribute to the newlyweds on social media, giving fans a sneak peek inside the nuptials.
Eleanor Tomlinson, who starred as Demelza Poldark, also joined writer Debbie Horsfield and posed for a selfie with the groom. Tomlinson shared a string of snaps on social media, writing: "Tom York got married to his love Kara." Edney posted on Instagram: "Several of our Poldark family were there to celebrate, including @eleanortomlinson and our fabulous writer #debbiehorsfield as well as #freddiewise and #turloughconvery."
Fan Reactions and Poldark Legacy
Fans congratulated the married couple in the comments section of the posts. One wrote: "Nice one. Good to see you all looking happy." Another added: "Aww lovely to see you guys together again. Congratulations." A third fan told the groom: "You all look so great, congrats Tom. Time to get the team back for Poldark."
The BBC drama Poldark, based on Winston Graham's novels, centred around Ross Poldark, a British Army officer returning home from the American Revolutionary War to find his fiancée Elizabeth married to his cousin. The series ran for five seasons, ending in 2019. According to star Aidan Turner, the show was always planned to last only five seasons. He told the BBC: "When we started Poldark we aimed to complete the majority of the books that we could, which would likely take us up to series five. So during filming for this series, there was a sense of completion and relief that we made it this far, that the show has been successful and that people enjoy watching it. Hitting that mark and returning for the fifth series was always the goal and we are proud to have achieved that."
Series Finale and Future
The series finale tied up many loose ends, revealing that George Warleggon (Jack Farthing) killed General Toussaint (Nico Rogner) to save Ross, and Demelza and Ross reconciled as she prepared for the birth of their child. However, the ending left Ross's story somewhat open-ended, leaving fans hopeful for a potential return. The BBC never officially stated why the series would not return, but the five-season plan was always the intention.
