Even seasoned actors like Sam Heughan and Sophie Skelton aren't immune to the unpredictable challenges of TV production. The duo, who play Jamie and Brianna Fraser on the hit series "Outlander," recently had to re-shoot a critical scene due to unforeseen circumstances that disrupted the original filming.
Weather Woes
The scene in question, a poignant moment from season four, involved Jamie and Brianna having a heart-to-heart about her traumatic experience with the villainous Stephen Bonnet. Originally filmed in an outdoor setting, the shoot was plagued by inclement weather that rendered the footage unusable. According to executive producer Matthew B. Roberts, the team initially tried to film Sam Heughan’s part on a day with good weather, but by the time they moved on to Sophie Skelton’s lines, they were hit with sleet and hail.
Commitment to Quality
Rather than compromising on the quality of this significant scene, the production team made the tough decision to reschedule and re-shoot. Roberts emphasized the importance of maintaining the high standards of the show, noting that even though the audience may never realize the difference, the consistency in the actors' performances and the visual quality were paramount.
