Fergus told Marsali that he wouldn't see her anymore, but Marsali was determined and their relationship continued.
Marsali however took to each trial courageously and saw a future away from Fraser's Ridge. In the fifth episode, she decided it was best to move her family to New Bern for a fresh start and to keep Fergus far from its negativity.
We learn that Fergus (Romann Berrux) is not getting drunk and beating Marsali.
And we got to hear that Fergus and Marsali were heading to New Bern where Fergus could open up his own print shop.
In the dramatic final episode, pregnant Marsali (Lauren Lyle) was beaten and Claire was kidnapped and raped by Lionel Brown (Ned Dennehy).
According to what we know from the books, the two remain absent or otherwise marginal for the duration of the seventh book, An Echo in the Bone, on which Outlander season 7 is based.
However, he brings along Jamie's step-daughter Marsali MacKimmie, informs Jamie that they are in love, and the two are hand-fast. In spring 1767, Fergus and Marsali marry in the West Indies and Jamie gives Fergus his own last name, thus formalizing their relationship as father and adopted son.
For now, though, it appears both Fergus and Marsali aren't time travellers with actors Lyle and Domboy addressing this in an Instagram live Q&A from earlier this year.
Jamie also has two stepdaughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, from his marriage to his second wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie.
Berrux was simply replaced by Domboy because the makers needed an older actor to show the passage of time with Fergus growing up. The actor would have been around 14 or 15 when Outlander season three was filmed, while Domboy was about 26 or 27.
It shouldn't be all that surprising to find out that they have two more children during the late 1770s. Marsali has given birth to Alexandre Fraser and Charles-Claire Fraser. You can see who they are both named for within their names there, albeit the French versions of the names. It's so perfect for the couple.
In the novels, Marsali and Fergus apparently know. They haven't been told on-page, but Diana Gabaldon confirms that the two know that Claire, Bree, and Roger are time travelers.
Fergus is 17 years older than Ian and 15 years older than Marsali.
Henri-Christian is born as the fourth child of Fergus and Marsali. He is a dwarf and some of the residents of Fraser's Ridge believe he is a punishment for his parents' sins. Henri-Christian is placed in a basket and put into a stream by some boys. Roger saves him and baptized him.
Jamie notes that Claire has told Fergus and Marsali about when the Revolutionary War will come to an end. She'd need to have told them she's a time traveler to be able to explain that one. Jenny does eventually find out.
Fans will be pleased to hear Fergus survives through to Diana Gabaldon's novels. In Written in My Own Heart's Blood, Fergus and his family settle in Wilmington in 1779. He continues to face threats but managed to stay safe throughout.
The two characters have been glacially drifting toward friendship since the end of season 3, and while Marsali doesn't share her mother's wish to see Claire burned at the stake, she does know there's something magical going on.
Jamie denies having slept with her, but the damage to his and to Claire's reputation is done—and the bond between the Frasers and Malva is severed, until just a few weeks later, when Claire finds Malva murdered in the garden. “It's like the peak of the tragedy, and it's so visceral.
Okay, if you've read Diana Gabaldon's Voyager, you've known about -- and likely been waiting for -- this moment since the season began, as Claire finally came face to face with Jamie's second wife (and her longtime nemesis) Laoghaire, the woman who was so jealous of Claire's relationship with Jamie that she plotted to ...
Well, Fergus is believed to be the son of the comte and Amelie Beauchamp.
Some think Jamie's spirit (but not his body) traveled to through time to guide Claire to him; others suggest Jamie had a near-death experience after the Battle of Culloden, and that's why his ghost is 25 when he appears to Frank.
Sadly, the long ginger curls of Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) are not real. Heughan wears mostly extensions and wigs to become Jamie Fraser in the series. Throughout the show's six-year history, Jamie has been seen with his hair curled, plaited and even had a fringe in season four.
After the drama of the shorter series six, which was scaled back in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, many viewers are searching elsewhere for their fix of Scottish history. And it has fans wondering why producers replaced the original Fergus actor Romann Berrux, writes the Express.
Although he may be an adoptive son, Jamie and Claire see Fergus almost as one of their own children. This became particularly clear in season six when the couple showed him some tough love in the face of his alcoholism and the way he'd been treating his wife Marsali (Lauren Lyle).
He is a 30-year-old handsome, savvy, charming man, still completely devoted to Milord and Jamie's most trusted man. He has a dangerous edge as well when needed and works with Jamie in his smuggling enterprise. We see this adult version of Fergus at the same time a newly returned Claire does. He can't believe his eyes.
