"They just are who they are. I don't think I'm necessarily playing a queer quality, I think she is just who she is. However, she added that she's excited to see where [their relationship] goes."
"Introduced as the cousin of Lord John Stirling, Michaela Stirling is keen to spice things up. She's a typical rake, bringing buckets of charisma and a little chaos to the show's elegant proceedings. After meeting John's wife Francesca, it's clear that the pair have a spark."
Masali Baduza has been promoted to the main cast for Bridgerton season four, playing Michaela Stirling, a character originally male in Julia Quinn's source material. Introduced as Lord John Stirling's cousin, Michaela is a charismatic rake who develops a spark with Francesca Stirling. The gender-swap announcement generated online controversy, with some fans opposing the queer romance storyline. While season four sets the stage for their relationship, season five will feature Bridgerton's first explicit LGBTQ+ romance between leading characters. Baduza emphasizes that she doesn't view herself as playing a queer quality, but rather portraying Michaela as an authentic character who simply is who she is.
