‘Outlander’ Star Sophie Skelton on What it Means for Brianna to Be Back in the Future

Sophie Skelton on the differences in Brianna between the past and the future, the false sense of security in the present, and what it was like to be isolated from the rest of the cast.

Traveling through the stones has a lot of side effects for the time travelers in Outlander—loud buzzy noises, heart palpitations, and the like, but luckily for Brianna (Sophie Skelton) and Roger MacKenzie (Richard Rankin) and their two kids, they are good travelers. They don’t experience whiplash in going from the 1770s back to the 1900s, which they did in last week’s episode in order for their infant daughter Mandy to have necessary heart surgery that Claire (Caitríona Balfe) isn’t able to perform. But there’s also the comfort factor of being in familiar surroundings.
