Caitriona “Claire Randall Fraser” Balfe in an Elle.com interview, shares with Elissa Strauss how she is like Claire, talks the connection to modern women, the wedding night sex, what drew her to Claire, and more.
On Claire, “She likes to get dirty, have a drink, and sexuality is a big part of her life.” Caitriona Balfe
Amen sister.

Diana Gabaldon has given the world one of the most amazing female character’s ever written.
Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp Randall Fraser is a woman ahead of her time. She is an equal. Brainy, protective, fierce, strong, capable, courageous, and passionate. She stands up for what she believes in. She wields leadership well. She loves deeply.
A feminist. A woman. A lover. A friend. A wife. A warrior. A healer. A mother.
Caitriona Balfe brings her to life with complexity and depth. She embodies our beloved Claire.
The Scotland Now article includes the TV Guide video interview featuring Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, and Ronald D. Moore being interviewed about the love story between Jamie and Claire.
The slow burn to the marriage, the relationship, and yes the wanting, the sex, is definitely a worthy ride.
I agree that this the greatest love story among many other adjectives.
Enjoy the screen captures below.
Season 1 has not finished airing by half yet, but every time I see a Twitter post from Matt Roberts or Maril Davis about Season 2 work being done, I figuratively and sometimes literally squeal.
It is surely a readers response.
Dragonfly in Amber introduces so many pivotal characters.
Brianna Ellen Randall (Fraser)
Roger MacKenzie Wakefield (wee Roger grown)
Fergus
Master Raymond
Alexander Randall
Mother Hildegarde
Fiona Graham
Lord John Grey (a taste)
Bonnie Prince Charles
………..among many others
The mere thought of seeing ALL of them in the flesh is beyond delight.
Paris. Oh my. The court. The contrast to the streets. The hospital. Intrigue. Sex. Violence. Healing. Grief. Oh yes it will be magnificent.
The build from Season 1, I believe will surpass even the fervor of the premiere itself.
For now I dream of each while waiting quite impatiently for the rest of Season 1.
From Outlander Starz
Yes she is unforgettable and more!
Our Claire. My Claire. Your Claire.
She is timeless. She passes through time. She is so many things.
Love her. Like her. Want to be her.
