The Bridgerton community has been abuzz these past few weeks after season four<\/a> dropped, two years after season three’s release.<\/p>\n

This time around, the renowned period drama tracks the relationship between the second-oldest son, Benedict Bridgerton, and lady’s maid, Sophie Baek.<\/p>\n

After watching all eight episodes, many fans have caught themselves reminiscing on seasons past… and in particular, season one, released those many moons ago in 2020.<\/p>\n

The first instalment of the franchise saw the love story between Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and Simon Basset (Reg\u00e9-Jean Page) unfold.<\/p>\n

After a turbulent start to their relationship, the couple wed and went on to have a baby boy, but that’s actually all we know.<\/p>\n

You see, Reg\u00e9 never appeared in the franchise again, missing out on seasons two, three, and four, while Phoebe briefly appeared in season two, which tracked the love story between Anthony Bridgerton and Kate Sharma.<\/p>\n

We’re halfway through Bridgerton now, there are four more seasons to come; so will Phoebe and Reg\u00e9-Jean ever return to the ‘Ton? <\/p>\n

In an interview with\u00a0PEOPLE<\/a>, showrunner Jess Brownell confirmed that she ‘would love to one day have all of the leads come back’.<\/p>\n

‘I think it would be really meaningful, especially when I think forward to Hyacinth and Gregory\u2019s story,’ she said, referring to the two youngest Bridgerton siblings.<\/p>\n

‘Daphne and Anthony, and their partners, are such paternal\/maternal figures for those younger kids. So I would be very interested in trying to get some of those previous leads back for the later run of the show,’ she continued.<\/p>\n

Jess later noted: ‘I haven\u2019t spoken to Reg\u00e9 about that. The conversations haven\u2019t happened, but the ideas are there.’<\/p>\n

Now, speaking to Collider, Phoebe shared that she’s actually never been asked to reprise her role as Daphne.<\/p>\n

‘When the first season came out, they didn’t know what they needed to put in play. We were the ones that got away, in a certain way,’ she said. ‘I can only speak for myself, I would always come back if I were asked.<\/p>\n

‘I have not received a call. When I get that call, I will be there if I can.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bridgerton community has been abuzz these past few weeks after season four dropped, two years after season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":395119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[93,61,60,282],"class_list":{"0":"post-395118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-ie","10":"tag-ireland","11":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=395118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/395118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/395119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=395118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=395118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=395118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
