rather than

1. Type C individuals suppress their anger and bottle up their emotions rather than expressing them.

2. Type C ... rather than (they) express them.

Q1) Is #2 possible? If so, is "they" thought to be there in parenthesis as an embedded structure?
And is there any difference between #1 and #2?
