Here are some parallels I couldn’t help but notice between the Penelope & Siena:

Siena shows up uninvited at Genevieve Delacroix’s house at night and refers to herself as the most notorious opera singer in all of London.

Penelope shows up at Genevieve’s house at night. Genevieve calls Penelope the most notorious gossip writer in London.

Colin told Penelope, “I will always look after you Penelope. You are special to me,” in the last episode of season 2. He devastated her when she overheard him mocking the very idea of wanting her.

Anthony told Siena, “You have me. I will always protect you,” in episode 1 of season 1 and then he devastated her by ending their relationship.

Colin tells Penelope that he misses her but he hurt her and she no longer believes him or trusts him and has decided to focus on finding a new gentleman.

Anthony missed Siena but he hurt her and she no longer believes him or trusts him and decided to focus on finding a new gentleman.

Anthony tried not to be jealous when he thought she might be pairing off with his friend the Duke and she reminds him that Simon is a handsome, titled gentleman of great wealth and exactly the sort of man someone in her position would want. Anthony can’t deny his jealousy when seeing that she has found someone who sees her and wants her.

Ultimately, Anthony is forced to accept that even though there was something between them, his mistreatment of Siena and taking her for granted made her unwilling to trust him again. So she chose another gentleman and Anthony lost her for good.

Penelope is about to meet Lord Debling (who I hope turns out to be a friend of Colin’s) and he’s going to think the world of Penelope, and appreciate and choose her. Colin is going to have to watch and come to terms with the fact that he took her for granted and may lose her.

Was Anthony in love with Siena, and she with him ? (Because I've seen a lot of people ask this question, the answer to which is quite obvious...)

No. He liked her / had some forms of feelings for her / cared about her, and was used to her, but was clearly not in love with her.

Especially since their relationship was above all something very, very carnal, and not really emotional, something essential when talking about being in love. Anthony never seemed to talk to her about his personal demons in relation to his life and his family either.

Even when he sought to assure Bénédict that Siena would be taken care of if he ever died during the duel against Simon, it was more a way of honoring his word to her than out of love ; Anthony rightly attaches great importance to these things as his honor and duties.

Siena was the one thing Anthony had for himself even outside of his family. It was therefore an obvious way of escaping one's responsibilities concerning them ; Hence why when Siena finally leaves him for good, Anthony is finally ready to take charge of his role as viscount by choosing a viscountess, as has been expected of him for a while now.

According to season 2, Anthony explains that he never wanted to succumb to the blind delight of being in love, and even needs this feeling explained / described to him (by Daphné, his own little sister) that he doesn't really understand. So it's obvious that Anthony never felt true romantic love before Kate came into his life.

Jonathan Bailey, the actor of Anthony, himself once explained (at least it seems to me) that his character, before meeting Kate, had always established relationships in which he was certain that he would never fall in love with the womans involved.

Kate is described in the show as a woman unlike any other Anthony has ever met, by the latter himself, as well as as Anthony's real true love by Violet, during a scene where Anthony truly cries for the first time since the death of his father, upon learning that Kate has finally woken up from her coma.

As for Sienna, she also cared for Anthony, liked him / had some form of feelings for him, and was used to him. Quite obvious since she cries during their final separation. But she clearly wasn't in love with him either.

For what ? Because she was looking for stability, a way to secure her future life through a relationship with a man who would take care of her / provide for her needs. This is what Anthony represented above all in his eyes.

It's also very revealing that when he announces that he has to stop dating them, the first thing Siena says is that he had promised to always watch over her. Love or simple affection is not a question here.

Especially since Siena seems after a while to end up wanting the company of a man who values / prioritizes her in a general way, in addition to financial security. Especially since a man who prioritizes Siena, technically offers the latter much more certainty / security of the financial situation, which she must obviously understand / know.

Things she wants / needs, and which Siena eventually realizes, Anthony could never fully give her ; because of all his repeated empty promises in season 1, to always prioritize his family, and not take responsibility for her, without forgetting the commitment problems that Anthony seemed to have on the relational level in general (and of which we spectators, will learn the depth and the reason in season 2, the latter having always avoided romantic feelings since the death of his father).

Hence these reasons, why Siena ended up changing men at the end of season 1, without telling Anthony (which is still quite vicious for me but he is not better with her anyway), with the aim of putting him against the wall and finally stop their relationship (which was already going straight to the wall) for good.

But essentially, while Anthony primarily used Siena to escape responsibility, Siena primarily used Anthony for financial stability. Despite the few feelings they had for each other, their relationship was mainly based on a transactional exchange.

Through their primarily sexual affair, Anthony could escape his responsibilities as viscount, and Siena could achieve financial stability. In short, a relationship of toxic dependence (destined to be ephemeral on Anthony's side) has established itself between the two characters. A relationship therefore doomed to failure, and where romance did not really have its place, despite an attachment having developed between them with the time.

The answer to the initial question is therefore ; No. Anthony and Siena were not in love with each other. They certainly liked each other, were used to each other and above all dependent on each other. But not in love.

Siena left Anthony to live a better life for herself, and thanks to that, Anthony was finally able to take responsibility for his marriage. Thanks to this he was able to meet Kate, the real true love of his life, in addition to being the first to really introduce him to Love.

I can't even understand how people could believe that Anthony and Siena were in love with each other. Kate is obviously the one and only from this point of view.

The higher the love, the more demands will be made on us to conform to that ideal.

Supreme & Eternal Fire, Abyss of Charity

=============================================== Then this soul, as if being inebriated, tormented, and on fire with love - her heart wounded with great bitterness - turned herself to the Supreme & Eternal Goodness, saying:

"Oh! Eternal God! Oh! Light above every other light, from whom issues all light! "Oh! Fire above every fire, Because thou art the only Fire who burnest without consuming, And consumest all sin & self-love found in the soul, Not afflicting her, but fattening her with insatiable love, And though the soul is filled she is not sated, but ever desires Thee, And the more of Thee she has, the more she seeks, And the more she desires, the more she finds & tastes of Thee - Supreme & Eternal Fire, Abyss of Charity. "Oh! Supreme & Eternal Good, Who has moved Thee, Infinite God, To illuminate me, Thy finite creature, With the light of Thy truth? "Thou, the same Fire of Love art the cause, Because it is always love which constrains & constrained Thee To create us in Thine image & likeness, And to do us mercy, Giving immeasurable & infinite graces to Thy rational creatures, Oh, Goodness above all goodness! "Thou alone art He who is Supreme Good, And nevertheless Thou gavest the Word, Thy Only-begotten Son. To converse with us filthy ones & filled with darkness. What was the cause of this? Love. Because Thou lovedst us before we were. "Oh, Good! Oh, Eternal Greatness! Thou madest thyself low & small To make man great. "On whichever side I turn, I find nothing but the abyss & fire of Thy charity" ===============================================
