Outlander prequel stars shed light on key time travel detail
Outlander enthusiasts have finally received a conclusive response to one of the most intriguing mysteries on the Starz historical drama series, reports the Express.
In a video shared on the Outlander Instagram account, stars Jeremy Irvine and Hermione Corfield, who portray Henry Beauchamp and Julia Moriston respectively, made a significant disclosure.
The pair read out fan theories from the internet suggesting that both Henry and Julia were time travellers.
They then confirmed these theories as accurate, with Corfield stating: "We both time travel. We also both get into a car crash," and Irvine chiming in with: "You nailed it."
The video was captioned: "Nothing is more satisfying than having a long-awaited fan theory finally validated. #BloodOfMyBlood."
Following this confirmation, many Outlander fans began speculating, with one individual proposing: "So what if Claire's parents conceived her in the past but had to go back to 1918 for whatever reason had her and she's actually the original 200 year-old baby?".
Another speculated: "I'm theorizing here whether some Randall will disturb Henry and Julia's generation and make them move to France [sic]."
A third fan pondered: "What if they raised Faith? What if they will be reunited at season 8 with Claire? What if ... OMG Can't wait [sic]."
Yet another queried: "So are they still in the past could we meet an older couple that are Claire parents as they never made it back to her brianna with her maternal grandparents too [sic]."
Another person chimed in: "One theory of time travel is the traveler is thinking of someone who's in the past so was Claire thinking of her parents? I don't think Jamie alone could have pulled her back in time."
This clip has sparked further intrigue following years of fan theories about the fate of Claire Fraser's (portrayed by Caitríona Balfe) parents, who were presumed dead following a car accident in Outlander.
The question of whether time travel runs in families within the Outlander universe has led to speculation about whether one or both of Claire's parents had the ability to traverse through the stones.
Diana Gabaldon, the creator of Outlander, has previously expressed disinterest in delving into the backstory of Claire's parents, thus leaving much to fans' imaginations.
However, it seems that the scriptwriters for Outlander: Blood of My Blood have decided to tackle this mystery head-on, with the new trailer revealing that Claire's parents indeed journey through the stones after their honeymoon in Scotland ends in a car crash.
In the upcoming narrative, Henry is on a quest to locate Julia, who finds herself adrift in the 18th-century Scottish Highlands, where she meets Ellen MacKenzie (played by Harriet Slater), caught in the throes of a clandestine affair with Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy).
Outlander: Blood of My Blood premieres on Starz on August 8 and on Prime Video via MGM+ on August 9

Mary Berry's one ingredient steak cooking hack makes it extra tender in just 4 minutes
The former Great British Bake Off judge has shared her recipe for fillet steak with peppercorn sauce - and it's so simple to make, even beginners can do it For those who fancy a bit of posh nosh without the faff, Mary Berry 's fillet steak with peppercorn sauce is a sure-fire winner. It's a dish that screams sophistication but often leaves home cooks in a tizz over the potential for a culinary disaster – nobody wants a tough, overcooked steak, especially when it costs you a pretty penny. Fear not, Mary Berry's got your back with her foolproof recipe that promises a mouth-watering meal. The cooking doyenne herself has said: "Make a fillet steak that's already special even more special with Mary Berry's classic peppercorn sauce. "This make-ahead sauce is a lifesaver if you want to cook a special dinner without spending all night in the kitchen." Here's how to rustle up Mary Berry's fillet steak with peppercorn sauce: Ingredients (serves four): Four fillet steaks 50g butter, at room temperature Salt and freshly ground pepper For the sauce: 100ml beef stock Half a garlic clove, crushed Two tablespoons of brandy One tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce One tablespoon of Dijon mustard 150ml double cream Half a teaspoon of crushed black peppercorns Two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley Method As reported by the Express, you'll need four fillet steaks, 50g of butter softened to room temperature, and a good pinch of salt and freshly ground pepper for seasoning. For the sauce, grab 100ml of beef stock, half a crushed garlic clove, two tablespoons of brandy, one tablespoon each of Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, 150ml of double cream, half a teaspoon of crushed black peppercorns, and two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley. To get started, press down on the steaks until they're about 1cm thick, then season them as you like with salt and pepper. Crank up your frying pan or griddle pan on high heat until it's smoking hot. Rather than dolloping butter into the pan, spread it right onto the steak – this trick keeps burning at bay and infuses the meat with extra yumminess. Give each side a sizzling two-minute sear, and you're on your way to steak heaven. After a couple of minutes, loosely wrap it in foil to let it rest and stay warm. For the sauce, pour the stock into a saucepan, bring it to a boil and simmer until it's reduced by half. Toss in the garlic, brandy, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, cream and peppercorns. Give it a good stir and bring it back to a rolling boil on high heat. Season with a pinch of salt and let it bubble away until it thickens to the consistency of pouring cream, then fold in the parsley. To serve, dish out the steaks onto four plates, drizzle over the sauce and pair with a side of chips and greens.

Fundraiser gig for Optimo DJ Keith McIvor to take place this weekend
Keith McIvor, also known as JD Twitch – one half of the Glasgow duo Optimo – announced his diagnosis last week, saying that he will be prioritising spending time with his family. Writing on Instagram, he said: 'Over the past few weeks I have received lots of enquiries about my health having missed several gigs since being admitted to the hospital. Glasgow clubbing duo Optimo 'Following extensive tests I've been diagnosed with a brain tumour and I have been told my condition is untreatable. As you can imagine, I am currently trying to process this news and prioritising spending precious time with the people I love.

READ MORE: Trump Organisation hold talks to discuss Open returning to Turnberry A crowdfunder to raise money for McIvor's ongoing care and access to therapies to manage and ease his symptoms was launched by his family. It has surpassed its initial target of £50,000 since it was launched, raising more than £87,500 at the time of writing. His family said the fundraiser would continue to stay open amid the "uncertainty" around the full extent of care costs. Any excess funds from the fundraiser will be shared equally between four causes: Glasgow NW Foodbank, the Coalition for Racial Equality and Rights, Brains Trust and Taki's Shelter in Crete. And on Wednesday, it was announced that a special live music event will take place this weekend at Queen's Park Arena to raise further funds. The event, taking place in collaboration with Optimo Music, will take place on Sunday and will feature sets from Tony Morris, Semispecific Ensemble and GK Machine. Originally planned by McIvor himself as a fundraiser for Glasgow NW Foodbank, the event will now also support his ongoing treatment and care. The portion of proceeds initially intended for the foodbank will still be donated as planned. Tickets begin at £0.50 and are available via the Skiddle website. There are also ticket options with a £5 or £10 donation included.

Keith's presence and influence changed many lives – including mine. "This is a chance for us to return that care and energy, and to support him and his family when it matters most. A true musical mentor and inspiration to us all." Glasgow clubbing duo Optimo (Image: Matthew Arthur Williams) Along with Jonnie Wilkes, McIvor ran Optimo Espacio, regarded as one of the city's most loved club nights, for 13 years between 1997 and 2010 at the legendary Sub Club venue. Originally from Edinburgh, he moved to Glasgow to attend university, and began to DJ at the same time. McIvor's Optimo club nights went on to establish a reputation for its eclectic music and became one of Scotland's most popular club nights. The duo continued to DJ, playing festivals and gigs around the world, but McIvor's condition meant that he was unable to play at Optimo's recent shows, including their own festival, Watching Trees.

In the sixth episode of her documentary series, Molly-Mae opened up about her relationship, which she believes is "worth saving", following Tommy's admission that his drinking was the root cause of their surprising split last summer. Molly-Mae voiced her concerns about rushing things with Tommy, preferring to take "things slow". She remarked: "I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I'm willing to ride the wave. And that's not something that everyone wants to do, but it's something that I'm willing to do because I want my family. He's just really different these days." The Love Island pair have both opened up on Tommy's difficulties with alcohol, admitting it was the main reason for their shock break-up last year. Molly-Mae added: "Obviously, he knows it's the drink. He's not drank now for what, four months? "I don't think the drink's gone away forever. Do I think that drink could still be a problem for us, potentially? "Yeah, but I think the break-up showed Tommy that I'm serious. He's just really different these days." The pair have been spotted soaking up some downtime with Tommy's half-brother, Tyson, his wife Paris, and their brood of seven. They recently set off for a refreshing long weekend on the Isle of Man, sharing their escapades across social media. Molly-Mae graced her Instagram stories with several adorable pictures. Among them was a charming black and white photo of herself cradling her two-year-old daughter, Bambi, as well as a snap of Tommy behind the wheel, cruising under the island's sunny skies.

As their idyllic getaway drew to a close, Molly-Mae posted a touching picture of the sunset over the sea from their boat ride home. It featured Bambi giving a cheeky glance at her dad while they both enjoyed ice creams, accompanied by a simple globe emoji in the caption. Continuing her updates, she took to her Instagram Story once more, striking a pose in a crisp white vest top matched with dark green Adidas joggers and heels, announcing "back to the city". Molly-Mae didn't stop there; she also uploaded the images to her main Instagram feed, addressing her multitude of followers with the caption: "Coffee first. Always." The comments section was full of praise for Molly-Mae. One fan praised her sense of style, writing: "The only girl I know that could wear adidas with heels and make it work!" Another gushed: "The ultimate cool girl." A third said: "Never would have put those shoes with those trousers but dammm it EATS." A fourth wrote: "Adidas and heels? I'm here for it." Meanwhile, another added: "How do you make everything look good???".
