Additionally, the Starz series has enlisted another French actor, Marc Duret, to fill an important role in the Frasers’ new Parisian setting. (To maintain authenticity, the show has employed a French tutor to assist with language and pronunciation, as it did with Gaelic last season).

Former “love” not “lover”. He was young when he was in France the first time and fell in love with her but nothing intimate happened that I recall.

You don’t recall Jamie telling Claire about how he came home from Paris with a broken heart and told his father he was considering becoming a monk? “I’ve had a long day, Jamie.” ROFL. One of my favorite scenes.

And of course, Jamie’s heart was broken when he won the duel and Annalise threw herself on his rival instead of Jamie haha. Another lesson learned.

She was the one over whom he dueled. The tale was told in Gabaldon’s story “Virgins” and it’s when Jamie learns that you don’t duel with long hair. Gives your opponent something to grab.

Annalise de Marillac was a young woman with whom Jamie fancied himself in love, and fought a duel over her, I believe. During their conversation when Claire admits to being jealous, Jamie tells her her face is his heart. She is merely a memory, not a threat.

Unless Ron Moore wants to add a little more drama for Jamie and

Unless Ron Moore wants to add a little more drama for Jamie and Claire, Annalise shouldn’t be a threat to their marriage.

It’s the headline of the article that is missleading. She’s not “Jamie’s ex”. Jamie was in love with her, but she never reciprocated such love.

Yes, she was not an “ex”, she wasn’t his girlfriend or anything, but he liked her…

She was not a ‘lover’ but a former ‘love’ – two totally different things as theu obviously never slept together! He had a huge crush on her when he was student in Paris.

All I know is that they better not decide to make it more than it is in the book! Those of us that loved the books first do not want to see any drama surrounding this….
