Speaking to Dipp, author Gabaldon opened up about the onscreen changes and revealed: “Book Claire probably wouldn’t have done that.
“For multiple reasons, including the not-inconsiderable physical risks of doing it, addiction being a notable one, God knows the woman is entitled to some.”
She continued: “We’re always dealing with a big difference between books and shows to wit, space and time.
“I have all the time I need for Claire and other people to deal with trauma in various ways, and Claire’s usual means of doing that is Jamie.”
Outlander is available in the US on Starz and available in the UK on Starzplay.
