Falls in love with: Anthony Bridgerton (Viscount Bridgerton)

Featured in: The Viscount Who Loved Me

Appears in: Romancing Mister Bridgerton, When He Was Wicked, On the Way to the Wedding, The Bridgertons: Happily Ever After, The Wit and Wisdom of Bridgerton

Is also mentioned in: An Offer from a Gentleman, To Sir Phillip, With Love, It’s In His Kiss, What Happens in London, Just Like Heaven, Lady Whistledown Strikes Back

Character Notes:

  • "Lady Bridgerton" is mentioned in What Happens in London, but we can't be sure which Lady Bridgerton Olivia is referring to.
  • To be fair, it's "Lady Bridgerton's dog" who is mentioned in Lady Whistledown Strikes Back, but as Newton does not have a character profile, citing Kate will have to do.
  • Kate's last name was changed for Shondaland's series for Netflix from Sheffield to Sharma after the show's writers opted to give Kate an Indian background.
