Phoebe Dynevor, the actress who portrays Daphne Bridgerton in the popular Netflix series "Bridgerton," has finally opened up about the departure of her co-star Regé-Jean Page. In a recent interview with E! News, Dynevor discussed her thoughts on Page's exit from the show.

The news of Page's departure came as a shock to many "Bridgerton" fans. Page, who played the dashing Duke of Hastings, quickly became a fan favorite and gained immense popularity for his portrayal of the character. However, it was announced earlier this year that Page would not be returning for the show's second season.

In her interview, Dynevor expressed her support for Page's decision to move on from "Bridgerton.

" She stated, "I had a bit of a heads up, so I knew. But yeah, I guess it's a spanner. But again, the show centers around the Bridgertons and there are eight books. And I think maybe the fans of the books were more aware of that happening than the fans of the show. I think that's the thing."

Dynevor's statement suggests that while the news may have come as a surprise to some viewers, those familiar with the book series by Julia Quinn on which the show is based were aware that the focus of the story would shift to different characters with each book.

Furthermore, Dynevor reassured fans that although Page's character will no longer be a part of the series, the show will continue to captivate audiences with its intriguing storylines and engaging new characters. She expressed her excitement for the upcoming second season and the introduction of new love interests for Daphne Bridgerton.

Dynevor also spoke about the strong bond she formed with Page while working on the show. She described their connection as "special" and praised his incredible talent as an actor. "I think it was hard for all of us because we were such a close-knit group and we'd just spent so much time together," she shared.

Despite the departure of one of its main stars, "Bridgerton" remains immensely popular and has garnered a massive following since its release on Netflix in December 2020. The show has been praised for its diverse cast and addicting storyline, which follows the lives and romantic escapades of the high-society Bridgerton family in nineteenth-century England.

While fans may miss Regé-Jean Page's charismatic portrayal of the Duke of Hastings, Phoebe Dynevor's comments serve as a reminder that "Bridgerton" will continue to offer an enthralling viewing experience with its upcoming second season.
