Parade reports that Colin Bridgerton, unaware that Penelope is Lady Whistledown, vows to ruin the gossip columnist if he ever discovers her identity.
In the latest season, Colin remains clueless, despite Lady Whistledown’s commentary on his changed demeanor.
However, he unknowingly tells Penelope herself that they will celebrate when Lady Whistledown is exposed.
Although Colin doesn’t figure it out in the first half of the season, according to Julia Quinn’s book, he eventually does learn the truth.
In a departure from the book, the show delays this revelation, building suspense for fans. In the novel, Colin finds out when he catches Penelope leaving a note as Lady Whistledown.
This twist doesn’t disrupt their relationship but sparks Colin’s jealousy over Penelope’s success.
The show’s divergence from the book promises an exciting storyline for viewers.
