“It’s always weird when you shoot these things where you have to put yourself in the precipice of death.” Outlander<\/em><\/a> star Caitriona Balfe<\/a> told us about filming that shocking opening moment of the Season 7 premiere, in which her character, time-traveling doctor Claire Fraser, appears to be hanged for murder.<\/p>\n In the first episode of our weekly Outlander<\/em> after the show Inside the Outlander,<\/em> actress shares behind-the-scenes details about filming that scene and others in the long-awaited return of the romantic saga, including the moment Claire reunites with her husband Jamie (Sam Heughan<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cThis couple, whenever they’re torn apart, whenever they’re separated, it’s like losing a limb, and every time they come back together it’s like their whole life force comes back to them. They don’t fully function without each other,” Balfe tells us.<\/p>\n She also hints at what’s to come: “There’s a lot of trauma this season, but Claire is more mentally able to deal with it (than last season).”<\/p>\n Balfe then reveals that we haven’t seen the last of Tom Christie (Mark Lewis Jones<\/a>), Claire’s unexpected savior in the season premiere. The actress promises more twists and turns in that story.<\/p>\n Watch the video above for more from Balfe about shooting that shipboard scene with Jones; the first time he worked as a director on the series (he directed a scene with Sophie Skelton<\/a>, who plays Claire’s daughter Bree); what she learned about women on the battlefield in the American Revolution; and how Jamie’s wartime challenges will affect the couple.<\/p>\n Check back each week for insight into a new episode of Outlander <\/em>from the stars themselves.
