I was quite sure Cressida was secretly in love with Eloise and Eloise being gay without yet realizing this fact; she’s the one who actually gives me really gay vibes. I expected them to have romance and their story to develop. Quite disappointed scriptwriters deprived us from their potential romance. But frankly this season 3 I really felt empathy for Cressida, I felt sorry for her because she had no one to help her, all by herself with horrible parents, living hell at home and Eloise abandoning her when she needed her the most. I hope that Cressida gets her happy ending after all🙏 The fact season 4 comes in 2026 is craazy, can’t wait this long!!😭

am i the only one that feels so sad and devastated for Cressida? her mother is physically abused (the bruised arm moment was so painful), she got ridiculed when Penelope got praised for the same thing? unhappy and restricted in her own life, Debling’s absence in part 2. he would’ve been perfect cause he likely isn’t engaged in gossip at all, and wouldn’t be interested in the whole ‘unmask the lady whistledown’ thing and could genuinely support her. i was hoping she would run out to him. or if anything, Creolise would make more sense as the lgbt plot than whatever the writers have in mind (however i’m not so sure anymore after how they’ve complextly ruined their friendship).
@@cm5733 it’s episode 6 around 59th minute, when they are at the balcony (Mondrich’s ball). some people suggested it’s ink to show that the mom has written the issue for her, so i can now see it, but still not sure what to believe
I honestly had to pause because I was laughing so hard at “I simply cannot understand why others do not see things the way I do.” It is so inherently me it’s painful 😂 sent it to my mom and everything. We had a good laugh.
@@shreevidhyaiyer1062 EXACTLY! 😂 anyone who’s ever been a “different thinker” felt this moment to their core haha even coming back to it makes me laugh each time.
The problem I have with Eloise is that she’s all bark and no bite. She talks a big game about women’s rights, but she makes almost no effort to do anything about it, and the little effort she does put in, she gives up on it as soon as it gets too hard.
I don't care of Cressida, i don't forgive her about Penelope, she will never deserve this... Penelope is my favourite.... I love her and always will ! Eloise isn't a good friend for her...
Cressida was an abused child, then given away to an old man by her family and cruelly abandoned by her best friend when she needed her the most. She might not be the best person but she has a lot of reasons to act the way she does! Meanwhile Penelope ruined people's lives through Whistledown, like I love her but she isn't that good of her person either...
No thank you! I hate being Padme! More money, more problems! More crazy people like you! If you ever talk to me in public Arissa I will cry and run away! If anyone tells me that they should be allowed to blast Britney Spears Toxic and sing loudly and talk about castration and insult their hijabi sister and not let me do my work in peace I also should be allowed to cry in public! Without having my vest stolen again!
Colin is incapable of looking Lord Debling in the eye. The only time he did was when Debling danced with Penelope, but he usually avoids his gaze or watches him out of the corner of his eye, without daring to speak to him. I don't know if Colin feels inferior to Debling or if he is simply trying to control his jealousy, but I find his reactions very amusing.
I actually want Cressida to own up for her bullying of Penelope for last season. I want her to be self-aware enough to have a talk with Pen and the two may not be friends, but they would have some sort of truce and understanding. So there will be less hostility going forward (since they'll all be in each other's social circle).
I am really hoping this will be a change from the book. If they keep the storyline of Cressida claiming to be Whistledown, I really hope they complicate it further. In the books its for money, but in the show it is only slightly hinted the Cowper's can use money but they aren't in dire distress.
I also hope this happens at some point. I don't think it makes sense at this point in the story, not at this early stage in her character development, but I would like to see it down the line
compared to large open windows of the Bridgerton drawing room and the warm welcoming space, the mausoleum is a very apt description for the Cowper house
I wonder why Pen doesn’t just accept Debling’s offer and rid herself of the Bridgertons since she resents them so much (considering the show plot not book version)
She does not hate them. In fact, I think she idolizes/idealizes them. Her LW alter does have to write about the most 'yummy' gossip and the Bridgerton is the 'It' family of that era. So that's why to get people reading and buying, she wrote about them. The whole point of the 'gossip' column is to write the most relevant/yummiest gossip, and that's the Bridgertons.
@@tracys169 resentment and hate are not the same. You can love someone and still resent the things they do/the way they act. And if she’s just using them for gossip we have to wonder whether she genuinely cares for the family or has been staying connected to them all this time for personal gain rather than any friendly affection for El or love for Collin.
@@morningr.9502 She genuinely does care about the family because of how she ruined Marina to prevent them from being talked about and being in a scandal afterwards and she's been friends with Colin and Eloise since they were children and she ruined Nigel Berbrooke for Daphne so that she could marry Simon
@@morningr.9502Penelope has been a long time family friend of the Bridgertons since childhood. She fell in love with Colin the very moment she met him and has been friends with Eloise since childhood too.
This is a surprisingly cute friendship :D Eloise's constant whining is still annoying but I hope that Cressida at least has the backbone to turn around and force her to see reality. I want Eloise and Pen to reconcile eventually, when Eloise gets over herself and Pen can be a little more assertive, but the bond between Cressida and Eloise has promise
Yeah, I’m starting to feel a little bad for her. And Eloise out here just joking about it. I’m sure she only said that to lighten the mood but now isn’t the time.
Eloise having a deep one sided conversation about society and marriage and Cressida is rolling her eyes so hard. I dont like Cressida but it annoys me that she is suffering with such a horrible family, her father pressuring her to marry or making an agreement with an old dude to marry her, Cressids feeling trapped on that situation and Eloise still like "whY dO wE aLwAyS hAvE tO thiNk abOuT mArRiaGe?" lady, read the room please! You have a loving family who are clearly not trying to pressure you to marry nor they are obligating you to have "femenine hobbies" to impress a man, you still have all the time to read and spend time making friends and Cressida who is in an actual dreadful situation has to hear you complain about a problem that you are clearly not suffering. Eloise is still very sheltered and needs to open her vision a lot.
I honestly think both her and even her mother to a lesser extent are victims of Lord Cowper’s influence. Because Lady Cowper has also been pressured by her husband to marry their daughter off too. And she didn’t seem to mind Cressida making new friends because of that small argument with Lord Cowper.
Also. Cressida asked her about her opinions. It's not like Eloise started her monologue just because. Cressida literally asked her for it. I don't think you should hold anything against Eloise if she did what she was asked for Like what exactly Eloise should had said if she would "read the room"? Said nothing? Lie? It's just the fact that what Eloise think is quite not sensitive thowards Cressida situation, but it is what it is
@@olakeska7908 Honestly, Eloise’s vehemence is because she knows how hard things are for Cressida and she’s placing the blame on society. She ain’t wrong about it either. I think Cressida does value her friendship with Eloise and she shows it by being possessive, but it was rude of her to strike up a conversation and then ignore it to zero in on a matrimonial target. It was a perfect illustration of what Eloise was trying to say.
@@olakeska7908 she asked and then proceeded to be annoyed by it because Eloise kept talking about not doing what society expects when Cressida, sadly had that only option to be free.
I still don’t like Cressida much but I have begun to feel a little bad for her throughout this season. She’s obviously pressured a lot by her parents to marry and she’s just as much of a victim in this society as any other lady is. And her father does not make things easier for her at all.
Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if all of it was a ploy by Cressida to hurt Penelope more and more. She has heard Eloise gripe at various events/balls, she knows what Eloise believes, and she's already shown herself to be horrible with a drive to wound Penelope as much as she can. It would not shock me if she ends up just playing to Eloise's ego, trying to sink her claws in and lure Eloise into her hateful web, just to hurt Penelope more and more. I mean, imagine it from Cressida's view, here's an opening to snag the "friendship" of an elite Bridgerton who had already rebuffed her in defense of Penelope in the past. This is her golden opportunity to get what she wants, an elite, top tier debutant in her circle of friends. And with the added bonus of wounding the wallflower in the process by having her former friend/defender choose her bully/tormenter over Pen :(
I don’t think so. I used to believe this friendship was a means to an end for Cressida too but now I think she genuinely likes Eloise. All she wants is a friend and her parents(specifically her father)do not want her to have one. Though her mother did seem ok with having Eloise around. After all, I feel like she’s just as much a victim of Lord Cowper’s pressure as well as Cressida.
@DfyGrvt21 OMG, when I watched S3, I was shocked how tolerable Cressida is in this season.. But with this kind of point of view, I can see the Cressida I had read in the book. Thanks for the valuable perspective 🙌🏻
Honestly, I can believe that it started out as Cressida using Eloise, but over time it became a real friendship, just like how Daphne and Simon’s fake courting led to real romance.
I would like to see her reaction when Cressida decides to be dishonest and try and claim the money from the Queen for something she didnt do? Or if they put in the part where she tries to blackmail Penelope
Now it's more understandable why Cressida decides to go that route. Having $$ would enable her to have some independence/some say on whom she'd marry so her father and mother can't quite push her to marry one of dad's old friends.
I been saying this for so long now, but if Cressida becomes a young widow (even with kids), you can LITERALLY do Eloise's book plot with Cressida and it would feel much more natural with Cressida than the rat Phillip. I need Cressida or Footman John to be endgame just NOT Phillip.
Finally someone says it. She expects her ideas and way of foing things to be respected while looking down on people who want to get married and be in love like Daphne & Penelope. Another example is her saying Pen wanting a husband siunded nothing like her, it shows she never really thought of what Pen wanted and just assumed she thought the same way she did. I hope she has some character development where she realizes she's been just as close minded as she acuses society of being.
@@elisonholace4033 penelope told her since season 1 that she was interested in a marriage and on this season Eloise is still like "Pen doesnt like that idea" 😂😂😂😂😂 Does she ever pay attention to anything or what? 😂
@@AR-nt3cwI’d like to remind people we had a whole season where a character was SA’d every night by her husband. Bridgerton is a romance/historical fiction, but the idea that marriage brings safety or security is one that even the show denounces. A love match is very rare for the majority of characters
@@jeihaynes7077 True, but Eloise is privileged enough to come from one of the few families that wants their children to find love matches rather than use them for a good connection. She does not have to worry about the same things as most of these women do, yet she judges them.
