Outlander: everything to know about Jamie's secret son who appears in season 7 | HELLO!? ›

Who is Jamie Fraser

Charles Vandervaart is joining the historical drama series in the role of William Ransom, who is the secret son of Jamie Fraser, played by Sam Heughan.

Jamie has a son named William Ransom with Geneva Dunsany, who died during William's birth. Jamie also has two stepdaughters, Marsali MacKimmie Fraser and Joan MacKimmie, from his marriage to his second wife, Laoghaire MacKenzie.

Yes. In the seventh book An Echo in the Bone, William works out for himself that Jamie is his real father. William sees John and Jamie talking and suddenly realises that Jamie is his real father. Jamie then confirms the truth and William is furious with his step-father Lord John for keeping this a secret.

Desperate to save him, it was Jamie who shot Ludovic and rescued William. The Earl later died of his injuries. As a result, from the age of six, William has been raised by Lord John Grey, his legal guardian and the husband of Geneva's younger sister, Isobel Dunsany.

As a result of their dual passing, William was raised by his mother's sister, Isobel, and her husband, Lord John Grey. He referred to his aunt and her husband as his step-mother and step-father, respectively. Unbeknownst to Willie, his birth father was not the elderly Earl of Ellesmere at all, but Jamie Fraser.

You need to get to the place where you can at least see that maybe something happened in those 20 years, and we started to move toward this idea that what was really behind Jamie's marrying Laoghaire was his desire to have a family and be a father.

In Season 1's “Castle Leoch,” Jamie takes Laoghaire's punishment for “loose behavior” and it lands him with a variety of contusions and lacerations meted out by Rupert. The next time we see Laoghaire and Jamie together in “In the Way Out,” she is pulling him through a doorway while giggling and kissing him.

How old is Jamie Fraser when he dies? As revealed in a 2014 interview on the Outlander Podcast, Diana Gabaldon shared that Jamie is approximately 25 years old when he passes away, corresponding to the age of the ghost.

Grey falls in love with Jamie, who rejects his advances. Still, Grey cannot dismiss his feelings.

Why did Jamie shoot his real dad? ›

When Jamie finally killed his dad, it was an attempt to side with the Duttons and preserve his own standing. However, the murder turned him into a slave to Beth.

After Claire and Jamie managed to bring Fergus back from the brink, he resolved to do what he could to protect his son. Before the season ended, Fergus and Marsali moved with their children to the neighboring settlement of New Bern where Fergus had taken up a print press.

The scene where Frank confronts Jamie's ghost in the first episode of Outlander. Indeed, Frank has seen what appears to be the ghost of his wife's other husband, an 18th-century Scotsman named Jamie Fraser, whom Claire meets after she travels back in time.

Meanwhile Jamie himself is not able to time travel, a fact which has prompted much of the show's most heartbreaking drama. (When Frank briefly sees Jamie in the 1940s? That, according to Gabaldon, is his ghost, not his time-traveling corporeal self.)

Because the fact that it was Lord John that Claire turned to - that somehow cuts Jamie deep. Clearly he still loves Claire, understands what she did, and forgives her for it - but here, in this passage, he admits he is human. He admits how difficult it is for him to keep his vow to forgive her.

Garrett Randall was the birth father of Jamie Dutton and the primary antagonist for Season 4. He was convicted of killing his wife when Jamie was a young boy and lived by himself on his farm after being released from prison. He blamed drugs on his wife's death and the reason for her death.

William Ransom is the secret illegitimate son of Geneva Dunsany and Jamie Fraser. Legally, he is the son and heir of Ludovic Ransom, Eighth Earl of Ellesmere, who was his mother's husband at the time of his birth. Since the age of six, William has been raised by Lord John Grey, his legal...

William Ransom

His mom, Geneva Dunsany, blackmailed and coerced Jamie into having sex with her, in events many view as assault. William, however, is legally the son and heir of Geneva's husband Ludovic Ransom, Eighth Earl of Ellesmere, who died shortly after William was born, making William the Ninth Earl of Ellesmere.
