Penelope and Colin's Unfolding Romance

In the highly anticipated third season of Bridgerton, fans eagerly awaited the blossoming romance between Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton. However, some viewers have questioned the chemistry between the characters, comparing it to the electrifying connections seen in previous seasons. Nicola Coughlan, who portrays Penelope, has finally addressed these concerns.

A New Dynamic

Nicola explained that for the first two seasons, Penelope's unrequited love for Colin was meant to be evident, with Colin remaining oblivious. "It was meant to be that she was puppy dog-eyed in love with this dude who had no clue," she shared in an interview. This dynamic required the actors to hold back on showing their full chemistry, which has now become a topic of debate among fans.

Real Chemistry Unleashed

Coughlan revealed that the chemistry between her and co-star Luke Newton, who plays Colin, was not something they had to work on. "One of my friends says, 'You have an unsettling level of chemistry,' and I was like, 'Okay, I’ll take that,'" she remarked. This natural chemistry, she believes, is finally coming to the forefront in season three as their characters' relationship evolves.
