Shonda Rhimes says she was “shocked” by fans’ outrage after it emerged that Regé-Jean Page wouldn’t return to Bridgerton.
“I was really shocked, because usually that happens when I’ve killed off somebody that’s been around for a while.
I mean, really: What would Regé-Jean do, you know what I mean?”
The showrunner, whose production company Shondaland is behind Bridgerton, was asked about Page’s exit – and the ensuing “outpouring of grief” – in a new interview with Vanity Fair.
