Period dramas are currently enjoying popularity as of late and Starz's "Outlander" is one that is definitely getting a lot of attention and critical praise. Now in its break after the first half of its first season, actress Laura Donnelly who will be playing Jamie Fraser's sister Jenny teases fans with a possible friendship between her character and main lead Claire.
In an exclusive interview with Fashion&Style, Donnelly dished that she will be sharing some scenes with Caitriona Balfe who plays as the series' headstrong heroine, Claire Beauchamp Randall/Fraser. The actress shared that it is very much possible that Jenny will amuse her new found friend with embarrassing stories about Jamie as a child.
Asking to describe her character's relationship with Jamie, Donnelly described it to Yahoo News as "quite a feisty one" with the brother and sister continuously challenging each other. Still, the actress explained that there is no doubt love between the two despite them continuously clashing.
"It's that kind of typical brother/sister slight banging of heads and I think Jenny usually gets the upper hand."
She further dished that fans should expect a fiery argument between the siblings once Jamie brings home Claire to Lallybroch.
In other news, Balfe reveals why she believes Claire and Jaime's relationship are so special in an interview with TV Guide. According to the actress, it is a refreshing take that the couple started as friend's first and didn't immediately fall in love.
Additionally, she believes that the character's attitudes of constantly challenging each other to be their best is another reason why they can be considered as one of the best couples in television.
"Outlander", which is based on the first book of Diana Gabaldon's series will return onscreen on April 4 with 8 more episodes. Columbian.com reports that Starz has given the green light for a second season which will follow Gabaldon's novel "Dragonfly in Amber."
