“Bridgerton” Season 3 introduced viewers to a newfound friendship between Eloise and Cressida — a pairing that came as a surprise even to stars Claudia Jessie and Jessica Madsen.

“We definitely didn’t expect it when Jess [Brownell] told us about it,” Jessie told TheWrap. “We’ve known each other for a long time, since 2019 … and obviously we see each other on set, but we’d never had scenes together, unless Eloise was saying that she’d rather die than be friends with [Cressida].”

Cressida has been a fierce rival of the Bridgerton sisters since Season 1, when she competed with Daphne (Phoebe Dynevor) for the affections of Prince Friedrich and later snidely indicated she had seen Daphne and Simon’s scandalous dalliance in the garden.
