Kohlan's candid confession: "This is not bravery"

The actress talked about her struggle with prejudices arising from her appearance. Nicola noted that she often hears questions about her appearance during promotional tours of the series. She expressed her outrage at being called a "plus-size heroine" just because of her shape.

"Don't call me brave. I just have nice breasts and I'm showing them off. It's not brave. I'm smaller than the average woman in the UK and I'm considered a 'plus-size heroine', " Cochlan said.

Changes in the plot: a love story in a new way

Regarding the series "Bridgertons", Nicola said that Netflix decided to change the chronology of events, moving the story of her character and Colin Bridgerton to an earlier season. This decision came as a surprise to fans, but even bigger innovations await them.

"We can't control those decisions. Also, there will be a gay couple in the show. I know not everyone will like that. But our show covers different types of love stories. And as for Benedict, our bisexual hero, we're excited of this line!" Kohlan shared.
