Bridgerton: Actress Hannah Dodd, to take over the role of Francesca Bridgerton — the sixth oldest Bridgerton sibling.
Let’s talk about Francesca, the most reserved and mysterious of the beautiful Bridgerton sisters. 💞
Francesca hardly gets her spotlight among her large attention grabbing family of jovial 7 siblings and a gracious mother. Yet she shines on her own with an unexpected delightful journey.
I must say that all of the Bridgerton siblings are adorable and special in their own awesome way. But honestly I love Francesca Bridgerton, she is inherently sophisticated.
The quiet, more set apart from her family heroine, brings her own loveliness to the Bridgertons‘ story. She is introverted, careful with her words, intelligent and graceful, possess a calmer disposition than her sisters, and has a warm spirit. She exhibits a great depth as well, we shall explore later in this post.
Watch out for her love story! Francesca may very well have the most intense steamy romantic season in the future Bridgerton seasons. Fans are eagerly awaiting for it!
Francesca is calm, collected, and has an understated elegance. She’s known for having a sly sense of humor in her interaction with her siblings. She loves them all very much and they love her back equally.
She would give her life for her family, an absolute Bridgerton! It’s just that she is different and finds them too intense at times and requires her space.
Her own exciting and fulfilling journey, most of the time away from the Ton and her loud family, sets her story apart in an intriguing light.
Francesca Bridgerton has a different journey than her siblings. She will face agony and trauma.
But, also in time, she will experience an Intense Love because of the infamous Wickedly Devoted Hero we could not have wished better for in the entire Bridgerton books series.

*Spoilers below for series fans*
Certain fans felt, that keeping Francesca in the background for most of the show had a point (other than the obvious cast reason). The focus had to be on Daphne and the other elder siblings first, so that the build up for Francesca’s story happens in a flow.
Because when she will ‘come out in society’ as a star in her own right, she will steal the spotlight as deserved. Fans are hoping to see her shine as the ‘Diamond’ in season 3 as some news hints!
And also because, somewhere in the background the much awaited Scottish Stirling cousins are waiting to suit up for her! Fan favorite, wicked, dashing Michael is somewhere out there, who will come in time to steal her heart.
Contained and less free with her feelings, Francesca shows less by her very nature. In When He Was Wicked (Bridgerton Book 6), she observes a lot and has a depth in understanding people around her. She is able to see Michael’s beautiful character beneath the rakish bluster he puts on front for all.
Francesca is fiercely independent. She runs the earldom so well on her own without the help of her family (absent her late husband). She has her own arc in the book independent of the romance.
In her relationship with Michael she retains her individuality. Francesca is a woman who knows what she wants from the beginning, in every aspect. Unlike her other siblings, she faces much loss and grief. Violet is able to relate with her and their interactions in the book highlight so much of Francesca’s insightfulness
And what makes us love Michael best as a hero is that he recognizes her worth from the beginning. He understands and sees her for who she is and cherishes her.
It was deserving end for Francesca, that she got what she always wanted, a loving husband and two children, whom she loved very much.
Can’t wait to see Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) in upcoming Bridgerton season 3!
