The ton is buzzing with the return of "Bridgerton," but a familiar face is noticeably absent from the whirlwind of balls and romantic intrigues. Daphne Bridgerton, the diamond of Season 1, is nowhere to be found, leaving fans both curious and a tad heartbroken.
Daphne's passionate romance with the Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset, captivated audiences worldwide and established "Bridgerton" as a global phenomenon. Their tumultuous courtship, sizzling chemistry, and eventual happily-ever-after had viewers swooning.
Season 2 saw Daphne making brief appearances, offering sisterly advice and a shoulder to cry on as her brother Anthony navigated the treacherous waters of love.
However, with actor Regé-Jean Page's departure after Season 1, Daphne's storyline naturally shifted to the sidelines.
Season 3 subtly addresses Daphne's absence during a garden party exchange between Eloise Bridgerton and Cressida Cowper. Eloise mentions spending time "in the country" at her sister's estate, heavily implying Daphne's residence at Clyvedon Castle.
Clyvedon, the grand estate where Daphne and Simon honeymooned, seems to be the perfect sanctuary for the now-married couple and their young son, Augie, offering a peaceful respite from the pressures of London society.
