‘Bridgerton’: How Eloise Plays a Major Role in Benedict’s Love Story

Bridgerton Season 4 is nearly here, and as we prepare for the love story between Benedict (Luke Thompson) and Sophie (Yerin Ha), new details surrounding their onscreen romance are emerging, particularly who will play a major role in it.

As fans have observed over the years, Benedict is certainly closest to his younger sister, Eloise (Claudia Jessie), and it’s especially apparent in their candid late-night chats on the swings outside their home. Heading into Season 4, we’d expect the siblings to continue their close bond, but it seems that Eloise will have an active role in Benedict’s arc.

Based on Julia Quinn’s novel An Offer From a Gentleman, Season 4 sees Benedict meet the Lady in Silver at his mother’s masquerade ball, but when the clock strikes midnight, he loses track of his dream woman. In the book, he searches for this Lady in Silver for years without luck, and when he meets a maid named Sophie, he’s unaware that she’s the girl he’s been looking for.
