Yerin Ha from Bridgerton Reveals She Developed Folliculitis After Steamy Bathtub Scene
This article contains major spoilers for part two of Bridgerton season four.
Dearest gentle reader, the ton finds itself this day in mourning.
While book readers may have known the death of this major character in Bridgerton was on the horizon, they didn’t know exactly when it would occur.
But alas, the sixth episode of season four—released during the part two drop on Feb. 26—took a detour from the burgeoning Cinderella-like love story between Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek (Yerin Ha) and tragically introduced the death of John Stirling (Victor Alli), husband to the sixth eldest Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd).
The tragedy occurred when John told his wife he was going to lie down for a nap, prompting a concerned Francesca to ask if anything was wrong. But despite his assurances he was suffering “only a small headache,” Francesca later discovers her beloved dead—her cries alerting his visiting cousin Michaela (Masali Baduza), who runs in to help.
Ultimately, however, there is nothing to be done, and Francesca is forced to say goodbye to her husband just as soon as they were finally finding their stride.
