Eloise Bridgerton (Claudia Jessie) has always railed against the conventions and expectations of the ton.
Penelope really gaslit her into believing that that was a bad thing to do."

That’s what I’d want them to clear up more than anything.
Eloise would want that so much.
It’s a lot to go through.
Eloise loses her best mate and a potential partner all in one season."
Might she go back to him?
“I would love if that was the case,” she says.
“I hope so.
That would be amazing.
He was really beautiful to work with.”
“I’d love if Eloise could just change the mold a bit,” adds Jessie.
“And just have a boyfriend.
CLAUDIA JESSIE:It’d be quite cool just to see her date.
She could just date people.
If anyone can get away with it, it’s Eloise.
Wouldn’t it be cool to see her maybe date someone, and then maybe date someone else?
That can happen, that happens in life all the time.
I’d love to see that pushed across on the screen.
How did that come to be?
Was it something either of you pushed for more of this season?
They both just desire other.
They want something other than what they’re experiencing and what they’re forced to be a part of.
There are expectations on both of them, and they charm each other and they really get along.
They can be playful and make fun of each other.
We both pushed for more of our little swing scenes and stuff.
We both were missing those.
We were like, “When are we going to get together again?”
They’re my favorite scenes to shoot.
I love being with Luke Thompson.
He’s a beautiful person.
He really backs her up, which is adorable.
In some ways, Eloise’s identity has been built upon her quest to uncover Whistledown.
Do you think she will struggle to find her footing without that?
Yeah, I do.
But that will only be to her benefit.
At first, she might find it lonely and quite shocking.
Eloise talks all the time.
She constantly talks, and actually being able to see her take action would be really great.
The show has flirted a little with non-heterosexual romance.
Some have speculated Eloise might be bisexual or queer.
Would you want to explore something like that with her?
It’s really interesting that people sense that in her.
People sense a real queer spirit … and that’s really beautiful.
I really enjoy how that’s happening.
I’d love to explore that.
