SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary With Bridgerton season 3 focusing on Colin and Penelope’s romance, Eloise unmistakably played a big role, leading to her story developing differently in the show from Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton books.
What Happens To Eloise In The Bridgerton Books Eloise's Story In Season 3 Diverges Completely From Romancing Mr. Bridgerton's Close Eloise discovering Penelope’s Whistledown secret before everyone else in Bridgerton season 2 guaranteed her story would have been a relatively clean slate in season 3, only marginally mirroring her journey in Colin and Penelope’s book, Romancing Mr. Bridgerton.
The secrecy of Eloise and Phillip’s year-long epistolary exchange in Romancing Mr. Bridgerton prompted Eloise’s most reckless choice, to run away to Gloucestershire in To Sir Phillip, With Love to figure out for herself if Phillip could be a potential companion and husband.
Oliver and Amanda struggled with the grief of losing Marina like Phillip, but his absence made it worse, prompting a cycle of the twins acting out to get Phillip’s attention, which would get their governess or teacher to leave, eventually leading to Phillip punishing them. Eloise found herself propelled into the Cranes’ problems in To Sir Phillip, With Love, forcing her into a maternal role before she realized she wanted a romantic relationship with Phillip.
Eloise’s path in Bridgerton season 3 and the story’s focus on finding her purpose puts her farther away from her book story.
