"I know a lot of people loved Michael in the books - and you know, he's still there in the books. So if people want to revisit him, they can. But I love Michaela so much, and I think that she's just such a cool character."
"I feel really protective over her, and I would love for people to really get to know her, give her a chance. I know it's a shock, but I'm so proud to be telling her story alongside Hannah, and I feel so honored to be trusted with this responsibility. It's a huge, important step forward for so many people."
Bridgerton Season 4's second half features John Stirling's sudden death, which sets the stage for a significant love story between Francesca Bridgerton and Michaela, her late husband's cousin. Michaela is a gender-swapped adaptation of the character Michael from Julia Quinn's source material, a change that generated considerable fan discussion. Actress Masali Baduza portrays Michaela as a warm, spirited character who lives a rich life in Scotland and enjoys pleasure-seeking, contrasting sharply with Francesca's preference for peace and order. Baduza expresses pride in telling this groundbreaking story, emphasizing its importance as the show's first sapphic love story and its significance for representation.
