Fans love the friendship between Penelope and Eloise on “Bridgerton.”

Penelope is played by Nicola Coughlan.

Eloise is played by Claudia Jessie.

Both actresses talked with EW about problems in their relationship.

Eloise is expected to make a love match of her own but she just wants to find out the identity of Lady Whistledown!

Unfortunately, she has no idea that Lady Whistledown is her own best friend.

Her appearance at parties is going to make it hard for Penelope to catch the latest gossip.

But Jessie said it would be “shattering” if Eloise was to find out the truth!

“If a friendship can’t survive with secrets, it shouldn’t be there anyway,” she added.
