Outlander boss makes surprising admission about heartbreaking Jamie Fraser and Faith scene
Outlander fans may have missed this scene
As the Droughtlander rages on, Outlander fans are going back to the show from the beginning.
Season seven concluded on the bombshell confirming that Faith Fraser somehow survived after Master Raymond (played by Dominique Pinon) spirited her away and revived her in another time, reports the Express.
Outlander author Diana Gabaldon has confirmed the show will be following an alternate timeline to her novels from here on out, so there will be much focus on Faith.
However, fans may have missed a poignant moment back in season two between Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Faith that almost didn't make the final cut.
The sequence saw Jamie and Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) share an intimate moment, with the Highlander stroking his wife's baby bump and talking to it.
They also joked about whether the infant would be a girl or a boy.
Sadly, this would be the only moment Jamie and Faith shared together before the baby was stillborn later on in the season.
While Claire would get to say goodbye to Faith, Jamie didn't have the chance as he was locked up in the Bastille for his illegal duel with Captain 'Black Jack' Randall (Tobias Menzies).
Claire and Jamie did have a moment in season two in the L'Hôpital des Anges cemetery, where Faith was buried.
Previously speaking on the Outlander podcast, executive producer Ronald D. Moore and writer Matthew B. Roberts broke down the scene.
Roberts said: 'Now, this scene was added. I'd written the entire script and this scene was added late in the game, so to speak.
'And, to me, it's the most important moment in the script because of what's coming.'
Moore explained: 'I think I was initially opposed to this scene because I thought it broke the mood of the aftermath of confrontation and the argument about Jack Randall.
'But I think what swayed me to now seeing it as a really important beat in the story, is that you do have to reconnect before you break them apart.'
Adding: 'And if you're not reconnected in this story and they were apart through this whole thing, then the ending of the show would be a little less shattering.'
Roberts went on to say: 'Exactly. And this is the moment they were a family, when he talked to his baby. When they were playful.
'He says 'he', she says 'she'. Because in his time, a he is very important and in her time… I mean, is Claire a feminist? I don't know, I'm not going to say. But it was important.'

The Chase star Mark Labbett 'fell asleep' during Celebs Go Dating date
Mark Labbett, best known to The Chase fans as quizmaster "The Beast", was reportedly spotted committing the faux pas during a date with a mystery woman while filming Celebs Go Dating "The Beast" from The Chase, real name Mark Labbett, found himself in an amusing pickle on Celebs Go Dating after reportedly dozing off during a date. Labbett, 58, well-known for his sharp intellect and straight-talking on the hit ITV quiz show, seemingly succumbed to sleepiness while the cameras captured the moment mid-date. The latest series of Celebs Go Dating, which was filmed last month, saw an insider reveal that there wasn't much spark between the quizzing legend and his suitor. An anonymous tipster dished: "Mark was yawning a lot and drifted off briefly. It was a bit of an awkward moment. It's safe to say there wasn't much of a spark between them." Previously weighing as much as 29 stone, Mark Labbett tied the knot with second cousin Katie in 2014 but called it quits after six years. He then dated TV host Hayley Palmer in 2023; however, the couple split after just one year together, reports the Express. Discussing his break up with Hayley, 43, Labbett confided in The Sun: "She's a lovely lady and I was very lucky to date her for a year, and as I said: it's me, I got old." He continued: "There's been no one since Hayley. I'm not saying there won't be another one. But I'm certainly not looking." Delving into his love life, Labbett reminisced: "I was single, not coincidentally, for a long, long time when I was a 29st maths teacher who knew it was quite hard to attract a partner then. So I'm quite comfortable without a partner." Mark's representative quipped a witty retort when questioned about the drowsy date: "If his date was as boring as you have suggested, I'm surprised he didn't take a pillow with him!". Celebs Go Dating chose to remain tight-lipped regarding the incident.

Her entrance could potentially shake up the market, reports the Express.
