A young, naive, and genuine lad,

While Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin’s (Luke Newton) steamy storyline has everyone gripped firmly by the loins in Bridgerton season three so far, Colin’s big brother Benedict. At long last, Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan are finally getting their time in the spotlight as lovers Colin and Penelope on the latest season of Bridgerton. But their on-screen romance has.

Much like the build-up to Colin and Peneolope’s romance, this long-game approach to Benedict’s identity made it all the more satisfying when he fell into bed with his first male lover. Julia Quinn is standing her ground for this season's diamond. During the season three finale of Bridgerton , the Netflix series revealed a major change from the books by introducing the future love interest Franchesca Bridgerton Hannah Dodd as Michaela Sterling Masali Baduza —not Michael, like in the books.

But while some fans expressed frustration over the gender swapping, the books' author is defending the decision. So, when showrunner Jess Brownell approached her with the idea of turning Michael—whom Francesca marries after the death of her husband John played by Victor Alli —into Michaela, Julia emphasized that she thought long and hard before making any decisions.

More than once. I made it clear that it was extremely important to me that Francesca's abiding love for John be shown on screen. And the year-old is confident that Franesca's season will be equally as gut-wrenching as her book When He Was Wicked. She even credited how season three of Bridgerton , which saw Francesca and John marry, expanded upon her source material. But she also urged, "I ask that you grant me and the Shondaland team some faith as we move forward.

Meanwhile, Jess previously shared that adjusting the fifth Bridgerton's storyline was inspired by her book's theme. Maybe not in the way Julia Quinn intended. Want to see what else the show writers changed in season three of Bridgerton? Keep reading. In Netflix's version, Penelope Featherington Nicola Coughlan becomes our heroine, deciding that at only 19 years old it's time to give herself a full makeover in an effort to shed her wallflower ways and find a husband.

To that end, she nixes the yellows and oranges she's worn for most of seasons one and two, instead opting for more flattering dresses and colors— oftentimes wearing the famed Bridgerton blue. Pen also gets help from Colin Bridgerton Luke Newton , whom she has had a crush on for years , on how to improve her flirting techniques.

The circumstances are very different for book Penelope, who is already 28 years old in Romancing Mister Bridgerton , since the story is set in , 10 years after Anthony Bridgerton Jonathan Bailey married Kate Sharma Simone Ashley. Book Penelope is considered an old maid and her fashion transformation stems more from her mother finally leaving her alone after she doesn't get married.

While book Pen is also stressed about being stuck with her mother for the rest of her life, it does not prompt her to find a husband. Another major difference? No one—not even the reader! Colin is our dashing young suitor in season three, and as has been the case for his character throughout the show, book Colin's trajectory is different from show Colin. In the book, he is 33 years old and has been traveling extensively for years—as opposed to just a few months in the show—rarely leaving him at home.

He also finds himself struggling to find his purpose, which he's slightly less concerned about on the show. Much like on Netflix though, he finds his attraction to Penelope slowly growing throughout the book and spends much of his time marveling at just how kind, funny and stunning Pen is—all qualities he's shocked that he and the rest of the ton never noticed before. In both the book and the show, emotions really come to a head for Colin and Penelope when she accidentally on purpose reads his travel diaries.

Book Pen was visiting the Bridgertons because she's still best friends with Eloise Bridgerton Claudia Jessie , while show Pen was at their house in episode two for private flirting lessons with Colin. In both versions, Colin cuts his hand, although in the book it's on a letter opener and in the show it's because of a broken candle holder. Regardless, it's as she is wrapping his hand that Colin really notices Penelope.

For Polin, in the book and show, their first kiss comes when Penelope directly asks him to lock lips, telling him she'll live her life having never been kissed if he doesn't do it. On our TV screens, the moment occurs at the end of episode two, just after it's been revealed to all of the ton that Penelope asked for Colin's help in finding a suitor. In the book, the kiss occurs in the Featherington drawing room when Colin visits Penelope to express his distress over the fact that he thinks his sister Eloise is Lady Whistledown voiced by Julie Andrews.

Netflix decided to make the kiss and proposal happen in the Featherington carriage at the end of episode four, just after Colin has ruined Penelope's chances with Lord Debling Sam Phillips.
