During an exclusive interview with E! News, Dodd recounted her experiences with some of the show’s more risqué material. A standout moment involved Francesca discussing sensitive topics, including orgasms, with family members.
“The table read for some of those scenes had me red in the cheeks—so embarrassed,” she admitted. Dodd experienced significant secondhand embarrassment while navigating these uncomfortable dialogues with her on-screen family.
The Fun in Awkwardness
Despite the awkward nature of some scenes, Dodd found the writing to be clever and entertaining. She described the experience of portraying Francesca’s innocence in these conversations as “so much fun.” The actress anticipated the humor in Francesca’s interactions with her mother, Violet Bridgerton, played by Ruth Gemmell, and her sister-in-law, Penelope, portrayed by Nicola Coughlan.
