This unexpected change has sparked speculation about a potential queer romance in the upcoming Season 4.
Hinting at a Queer Narrative
The introduction of Michaela Stirling in Season 3 was already a departure from the books, hinting at a possible change in Francesca's storyline. Furthermore, subtle moments between Francesca and Michaela, such as shared glances and lingering conversations, have fueled rumors of a growing attraction between them.
Francesca's Butterflies
Just before Francesca and John embark on their honeymoon, she experiences a moment of hesitation upon meeting Michaela again.
