Bridgerton Season 2: Why Anthony Is The Main Character (And Not Daphne)
The hotly-anticipated return of Bridgerton season 2 sees a major change in the show, with Anthony taking over as the main character from his sister Daphne. Bridgerton season 1 introduced the Bridgerton family, with the love life of the eldest daughter Daphne at the forefront.

Since the show continues to follow the books, the second season brings Anthony's story to the foreground.
In Bridgerton season 1, Anthony is introduced as a young man in conflict. Due to his father's death, his duty is to act as a benefactor to his mother and younger siblings. His mother asks him for help in arranging Daphne's marriage, which he stumbles at. He wants the best for his sister but doesn't quite know what that is. It is in getting to know his sister that he gains her trust and eventually learns more about what it means to care for his family in a meaningful way. Another tribulation for Anthony is his romance with the opera singer Siena Rosso, who is socially unsuitable as a real match for the heir of the Bridgerton estate. After his heart is broken by Siena, Anthony swears off love, saying that in order to be married he will "remove love from the equation" and just get on with it.
