Here is a NEW Interview with Richard Rankin and Sophie Skelton from Entertainment Weekly
From EW:
Intimacy became a very complicated thing for Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger (Richard Rankin) in Sunday’s episode. In a heartbreaking adaptation of a key moment from Drums of Autumn — the fourth book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander book series on which this season is based — Roger reveals that he wants more than just casual sex with Brianna. That doesn’t go over so well with the daughter of Claire and Jamie, who finds his views toward intimacy both old-fashioned and maidenly hypocritical. Here, the actors share their thoughts about the scene and why both points of view are equally valid.
“She already has America in her blood,” says Balfe of Claire’s mindset when she and Jamie arrive in 1767 North Carolina. “She raised her daughter in America, she fulfilled a lifelong passion by becoming a doctor in America. She’s already an American in many ways. So when this idea to stay [presents itself], it’s a really strong pull for her.”
…
For Jamie, like so many immigrants to this country, becoming an American is the chance for a clean slate, something that he never would’ve had in Scotland as a former Highlander laird/outlaw: “I think for him, America is an opportunity, and they quickly realize that they could create a life here; going back to Scotland isn’t really a viable option,” says Heughan. “He’s always wanted to create a home and have a family – and he knows that by molding America into this new world is a way that he can have some sort of influence on [his daughter] Brianna in the future.”
