A devoted Outlander fan has come out in fierce defence of Claire Fraser’s (played by Caitriona Balfe) first husband, Frank Randall (Tobias Menzies).The descendant of the villainous Black Jack Randall (also Menzies), Frank is married to the former WWII nurse at the start of the hit Starz series before she’s whisked back in time.After falling in love with the rugged Highlander Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan), Claire returns to her original timeline for 20 years before Frank dies in a car crash and she returns to the 18th Century.However, long before then Frank had become unhappy in the marriage and confronted Claire about getting a divorce before storming off the day he died.Despite not being nearly as devoted to Claire as her hunky Scottish beau, this viewer recently admitted just how sad they found Frank’s storyline.“Does anyone else absolutely ache for Frank?” they posted to Reddit.“Every time I rewatch seasons 1 & 2, I feel absolutely sick to my stomach for the man.”Although Claire and Jamie have become one of TV’s most beloved couples, this fan revealed they kept watching the first season in the hope the time-traveller would eventually make it back to Frank.“The first time I watched Outlander in general, it took me essentially until the end of season 1 to get over the fact Claire wasn’t going back to him and to ship her with Jaime,” they wrote.“Then she went back and my god it absolutely made me sick, especially now that I had grown to love both of them (that is, Jaime and Frank).“I don’t read the books, so idk if he’s a good guy in there like he is in the show, but the amount of hate I see on him boggles me.”Their opinions sparked a rather fiery debate in the comments, with many other fans baffled to discover someone
