The Bridgertons were named alphabetically (Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, Hyacinth). Eloise and Penelope are the same age, but Lady Featherington chose to have Penelope enter society a bit early at the same time as Daphne and Cressida.

So she's probably just a year younger than Cressida, not that that makes what Cressida does okay. I think Eloise must only be a year younger than Daphne.

Her behavior is inexcusable, but age-wise they have been out in society for the same number of years.

I think Cressida is the reason Whistledown exists to be honest. In the book this season is based on, Colin asks Pen why she started Whistledown and she replies that she came home after her first ball and wrote down her thoughts about what she experienced and heard. She left it out by accident and her father’s solicitor read it and found it hilarious. He convinced her to publish it and continue to write about every social event she went to. So what happened to Pen at her first ball? Cressida ruined her dress on purpose. She spilled her drink on it same as what happens in the show during the second ball Penelope attends. I love that the show included this moment. And took it a step farther by making it a pink dress Pen loved-“mama would never have let me wear this dress; not yellow enough I think.” That’s why I love that they brought back Cressida ruining a dress Pen loved in this episode. And what does she do when she gets home? She writes her Whistledown recap before even changing/undoing her hair for the night. As for writing about Colin…. She was too emotional during their confrontation to listen to him. By the time she returned home she had processed her pain and was ready to lash out. But she couldn’t go see Colin, so she lashed out as Whistledown instead. And it’s not like she was cruel. She was just honest. He does have a new personality entirely. And she knows it’s not the real him because of how different he is around her. I also believe it’s safer to lash out at Colin than it would be for Whistledown to lash out at Cressida. If Whistledown constantly went after Cressida for all the sh-t she puts her through, it’d be pretty easy to discover who Whistledown actually is. Because the only people who care about Penelope in the Ton are Penelope and Colin. No one else acknowledges her unless it’s to be cruel to her. But Colin tends to see how Pen is treated by society and choose not to defend her to the person doing the damage. Instead, he asks if she is okay and tries to make her feel better if it is clear she is not. Again, we see that here. When his friends say “the Featherington girl, why concern yourself with her?” he doesn’t reprimand them for the disrespectful tone. He just excuses himself and goes to check on her. He compliments her dress to make her feel better-and also because he does actually like it-and is shocked when it doesn’t work.

"Danbury in white!" They really shook up the outfits this season and I'm loving it! Pen got her big wardrobe change, but so many characters have new palettes, interesting styles, and generally more flattering outfits. The costumers are doing great work.

I love the colour change for Danbury. Penelope's green dress is emerald green or smaragdus in greek. In ancient Greece laymen gave emeralds as offerings to goddess of love Aphrodite. Today emerald is a symbol of loyalty and new beginnings which suit them

Colin and Penelope are personal to me because my husband and i we too were friends for long time Haha i was his Colin and one thing, 7 years in friendship, made me see him as a man and notice feelings i had not realized.

I personally don't think she said anything wrong about him. She basically pointed out that his attitude has changed since in previous seasons , that was not his attitude. I think people forget that she is the gossip column reporter (TMZ). So when he is flirting with multiple women out of nowhere in public its bound to end up in the pages. It's not like she called him a Rake or insulted him. However i do think what he did was worst. By saying he would never court her , he is diminishing her value amongst the men. Men pay attention to the desirable, so by making her undesirable it just makes the situation worst. The fact that he doesn't understand her situation points out how much he lacks awareness. People need to keep in mind, her business is public society. If anything happens in public society then she reports it. Unfortunately we only see the stories that have to do with them but i'm sure she writes about everyone.

So excited! This is my favorite season so far. I love Colin and Penelope. And Colin, he's a misunderstood character in many ways people undermine his insecurities and traumas too, why he is basically trying to be something he is not. And Pen is the one that has truly read him perfectly questioning this new personality. I read this about him and it made me think even more: When Colin was thinking that he should marry to be taken serious (he told that to Violet) and forge his own way, Anthony shut him down by simply saying he should have taken him to brothels... and there you go, folks, where Colin's example of how a single man should behave comes from. The brother he admires, told him that, and made he believe that's what a man of their position should behave at his age. Maybe if he does, if he acts like them, he's going to find his own path & find his own happiness. When Colin travels, he keeps writing home, wanting to communicate with his family and loved to hear back from them, and also because he really loves to write - and is good at it -, but they rarely if ever ( some) do. And that's why he was always happy that Pen did, as he was mostly ignored and even mocked for that, they were being quite dismissive of him. We know how he also doesn't truly feel like he belongs and that's one of the reasons he went away, run away. Sure, he loves to travel but we know it's also to free himself of the whole 'Colin Bridgerton' he thinks he should be. When Colin tries to make something, do business of his own, but is something out of his depth as he was never prepared for it - Anthony was the heir to the title and older, likely was taught by his father some things already and maybe Colin and Benedict would too but had no time and Anthony never guided him that way, it seems - he was screamed at and, once again, thought he had truly no purpose. Losing his father way younger than Anthony was a huge trauma too. As much as Violet is a good mother, in that context, losing his father put him without a fundamental support and counsel a young men would need at that time, specially on his late teens and young men years. Still, he's very sweet, a soft guy who worries about his family, just look at every situation that he truly is there wanting to support, a romantic and quite naive in the matters of emotions. A kind guy who always wants to make others happy and defend people when he thinks they are being taken advantage of, were wronged or need his help just to feel happy. And yet the only person that actually has always ever done that for him, in every aspects - attention, protection, love, interest and engaging on his life -, is Pen, his kindred spirit.

"She's giving them a chance..." The shift in the way Pen uses Whistledown this season really helped reform her character to me. She's uplifting women instead of just repeating gossip and even her 'takedown' of Colin was rather tame. It's a big shift from the toxic ways she's used LW in the past and I hope she stays on the light side.

Devil's advocate. I feel compelled to make a case for Eloise's short-sighted behavior and about personal sacrifice. Eloise was incautious and impetuous seeking Whistledown, knowing the Queen was watchful of her conduct. Had she realized she was putting Whistledown, and everyone from working class involved in the situation, at risk, perhaps she could have been more cautious. Nevertheless, she was not. She put her friend in a situation of sacrificing her entire work operation, which includes Theo and the store where they are made, a pecuniary loss and putting a target on that group of working class people, not to mention the personal implications of it, for her own amusement and curiosity. Valid to point it out that Penelope tried to dissuade her to find Whistledown, because at this point Eloise knew the Queen was suspicious, including when Eloise acted in such manner at her brother's wedding day. With that said, why is it fair to ask for Penelope to sacrifice everything for Eloise self created problem? She created the situation in which she stood now. The options left left to solve it were few. And the one that was the least destructive was to make a reference to her political partisanship, thus removing the risk for Theo, the other workers, for Eloise and Penelope. And Penelope took in consideration Eloise's words for not caring about what society thought of her and defying it. The problem is that for Eloise those were mere words that she wasn't brave enough to put to practice or didn't believe it in her heart. Nonetheless, it was a minor scandal that could've been bigger had her relationship with Theo be made public, as innocent as it was. Sometimes it feels like we think Penelope should sacrifice everything for other but the others should not.

I will offer this point of view. Colin received a lot attention from all the young ladies. So LW needed to say something about him. Maybe not exactly what she said but she needed to address the fact Colin was a hit with the ladies. He made a point to razzle dazzle the ladies in the room. It may be a bit mean spirited but I don’t think it’s scandalous, especially since he’s male.

What LW wrote about Colin was spot-on! It wasn't scandalous, especially for a man. He needed to be called out and she read him up & down and she did not lie. Even his siblings were like, "Who even are you?" Pen knows him better than anyone. His mom eventually had him clocked. His siblings (except Hyacinth) know something's up but are ultimately clueless. At some point, Hyacinth always asks the love-sick sibling about the main love-interest and causes an awkward moment! It's great. 😂

Violet is so sweet with her son Colin in this season...well,as always 😊❤

I knew we would swim to different shores about Penelope and Lady Whistledown. 😁 I think Pen is still a very young girl, with a problematic and psychologically abusive mother - and sisters - and people around her who plummeted her sense of worth to the ground. And she ends up venting in a messy way because she's very hurt. However, as others have commented, i do appreciate she doesn't not create stories nor lies.

he didnt see her in his arrival scene! She is tucked into the bushes therefore hidden from view! That scene is actually really sweet because when he left for his travels in previous seasons (s1 i think?) he took a glance at Pen's house before he left, and now that he is back he gave the same glance at her house! Its because he missed her!!

I think what's interesting is Colin and Penelope actually have similar issues. They have both been viewed as young for their age and have in many ways lacked confidence in terms of larger society. Neither have really been those that people would listen to the way they've been previously. I think that's why Penelope has used Lady Whistledown so much. Yes it may be that she should have just said the reality to those around her, but the problem was, when she tried no-one actually listened. Even now Eloise refuses to let Penelope explain why she wrote what she did. It's literally like Penelope has spent most of her life screaming into a void. But people do listen to Lady Whistledown, they respect her opinion what she says is seen as important and worth listening to. Thusc why she resorts to speaking through her so frequently. In the same way Colin's swagger and new apparent confidence is to gain the approval and respect of others. He's still being a people pleaser but he's now trying to be taken seriously by his male peers. He's basically acting in many ways the way his brothers have done in the past, but it's not him. Both of their style change is a positive thing, but neither actually believe they will be loved as a Romantic interest for who they truly are. Their confidence is in their alternate persona. In fact another film came to mind watching this that you might want to watch/react to. It's called "The Scarlet Pimpernel" by Baroness Orczy around 50 years before the Regency period when Bridgerton is set. And it's about a secret identity, adventure, and love. I think you'd love it if you haven't already watched it. Best version for me is the one with Antony Andrews, Jane Seymour and Ian McKellen.

I think Colin and Penelope's friendship just so darn cute! 😂

I blame Anthony for Colin's fboy era. lol Remember? Man up and stop being a green boy, go to brothels. Penelope knows Colin well, she saw right through the act. I love LW, i can never be mad at her for that. I agree to disagree with anyone who perceives different but i'm 100% on her side.

Not that I hate Eloise, tbh I probably would react like her if a friend betrayed me but I'm a ride or die for Pen, she's made mistakes like coming for the queen but I think what she "did" to Eloise is/was never a betrayal or form of revenge. in fact she never wrote anything that is even close to being revenge.

Correct me if I’m reaching but doesn’t Colin act just like his grandfather from Queen Charlotte (Lord Ledger) 😬😅

Colin , Pen and Eloise are all wearing masks of some sort and pretending to be something they are not. Colin is trying to be the man he thinks he’s supposed to be and be rakish like Anthony, Benedict and Simon. Of course that isn’t who he really is so it comes across as icky. Both Eloise and Pen( LW ) call him on it. While she wrote his haste, she wasn’t wrong. Eloise says when Colin asks about her changing that basically she is given up and joining the winning team . Her friendship with Cressida is another example . He even notices she isn’t reading the same books she is reading a romance( Emma , a friends to lovers story) . Penelope with the glow up and standing up to Colin is trying to be more herself but of course in thinking she needs to change to find a husband means she thinks she needs a mask because she her own family and the ton have made her feel so defeated. Of course this being a rom com , sometimes taking the wrong paths can help us learn the right lessons we need to get us back on track….. I hope.

Penelope was 17 years old when she started Whistledown, 19 years old in this season. Penelope has always put herself down in Whistledown, she doesn't spare herself in the column because people have always talking bad or ignored that she existed. The Ton loves reading her column until they appear in it. She doesn't print untruths, the ton is already speaking those rumours; she is publishing them and calling them out on their BS. Colin was already called out by his family for his new "personality". People are always wiling to give others a second chance and look forward to their redemption arc but Penelope needs to be destroyed. She has already saved the Bridgerton's twice (Colin and Daphne), Eloise is a touchy one and there are plenty of arguments on both sides. I personal thought Eloise should know better going to met a boy not in her social class by herself without a disguise. She put her family at risk with her actions but she was young, young people do stupid things. People are always down on Penelope, calling her nasty, evil etc. People want complex female characters but when they are written, they hate them for the actions their characters take.

Even Nicola Coughlan who plays Penelope described her behaviour in Season 2 as arrogant, and that while she was motivated to help Eloise, she did do damage because she doesn't understand the full scope of her influence and the resulting consequences. She needs to learn from her mistakes. We need character growth over time after all. It's possible that Queen Charlotte would have punished Eloise for being LW, we know that there was a seriously negative consequence when LW labelled Eloise a social radical, but if the truth REALLY came out. If the Ton found out Eloise was meeting not only a young man improperly chaperoned, but someone from the working class??? That would very likely be game over for Eloise's genuine marriage prospects and she'd either be shunned by her family AND society and become destitute (a "fallen woman"), or go into complete seclusion with money from her family to live comfortably, but alone. As for Colin, she could've said those things she wrote to his face, but that wasn't socially acceptable for a woman to speak to a man in that way. Girl was angry, but not THAT angry. 😂 I can't fault Pen on her business acumen or for knowing what people what, but she should learn to separate business and personal.

​@ScenecrlyK.S.O. please critique Eloise just as much. She has all that privilege and not near as much substance.

Penelope definitely has poor judgement and a power complex with LW, but she did have good intentions with what she did to Eloise even if it wasn't well thought out and was done in the heat or the moment - and it was at the Modiste's advice. The Queen was convinced Eloise was lady whistledown and she was, at the same time as being under the queen's microscope, acting outside of society. Pen eradicated the suspicion of the queen, and saved Eloise further humiliation by citing vague gossip vs someone catching her and assuming a far worse/specific scenario that would actually ruin her entirely. And she /hated/ doing it. Just like she hated what she did to save Colin from Marina tricking him into marriage in the first season. She broke down in tears over it, even. But she has the ability to spare someone she cares about a tragedy in a situation where she believes that she herself wiill either not be believed or has no power and she does - whether or not she should is...well, a different conversation lol. Though I don't think what she wrote about Colin is bad. If anything its just pointing out the obvious - which is what gossip reporters do. They simply point out what new, interesting things are happening - including Colin coming back suddenly looking and behaving out of character. Men don't often get 'ruined' the way ladies do, with the exception of Berbrook, who decidedly deserved it.

"Why are you winking? Do you have something in your eye?" 😂

Your speech about not begging a man to love/want you reminds me of that infamous pick me scene in Grey's Anatomy. I fully agree as even the actress who said that speech stated that the tears in her eyes were because she had to say such things on camera 😭😂

I agree with your thoughts on Penelope. For me, although I empathize with Penelope because of how she's treated by Portia, she is her mother's daughter. How Penelope interacts with the world was learned from both her parents. She operates from a 'By Any Means Necessary' mindset and her alter ego, Lady Whistledown, is the weapon she uses to put that mindset into action.

The order of the Bridgerton kids is: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory and then Hyacinth. Eloise "dumped" Penelope after she discovered Penelope is Lady Whistledown

I think it can be difficult to grasp the total dimension of what being constantly unsupported and/or oppressed by the people who are supposed to love you and be there for you unconditionally could do to you, your self-esteem or self-worth, especially if your physical appearance is not what is "desirable" in society (when, again, your own family's superficial tendencies stresses that on a daily basis 😒). Penelope feels less than EVERYBODY, constantly belittled, even at home, since effing birth! And she's not a saint, so that feeling infuriates her and wants to respond, but lacks the confidence (again, self-esteem underground) to do it face to face, so she hides (yes, cowardly, but for me, totally logical) behind an alter ego. Thing is, that alter-ego she just used to have fun with, be heard, and fish for approval (the ton ignores her, but devours every single word Lady Whistledown writes) started to spin out of control once she noticed her very best friend found her writing boring... She then started to be bolder, daring, and dangerously confrontational with the queen herself! (reckless 😮)... All so she could recover her bestie's admiration, as Lady Whistledown (mistake, but again, no confidence at all to simply overlook what Eloise thought about what she wrote, and just keep on doing what she wanted the way she wanted regardless). That mistake lead to the queen hunting her down and, because -in part- of Eloise's own recklessness in the way she visited Theo and the printing shop, the queen ended up thinking Eloise was LW putting her in danger (MESSY). She never even conceived the possibility to confess right then and there, I think, primarily, because her social status was so precarious in her mind that confessing would be real social death, from which she thought she would never be able to recover (no support whatsoever in any front: from society, obviously, but neither from her family). Then, she thought nobody -especially, the queen- would have believed that the perpetually ignored-nobody-18-year-old-wallflower Penelope Featherington was Lady Whistledown anyhow... Not when who was accused was her best friend. What she wrote "against" Eloise was obviously a huge wrongdoing, but it could have actually been way worse (she just mentioned the political "radicals", not the cute printing assistant she visited, unchaperoned!). The whole thing was a total mess, yes, but she knew that Eloise was going to be OK eventually, due to the awesome family she has. She definitely thought she could never say the same about herself and her situation. That's why Penelope doesn't scare me, she has the power to destroy, but she rarely truly uses it in its actual potential, not even when she's fuming with anger. Even in the case of Marina, when she tried in every way she could to stop her wedding with Colin without revealing the pregnancy, she only used LW as the last resort, because (again, cowardly, but logically avoiding the disdain and contempt that would have surely fall upon her if she revealed the truth as herself) she loves Colin and there was no way she would let him be trapped with a child that was not his. Thing is, for me, and many I guess, is easy to say how wrong are the things she does, but I never was as utterly alone in my household as she has always been... And she's just 18-19!!! She's got way too much power being so young. It's ridiculous. She's obviously bound to make mistakes at that age and with so many internal issues as she has, but with such power, those mistakes are also bound to be huge 🤦🏽‍♀️. So, for me, it might not look pretty and be way messier than it could be, but it sadly makes a lot of sense.

Love your blue head dress.

That is Pen’s biggest fault…that she writes based on emotion. She’s going to have to face the consequences of those actions at some point. So far she’s already facing it with Eloise. I love the glow up for Pen, she really comes into her own style this season, gorgeous! Colin’s chiseled glow up is hot, but I’ve always thought he was a cutie. I’m hoping the friendship between Eloise and Cressida will show C that there is a better way to treat people, and make C a better person. The colors and fashion are fabulous as always, but I am still not a fan of Cressida’s hair and dresses. Love this show!

I agree Francesca and Cressida were pleasant surprises and Featherington sisters were a riot I can't wait for SPOILERS Insert himself where 🤣

Well, now that we've started season 3 I can ask - any regrets about starting and committing to this show?

HAHAHAA - NONE

I’m love that you back Eloise! So many are down on her… but you get it! I love Eloise and she could have been totally ruined by what Penelope did. But she held strong and kept the secret of Penelope when she could have exposed her out of anger. She’s a real one. I like we get a glimpse into why Cressida is how she is also this season…

Hiiiiii

Kemi, I'm telling you, your character analysis of Pen is impeccable. People like to overlook her venomous pen, but she can be cruel. But guess what, we all have that propensity. It's just a matter of keeping it in check. And when the man she loves finds her out, there will be hell to pay.

I APPRECIATE YOUR REVIEW - THANK YOU SO MUCH. I PRAY PEN TELLS HIM THE TRUTH - REMEMBER WHAT HE SAID TO MARINA -"IF YOU HAD TOLD ME THE TRUTH..."

LW is basically the personification of Pen's "shadow side" - she's never been able to express her thoughts and feelings healthily within the confines of either her family or the larger society around her, so it unfortunately comes out through her alter ego in (sometimes) maladaptive ways. It is the moments when Pen is in a highly emotional state without means to "vent" that LW is at her cruelest, and there is no one to ground or check her.

You can excuse Eloises behaviour but not Penelopes.. ok

I just hope the Emma you watch isn't the one with Paltrow as the star, she was awful

I only said this because Emma is such an innocent girl, that never had to worry about anything, and was loved. The Paltrow one, makes her seem mentally disturbed, without any outward signs of real feelings.

I am confused. Did you forget what Pen did in season2 in her quest to "help" Eloise by disclosing Eloise had been seeing a man without a chaperone?? That damaged Eloise's reputation greatly! Pen's concern is whether or not Eloise will out her as Lady Whistledown. Pen has given as much nasty as she has gotten, just in secret. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I know people love Pen; but I don't find her that great. She is majorly flawed.

She didn't. She disclosed the political aspect of it, not a romantic aspect. Which i'm glad, because weirdly, it's less damaging to that crazy society.

@@Ihaveseenamovie Yes! I'm glad others noted this. Pen actually saved Eloise's reputation as much as possible by not specifically naming Theo as the reason why Eloise was visiting that part of town. The idea of a romantic entanglement with a "lesser than" would've been far more ruinous vs mingling with nameless, faceless "political radicals". She also saved Theo from losing his job by doing this. Eloise was being extremely careless in her dealings with him and no doubt would have been outed before long by someone far less kind than LW, and far more willing to smear her name as a "loose" woman.
