00:00 Outlander star Catriona Balfe on where her relationship with Sam Heughan stands today.
00:05 Catriona Balfe, one half of the dynamic duo that fuels Outlander's soul-stirring romance,
00:10 is opening up about her long-standing relationship with co-star Sam Heughan.
00:14 As the hit series approaches its final season, many fans are curious about the real-life friendship behind the on-screen chemistry.
00:20 Their camaraderie has captivated audiences and been instrumental in the show's success.
00:24 But where they stand today, Balfe offered a revealing glimpse into a bond that's withstood the test of time, on and off set.
00:31 Catriona Balfe and Sam Heughan developed a strong relationship early in their Outlander days.
00:36 The sweeping romance between Jamie and Claire has significantly contributed to Outlander's soaring popularity.
00:42 Executive producer Merrill Davis attributes much of this to the palpable rapport between Heughan and Balfe right from the get-go.
00:49 Davis emphasized that getting the casting right for Jamie and Claire was vital, recalling a key conversation with co-producer Ron D. Moore in Scotland.
00:57 They knew they were on the right track when they first saw Balfe's audition material.
01:00 However, their in-person interaction in Los Angeles solidified their confidence in the duo's chemistry.
01:06 According to Glasgow Live, Davis observed that their connection wasn't just limited to the screen but was equally discernible off-camera.
01:13 "I remember it like it was yesterday. The chemistry was there and ain't always, and they can speak to this more than I can.
01:18 But that friendship and that chemistry has always been so evident and they just work so well together.
01:23 And you see it on the screen and you see it in real life and that relationship," Davis shared.
01:28 Davis hoped the actors' friendship would endure throughout the show.
01:31 With the series heading into its final season, Heughan and Balfe's friendship is stronger than ever.
01:36 The relationship between these Outlander stars has only gotten better over the years.
01:40 Davis highlighted that the bond between Balfe and Heughan has remained steadfast and perhaps even strengthened as the show moves toward its final chapter.
01:47 The Outlander EP admired the duo, pointing out that their unique experience and steadfast friendship have been pillars of the show's dynamics.
01:55 Balfe, also present at the event, shared that she and Sam had made a deliberate decision early on to support each other unconditionally.
02:02 She noted that while they had moments of disagreement, the underlying friendship has always prevailed weirdly, like we've never had a falling out.
02:09 "We definitely irked each other. I think it was a very conscious decision in the beginning," Balfe stated.
02:14 According to those familiar with them, the actors have compatible personalities and share a serious commitment to their craft.
02:20 They're well-prepared but also know how to keep things light on set.
02:23 Balfe rounded off by saying that, despite busy schedules, a foundation of their friendship has remained unwavering.
02:29 A closer look at Sam Heughan and Catriona Balfe's recent public appearances.
02:33 Over the years, Heughan and Balfe have made numerous public appearances to drum up excitement for upcoming Outlander seasons.
02:40 In March 2022, they graced the red carpet at North Hollywood's Wolf Theatre in celebration of the show's sixth season premiere.
02:47 Fast forward to June and the duo appeared arm-in-arm at the New York City premiere for the show's seventh season.
02:53 On that occasion, they also struck poses with the rest of the cast prior to the film showing.
02:57 For the event, Heughan sported a sophisticated monochromatic black suit, while Balfe opted for a chic black dress, accentuating her ensemble with a deep red velvet handbag.
03:07 After the premiere, People reported that Heughan shared his enthusiasm about returning to the show.
03:12 The Outlander star said they were delighted to continue the saga.
