Outlander star Caitriona Balfe makes admission about Claire Fraser's parents in prequel
Outlander actress Caitríona Balfe opened up about the prequel Outlander: Blood of My Blood teased in trailer Outlander actress Caitríona Balfe has divulged a lovely anecdote about the runaway success of the Starz series, reports the Scottish Daily Express. The Irish sensation commented: "I mean, I did not start the show thinking I would ever meet my parents." She further revealed her excitement about the prequel developments, saying, "I didn't know that these guys were going to be part of the prequel and I was super excited when I found out they were because I think I was like, 'Oh great, like it's really cool that Claire's parents are in the show.'". Balfe also shared, "I don't remember what my vision of them in my head was. But when I saw these guys a week ago, I was like, 'It's really cool. It's really awesome.'". These revelations came during a Q&A session with cast members from Outlander: Blood of My Blood—Jeremy Irvine and Hermione Corfield—who bring life to Balfe's onscreen parents, Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston. Upon meeting the pair from Blood of My Blood, Balfe expressed, "Having met Hermione and Jeremy, I'm like they are definitely fitting parents." Admirers of Outlander have already observed the notable likeness between Balfe and Corfield, who are cast as daughter and mother characters. In reflection of her pivotal role on the show, Balfe disclosed: "I think Diana created the most incredible character in Claire. She is incredibly strong-willed. She has an innate sense of justice. She will fight for that justice." Balfe adds depth to her portrayal of Claire by stating, "She doesn't take slights lightly. But she lives and loves with incredible passion." Regarding her fictional lineage, Balfe mused, "She fights fiercely and she loves fiercely. And I don't know which one of my parents she got it from." The conversation then turned to the serendipitous romance that blossomed between Henry and Julia under rather extraordinary conditions. Corfield divulged: "So I'm working in a redaction office. You [Henry] write a letter that's sort of saying, 'All is lost and I'm in a horrible place and if anyone read this, I need help.'". Elaborating further, she added: "And then I write back and then we start writing." Irvine described his character's emotions, saying: "There's a poetic nature of Julia's letters. He really finds solace in the romance. In a very dark place, he finds this little ray of hope and this light and he really sort of clings onto that." 'Outlander: Blood of My Blood' is set to delve into the backgrounds of Claire's parents, Henry and Julia, who have so far been cloaked in enigma within the narrative, unlike Jamie Fraser's (played by Sam Heughan) parents. Devoted followers are on the brink of uncovering truths about Henry and Julia, whose lives were truncated by a car crash, leaving Claire an orphan during her childhood years. Following the tragedy, Claire found a new home with her Uncle Quentin 'Lamb' Lambert, enacted by George Kemp in Outlander: Blood of My Blood. Operating without the framework of an existing book, the prequel series afforded its writers significant creative freedom to craft the storyline. Additionally, the show promises to captivate newcomers unfamiliar with Outlander as well as satisfy the intrigue of long-standing watchers, presenting elements to appeal to both camps.
