Like each different Outlander fan below the solar, I’ve had fairly a journey with the romantic fantasy/historic drama. It’s made me snigger, made me cry, and delivered a lot shock and awe in simply a few handfuls of its greatest episodes that I typically can’t consider how a lot has occurred to Claire, Jamie and all of their associates and prolonged household. Seeing as how we’ve identified that Outlander Season 8 goes to be the ultimate go-round for a very long time now, I had truly gotten used to the truth that this Caitríona Balfe and Sam Heughan-starring experience was coming to an finish. Nonetheless, now that Heughan’s been out right here praising his co-star, I’m all in my feels once more.
What Did Outlander’s Sam Heughan Say About Caitríona Balfe Earlier than Season 8 Airs?
Regardless that we’re rapidly approaching the tip of the 2025 TV schedule, we’re nonetheless a methods off from the 2026 tv debut of Outlander Season 8. So, whereas we’re, technically, nonetheless in a Droughtlander (although Outlander: Blood of My Blood helps by offering a brand new 1700s time journey story), I’ve been capable of alter to the truth that a collection I’ve liked for over a decade will quickly now not deliver me new adventures.
Throughout a latest interview with the New York Publish, although, Sam Heughan needed to go and stir my emotional pot by sweetly speaking up his co-star and buddy, Caitríona Balfe. When talking about being executed with their roles as Jamie and Claire since Season 8 wrapped filming almost a 12 months in the past, the Males in Kilts star mentioned:
Caitríona and I are going to be in one another’s lives eternally. We’re agency associates, and have been by this superb journey collectively. I’m simply so pleased that she’s being actually profitable and persevering with engaged on some nice initiatives.
Welp, that’s it! As soon as once more, it’s laborious to think about a world the place these two aren’t on display screen collectively at the very least each couple of years. Sassenachs! No matter we could do!
I imply, certain. For a few years now it’s appeared very obvious that Balfe and Heughan turned associates due to the present. From him speaking about how she’s “like a sister and greatest pal,” to her calling him her “work hubby” and them arguing about Heughan refusing to return Balfe’s cellphone calls, they clearly have a good bond that we are able to all hope received’t finish simply because…sniff, sniff…the present that introduced them collectively does.
Hopefully, they’ll proceed to at the very least share their friendship with followers, and submit the odd photograph of them at lunch collectively now and again. He continued, and famous that they even met up not way back:
We had lunch not too long ago, in London. Usually these do flip into maybe the odd margarita or two, however this time I feel we have been fairly properly behaved. However yeah, it’s all the time nice to hang around. If we don’t hear from one another for some time, then we’ll catch up.
Awww! I really like that for them. Hear, of us, all I can actually say is that we higher put together ourselves for the “conventional feels” Outlander‘s last season will deliver, as a result of it’s certain to be an emotional experience that may final properly previous the tip credit rolling for the final time.
