Here is a NEW Interview with Maril Davis From Parade
From Parade:
When Outlander returns for its sixth season on Starz beginning Sunday, March 6, fans will finally witness the aftermath of Season 5’s heinous attack on Claire (Caitriona Balfe). What happens next with her and husband Jamie (Sam Heughan) as they deal with the fallout? In a departure from the Diana Gabaldon novel, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, on which Season 6 is based, more focus will be placed on Claire’s struggles to recover and deal with what we would today label PTSD.
More after the jump!
When we read the books, it’s dealt with in little bits and bobs here and there, but she never really deals with it,” Outlander executive producer Maril Davis exclusively tells Parade. “And it felt like such a traumatic experience that it didn’t seem like we could ignore that, and it didn’t seem like we did justice to the character if we did. And so, we really leaned into that. I think the writers did an amazing job with coming up with this coping mechanism for Claire.”
Along with showrunner Matthew B. Roberts, Davis brought Balfe (who is also a producer on the show) into the conversation to make sure they were all in sync with how to deal with the fact that Claire, despite knowing that Jamie and the men of Fraser’s Ridge had killed all her captors, is having flashbacks.
Loved the interview with Maril.Davis. Season 6 hasn’t hit the screen yet and here I am saying Season 7 will be as awesome, because of the added-on episodes from Season 6 which will make Season 7 have more episodes. Thank you for sharing the interview.
