“I couldn’t have done that story line with her being an idiot”
Photo: Jeff Spicer/Getty Images Lady Featherington hits the Bridgerton trifecta in season two, earning viewers’ fear, respect, and ridicule — often all three in the span of a single scene. To be fair, she’s in rough shape; widowed at the end of season one when her knucklehead of a husband is murdered for his gambling debts, she seems resigned to pawning candlesticks and eating a potato-only diet to keep the household afloat for her three unmarried daughters.
Yes, I’m of that thought as well. I wouldn’t have gone along with that story line if she had been made to be foolish at the end. It was important to me that she was ultimately in control and came out on top. I couldn’t have done that story line with her being an idiot.I didn’t have to. I was very protective of Portia all along. When I realized I was going to be given a “boyfriend” — not a very good one — I did not want her portrayed as an old fool. I vocalized that at the beginning.
Have you given much thought to her backstory or how she became the woman she is? I never read the books, so I’m asking this totally blind. It was such a reaffirmation for me, personally. It was her moment of poetic justice and it came from a really deep place for her. And a great deal of sadness. I was so tempted every time I had to say it to instead go, I am a motherfucker! [Laughs.] That’s basically what was fueling the whole speech: You fucked with me, and I’m going to fuck with you now. That was the music playing underneath the whole scene for me.It was very late, around 4 a.m.
She’s so street-smart. The writers seem to enjoy putting Portia in these difficult scenarios, and I hope they continue to do that and there’s never a resolution for her. You know what I also find interesting? She’s uneducated and has led an incredibly sheltered life. If she had been educated and out in the world, it would be a different scenario. She manages to survive even within that kind of society, which is quite unusual.
