"Outlander" star Caitriona Balfe recently sat down to discuss the differences between Claire Randall's relationship with her first husband Frank Randall and her second husband Jamie Fraser.
Balfe told TV Guide that Claire's relationship with Jamie is a completely different entity than her relationship with Frank.
"I always saw Claire's relationship with Jamie as a different entity than her relationship with Frank," the actress explained. "When Claire first met Frank, yes there was love there and it is a true love, but I always see Claire as a girl at that point. There's a balance of power there and Frank is more like the teacher while Claire is the student."
In comparison, Balfe pointed out that Jamie and Claire are the kind of couple whose love story becomes legendary.
"When Claire and Jamie meet each other, that's a very equal love," she said. "It is bigger than both of them and it spans both time and space. That's the true soulmates."
Balfe also sat down with her "Outlander" co-star Sam Heughan to discuss the upcoming second season with E!Online.
Heughan hinted that "Outlander" season two is going to explore how Claire and Jamie's relationship matures as they struggle to stop the Jacobite rebellion led by Prince Charles Stuart.
"It feels more complex in a way," he explained. "These relationships have developed and our relationship has certainly gone into a new place."
Balfe added that Claire knows Jamie is still struggling with his post-traumatic stress disorder after being tortured by Black Jack Randall and becomes his champion.
"Claire's focus is really to sort of help him get over that trauma by trying to inspire him and give him this mission of trying to change history. Claire is very much his champion in a sense," she explained. "There's this massive undertaking that they've set out to do, and it's not always pretty, but they feel like they're working for the greater good."
The "Outlander" season two premiere will air on Saturday, April 9, at 9 p.m. on STARZ.
