Gossip Girl And Bridgerton’s Irrefutable Similarities: XOXO Lady Whistledown
Bridgerton meets Gossip Girl- But make it a Period Piece Drama.
The undeniable comparison between both shows, aside from them being surrounded by DRAMA, is the narrative voice-overs. In both series, the secret keeper is shielded by anonymity, and to further this is approach, they are voiced by people outside of the original casting. Kristen Bell did what she had to do narrating Gossip Girl, and Shondaland Royalty , Julia Andrews brought pleasure in voicing Lady Whistledown. Everyone’s secrets at the mercy of one mysterious person, is exactly what makes these shows riveting.
Blaire Wardoff and Chuck Bass are definitely on the same frequency as Daphne Bridgerton and Simon Basset . Both relationship dynamics are both tumultuous yet majestic.
Chuck and Simon are eligible bachelors who share a hidden sensibility, due to the faults and trauma of their upbringing. On the surface level, they are hard body to avoid succumbing to vulnerability but ever so gentle to the women in their lives.
Blaire and Daphne are high society women, with a keenness about them that will either draw you in, or make you side eye them. Both are often overlooked due to their demure, but use this modest assumption to be meticulously calculated.
Oh Rebel! Aside from the unidentified narrator, these two had some secrets on them. Both have a magnetic charisma, that makes people interested in their story, yet they can be very deceptive.

Marina Thompson, the niece of Featheringtons, is riveting in beauty, but inside possesses a scandal that will make all of society think different of her.
Dan Humphrey and Anthony Bridgeton are older brothers, who take on the responsibility of being the “family protector”. Both have temperaments that borderlines solicitousness and overanalyzing frustrations. But regardless, at the core, it is easy to see that they are well intended and selfless.
Jenny Humphrey and Penelope Featherington , two girls, who feel slighted by society and their family, often seek the approval or even a sense of belonging. This desire makes them both hyper emotional and react hasty to situations that often do not involve them.
