The crisis pushed her to re-start the Whistledown missives and lose herself in a world of arched-brow, catty gossip. It all ended in a painful fight that left Pen at rock bottom – friendless, humiliated, unloved and with little to lose. She overheard the object of her unrequited affections Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton) telling his pals that he’d never court her, and his sister Eloise had rumbled her Whistledown secret.
The season two finale was a disaster for Penelope. Played by Nicola Coughlan, Penelope is the youngest Featherington, best friend of proto-feminist Eloise Bridgerton, and the writer behind anonymous gossip sheet columnist Lady Whistledown. So the stage was set for Anthony’s season two search for a Viscountess.īy the season two finale, Anthony and his true love Kate were happily spliced and amusing themselves with sexy rom-com bickering, but who should be in the ‘readying for next season’ crisis? Not Luke Thompson’s next-in-line brother Benedict (the lead in book three of Julia Quinn’s series), whose biggest finale moment was closing his paint box in a sulk, but Penelope Featherington. The Viscount’s opera singer mistress had moved on, having made the tough decision for them both in the knowledge that Anthony’s offer of a society-defying marriage could never work for a man of his responsibilities. Warning: contains spoilers for Bridgerton seasons one and two, and for book three ‘An Offer From a Gentleman’.īridgerton season one ended with romantic leads Daphne and Simon married and at peace (having worked out their issues in time for their sex life to actually bear issue) and with Anthony Bridgerton in crisis and cued-up to lead the next season.
