I think the way the producers did this story (through Littlefinger) made a lot more sense and helped refine his character as a gossip queen/instigator (which I'm guessing is the role he takes more of as the story goes on).

It wasn't a sudden "bare his soul" moment. It makes sense in the context it was set, which is to scare and disgust her (to break down her polite courtly armor she wears) and show his disdain for "knights." I guess it is just to deep for a tv show, but it sad to see just disappear.
