Is ‘Rivals’ Cooking Up a Bas & Taggie Romance? Luca Pasqualino Says… (VIDEO)

Rupert Campbell-Black, can you fight?

In his quest to keep Taggie (Bella Maclean) at arm’s length because he doesn’t want to hurt her, while also protecting Cameron (Nafessa Williams) from Tony (David Tennant), Rupert (Alex Hassell) may be paving a path for Taggie to look for a connection with someone very close to him — fellow Rutshire lothario Basil “Bas” Baddingham (Luca Pasqualino) — in Rivals Season 2.

From the moment he met Taggie and tried one of her “ambrosial” dishes, Bas has always praised Taggie’s talents.
