Did anyone else catch Rege-Jean Page on SNL this weekend? The clips I've seen were actually pretty funny AND (as if he weren't hot enough already) he can sing!

He was committed and didn't have to read cue cards! There's a bridgerton themed "intamacy" sketch. The Driver's Liscence one was my fav.

No clue why.

Netflix just announced he won't play Simon anymore. No clue why. I'm not totally surprise. Each season focuses on new characters, so season 2 is Anthony's season. There wouldn't be much for him to do besides hang out in the background.

I wonder if they would be bring him back for cameo type appearances, because he does pop up occasionally in the books, but in a very minor way. Though the Pall Mall scene in Book 2 would be remiss without him.

The thing I don't get is that Simon is Anthony's closest and oldest friend... So why write him out of the story of Anthony finding love? I haven't read the books, but I understand that the Netflix series has a lot in it that the books didn't. So why write out Simon?
Unless there was BTS drama with the Anthony actor wanting the spotlight while he knew the world was drooling over Rege?

I heard that they asked the actor to come back for cameos and he declined.

I’m seeing a lot of people saying they won’t watch the show now, but it doesn’t change much for me. In the books, Anthony and Simon are very similar characters. Stoic dudes who have decided they “can never love!” For silly, dramatic reasons. So I assume that is why they changed Anthony’s character, but then they only made him even more annoying (Siena plot and driving away Daphne’s suitors plot). Douchey guy redemption is a common enough trope, I have faith Shonda can do it 😁

People are freaking out about Rege leaving and swear they’re done with the show. It’s weird to me, but I guess this is all people who haven’t read the books. Also, watch this

Also, watch this heroes and heroines changing from book to book is so common in romance series that I would have actually been more head tilty if they had tried to drag out daphne and simon’s story further.

Ok, now I get it. People who aren’t coming to this show from a romance novel series background might be expecting it to be a more traditional ensemble cast structure, like Grey’s Anatomy. Not the romance novel style happily ever after when they get together and that’s it, no conflict forever and ever 😂 Couples who have already gotten together continue to exist purely to look at each other knowingly when you think you HATE the person you really LOVE, and give advice like “you’ll know, don’t worry” about marriage.

But...no.more this?? Tragic, but if they want us to fall in love with Anthony of all people they can’t have Regé licking spoons in the background! I always found the pall mall scenes a bit forced and “look what a cute family we are with our charming traditions!”, but I know a lot of people love them. We will see if they include them at all.

I haven’t read the books but since the brothers are just as good looking I’ll take it! 😂

Also, without knowing how quarantining will look in the future, would it be worth it? Especially if he's only in a few scenes here, or there? He's probably being offered roles all over the place, and having to take 3+ weeks away just for potential quarantining, and then shooting, could mean he'd lose some of those opportunities.

I had read that it’s uncommon for an actor to agree to a supporting role in a series where they were the lead because of compensation and other such issues. Much as I would love to see him in season 2, I don’t fault him for wanting to strike while the iron is hot for him and take the best roles he can. Actor’s careers can be so fickle, for lack of a better word.

Actor’s careers can be so fickle, for lack of a better word. Yeah, I do see this too. He's been acting for his whole life (basically), and Bridgerton is what blew him up to international fame. But he's such a multi dimensional person and actor, I can see him being eager to avoid being type cast and having his career end with being Simon forever.

I'll say that while I understand the reasoning to not go back I do really appreciate it when actors show up for cameos even though they've blown up. Also rarely are actors so defined by a role that even seeing him for a few 5 minute scenes next season would keep people from accepting him in other roles.
It's fine I'm not going to stop watching the show as I understand each season will feature another couple and while I liked him he didn't make the show for me. But they easily could have filmed all his scenes for next season in an afternoon and I'm not sure it was really in his best interest to decline. But I'm very excited for the new characters next season.

I think he might make a surprise appearance but I don’t think he’ll be a regular anymore. Which is sad because I would have love to see him with his child(ren).

I just read an article that said he was offered 50k per episode to come in for some small appearances which he declined. My guess is similar to what was surmised above that the for the trouble it’s not worth it. I also read a rumor that he’s hoping to be cast in a 007 movie 🤷🏻♀️
