Having a best friend is having a special relationship with someone. Trusting them beyond trusting yourself. Letting them into all aspects of your life.
But I will challenge the idea that your best friend knows everything about you. No one knows everything about you. But the big things in life, you’re definitely supposed to be telling your best friend the big things.
However, if you’re watching Bridgerton you know that Penelope Featherington is keeping a big secret from her best friend.
Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton in the Netflix drama talked with Harper’s Bazaar about how Eloise may feel when she finds out just who Lady Whistledown is.
“I just can’t imagine what that is going to be like,” she said to the outlet about the situation. “That’s such a shock to a friendship. You have this woman, this character, this mysterious scribbler that Eloise is basically a bit in love with, and kinda wants to be her best mate — has been lying to her, writing about her family, and causing scandals. To me, that’s the most compelling thing in the world.”
Would you be pissed if your best friend kept a secret like that? How would you feel?
Season One of Bridgerton is streaming now on Netflix.
