The return of Simone Ashley and Jonathan Bailey to the sets of Bridgerton is much of a pleasant surprise to Julia Quinn as it is to us.

&#8220;I get the bad news ahead of time&#8221;: Julia Quinn Discusses &#8216;Bridgerton&#8217; Season 3 Casting

Being the author of the Bridgerton series, Julia Quinn has essentially laid down
a very solid groundwork for the Netflix adaptation. In the case of the first
season and book, the series pretty much followed all the details of the books.
But, in season 2, we saw a lot of changes. Naturally, while half the fanbase
loves the changes, the other half is baffled about the changes from the source.

Since Quinn is a creative consultant for the series, fans might expect her to
get most of the news beforehand. But, that, apparently, isn’t the case. Julia
Quinn said, “I get the bad news ahead of time“. Here’s all the context you need:


JULIA QUINN ABOUT THE UPS AND DOWNS OF CASTING DECISIONS

It wasn’t long after the release of Bridgerton
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/bridgerton/]season 1 that fans received the news
[https://netflixjunkie.com/bridgerton-creator-julia-quinn-isnt-surprised-on-rege-jean-pages-exit-from-the-show-heres-what-she-said/]
of Regé-Jean Page not joining the cast of the Netflix
[https://netflixjunkie.com/category/news/] series in season 2. Although his role
in the following seasons wouldn’t be as significant as season 1, it certainly
would have been great to see him reprising the role as Daphne did. This news was
delivered to Quinn ahead of a public announcement to fans.

As for the return of Jonathan Bailey
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/jonathan-bailey] and Simone Ashley
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/simone-ashley] in the upcoming seasons of the
Netflix Original [https://netflixjunkie.com/category/originals/], Quinn only got
to know of this bit of information as we did. Ashley made a public announcement
about Kate and Anthony’s return, which is when Quinn found out.

While Quinn is the author of the book series and knows all about the characters,
she only serves as a creative consultant for the ShondaLand series. Her
involvement is always “minimal”, as she lets the series take its own course.

One might expect that Julia Quinn [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/julia-quinn]
would want the adaptation to follow her books strictly. That, however, isn’t the
case [https://netflixjunkie.com/?p=29678]. She wants the fanbase to have divided
opinions about which one is better, as it is a sign that both are doing well on
their own. She said
[https://www.insider.com/julia-quinn-bridgerton-book-changes-season-2-breakdown-interview-2022-4],
“You can watch the show and read the books and have both two separate
experiences and one big experience.”
