Outlander theories: Marsali takes Malva's place in huge Jamie Fraser pregnancy twist


Outlander fans have been enjoying the show’s return to screen so far this season, but many things have changed from the source material’s story. Fans of the franchise have been eager to lap up many different aspects of the books’ storylines so far in the show.

However it has now been pointed out Claire Fraser (played by Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) do not yet seem to be involved in a huge storyline featured in the fifth Outlander book, The Fiery Cross.

The storyline involves Malva – an as of yet unseen character in the show – becoming Claire’s healing apprentice.

This then progresses to Malva learning a lot more about Claire and the pair swap advice about life, sex, and relationships.

Shortly after this, Malva falls pregnant, leaving everyone a little shocked.

As the story continues, Malva goes on to accuse Jamie of being the father of her unborn baby.

Of course Jamie rejects this notion, causing quite the uproar within Fraser’s Ridge.

However, as the debate surrounding the identity of the father continues to grow, Claire discovers Malva has been killed, and left in a lettuce patch.

Fans may notice the first portion of this story is very similar to that of Marsali Fraser’s – (Lauren Lyle).

Obviously, Marsali is happily married to Fergus Fraser (César Domboy), so becoming pregnant would not be a huge issue for the family.

An issue would only arise if Marsali fell pregnant with someone else’s baby due to an affair.

As the crux of Malva’s tragic story concludes with her death, so too would Marsali have to die to keep the essence of the story.

But if Marsali were to fall pregnant from someone else, would she go on to be killed by her scorned husband, or rather her secret lover?

Recently, it has been speculated Jamie and Claire could have another baby after finding Alicia Beardsley who had an illegitimate child then abandoned her.

If the baby’s mother comes back to claim her, could Claire and Jamie instead go on to adopt Marsali’s abandoned child if she were to be killed off?

And if so, would they be able to keep the child without having to explain to it what happened to Marsali?

Outlander continues Sunday on STARZ and will be available to stream on Amazon Prime on Monday.
