She played an important role in Colin’s book.
As more of the Bridgerton siblings get married and venture out on their own, they may appear less on the beloved Netflix series. In Kate and Anthony’s case, that means a limited appearance in Season 3. As Jonathan Bailey put it to Bustle last year, the “overwhelming love” of the Bridgerton family is a treat to return to. “It’s a really lovely thing to be able to go away and to come back,” he said. “We’re a tribe.”
However, don’t expect to see Season 1 couple Daphne and Simon anytime soon. Regé-Jean Page opted out of returning for Season 2, and while Phoebe Dynevor appeared that year, she won’t be back to witness Colin and Penelope’s love story firsthand.
So, what happened to Daphne on Bridgerton? While she is still mentioned by her loved ones throughout Season 3, she doesn’t actually appear on-screen.
