As Simon was born, his father waited outside, only concerned with whether or not he would have an heir. ![]() For the book character, see Simon Basset Simon Basset is a mysterious young suitor who has returned to England to settle his fathers affairs and has no interest in finding a wife. Nevertheless, the books can offer an insight into Simon’s future. This page is about the Netflix character. It’s unlikely that Bridgerton will stray from the books to include more of Regé-Jean Page’s Simon in the future, especially after the news of him not reprising the role.

Simon finally appeared in Quinn’s fourth Bridgerton novel, Romancing Mister Bridgerton. While Simon’s almost entirely absent from the latter four Bridgerton novels, he was again mentioned in An Offer from a Gentleman as part of a playful exchange between Daphne and Benedict. Benedict declared he knew what Daphne’s announcement would have been about, having already guessed they were to announce they were expecting another child. That game is instrumental in introducing one half of the second book’s main couple, Anthony’s love interest Kate, to the rest of the Bridgerton siblings. And just like it was Simon’s first time at Pall Mall, the same was true for Kate. In it, Simon is described as still besotted with his wife Daphne, and he could be seen trying his hand at the Bridgerton family game of Pall Mall for the first time. Simon reappears in Julia Quinn’s second Bridgerton novel, The Viscount Who Loved Me, which focuses on the firstborn Anthony (Jonathan Bailey), and on which Bridgerton season 2 is based. Bridgerton season 1 ended with Daphne and Simon happily married with a child and the Bridgerton. Daphne, as the eldest Bridgerton daughter, was the first to lead the cast in season 1 as her turbulent relationship with Simon Basset was explored. Anthony needs his own character arc, and Simon's being away will help this aspect of the narrative move forward. Daphne will not be appearing in Bridgerton season 3, but the Netflix show will survive her absence. Anthony is now the main character of Bridgerton season 2. As much as Simon will be missed by the show's audience, his absence is for the best. Simon knows he will love his son no matter what, just as he does his three. Rather, when Daphne returns to the Bridgerton home to help her family during their current scandal, she mentions that Simon is at home taking care of their newborn and that they're still very much in love. Four years later, Daphne gives birth to their fourth child and first son, David. ![]() A recap of ‘Shock and Delight,’ episode 2 of season 1 of Bridgerton on Netflix, the Shondaland series based on. That doesn't mean Simon is dead or that something drastic has befallen the character. Make way for Simon Bassett, Duke of Hastings, and his metric ton of daddy issues. It then cuts to Violet Bridgerton playing with not one, but two, children.Bridgerton season 2 explains that Simon Bassett is taking care of his own affairs and at home with his and Daphne's baby. Regé-Jean Page only agreed to appear in Bridgerton season 1, as he wanted to have enough time to devote to other projects, so the Duke of Hastings has been written off the show and exists off-screen only. In episode two "Honeymoon Bliss" around the nine minute mark we see a montage scene with Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews) speaking and Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) looking at an old house. It's in one of these scenes that many Bridgerton fans think they've found a slight spoiler for the upcoming Bridgerton season three. The series also has a number of scenes in the current Bridgerton timeline too, with Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) trying to matchmake her children and Violet (Ruth Gemmell) contemplating potential romances. The Bridgerton spin-off series tells the story of Queen Charlotte (India Amarteifio) and King George's (Corey Mylchreest) love story, as well as giving us insight into the earlier lives of Lady Danbury (Arsema Thomas) and Violet Bridgerton (Connie Jenkins-Greig). After months of anticipation Queen Charlotte finally arrived on Netflix yesterday (4th May), and it's safe to say we are fully obsessed. ![]()
