screenrant.com:

Bridgerton star, Phoebe Dynevor has revealed that Daphne has a newfound confidence and is "the rock of the siblings" in the upcoming second season of the hit Netflix show. Having had one of the most successful streaming releases of all time, Bridgerton will return to screens next month, after enchanting fans with the release of its first season back in 2020. While season one focused on Daphne (played by Dynevor), the eldest daughter of the Bridgerton family, as she sought to find a husband in the marriage market of a Regency-era London, season two will focus on the eldest Bridgerton brother, Anthony (played by Jonathan Bailey) as he attempts to trade in his bachelor ways for a more settled, married life.

While having introduced audiences to the Bridgerton family as a whole, alongside a number of other prominent families within their upper-class circle, the first season's focus was largely on Daphne's growth as a person and how her perception of love and marriage shifted as she became a woman. All taking place under the watchful eye of Lady Whistledown, the town gossip who anonymously publishes a paper that details the intimate secrets of many of The Ton's residents, Daphne's story ultimately saw her marry the Duke of Hastings, Simon Basset (played Regé-Jean Page) after their intense on-and-off-again love affair concluded with the couple welcoming their new son into the world in the final moments of season one. The announcement that Page would not be returning as the Duke in Bridgerton season 2 devastated viewers, however many were delighted to hear that Daphne's story would continue on, and now Dynevor has teased what fans can expect from her character in the upcoming episodes.
