Sophie Skelton Was Once ‘Embarrassed’ About Being a Ballerina—Here’s Why She’s ‘Grateful’ For It Now

or Outlander fans who have come to know Sophie Skelton in her role as Brianna Fraser over the years, it’s probably easier to envision her chopping wood on Fraser’s Ridge versus standing up on a pair of pointe shoes—but we live for duality, and Skelton, of course, is more than capable of both.

BTS: 606 The World Turned Upside Down

Caitriona wore three different wigs over the course of filming this episode, which conveyed the passage of time before and after her hair was chopped off by Mrs. Bug and Malva.

I’m a little disappointed we haven’t gotten to see Mrs. Bug more especially since, I believe, she’s going to come up (or is supposed to) later.

Man in Jail

Who is the man in the jail? He stole one of Flora MacDonald’s emeralds from her necklace which suggests he was actually after the stone and not the necklace. As we know, gem stones are needed for steering and protection through the stones.

Claire hears him whistling “Colonel Bogey March” which was a song that came about in 1914 but became the anthem of WWII. This proves the man isn’t from the 18th century.

Outlander Season 7 has begun filming

It’s official. Season 7 has begun filming. I’m thinking that means a much smaller droughtlander. Thank goodness.

I’ve heard fans worrying about Outlander not getting an eighth season but I’m not that concerned. We can’t really reference the live viewer ratings as that is all they are and how many of you stream? Streamers aren’t contributing to that number and we aren’t privy to the streaming numbers.

Outlander’s Andrew Gower Returns to the Role of Bonnie Prince Charlie

A familiar face returns to Outlander tonight, but you might not immediately recognize him. In the opening scenes of this evening’s episode, actor Andrew Gower reprises his role of Bonnie Prince Charlie in a flashback, showing how he escaped to the Isle of Skye, with the help of Flora MacDonald—and a clever disguise. The scene, while hard to believe, is straight out of a history book. Indeed, MacDonald helped the Young Pretender (aka Charles Edward Stuart) escape to Skye by dressing him as her servant in women’s clothes.

Trail of Tears

“Some sixty years from this time, yer people will be taken from their lands, from the bones of their ancestors, and removed to a new place, far from here. Many will die on this journey, so that the path they tread will be called… the trail where they wept.”

Did Jamie change anything? With the knowledge does Chief Bird pass the information down making his tribe the 800 who were not removed during the Trail of Tears?
