“We’re not together,” Caitriona told E! News exclusively today while promoting Outlander’s April return. “It’s funny. We’ve always said from the get go that we’re incredibly great friends.
And to have that friendship and that closeness and to be able to get along as we do on set, it’s great that we’re able to get along that well.”
“We’re not together. I’m sorry to break people’s hearts. They like to try to maybe replicate the Claire and Jamie story. But I think it would be difficult for us to work together and be together.”
“Yeah, we could try…” Sam interjected
“I think it’s strange isn’t it? because I think people buy into the show and I think we then say no we’re saying it’s just it’s not real, they feel like they’ve been duped. It’s like, ‘You acted it. You lied to us!’ And I’m like, ‘Well, sorry!’“
“OBVIOUSLY NOT TOGETHER”
“they were very upset that we’ve been lying most time.”
“It’s nice that people kind of see something in that, but you know, we’ve always just been friends.
And I said it from the beginning but people didn’t want to hear it!”
Yeah we are crazy right?
Too much gifs found around the web sorry! Credits @jamesandclairefraser @yellowfeather84 @lenaguffi @lallybroch-lass and IDK contact me and I will give you credits.
It was a good panel. The questions needed pre-approval so there were no awkward questions. This was good because for once no one mentioned the old kilt story😬. Sam is much more used to these types of events now. I saw him at his first Con in 2015 and I remember how carefree he was. Today, carelessness is calculated. He gives interesting answers, but always tries to put a joke at the end of everything. I found it interesting that he said he cried during the reading circle, when he heard the song ... It was a powerful moment for him and I can imagine how much it will hurt to say goodbye to Jamie Fraser. Yes, he talked about Caitríona being a director in the two private meetings and on the panel. Apparently nobody asked, but he made sure to include it. I took our photo from 2015 to him to autograph and his smile reminded me of the same smile he gave when he saw the sign we held for that photo. He wrote a thank you, in my native language before signing it. My gift, a Dad Jokes book, was also very well received. He was dressed normally (jeans and polo shirt), he didn't seem rushed, he took time for everyone during the private events, autographs and in the numerous photo sessions. A friend who went to Whiskey Taste said it was very good, very professional.
Caitriona is asked about fan interaction…she tells the story of the fans at the Blue Lagoon in Iceland looking to Eddie just before telling the story as if Eddie were there with her when it happened … @boyneriver
The last this, and the last that...it's breaking my heart!
To all our dear sister shippers who this weekend are going to share a unique experience: enjoy the madness that these days will be and travel safely, we want you back with a big smile on your faces 🥰
