I love how she talked about the age difference between Penelope and herself, and how she tackled that and the importance of approaching it in a positive way instead of a patronizing way. Love her as an actress and a human being! 💛

I've heard many actors before refer to acting as a craft, but never really understood it till this day. Level of effort, detail and emotional intelligence that Nicola poured in Pen's character is exceptional! ❤️😍👏🏻

I love how much Nicola loves Penelope -- and how much she just gets Penelope. I am so excited to see Nicola playing other characters because I'm super sure she'd be as serious about them as she has been with Penelope.

I really like actors who know the characters they play very well because you can see how they look at that character. Even details such as the way of speaking, the voice and every detail that sometimes goes unnoticed by those watching.For me it is very fascinating😍

It was so interesting to hear about the whole process. It's one of the best videos about Bridgerton I've seen here. I could listen to Nicola for hours, she is so engaging. You can feel the love she has for her job and for the character she plays as she speaks. I love how she treats Penelope with respect as she works on understanding the character and her psyche. You can feel the dedication and the talent. She is such a beautiful person in and out. Nicolas Coughlan is one of the rare celebrities I wish I could get to know in real life.
