Unlike Edwina, Kate isn't looking for love, but finds it anyway in Jonathan Bailey's Anthony Bridgerton, adding a \"scandalous\" new dynamic to the show's second season.

\"There's a lot of obstacles in the way between Kate and Anthony finally getting with each other,\" said Ashley, \"[I]t brings up the subject of family more so, because Kate's out there to protect her little sister and Anthony's dedication to his family...there's just much more drama.\"
