As Outlander season seven came to a close, fans were left stunned at the final scenes which left us all longing to know what happens next.
In the final scene – (warning – spoilers!) Claire walks in on Fanny singing ‘I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside’ and is confused because it is a song from the future and also, it is a song that Claire sang to her first daughter Faith Fraser, who died at birth.
Claire asks Fanny where she heard it, and she tells her it’s a song her mother Faith used to sing to her – leaving Claire dumbfounded as she believes that actually Faith maybe didn’t die after all and may be Fanny and Jane’s mother.
Fanny is portrayed by 13-year-old actress Florrie May Wilkinson, who is also known for her role in CBBC’s The Dumping Ground, and has been majorly praised by fans and also co-star, Caitriona Balfe, who plays Claire Fraser – Fanny’s potential grandmother.
Speaking about Florrie, Caitriona said: “Florrie is so amazing. Every time we have a scene with her, you’re just blown away by how brilliant she is.”
And speaking on a Outlander fan Facebook group, one fan made a post especially to praise Florrie for her role as Fanny.
Alongside a picture of Florrie with Claire and Sam, they penned: “One of my favourite book characters.”
The post had nearly 200 comments of praise.
Another fan wrote: “She’s going to be a huge star!”
One said: “Great little actress. The casting for this part was spot on..”
Another added: “She is such an excellent actress just in seeing her in this role. Can’t wait to see more.”
“She is an awesome actress. She carried her scenes so well. Looking forward to seeing her mature into future roles”, another said.
Speaking about her time on Outlander, Florrie took to Instagram to say she was so grateful to be part of such a huge show.
She said: “What a season! What a cast and crew! What a location! What amazing fans Outlander has! What an experience! (Where I learned from THE BEST!) Forever grateful @outlander_starz.”
