![]() ![]() “It’s very much something that happens to them as a couple and as a family that is the catalyst for this entire season,” Rankin says. Roger and Brianna have a difficult choice to make to keep their family safe and healthy. Jamie and Claire are not the only ones faced with hard times. I don’t know if we would’ve done that had we filmed Alan and Malva in Season Six and left it there.” We wanted to remind the audience what had happened because we’ve been away from that story for quite a bit. ![]() We wanted to show it on screen because that storyline originally was supposed to be completed in Season 6. God, I could watch all day,” Davis says “In the books, Alan talks about his relationship with Malva but you don’t actually see it described. I love, love, love the Tom Christie and Claire scenes.

It wasn’t just a battle for a battle’s sake. And also just to me, grounded each of the battles. “We have several battles this season, we filmed each of the battles from character perspectives, and by doing so, it personalized it, it made it more manageable to wrap our heads around. “Portraying the Revolutionary War was actually a really exciting thing to do,” Davis explains. ![]()
