“She’s running the family because she’s the one who’s settled now,” says Dynevor.
“She is the rock of the siblings in this season, which is quite nice to play.
But Daphne is well-positioned to help Anthony as he becomes the central figure in this season’s action.
She did it with Simon, and now she’s doing it with Anthony.”
“Daphne’s a lot looser,” Dynevor notes.
The country house definitely brings that out in her and everyone."
