“Sadly, not in season 3,” she replied. “Potentially in the future. But season 3, I’m just excited to watch as a viewer.”

Daphne must politely refuse any invites from the tonne this year as it appears that she has had her fill of debutante festivities.

In season 2, her husband Simon Basset (Page) was noticeably absent, and Dynevor's Daphne appeared only sometimes as she tried to convince her brother Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) to get married.

Both Page and Dynevor have film roles to keep them busy: Page is starring in the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons adaptation, and Dynevor is a lead in Fair Play, which was already acquired by Netflix for a whopping $20 million.

Dynevor is obviously left the door open for a potential return to the series that launched her career, but Page has emphasized that the concept is pointless from his perspective.

He's even willing for Netflix to recast the Duke of Hastings, giving a different actor the opportunity to play the part for which he's (now) best known. "They're free to do as they wish," Page said in July 2022 to Variety's Marc Malkin.

Dynevor seemed to be content—at least momentarily—to accompany her screen spouse outside.
