Anthony’s storyline dives into why he's pushing love away at age 30: the heartbreak, trauma and grief from his father’s sudden death, which he witnessed at age 18 and the show portrays through flashbacks.
In episode three,"A Bee In Your Bonnet," viewers catch a glimpse of teenage Anthony before his father dies for just a moment, and the difference is remarkable. There’s a glimmer in his eye and an innocence about him that aligns with his adolescent age.
The next flashback shows Anthony just moments later in their home, tears in his eyes, listening to a servant talking about funeral arrangements that need to be made. Another servant steps in asking about the body, and out of the corner of his eye, he sees his mother collapsing in disbelief. In Anthony’s case, it didn’t seem like he had much of a choice in the matter, but in a more modern scenario, there might have been more of a standing-at-the-crossroads moment.
The burden consumes him, so he puts up a wall around himself, internalizing the pain because he feels it's best for the family.From the very beginning of Season Two, Anthony makes it clear that he has a laundry list of requirements for what he believes makes a suitable wife: “Tolerable, dutiful, suitable enough hips for childbearing, and at least half a brain … and that last part is not as much as a requirement but a preference,” he says.Jonathan Bailey as Anthony Bridgerton.
Shortly after their initial meeting, when Kate overhears Anthony express his “requirements” for a wife to a group of bachelors. To make matters more complex, Anthony decides he would like to court Edwina, Kate’s younger sister, which Kate is against.When Anthony is getting ready to propose to Edwina, his mother notices a lack of happiness in him.
“Talking with someone who's had a similar type of loss you suddenly feel more normal. You realize, 'It’s not just me, this is part of loss,'” O’Conner explained. “You don’t have to explain why it’s hard or why it’s complicated. You can just trust that they get it.”On the day of Anthony and Edwina's wedding, his sister Daphne visits Anthony before the ceremony begins.
“Whether somebody wants others around to share and have a conversation is very individual. People need that opportunity or that option, they may not be ready,” Hanson explained. According to Hanson, it's important for another parental figure or a family member close to the situation to share their feelings and ultimately “free” the once-young adult from their guilt.
