outlander_forumFrom Variety, please listen to this podcast interview with Caitriona Balfe and Tobias Menzies as they discuss Claire and Frank's character progression in season 3.
Balfe added that it was important to the writers and actors to convey that Frank and Claire’s relationship wasn’t doomed from the start.
“We really wanted to retain the fact that at a certain point, this was a happy and productive relationship,” she explained. “That had Claire not experienced something that was so much deeper and touched her soul rather than just touched her heart, she probably could’ve come back and been very happy with Frank. For Frank, having learned of the betrayal, it’s hard to move past that. But at the same time, they’re two people who have a lot of respect for each other, maybe not in the passionate sense but in the platonic sense, it’s there.”
