Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Lady Whistledown revealed the biggest scandal during Bridgerton season 1 and the actress who plays her explains why. Though the focus of the series is on the Bridgerton siblings as they find love, regency-era London's own Gossip Girl, Lady Whistledown is both the narrator of the show and an influential presence in the ton.
We didn’t get all the scripts at once so it was sort of leading there, but I kept thinking, “Penelope’s never gonna do it. She’s too nice; she’s too kind.” But then, part of the Shondaland is they’re not afraid to write complicated women that are unlikeable and make bad decisions sometimes. We don’t have to present this level of perfection.
Why Lady Whistledown's Reveal Makes Sense Penelope Is Fueled By Emotion Close Penelope's decision to reveal her family's secret as Lady Whistledown is a controversial one, confusing fans who saw Penelope as a moral center at Bridgerton's rather dubious core. Coughlan is right, though - people are less willing to accept flawed, complicated women in their television shows, especially when they are influenced so wholly by emotion.
It was only a matter of time before someone outside of the house began to suspect Marina was pregnant, and revealing the truth before Marina is able to get Colin Bridgerton to marry her means, in Penelope's eyes, she's preventing one of her best friends from making a huge mistake while allowing the scandal to break early.
In the second season, she also reveals that Eloise Bridgerton has been sneaking into a part of town where young ladies should not go and that her friend’s sneaking around is coupled with Eloise reading seemingly rebellious materials. This doesn’t entirely ruin Eloise, but it does put her on notice with Queen Charlotte and the rest of the ton. When Eloise discovers that it’s Penelope who has told everyone and has been writing as Lady Whistledown, it also fractures their friendship.
Penelope also begins to use Lady Whistledown as something of a very public journal, airing her own grievances in it. As Lady Whistledown, she takes Colin to task when he first returns in season 3 because she’s still hurt by his words at the end of season two, that he would, “never dream of courting Penelope Featherington.
