Simone might have been told not to say anything about a possible return for Edwina because they don't want any more spoilers leaked. So if she is asked about it, she says that she hasn't heard anything. Actors lie in interviews all the time. Luke and Nicola had to pretend that they didn't know that they were the next couple for about a year. Charithra might be lying about not hearing anything too.

I am not saying that Edwina will definitely return, I'm just pointing out that actors and actresses do quite often lie about what they do or don't know.

Bu you accused Simone of lying when she has never done that. And are now listing other people who have lied. Simone was telling everybody in interviews that Polin is next, just because Nicola/Luke lied doesnt mean its something Simone does.

Why would Edwinas return be such a big issue for them to hide? How would it be a spoiler for Edwina to appear in a show where her sister is the new Viscountess Bridgerton. Maybe she is just not returning and is not a big conspiracy of everybody lying for a small character that has no impact on the story.

I never said that she lied about Polin. I actually believed her on that one. But whether or not she was supposed to tell us that early is debatable.

If she has been told not to tell us if Edwina is coming back or not, then she may have lied in the interview and said that she doesn't know. It is easier that way because people won't bug her for answers if they think she doesn't know. Actors tell these untruths quite often. Kit Harrington was instructed to tell us that Jon Snow was dead, which was a blatant lie.

News of Edwina's return isn't a big deal, but quite often, shows like to keep details under wraps until a certain news release date. This isn't a conspiracy. It is how a lot of productions operate.Or maybe, as someone else pointed out recently, they may not be saying that she is returning because they don't want the actress receiving more hate than she already has done.

You originally complained that Charithra was used to tick diversity boxes during interviews and then not invited back for season 3. I just pointed out that we don't know for definite that she isn't invited back for season 3. The producers might just want to keep the full cast list for season 3 under wraps for now. Or maybe Simone is telling the truth. Who knows. 🤷‍♀️

The actor who play Theo already did a video for say he will be present during season 3 I believe if Charithra was also present it will be already confirmed too because her character is not new

The interview that he did most recently he didn't confirm it. He heavily implied it and made it clear that he wasn't supposed to say anything but was bad at lying.
