[@Raquel6470]

If you read the Bridgerton Books you’d know they move on to the next romance. He wasn’t meant to be in the next season

[@rysie_25]

Well this makes his rant look totally invalid lmao but even his personal reasons are valid branching out in that industry is necessary congratulations to him

[@leafydiva]

Yeah, but some of the actors still appeared in the next season. He never even made a cameo appearance like Daphny did. It feels like something happened behind the scenes that we just arent privy to. I wonder if he made Shonda mad and she gave him the axe. 😆

[@jaeshasway]

He chose not to return. This video isn’t factual. They were all going to making appearances here and there. Nothing was guaranteed which is probably the real reason he stepped away. He has a plethora of things going on. They’ve strayed away from the books. They’re in Shandaland now.

[@GaelinW]

@@leafydiva Or, he never made a cameo because his (contractually obligated) filming schedule and that of season 2 conflicted and wouldn't allow for him to. That said, it's perfectly all right for an actor to feel like acting is a job. And once you completed a role - even a "break out role - that job is over and so you keep moving/looking forward and not back. How many of us would go back to a job/company that we've moved on from?

[@brandong298]

Women were going crazy over him they’d have been willing to keep him.

[@shaneishawarren6151]

Logical, we understand not wanted to be stuck in just one role but it's sooooooo sad that we won't ever see the duke again. You will be missed Simon.

[@patsythaliaharrigan8518]

I too share ur sentiment

[@garypierce7380]

He was very good in that role....kept the chambermaids on their toes with all that squirting around.

[@kimberlyjoseph1247]

Bridgerton will never be the same without him and Daphne... So far it's my favorite ...

[@YesIlikebananasSo]

If you read the book series you know that it was never meant to solely focus on him and daphne, it’s meant to run through different members of the family

[@patienceisaiah6330]

Me too

[@kimberly-marie-burgur]

I know

[@mojganrahimi3071]

I agree

[@Mera2300]

He was my #1 favorite male character on the show too. I MISS HIM LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢 WHY REGE?! WHY!!!!

[@laughtoday-hk6rg]

It would have made "series" sense for him to have been in S2 to interact a little and help his long standing best friend who was looking for a wife. The banter between the two of them would have been super and so on point, like the male version of what Daphne did.

[@janetclaireSays]

I think his character would have stolen the spotlight though.

[@YogaBlissDance]

Totally agree, cameos for each couple as they shift to background. Otherwise it's odd- her husband is basically missing.

[@abbyefalkner]

You really spent 8 minutes rephrasing one statement…

[@ifeomaefuribe4990]

Same thing I thought 😂

[@aalezaibi113]

You just saved me 6 minutes

[@spiritofanu3112]

I still wish he would return for a few cameos. He was magic that first season. Honestly, I have not seen a lot of him on the screen since. What has he been doing? No disrespect. Perhaps I have just missed him.

[@filmadcamp1512]

You are correct.He really hasn't done much since.

[@ataye1]

One commercial.

[@Shaikah420]

It’s fair & its a wise decision for his career & every book is a new story 😅

[@cleodmr1]

In an interview after season one. He said he'd only signed on for one season to begin with. He had no intention of returning. He felt he'd "stuck the landing" with season one. He sure did.

[@ask4theupgrade359]

His breakout role was in the 2016 remake of “ROOTS” - where he portrayed “Chicken George”, a huge role that led to the - 2018-2019 TV series “For The People” (CANCELLED after 2 seasons) and then - 2020 “Bridgerton”, another breakout role, but NOT his first. He didn’t want to tie himself down to another TV role, as he felt he paid his dues and preferred going from project to project, as movie stardom was what he was seeking and is currently achieving in “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” (2023)

[@aquanettajohnson52]

Thank you for the information on him. I didn't read the books on Bridgerton as Many viewers haven't but Marvel his performance in this series all the same. I well search for his performance in what you informed.

[@amandabonanza]

He was outstanding in Roots!!! That's what even made me want to watch Bridgerton!!

[@honeylove4116]

This man is all kinds of Gorgeous ❤

[@shayemoore]

Right and I never say that about a man, LOL 😂

[@vanaphill2454]

I thought it strange in Bridgerton season two that as Anthony contemplated marriage that his best friend the Duke of Hasting was not by his side. Nor his friend the barkeep was missing his friend the Duke as well.

[@TraceyJean]

Strange or not, his character is not really part of Anthony's story in the books either. If I remember correctly, he makes a brief cameo in Eloise's story when she runs away to the country and ends up at Daphne's for a while.

[@kimcoates7569]

Hopefully, Page knows not to despise the day of small things. Sure, he told his part of the story but an occasional cameo would demonstrate his appreciation of the break that he was given. Humility goes a long way if he wants to be respected.

[@happyclappy1805]

He doesn't despise anything from what he conveys. He has been nothing but gracious and tactful so don't create a false narrative. Plus his character was not in the next book

[@kimcoates7569]

@Happy Clappy Clearly, you missed my point & are clueless about where this phrase 'the day of small things' orriginates. Shonda Rhimes has total creative license for her work. Whether it adheres strictly to each book is HER prerogative. With the character of Daphne reappearing from time to time with their children, it's not at all without imagination to briefly see the Duke. It's not creating a 'false narrative' that in appreciation for what this professional opportunity gave Page, he'd be thrilled to do a cameo if asked to. This is what a tactful, gracious, and respectful actor does in honoring his humble beginnings.

[@espressomachinereviews7673]

Lmao I feel like nobody gets why he wont even make a cameo - its because he has has a jealous wife now that he keeps in secret but we know

[@kimcoates7569]

@@espressomachinereviews7673 😂🤣😅 Bet she's got no objection to all his 💰💰💰.

[@mommyhatesguns]

RJP would make a brilliant James Bond❤️

[@flutterpea8533]

petition for this to make it happen🙏🏻 lovely idea❤

[@jenniferstephens7092]

Agreed

[@lone982]

The Duke doesn't feature in any of the other books... So it makes sense.

[@malestorm234]

Hum, while his statements are logical. I think they will be a professional misstep. You're only as good as your last role. And D&D was a box office flop, and Regé-Jean Page was barely in it! I don't see any upcoming roles on IMDB. Yes, moving to different projects avoids type cast, but staying in one role long enough to solidify your name is also important. Doing one season of a show and then running off to do other things can come off as disloyal. Add the fact Hollywood is focused on franchises casting agent might wonder will this guy stay around. Who cares if the character isn't featured in the books anymore, if they want you and will write for you the smart move would be to stay. Regé-Jean Page and Henry Cavill might regret walking away from Netflix in the end.

[@krafka]

I think Page and Cavill are in two completely different boats. Also, Cavill already has multiple movies in various stage of production and acquired the rights to Warhammer, a passion project. Page doesn't seem to have anything lined up post-D&D. However, realistically, there wasn't anything for him to do beyond a glorified cameo in S2 - basically, set dressing like Daphne was in a hanful of scenes. At the same time, committing to participate could have significantly impinged on accepting other roles if the production schedules clashed. Now, if they were to do another "Bridgerton Stories" like they did with Queen Charlotte and he could have a good role, I could see him reconsidering, especially if he doesn't get cast in other roles in the near future.

[@cleodmr1]

He's being featured in Butch & Sundance next.

[@Serena_9]

Bridgerton is an entirely different TV show compare to other shows. The story moves on and focus on other characters, rather than all the main characters. Look what happen so Simone and Jonathan, they absence for almost half of the season three. Nobody cares it Simon would appear now and then. Rege is doing well himself with endorsements in Hollywood. It better than him stick around the show just for cameo.

[@gossipandgrigio7200]

My only thought is that he didn’t get along with the Director

[@wrathofvix6637]

Agree he cannot commit he's mentioned many time 1 tv usually never follows the books after a while they go off on there own being in a small role u can make a huge statement

[@ellicel]

It's possible that his future career ambitions are for movies and not series. He may also not want to be associated with romcoms, which studios aren't making a lot of these days. Plus, his Bridgerton fame focused a lot on his looks, which he may not want as he moves on. I'm sure he's aware that the limelight can be short lived and he is not in a position to take even a few weeks off to go in a direction that's not aligned with his future goals. People may have loved him in the role, but maybe this wasn't HIS dream job. Surely we can't begrudge someone following what he believes is best for him

[@aquanettajohnson52]

I will miss the character's Simon & Daphne!!! BRAVO to those 2 actors ❤❤❤. No other romance can come close to their performances!!!❤❤❤. I wish them the Best!

[@ashleya5700]

The dukes my favorite. Im so bummed

[@StellMoorhouse]

It just would be so nice to see a cameo of him each season after the first but he's my pick for Bond, for sure. I really like him. He has an air about him that is so attractive, and I'm 71!!

[@janetclaireSays]

Season 1 was like a large screen feature film. Season 2 was like a made for tv series.

[@filmadcamp1512]

Season 2 was not good. The female lead was unbearable for most of it and I actually liked the sister much better. So far, season 3 is not measuring up either. So far only Bridgerton 1 and Queen Charlotte have been exceptional.

[@nancicampbell5704]

His recent jobs - The Gray Man and D&D were so disappointing. So far, his best role has been Bridgerton. That role stretched his acting ability - he was great. Will always miss him.

[@OfficiallyEvita]

DON’T LIE. If you read the books you know he wasn’t needed moving forward with future seasons.

[@julietteSoul]

I need him❤

[@missfirenice1421]

We all knew after the 1st season, that HE WASNT COMING BACK! This isn’t new.

[@jkl1202]

I think it was unfair that he kind of left them in the lurch with his wife having to explain that he’s off somewhere else. Is that what she’s going to have to say constantly or are they replacing him? Even if he only had small roles in the rest of the series couldn’t he fit the other acting projects in as well considering he wasn’t featured much? It is a series ,he’s supposed to be part of a family that’s featured in it. Hello it is called Bridgerton which everyone knows is the family! We didn’t see Daphne disappear because she’s no longer featured in it!

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

Well now they're gonna have to explain both Simon and Daphne not being around because the actress playing Daphne won't be coming back. At least for season 3. Last I heard she said she may appear later one but not season 3. She was supposed to and it had been confirmed she would but then something changed,I don't know what,and now she won't be.

[@toniwin7708]

I think the season was never meant to go past 1 for their story. Apparently. With the books, every season is supposed to be a new romance. The writers should have let the fans know that. They can’t keep up with rewriting a completely new story for the characters that continues AND follows along with the other love stories.

[@yvonnelatoya2187]

He shouldn't be in subsequent seasons. Each book is about a different sibling. The Duke just happened to be the first book.

[@laidbacklibra1029]

Well, I’m glad I finally saw this. It puts some stuff into perspective. I’m going to miss him in Bridgerton spinoff Queen Charlotte really gives me hope.

[@carolanderson3054]

Page was such a beautiful actor and I enjoyed every aspect of his character from promising his horrid father on his death bed that he would never marry or produce an heir to realizing that he could never live without Daphne and that he was hers. They may not be a "REAL LIFE" couple but their on screen chemistry was so palpable! I couldn't stop watching season 1. I'm sad that Page won't be returning for the rest of the series but I'm honored that I was able to watch him in the first season.

[@TheCena815]

Well he did a great job in Dungeons and Dragons I'm going to watch it again now

[@dawniebb7665]

He can always model! He is FINE!!!

[@allier1867]

He understandably had a contract for one season. Andnin the books he's barely there of course daphne would sometimes be therd but not the duke

[@Rizegirl]

But he was in the second book. Fans would be excited to see him here and there

[@allier1867]

@@Rizegirl "barely there"

[@Cocoatreat]

I remember him on the show “for the people!” Excellent show…..but it lasted 1 season

[@zezeebetaa]

They could create a show like queen Charlotte for the duke and Daphne

[@MarkettaWalker]

I just started watching this show last night. He play this role so well. I hope to see him again. His character made the show.

[@maria2162]

In all fairness, when they are signed up it’s always with an option for another season, they obviously didn’t offer that to him when he first signed up

[@spiritofanu3112]

I do not believe that. I believe he was offered more. The producers are not stupid.

[@jeannetteduette6704]

He would be an excellent Bond! He would have a long successful run as James Bond!

[@roseguox]

There isn’t really a logical reason on why he left and he doesn’t have the explain it either. Without a reason on why he decided to leave, he has thought it trough and already made up his mind. I think it’s an awesome decision, because even tho it doesn’t make sense it feels like a good decision for him.

[@coolcat3452]

His time there was the only reason I watched it & since he left I left!!….his character was phenomenal!!!😢😢😢

[@faithwe74]

While I would have loved to see him again ,I understand his reasoning for leaving. They would have had to develop his character more since the main conflict highlighted was dealt with, which was his relationship with his father.

[@julieannnairn2382]

Even though we were given these explanations l was still holding out for a brief surprize appearance in season 2. Still holding out for that brief appearance for season 3.

[@agnesolry3362]

He is very clever to have taken this decision. A lot of actors are stucked into a role. I would love seeing him as James Bond.

[@barefootcontessa3112]

He left at the right time, he was at the top of his game .. so far, and he won’t become typecast.

[@djeiys]

Usually for new Tv shows the main actors signed for a 3 seasons contract and at the end of the third season they can renegociate their contract. I guess the production probably gave him a crapy 1 year contract re-negociable after the first season and because the season 1 had a huge success he probably asked for a better pay, which probably was dined by the production. The production want the black guy for cheap always underpay black actors. He was right to leave, slavery is over.

[@EleiaRoddy]

Noooooooooooooooooo! I so wanted to see him again! 😢

[@1FloGlo]

Smart Move👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Your whole post is exactly what Rege had been telling everyone 2 years ago.

[@danw1952]

Truly outrageous click bait title. The entire piece was contrived, had nothing to do wiry his dissatisfaction, and could have run much shorter with how little content it actually contained. Not at all well done.

[@tytania3545]

Jeez I understand why he didn’t return but my dude, at least cameos for pall mall!

[@Persphone_cabin]

I think this is good because instead of only ever seeing him in Bridgerton people now have the opportunity to search for whatever other project he’s in and follow his career

[@patienceisaiah6330]

Actually, I desperately download season 2 hoping to see him in action but was highly disappointed but now I know better, I won't bother downloading season 3 if it ever comes out... season 2 was a big turn off me... Eloise actually consoled me with her exceptional acting skills tho.

[@jayjay-zb3pn]

This was my favorite season and he looked so handsome the perfect looking couple.

[@SleepyHallow143]

He was also filming for the new D&D movie during the filming for Bridgerton S2.

[@mov3172]

I know each book moves on to the next family member romance. But it would be a nice treat to the fans to have them in a few scenes in the following seasons. Because in reality when people get married they don’t just disappear from everyone life

[@ThatsEunice]

He seemed like he had an attitude problem. I didn’t want to watch the show because his interviews seemed arrogant to me.

[@surimoon17l16]

What.... Shanda could've added him in somewhere and him still have other roles

[@NiniBonita]

Oh no 😰I guess it’s time for me to move on too 😭. #EyeCandy

Didn't he confirm that he'll be coming back for the thrid one though???

[@perfectlyimperfect2368]

No. He's said time and time again he's not coming back and that if they wanted to recast his role that's up to them. The actress playing Daphne said she won't be in season 3 either.

Felicidades Regi, eres una persona genial

[@lindascott9731]

Maybe Shonda can write him in for a small cameo with Daphne.

[@KathyYvette]

He did right. Why l stay? The role would of been very small because each season is about another Brigerton not Daphne anymore. 3rd season Queen Charlotte! The best so its smart to work on other projects while the fire is hot!

[@KathrynLaverne]

I love him in this role. It kept me watching. However, I do understand what he means. What happened at the end with him and Daphne seemed accomplished. I asked what was next for them. I am his true fan. Where ever he goes I’m following and what ever role he plays I’m so there! Love him!!!

The series does need reappearances from him or someone else who is similar. His charisma hasn't been matched in any of the other series.

The real reason is that by the time they need to write something that would require him to be there for any serious scenes he'll be 57.

[@cleiru7859]

Good call

[@mzsonsie]

I was one of the fans that appreciated him but also upset that he left Bridgerton. He could have done both the show and new opportunities. Jumping ship so early after breakthrough is not a show of good character. By " character " i don't mean a role but rather, a quality of Being. OK... point taken. No questions and we will move on! Yes we are happy for him and wish him more profound and impactful roles going forward. In his confusion and emotional awkwardness before all the nudity, this man was already captivating in his role as a radom and ended up being the "salt" of the whole show that everything is bland after him....tsk tak 😅

[@Kriskris978]

Honestly simon didnt need to be in season 2, he probably doesnt even need to be there for season 3. I think he could make a cameo for the second part of season 3, but his character becomes (just) a cameo in the books.

He only sign a contract for one year.

[@YogaBlissDance]

OK everyone wiht READ THE BOOKS- this is a series, and as such needs to works visually- who never see's a FAMILY MEMBER AGAIN in a happy family? They could at least pay the dude to show up in BACKGROUND with his wife Daphne. It works in books as you image them off page. But visually its' WEIRD to never see them, a happy couple you rooted for just VANISHES...I find it weird.

[@TaDol]

the THING about stories that involve families....is that viewers always wonder WHAT HAPPENED when members become M-I-A. He could've just continued on "appearances" -- I suppose DISMISSING them as a couple off living in some farm somewhere works in Season 3.
