Viewers last saw Lord John in season five's penultimate episode when it was revealed that he was heading back to England as his stepson had become the Earl of Ellesmere but was too young to take care of the estate alone. The decision devastated Jamie, as the two had grown to become close friends since reuniting.

David even took to Instagram with a farewell message after the episode aired, leading many to believe that he had perhaps decided to bow out of the show for good. Alongside a photo of him and Sam drinking whisky, he wrote: "Don't like goodbyes, tears or sighs."
Given that David did not attend the season six premiere or take part in any of the season six celebrations, it did appear as if he was gone for good. For once, we're happy to have been proven wrong!
