Nicola Coughlan on How She Kept Bridgerton's Biggest Secrets Under Wraps

[@cgill914]

I love what Nicola said about there being something really special about a show that knows when to exit the stage. Shows like that make you miss them when they go.

[@emilycohan]

Nicola is a treasure and honestly my favorite part of Bridgerton. I absolutely love Derry Girls. ❤️❤️❤️ Go Nicola Go!!!

[@marykay7878]

derry girls is by far the funniest series i have ever seen. hard for me to understand because of the accent and being german, but so so so so worth it. just brilliant. lisa mcgee is a creative and comedic genius.

[@emilycohan]

I agree - I always marathon it so quickly when it comes out - and rewatch it with friends and family. So so so good. :)

[@passivesmoker451]

Absolutely! I’m deliriously happy that she’s getting recognized globally bc of Bridgerton but her as Clare in Derry Girls is her best performance yet

[@vickiebify]

I totally agree ❤️

[@cmarq817]

I so love Derry Girls as well! My favourite is the nun! 😂

[@marloncervantes2512]

[@isabelladamonte6731]

Love woman 💓🎊

[@machadoicon]

I don’t understand why I teacher would tell her this. Acting is acting

[@EleonoraFerroni]

it's a series from a book, so everybody who read the books already knew guys

[@AbbyMaskell]

I haven't read the books but figured out the reveal way before it happened. I don't know how it was so surprising

[@prismatism]

Can y’all believe she’s in her mid 30s already?

[@residentsteve]

I know she looks much younger imo but I do think it’s because she a little on the plumper side that it helps and she’s so cute.

[@wildmntflower]

Really? I had no idea! I'm 33, and she looks so young to me. I love her in everything I've ever seen her in, and hope to see more from her in the future!

[@sjstevens6375]

Well, it was in the books!!!!

[@Dublin90210]

It's a book that's been out for like twenty years guys... How's it a big secret?

[@armandoucles5346]

Nobody reads books thats why HAHA!!!

[@residentsteve]

What’s a book I wait for it to come blu-ray or streaming 😂.

[@anyarhiness]

Secret?!... It's a book...

[@tvloover80]

Me and the hundreds of thousands of Romance readers that have read the books - biggest secret? O...kay *Edit - I could have sworn I wrote Romance not Rance. What the hell kind of word is Rance?

[@byrdbox]

They've already strayed so far from the books I don't know that it's safe to make any assumptions.

[@tvloover80]

@@byrdbox - sure. I'm aware that any time there's an adaptation of something they will change things. But if they had changed Penelope being Mrs. Whistledown - it would have been too much of a change. Not online with the story. They changed details about Marina - a character that doesn't really appear in the books. She's there but only for Phillip & Eloise's story. Eloise never met her. Maybe she had as children as they were related distantly. My comment was mocking the secret that "no one knew"

[@infinity78999]

Rance is a fake boyfriend name that Christina Applegate's character used to make someone jealous on her show Samantha Who 😂

[@tvloover80]

@@infinity78999 - Lol. Thank you for that. I didn't (don't) remember that. I need to re-watch that show. It needed more seasons. Sam was always "good" at thinking on her feet.

[@MrLiangyuwei]

Just read the books

[@acousticoriginals]

How was it not obvious in the season 1 final episode? 😅

[@karybooks]

I mean… did no one read the books? Lol it is not a spoiler as per book 4.

[@julianaroh5509]

??what about inviting the main cast Simone Ashley??

Bloody face masks!🙄🙄🙄🙄
