Nicola Coughlan Gives You A Tour Of Her Home Town (She's A Galway Girl!)

[@passivesmoker451]

I adored her in Derry Girls and she was really the reason that I tuned in to Bridgerton! I was so excited that she got “that” role! I can’t wait for Pen and Colin’s season!!!!

[@anitaxyz9767]

Omg you mean that Pen and Collin will get together?? I'm so excited!!!

[@passivesmoker451]

[@maiaknox4368]

Until Nicola, I’d never seen an actress close to my height (5’1) and body type playing leading roles. It means a lot to me to see someone who looks like me on TV. I’m so happy for her and her continued success.

I just spat out my tea at that final phrase.

[@zeenatparveen9167]

I was stunned when i learnt she is 34 and plays half her age in bridgerton. Never could I have doubted her age, she played the part of Penelope flawlessly and effortlessly. She is the real "diamond of the first waters".

[@lesliemadariaga8207]

It really calls my attention that actors and generally famous people from Ireland seem so normal and are so humble ! ❤ she is also such a good actress, sometimes I cannot believe that derry girls and bridgerton characters are so different and she personifies them so well ! Brilliant and such a nice woman !

[@lonelypotato6175]

Nicola proves she's a dynamic serious professional actress.

[@allyson1691]

Besides her being a top class human being and deserving of all her success, 2 things stood out to me. The power of a teacher in a persons life. All the people in her life who are just honestly happy for her success and rotting for her. This is what the world needs more of. 💖

[@KristinLBuck]

This is so wholesome. I love all of the memories, her notebooks, the way her family talks about her, seeing her meet her drama teacher again. It's so real and relatable. Galway seems like a beautiful place. It's very contrasted to how I used to view my hometown. She talks about how from the coast of Galway, the next thing to the west is America and it gives a sense of possibility. I grew up in the plains of the midwest and remember feeling like I was stuck in the middle of nowhere. It's nice that she was looking west and got so much positivity from it.

[@shannonhawkins2739]

My heart kicked in my stomach for a second when they showed NUIG. I did a semester at the school in 2016 (I’m American), and I sincerely miss is. Keep having dreams I’m back in Galway, and I need to stop kicking dirt and go back for a visit. I only lived in Ireland for four months, but Galway still has an element of “home” to me. Blew my mind away when I found out two weeks ago Nicola’s from Galway and did NUIG time!
