Nicola Coughlan aka Penelope aka Lady Whistledown shares some spoilers about her character from Bridgerton season 2 on Netflix.

“She’s still desperately in love with him”: Nicola Coughlan Hints About THIS Couple, Ahead of &#8216;Bridgerton&#8217; Season 2

At the end of Bridgerton season 1, the show left us in a cliffhanger, where we
know that Penelope Featherington is Lady Whistledown. Whistledown will continue
to spread the gossip through her column among the Nobel society of London. Even
the queen agitated because she still doesn’t know who Whistledown is. With
season 2 of Bridgerton a mere five days away, the trailer revealed young
Penelope struggling to lead her double-life as Lady Whistledown. But does this
double-life affect her growing romantic relationship with Collin and her bond
with her best friend, Eloise in Bridgerton season 2?

Let’s find out what Nicola Coughlan has to say about her character.

Even Coughlan loves the idea that the creator of the show reveals the secret
identity of Lady Whistledown. Nicola Coughlan explains, “if you keep them going
for too long, it’s always… not satisfying when it gets revealed. If that’s the
thing it’s leading up to you, then you’re always like, ‘Oh, it’s that person?
Oh, OK.’ So I think it was such a good idea. Also, because it meant that I get
to have loads of fun in Season 2.”

LADY WHISTLEDOWN IS NEVER AROUND THE VISCOUNT

In conversation with The Wrap, Nicola Coughlan
[http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/nicola-coughlan] shares how in season 2 of
Bridgerton [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton/], she doesn’t share a
scene with co-star Jonathan Bailey. Despite Bailey, taking the center of the
platform, Penelope and Anthony are never in one scene. Coughlan claims that her
character never goes close to Anthony for gossip. Lady Whistledown and Penelope
believe more in listening than questioning: That’s her vibe. Does this mean, the
storyline in Aubrey Hall (as in the books) will see some changes in season 2?

In the book, the two characters have a scene, where the Viscount saves Penelope
from Cressida Cowper’s scathing remarks: This is a rather defining moment in
Anthony and Kate’s story, as well. For Kate starts to see Anthony in a different
light after this. Yet, if we are to believe Coughlan, then we may not see this
scene at all. Perhaps, Colin will do the honors instead? Time will answer all
our questions regarding the upcoming season

Having said that, she remembered she indeed does have one scene with Jonathan
Bailey [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jonathan-bailey], set at the Bridgeton
House. According to her, shooting that scene was particularly fun because every
time Jonathan saw her, he would laugh and ask, “Why are you here!?” That’s how
much they are not used to sharing a scene. We certainly hope that changes in the
later seasons.


WHAT’S IN STORE FOR LADY WHISTLEDOWN IN BRIDGERTON SEASON 2?

Season 2 will see a lot of changed in Penelope’s life. However, it’s her close
relationships with the two people who understand her, with whom she shares a lot
of time, that may be affected. They are Eloise and Collin, Anthony’s siblings.
In these two seasons, Coughlan’s character builds a friendship with Claudia
Jesse’s Eloise
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-nicola-coughlan-and-claudia-jessie-indulge-in-pottery-robbery-as-they-guide-us-through-the-beautiful-location-sets-of-bridgerton/]
and shares an easy rapport with Colin. Now, that Eloise gets her formal societal
entry, we will see more of her at the many balls. Coughlan agrees and said,
“Because in Season 1, I’d be like, ‘I’m on my own again. I’m standing here for
hours and there’s no one to talk to.’ Whereas now I’m like, ‘Oh, I have a
buddy.”

Colin (played by Luke Newton)
[https://netflixjunkie.com/what-does-colin-bridgerton-actor-luke-newton-have-in-common-with-his-character/]
and Penelope have some interesting interactions in season 2, as they are
neighbors. Their relationship grew because they always wrote letters to each
other when Colin was away from the town. So, Colin knows the real Penelope and
there is no awkwardness between them. In season 2, we can hope to see their
relationship progress a bit because it seems the timeline is different in the
series than the books

Nicola Coughlan adds
[https://www.thewrap.com/bridgerton-season-2-nicola-coughlan-interview-polin/],
“But he’s very much in his head still. She’s still desperately in love with him,
100% if not more than she was in Season 1. And he’s seeing her in another light,
but he’s not. He’s not where she is, let’s say.”

Season 2 of Bridgerton will drop on Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] on March 25th, 2022. Are you excited
for the release?
