The haircutting was part of the process. Malva wanted to make
Outlander's Caitriona Balfe revealed producers turned down 'mullet' request. Caitriona's character Claire Fraser had her hair cut after falling ill in this week's episode.
It began in the form of a bad haircut, after Malva and housekeeper Mrs Bug cut Claire's hair off to ease the fever.
This is dysentery. Claire tells everyone that a contaminated water source most likely caused it, but after funeral upon funeral — the body count is high! — no one can seem to figure it out. And then Claire falls ill.
Regardless of Claire's on-screen age, wigs were incorporated into her hair and makeup protocol to achieve the character's look.
The haircutting was part of the process. Malva wanted to make Claire undesirable. She wanted to make Jamie turn to her instead of to his wife. We can get a sense of that from the way Claire worried about Jamie seeing her with the short, jagged hair.
The whiteness first occurred when Morgana's corruption began so maybe it's connected to Claire's magic. Claire's ability to use shadow magic was limited in Trollhunters, but her magic became more powerful in time and so the whiteness in her hair grew.
Jamie denies having slept with her, but the damage to his and to Claire's reputation is done—and the bond between the Frasers and Malva is severed, until just a few weeks later, when Claire finds Malva murdered in the garden. “It's like the peak of the tragedy, and it's so visceral.
Claire is about four years older than Jamie in Outlander
20, 1918. It was 1945 when she fell through the stones, and she would have been turning 27 that year. In the show, she has already turned 27 by the time she falls through the stones as the series is set in October rather than May at first.
Jamie: "Claire, it was you. It's always been you, and it always will be. Get into bed and put the candle out.
Balfe – known for her blunt, short bob – first shared a photo of cut off hair in her sink. “Had to be done!” she tweeted, before explaining she'd trimmed an inch off. Relating to the unsettling horror of seeing inches of your own hair in the sink, fans quickly requested a selfie to see the result. “You guys.
Caitriona Balfe shares struggles of shooting 'heavy' Outlander scenes while pregnant. Caitriona was expecting while filming the sixth series and recently opened up about the challenges of filming emotional scenes during her pregnancy.
About half way through the book, the protagonist, Claire, is violently beaten by her lover/husband, Jamie, as punishment for endangering him and his clan.
Director Brendan Maher told Vulture that while both Menzies and Heughan had stunt doubles for the physically demanding sequence, neither used them much. “We had people for safety, just in case, but the nature of the work is that you want the actors to do as much as they possibly can,” Maher said.
Jamie Fraser star Sam Heughan detailed the disastrous results of dyeing his hair which forced him to wear a wig.
Sadly, the long ginger curls of Jamie Fraser (played by Sam Heughan) are not real. Heughan wears mostly extensions and wigs to become Jamie Fraser in the series. Throughout the show's six-year history, Jamie has been seen with his hair curled, plaited and even had a fringe in season four.
“He's about 25,” Gabaldon said. It's an interesting response. If you're up to date on the series, then you know that Jamie is not dead at the age of 25.
To recap: By Gabaldon's timeline, Jamie and Claire's age difference is 5.5 years, while on the show, that age gap shrinks to 4.5 years.
Jamie and Claire tragically lost their first child, Faith, who was stillborn in season two. They then spend more time apart and are unable to raise their second daughter, Brianna, together. After the time jump, it's nice to see the Frasers finally have a large family.
The sex they have next is passionate, intense, and incredibly erotic. Claire obtains an orgasm, which surprises Jamie, and proves the two have crazy chemistry. (I mean, they go at it again before the episode is through.)
6. Claire sleeps with King Louis XV to free Jamie from the Bastille. When Jamie goes to jail for illegally dueling Black Jack Randall in Paris, he's imprisoned in the Bastille. Claire, who miscarried their daughter Faith, goes to meet the king and plead for him to free Jamie so they can return to Scotland.
During his time apart from Claire, Jamie slept with several women, including Mary McNab (Emma Campbell-Jones) and Geneva Dunsany (Hannah James). And of course, there was Laoghaire MacKenzie (Nell Hudson) as well who had her sights on Jamie since season one.
Claire eventually realizes that Malva is lying because she knows her husband well enough. Tom seems to question Malva's story.
But then — BUT THEN! — Claire's necklace turns black, signaling that Master Raymond slipped real poison into the cup.
After Claire sleeps with the King of France to save Jamie's life, when she leaves Versailles Palace, the last thing she does is pick up the orange and take it with her. It was a small gesture by Claire, a choice that symbolizes that she's leaving with her dignity.
