The Netflix version of Marina Thompson, now Marina Crane, is already very different from her character in the books. In the book series, Marina is never seen on the page. She's only talked about in the past tense in Eloise's book, "To Sir Phillip with Love," where she is the late wife of Sir Phillip Crane and a distant cousin to the Bridgertons.
For Netflix's version, Marina is the main character in the first season. She's a cousin of the Featheringtons who turns out to be pregnant by her love, a man named George Crane. With George having vanished while fighting overseas, she desperately seeks a quick marriage to save herself and her child, setting her sights on Colin Bridgerton. He falls for her fast, but when Whistledown reveals her pregnancy, he breaks up with her over her lies. She winds up marrying George's brother, Phillip, after learning George has died.
Marina makes a surprise reappearance in season two when Colin comes to visit her. It's a bittersweet meeting, but Marina surprises Colin by noting that he has someone who loves him in Penelope, if he'd only open his eyes to see it.
