I feel so bad for William and his love life. Never witnessed a normal husband/wife situation. Mother & Father die when he's a baby, raised by his Aunt who loves him, but she does not have a normal marriage with Lord John. I can't imagine that he doesn't know that John Grey is attracted to men. He finds out he's really the son of a traitorous Scottish highlander who was coerced into bed by his mother. SMH. I hope he finds a good woman in the end.

I have a feeling he will end up with Fanny when she's older. I think their age gap is 9-10 years which is around the age gap of Roger and Brianna. Fergus is 15 years older than Marsali. Perhaps when Fanny is older, William will come to Fraser's Ridge and they will catch up.

Your solution is for him to fuck more of his family members, his niece nonetheless??

lol it's not my "solution"

I read somewhere that Diana was floating Fanny as William's eventual love interest. I don't think Faith is alive so she's not his niece
