New times and places! Throughout Outlander’s tenure, Claire Randall and the rest of the Fraser family have traveled through time — from 18th century Scotland to 20th century America.The Starz drama — which premiered in August 2014 — introduced viewers to combat nurse Claire Randall (Caitriona Balfe) as she’s swept back in time from 1945 to 1793.

There, she meets chivalrous Scottish warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and the rest of the Outlander characters.

Throughout the years, the drama series — based on Diana Gabaldon’s 13-book franchise — chronicled Claire’s time-traveling exploits across the globe.“Claire is a woman of the ’40s, so I did a lot of research about nurses who worked on the front lines in the Second World War,” the Belfast actress told UPI about portraying the literary heroine in September 2014. “I found some great books that gave first-hand accounts of that and I got to meet with an herbalist and, of course, Diana’s book is kind of the bible for us all.”Balfe continued at the time: “We talked a lot about, ‘What would Claire’s life have been like if she hadn’t gone through the stones?’ … I strongly believe she wouldn’t have been happy if they had moved to Oxford and he had taken up his teaching post and she had been this stay-at-home wife, who had a hobby on the side.

I don’t think she would have been able to survive in that. So, in a weird way, this kind of gave her the opportunity to become the best version of herself.
