Sanditon's producers were forced to write out Sidney and abandon their planned continuation of Mr. Parker's love story with Charlotte Heywood (Rose Williams).

Sanditon season 2 brought Charlotte back to the seaside town on England's southern coast and introduced new characters, including Charlotte's spritely younger sister, Alison (Rosie Graham).

Sanditon season 2 can be lauded for how Sidney's absence became a focal point in the show, strengthening the stories of Charlotte, Georgiana, and Sidney's brothers

Not only did Charlotte properly mourn Sidney, she decided she didn't want to marry and chose to become a governess to Colbourne's young daughter, Leonora (Flora Mitchell), and troubled niece, Augusta
