The Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset. The; you just got one reaction, No? Even if you weren’t like charmed by Bridgerton Season 1 like, well, in the rest of the known world, you still know who Simon is and you probably fell in love with the man who brought him to life on screen, Régé-Jean Page. Of course, the fans flocked Bridgerton Season 2 (which was one of many in 2022 television previews ), but many of them missed seeing the Duke of Page joking, wooing, marrying and enjoy the day with Taylor Swift songs . should also Bridgerton rephrase Simon before season 3? Page himself has an opinion on this.
What did Régé-Jean Page say about Simon Basset’s redesign in Bridgerton’s third season?
Although I’m sure everyone who attended Bridgerton Season 1 was to be well received, I bet few people expected Regency’s romantic adaptation to become the hit it was when it debuted. Clearly, much of the excitement surrounding the sexy series was due to Régé-Jean Page’s work as Simon, so when it has been revealed that the Emmy nominee will not be returning , the fans almost revolted. When asked recently Variety Yes Bridgerton should simply rephrase Simon to bring the Duke back for fans, Page said:
They are free to do what they want. [Laughs]. shonda [Rhimes] and I had a wonderful conversation at the end of the first season. We were so happy with how we managed to land on that one. I’m still proud of how well we landed on that one.
ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. Calm down friends! Listen, what Page said might sound a little angry in the press, but if you watch the interview video, you’ll see that her laugh at the end of her answer is that those behind Bridgerton he can do whatever he wants with his old character seems like a genuine and relaxed attitude of “I’m not involved, so it’s not up to me”. After all, Page was nothing but enthusiastic about his time Bridgerton .
As Page noted, one of the reasons fans love her character so much is how good the show is with her story. Simon has gone from a libertine determined not to bear his family name, to a good friend of Daphne Bridgerton, to a loving husband and father, all without his development seeming rushed or tense. But Page thinks the good job they did in developing the Duke may have blinded some fans to his character, you know, character:
We have done so well in this arc of redemption that people forget that Simon was pretty awful. He was the best example of a Regency son of a bitch we’d ever met. And so, because we came full circle so well, why we made that landing, you have this great feeling. You have to be really brave to put an end to such stories.
I love what Régé-Jean Page did as Simon Bridgerton Season 1 as much as the next fan, but it really makes a good point. Fans love him as much as the character to see him appear to say a line or two (Yes Bridgerton The producers of could even persuade Page to become a guest star. ) would be a disappointment and any new actor in the role would likely face the wrath of many fans and have no real chance to prove themselves.
The best you can do is leaves Simon with his happy ending so we can all go on see Anthony and Kate enjoying married life (and maybe a baby or two), while Bridgerton Season 3 finally brings us the The steaming love story of Penelope Featherington and Colin Bridgerton in two seasons .
