However, she revealed that things are looking up for Penelope: “It is eight months filming for a season, it changes so much, it is a very action packed season.”
“I got to see some last night and I was bouncing off the walls with excitement, it is brilliant, it is written brilliantly. I’m so proud of the cast and crew, but it is a special one.”
In the final episode of season two, Penelope heard Colin’s snide comments to the other gentleman about her and has decided to finally give up one her long unrequited feelings for him.
Penelope has decided to take a husband during the third season.
On the other hand, Colin returns but is left disheartened to find his close pal Penelope, who always appreciates him, is giving him the cold shoulder.
