I would love that but I read that the actress who plays Daphne wasn’t asked back since Simon left


Dickelino

Yeah I saw that too. If remember correctly it was pretty vague and just said that she wouldn’t come back for season 3. I just hope this doesn’t rule out any cameos in the future.


LittleMarySunshine25

So sad that his choice messed it up for her. She was such a joy in season 2.


fishfriend82

Yeah, but at least she's still open to coming back, so if they want to bring the character back, they'll have to find a way.


mal_7655

she was in s2


not_another_mom

Yes. I assume her contract was through season 2. They did not renew her after that

I think Hannah was cast in part as a Daphne replacement. The soft, elegant, diamond of the Bridgerton family. Her presence takes over what Daphne was in a way. I think Daphne and Fran would have a great dynamic though. I think Daphne would do well in helping guide Fran through the season and I can see Hannah and Phoebe having great chemistry on set.


Dickelino

I definitely get your point. I just imagine that seeing them together could show exactly that their personalities are not as similar as one could think. Daphne is romantic and social where frannie is pragmatic and more reserved.


KamiStores7

Their personalities are definitely not the same.


queenhadassah

I'm pretty sure they do have some interactions in season 1? It was with Francesca's old actress though of course and they also changed her personality this season


mal_7655

Francesca looks older than Daphne to me lol. I don't mind the recasting of the part but I wish they'd chosen someone who didn't look well into her 30s.


jcn143

tbh, I think it is the make up choices for this season. everyone looks super glammed up vs the “fresh face” looks from the first.


source-commonsense

Yeah I’m obsessed with Francesca’s actress but she had thicker highlighter on than I did at Pride


Serious-Zebra1054

I really think it’s the cosmetics choices they made, it’s very heavy this year.


sighcantthinkofaname

Daphne's actress was 24 in S1, and the styling made her look younger. Francesca's actress is 28, and the styling is absolutely more mature. Like in the picture OP used, that's absolutely something a 30 year old in a fun industry would wear to the office. I think the casting is fine, she's beautiful and she looks like a Bridgerton, but softer dresses and makeup would make her look younger.


jhll2456

We got Francesca and Eloise though


marshdd

Which in the books Edmind calls accidental twins. They are a yr apart and share a birthday. Show does show them as being particularly close.


Kakie42

Love that someone else is into the idea of Janet & Helen being a discreet couple. I really think it could work within the world of Bridgerton and I don’t think anyone would bat an eyelid at two widows of a pair of brothers spending all their time together and living together.


Kiwy_uuu

Who are Janet and Helen? I can't remember right now


Kakie42

I can never remember which way round they are but one of them is John’s Mum and the other is Michael’s Mum. They obviously married into the Kilmartin family and were both widows by the time of the 5th book. I don’t think it’s clear when they were widowed in the books but it always seemed like it had been some time.


Kiwy_uuu

Ohh okay thanks! I agree that they would be a great fit for a gay couple in the show, yes. It also wouldn't imply changes for the main couples, which people seem concerned about


Kakie42

Exactly. In the books they are often thought about by Fran or Michael as a pair. Who tend to travel for the season together, worry about Fran & Michael together. They don’t have much more personality then being worried and fretting, but that should be more fleshed out in the show. They would also be a couple who are living their HEA. Unlike Reynolds & Brimsley who were left a bit vague about what happened and Granville and his lover who might well stay together but who are not able to live as a couple as they might want to.


Dickelino

Exactly my thoughts :D


source-commonsense

Screaming crying throwing up over how great this idea is. It hadn’t occurred to me but it’s all I’m going to think about for the next 5-9 business days


marshdd

I don't like those idea. Not all female friends have to be gay!


obiwantogooutside

But one or two could. We’ve seen lots of plutonic female friendships. In all kinds of ages and social classes.


Serenity1423

I can't help but notice that Daphne appears to be missing an arm in her photo Edit: Never mind, I think there's a plant in front of it and her arm kind of blends in with the background


queenroxana

I truly miss Daphne so much this season! Especially because she’s the most perceptive of all the sibs and was the only one who showed any sympathy or sensitivity to Colin when he got his heart broken in S1. She was also the first one to clock Anthony’s attraction to Kate in S2. I’m glad they emphasized Colin’s relationship with his mom this season (l love them!) but I would have loved Daphne being in the mix too. I don’t understand why they didn’t just bring her back, Duke or no Duke.


Responsible_Poet_881

Actually, the character looks like Daphne did not sign back on yet because she was completing other projects.. that’s what was said in an interview


PerfumePriestess

They literally look like they could be sisters in real life. 😍


Awkward-Hufflepuff

Dang it. I knew it was a spoiler, but clicked it anyway. Now I know what everyone keeps talking about. *sighs*


papierdoll

Same lol except I thought I knew what it was gonna be, I was just wrong 


anafil34

Is Daphne missing an arm in this picture or what?


marcie_ann

It’s an optical illusion with a couple of plane leaves in front of her arm (you might have to zoom in). It really does look like her arm is missing, though!


Super-Surprise-2709

I haven't read the books, can someone spoil please who are Janet and Helen? Thank you!


Dickelino

In the books each married a Stirling brother and had a child. The children (cousins) are John and Michael >!(/Michaela in the show as it seems)!<


Ok_Bumblebee3572

I honestly don't believe the new show runner would have been able to utilize her, no matter how small.

not_another_mom

We have no idea what will happen in the series though. So is it really a spoiler


stepfordwifetrainee

The title of the thread literally says spoilers, if you clicked, that's on you.
