Outlander's Caitriona Balfe in tears as she reflects on favourite episode
Caitriona Balfe became tearful as she sat down alongside co-star Sam Heughan to discuss one of their favourite episodes of the beloved Outlander franchise. Fans are already mourning the loss of its eighth and final season before it has even aired.
Balfe, who plays leading role of Claire Fraser, alongside Sam, in his role as Highland warrior Jamie Fraser, joined a panel to discuss some behind the scenes snippets from shooting one of their favourite episodes. The Irish actress, 45, became emotional in the clip, which was shared to social media.
There was a chorus of admiration from the watching audience, as Sam playfully joked she was "still crying" as the actress wiped away tears. The pair discussed the season 2 finale episode, Dragonfly in Amber, and gave some behind-the-scenes insights from filming.
Caitriona referred to Kinloch Rannoch, where the famous time-travelling stones are situated as a "very special place". She recalled turning up for filming that morning like "Disney himself had turned up and sprinkled snow everywhere."
She continued, "The sun was shining, it was beautiful. Then we took our 200 crew and they stamped on it," Caitriona joked. "We done about two takes and it looked like a mud bath."
"But I think it was one of our favourite scenes that day ever," she divulged, "The crew cried that day, and that's a feat. If you can get hairy Scottish crew to cry you know you've done something right."
Sam interjected as he also fondly reminisced on the moment as being "beautiful".
In Outlander Season 2, Claire and Jamie travel to France to try and prevent the Jacobite uprising, facing political intrigue and personal challenges, while Claire's 20th-century life with Frank also unfolds, ultimately leading to Claire's return to the past and a reunion with Jamie.
The historical romance, based on Diana Gabaldon's best-selling book franchise, has amassed fans across the globe who have fallen in love with lead characters Caitriona Balfe (Claire Fraser) and Sam Heughan (Jamie Fraser).
And whilst we all await the dreaded final chapter of their epic love story, some fans can't get enough and have been binge watching the Starz show from the beginning. Take a closer look at more behind-the-scenes snaps from filming series 2 here.

Scottish singer announced 'immersive' Glasgow concert
Ure said: 'This is my two worlds coming together. 'Almost every album I have made over the last 40-plus years has featured at least one instrumental track. Instrumental music is one of my main loves. 'I realised most of these have never been performed live. So my intention on this tour is to seamlessly insert some of these atmospheric, cinematic instrumentals between a selection of hits and favourite album tracks.' The tour promises to offer a 'rare and deeply personal concert experience' for fans by bringing together album favourites with 'cinematic instrumentals'. Speaking about the tour, Ure said he wanted to 'take the audience on a journey rather than just play a list of individual songs'. 'This will be an immersive experience for the audience both visually and sonically,' he said.
