Julia Quinn defended 'Bridgerton' showrunner Jess Brownell's decision to gender swap Francesca's love interest from Michael to Michaela

Julia Quinn is finally sharing her thoughts on how the Bridgerton book series gender-swapped Francesca's love interest from Michael to Michaela.

According to Quinn, she had a specific request about Francesca's story line, adding, 'I made it clear that it was extremely important to me that Francesca’s abiding love for John be shown on screen. When I wrote When He was Wicked I actually had to fight to have the first four chapters, which establish that love included. My publisher was worried that writing about Fran’s love for John would take away from Michael’s role as the eventual romance novel hero.

Quinn specifically praised the show for giving Alli more screen time, adding, 'Honestly, it may pack even more of a punch, since John is getting a lot more time on the screen than he ever did on the page, and I think it’s fair to say we’ve all fallen a little bit in love with him.'
