Outlander star Lauren Lyle has been inundated with support from fans after she revealed that she had filmed her final scenes for the show’s eighth season.
As Outlander’s season 7 second half is set to premiere on Starz this fall, the cast is wrapping up filming for the show’s final season.
While Caitriona Balfe and Sam Heughan, who play Claire and Jamie Fraser respectively, are preparing for an emotional goodbye after more than ten years together on-screen, others have already filmed their last scenes.
The series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon’s novels, first captivated audiences in 2014. Lauren Lyle, who portrays Marsali Fraser, received a flood of support from fans as she recently bid adieu to the series.
Lauren took to Instagram to express her feelings, sharing behind-the-scenes photos in costume, a sweet group selfie with co-stars, and a snapshot of herself post-filming, heading home by train with a large bouquet of flowers. Her caption read: “Today was my last ever day on @outlander_starz.”
She reflected on the journey, saying, “It had been 3 years since I last shot on the show when they asked me back for a turn on this final season. It’s now been 8 years since I got cast… I really don’t know what to say.”
“My life has changed on this show. Truly different lives lived. I’m so grateful for Marsali Fraser and all that came with her. For all your support and stories.”
Lauren also added a playful note: “See how I played the devil’s child that turned good? Very mindful, very demure.”
Fans quickly swarmed the comments to show their support for the actress, praising her performance as Marsali throughout the series.
“We’ll miss you and thanks for such a great job,” one fan expressed, while another chimed in: “Loved your character and the way you played her! Thank you!!!”
