Bridgerton showrunner Jess Brownell has explained how a tiny change to THAT infamous carriage scene actually ended up making it even better – as surely proven by the fact it’s all anyone can talk about…
Fans were instantly hooked after the first part of the long-awaited third season dropped earlier this month, with a huge cliffhanger leaving people desperate for more.
This season focuses on friends-turned-lovers Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington, played by Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan.
And one scene that’s had feathers particularly ruffled is, of course, that raunchy moment in the carriage when Polin finally cemented their relationship physically.
After confessing their feelings to one another, things heated up in the back their carriage – with many noticing why Colin avoided using two of his fingers to pull Pen’s dress sleeve up.
According to Brownell, there are actually a few differences in the scene compared to the original book.

“The carriage scene in the book functions a little differently,” she explained to Variety.
“It’s the moment where Colin realizes that Penelope is Lady Whistledown, but to pay homage to that scene, we still have it functioning as a moment where Colin starts seeing Penelope differently — or at least finally announces that he is starting to see her differently.
“It’s also a big moment for Colin, as someone who has tried to be this cool guy who’s aloof and a man of few words.
“He’s been feeling the pressure of holding all that in all this season, and suddenly it all comes tumbling out in that carriage scene.”
And Brownell said there was also one big change they made to the scene itself.

“We had initially imagined it as Pen and Colin sitting side-by-side, so they were having this intimate conversation,” she continued.
“That creates a nice visual for a man who ignored this girl romantically for two seasons, to then have to be begging for her.”
It’s fair to say the change paid off, with many fans gushing about the scene on Twitter.
One wrote: “The bad boy archetype is so common that people can’t imagine some find a down bad and desperate man sexier. Colin Bridgerton was on his knees, tears in his eyes, begging for a chance. That to me is the sexiest thing a man can do.”
Another agreed: “Colin Bridgerton literally got on his knees to confess his feelings to Penelope… this man is starting to learn what true love really is and has never quite understood it until he started spending more time with his best friend. He loves her so much.”
