Back on screen after a year and a half of absence, season 7 d’Outlander delights fans with episodes full of twists and turns. If French fans are not delighted to have to wait a week before each new episode, broadcast on Saturdays on Netflix, spectators are experiencing a roller coaster. After an emotional reunion in Scotland and the death of Jenny's husband Ian, tragedy struck Claire and Jamie again. The latter was presumed dead in the sinking of the boat which was to bring him back to America. And while Claire was accused of being a spy, she agreed, against her will, to marry John Gray to save her life. In full mourning and despair at having both lost the one they considered their soul mate, Claire and John shared an unexpected night of love, before discovering, lo and behold, that Jamie was in fact alive and well. ! How would Jamie react? “It’s a bit of a testament to Outlander but also to these characters, how they manage to get through a difficult situation together and find common ground, said Sam Heughan. I think that's the beauty of their love to be able to overcome situations like this.”
“We all want to find a love like this”confides Sam Heughan about the couple of Claire and Jamie in Outlander
Asked by Tele-Leisure on the success ofOutlander, the actor analyzed the reasons. “At the moment, I'm meeting with studios and producers, and for them, the series is an exception, Sam Heughan explained. It's a series that's a bit old school, romantic, but also with elements of fantasy thanks to time travel. But I think the heart of the series is this relationship that everyone aspires to, a mature and deeply human love. Both of these characters have their own insecurities, but they always find a way to come back to each other and find common ground.” And to add: “I think it inspires us. We all want to find a love like that… I certainly wouldn't be against it… Not finding a Claire, or… a Claire who's a little calmer (he laughs).” This is enough to melt the millions of fans of the Claire and Jamie couple!
For Caitriona Balfe, “Outlander offers a beautiful moment of escape” to the spectators
Does this mean that Sam Heughan hasn't found his Claire yet? While a photo of Richard Rankin (Roger), well accompanied, was widely commented on by their partners, Sam Heughan is generally very discreet about his private life. A sentence that also made his partner, Caitriona Balfe, smile. According to the actress, the alchemy ofOutlander is also due to the team, some of whose members have been working on the series since its launch eleven years ago. “We laugh about it sometimes, standing outside in the pouring rain and wind, but this team gave everything to create something beautiful for people. And when you see the show on screen, it offers a beautiful moment of escape.”
