Claire insists to everyone Jamie, Bree (Sophie Skelton), Marsali (Lauren Lyle), etc.
that she’s fine.
But she’s keeping an insidious secret.
“We did not feel we just wanted to drop it.
“When that came up to use the ether,” Davis continues.
“We will see this escalate as the season progresses,” teases Davis.
What of the other potential demons for the Frasers to battle?
The new and mysterious Christie clan.
Jamie is such a natural leader.
When he first comes to Ardsmuir, he just wants to be left alone.
But Ardsmuir just won’t let him rest.
Tom is not a natural born leader and has taken over, and it caused a lot of conflict.
“Tom comes in and the same conflict arises,” says Davis.
“Tom wants to erect a church.
Jamie is this very progressive man in a very non-progressive time.
Tom’s going to be a thorn in his side throughout the entire season.”
But should we fear Tom Christie as more than merely a hard-headed religious rabble-rouser?
“He’s very rigid.
He’s not like Jamie and Claire.
Tom has never really fit in.
He’s never had a great love, like Jamie has for Claire.
There’s so many things he’s resentful about.”
“Resentment, rigidity.
These traits are always something to fear,” she concludes.
“Because it’s bringing bad feeling into the Ridge.
So that’s going to definitely seep over.”
Outlanderairs Sundays at 9 p.m. on Starz.
