Marsali and husband Fergus Fraser will be “at their most tested” in season six. <\/p>
Star of Outlander<\/a>\u00a0Lauren Lyle has teased that the upcoming sixth season will prove difficult for her character Marsali Fraser, who committed murder in the previous season\u2019s finale.<\/p>\n For Marsali, \u201cit continues to just get quite a lot darker,\u201d Lyle said during an exclusive\u00a0Big RT Interview<\/a>\u00a0published in full this Sunday.<\/p>\n Lyle, who plays a protestor in BBC One\u2019s upcoming submarine thriller Vigil<\/a>, returned to film Outlander season six during the pandemic, alongside co-stars Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan.<\/p>\n Marsali is one half of the three central Outlander couples: Claire and Jamie, Brianna and Roger, and Marsali and Fergus.<\/p>\n However, events in the sixth season will test the previously \u201cfun, romantic\u201d Marsali and Fergus, and will force Marsali to \u201cstep up\u201d and support her family.<\/p> \u201cMarsali and Fergus have always been this fun, romantic couple \u2013 young, cool \u2013 like the ones that make people laugh and are just really in love with each other and have all these kids. And this time [in season six], it just got really deep and really dark\u2026 They\u2019re at their most tested,\u201d Lyle explains.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s the most tumultuous time that we\u2019ve seen them and their relationship [in]. And Marsali really has, this season \u2013 it\u2019s the first time you see her having to step up, and she\u2019s sort of supporting the family and dealing with her own needs.\u201d<\/p>\n In the Outlander books<\/a>, Marsali (currently pregnant in the series) gives birth to a baby boy, Henri-Christian, who is born with dwarfism, and the family face cruel persecution from superstitious locals. If you want to read the books for yourself, you can purchase the Outlander series<\/a> on Amazon.<\/p>\n Vigil\u00a0begins at 9pm on\u00a0Sunday\u00a029th August on BBC One and BBC iPlayer, with episode two airing at 9pm on the Bank Holiday Monday, 30th August.\u00a0Vigil\u00a0will then continue weekly each\u00a0Sunday\u00a0at 9pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.<\/b><\/p>\n Looking for something else to watch?
