Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe interview with Channel Guide Magazine
How refreshing was it to change everything – new set, new location, just starting over?
Caitriona Balfe: It was really exciting. It also can be a little daunting, as well, because you get so comfortable in one place and you get so comfortable in this sort of Scottish story, and Scotland very much felt like a character in the show. To depart so strongly from that was kind of strange in the beginning, but it also kept everything so fresh because we got this whole influx of amazing characters and fantastically talented actors. It mirrored the journey of Claire and Jamie because they are out of place in Paris, and they are trying on a new guise, in a sense. It was funny – I think we both felt quite a bit of relief, though, once we got back to Scotland, in a sense.
Sam Heughan: I think so. It’s an alien world for them, they are having to adjust and be different people in France. It is a very beautiful world that we’ve created. It looks spectacular and the costumes are amazing. However, going back to Scotland was almost a relief. It’s a bit more free and it’s a bit more comfortable, and it was a world that we already know. It’s familiar. It’s like going back to an old friend.
