Jessica Madsen spills the beans about her character Cressida Cowper in the Second Part

Jessica is shown as mean and a bully in Bridgerton. However, in the third season, the makers offered a peek into her character. In the same interview, the actress teased the audience that there are "twists and turns" ahead for her character. She said the mask is falling off Cressida and she is becoming a human being. "No, we're getting to see her human side and why she is the way she is. And yeah, that every mean girl has something beneath her. If we quote, "mean girl" as everyone likes to call her," she added.
