“Roger goes away a lot this season and Brianna gets left on her own, so there’s the emotional fear there is then a practicality there, too, because from their meeting in season four, she knows that Bonnett now has an interest in Jemmy. Nightmares of Bonnett still traumatize the new mother, and her new husband’s impending absences after being named a captain in Jamie’s militia, will be a cause for concern. But obviously, she has her baby now and she puts on an exceedingly strong front for her family,” Skelton said of how her character - a woman who came of age in the 1960s - will handle the news going forward. I know that it was always in the back of her mind. She’s never going to be running around, screaming, crying that Bonnett’s back.

While the wedding festivities featured music, laughing, merriment, community and drunken tongue-twisters (of which Lauren Lyle’s Marsali Fraser was the queen), Brianna was left shaken after overhearing Lord John Grey (David Berry) tell her father that her rapist, the smuggler Stephen Bonnett (Ed Speleers), escaped death in season four. “The Fiery Cross” episode (named after the Diana Gabaldon novel on which this season is based) interspliced footage from Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie’s season one wedding as Brianna and Roger said their vows. And actually, we do see more and more this season them coming closer and closer because they’re so similar as people and they start to have a mutual respect for each other, too,” Skelton said. It’s not like she’s a 5-year-old-girl and so to get to know each other is difficult and weird. “Although he’s her biological father, it’s awkward. “For Bree, Frank not being there is quite difficult, but obviously her and Jamie’s budding relationship is such a beautiful thing and to show it was really lovely.”ĭespite her father mistaking Roger for her rapist in season four, beating him to a pulp, and telling Young Ian (John Bell) to get rid of him, with her love since rescued (from the Mohawks) and returned, Jamie and Brianna will re-cultivate their much-longed-for father-daughter relationship in season five.

I think it’s really sweet and it’s beautiful how emotional Jamie gets,” Skelton told The Hollywood Reporter. “It’s so touching they got that in - especially the six pence from Murtagh.
