David Berry on Lord John Grey in ‘Outlander’ Seasons Three and Four

In an interview with TV Line prior to the release of the Outlander season three DVD/Blu-ray, David Berry discusses his role as Lord John Grey during season three and the upcoming season four. There are spoilers in this interview about season four, so I would skip this post for now if you are a non-reader. Excerpts are below, but please head over to TV Line to read the entire interview.

TVLINE | I read an interview where you said you’ve read a lot of Diana Gabaldon’s Lord John novels and novellas. Have they given you any insights into the character that helped you portray him in Season 3?
Yeah. When I first stepped into the role, I hadn’t read anything, and then I went ahead and read as much as I could. And I don’t know, what did I really glean from it? You know so much is already there on the page. A lot of it is lifted from the books. When you read around it you get a better sense of the stuff that isn’t written there. One thing I guess: It informed my performance in the Governor’s ball sequences. [An extended] interaction between John and Claire that didn’t make it into the episode, that I still wanted to play a sense of that relationship or infuse it with a bit of that. That tonality that there’s tension between John and Claire, it isn’t really explicitly mentioned in the scripts per se, but it’s sort of in the unspoken dialogue between the three characters, John, Jamie, and Claire, and that history in the book helped with that performance.

TVLINE | I loved the scene toward the end of the season where, in one fell swoop, John nullifies Jamie’s arrest, dresses down the naval officer and forwards the plot. It also gave us a chance to see him a little bit more commanding than we had seen him previously. I know you can’t speak very freely about Season 4, but are there opportunities coming up where we’ll see that side of him again?
Well, that was an interesting scene, because I actually only had really a night to learn it, and I was thinking, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m never going to be able remember all these lines,’ which is frequently the case in Outlander. [Laughs] So I learnt it overnight and just gave it my best shot and I was pleased to see it came up so well. That was probably a nightmare for the editor to put together. I don’t think I ever did a full take where I said all the lines out. But what was great about it is that it just gave a sense that John is his own person and has his own agency and does command a little power. He’s not just a guy who is longing for unrequited love. In his own right he could probably have the pick of the bunch if he wanted, being the powerful guy he is.

It’s through his heart that he chooses to protect Jamie and to be that guy and to use his power, never abuse it — not like that at all — to help others, and that’s a bit of his conflict as well. I think that Capt. Leonard really had it coming. I think the audience really wanted to see that character get beaten down, but everything kind of lined up on my side to make it work, except for learning the lines. [Laughs]

TVLINE | In Book 4, Drums of Autumn, John comes to America. Again, I’m not going to ask you to talk about stuff you can’t speak about, but it has always struck me that John and Jamie these men live in a time when it is not easy to have a friendship that spans years and continents, and yet they manage to continue that bond and have it grow closer as the years pass. What do you think it is about them that allows for this to happen?
Well, they have a shared history. I think when a good friendship has some kind of shared trauma or shared experience that really binds two people closely together, and in this case being Ardsmuir. And then of course, Helwater, where Jamie entrusts John with his son, William, and that, of course, is one of the most compelling reasons to stay in touch with any friends… They also have a simpatico of a shared intellect and honor and just the way that they believe that in the moral forces of this world, whatever they are, however hard they are to see in this very brutal, 18th-century world. I think they share those things.

The 2019 ‘Outlander’ Calendars

It seems like it was just New Year’s, but the calendar industry is already preparing the 2019 versions. These preparations include the 2019 Outlander calendars, which will again have four versions for fans to choose from. There were no season three images used in the 2018 calendars because the season premiered too late to be included. The 2019 calendars will have season three images, but there more than likely will not be any season four images used for 2019, again, because of the fall premiere. The calendars are already available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

2019 Outlander 16-Month Wall Calendar – releases June 22, 2018, available for pre-order on Amazon and Barnes & Noble

2019 Outlander Boxed Daily Calendar – releases August 15, 2018, available for pre-order from Amazon and Barnes & Noble

‘Voyager’ 25th Anniversary Edition Coming October 2018

The 25th anniversary of Voyager is coming on December 1, 2018. Like the first two novels in the Outlander series, Voyager is getting its own 25th-anniversary edition. Due to be released October 23, 2018, the new edition has a new cover, introduction, and bonus materials for Diana Gabaldon fans. The edition is currently available for pre-order from Amazon.

Here is the blurb about this edition:

“A beautifully designed collector’s edition of the third book in Diana Gabaldon’s blockbuster Outlander series featuring a brand new introduction and bonus material to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its original publication.

In this rich, vibrant tale, Diana Gabaldon continues the story of Claire Randall and Jamie Fraser that began with the now-classic novel Outlander and continued in Dragonfly in Amber. Sweeping us from the battlefields of eighteenth-century Scotland to the exotic West Indies, Diana Gabaldon weaves magic once again in an exhilarating and utterly unforgettable novel.

Their passionate encounter happened long ago by whatever measurement Claire Randall took. Two decades before, she had traveled back in time and into the arms of a gallant eighteenth-century Scot named Jamie Fraser. Then she returned to her own century to bear his child, believing him dead in the tragic battle of Culloden. Yet his memory has never lessened its hold on her . . . and her body still cries out for him in her dreams.

Then Claire discovers that Jamie survived. Torn between returning to him and staying with their daughter in her own era, Claire must choose her destiny. And as time and space come full circle, she must find the courage to face the passion and the pain awaiting her . . . the deadly intrigues raging in a divided Scotland . . . and the daring voyage into the dark unknown that can reunite–or forever doom–her timeless love.”

That Missing Book Scene from the Season Two Finale May Return in Future Seasons

This is not a spoiler for non-readers, so no need to avert your eyes from this post. In Dragonfly in Amber, Jamie and Claire cut their initials into each other’s hands to remember each other. The scars that are left from this last encounter are referred to in future books. There were a lot of disappointed fans when this scene was not filmed or included in the season two finale. We have posted twice on this site in reference to this part of the book missing from the finale (click here and here).

The topic of the initials and the scars was brought up again at the press line at the Outlander FYC event. Considering other countries already had the season three DVDs, there were some eagle-eyed fans who spotted the initials on a deleted scene. It was revealed that they filmed a scene for season three that rectified this book omission, but ultimately, they cut it again. The interview below with Entertainment Tonight has Ronald D. Moore, Maril Davis, Sam Heughan, and Caitriona Balfe discussing the scene and how it may reappear in a future season.

‘Outlander’ For Your Consideration (FYC) Panel (Video & Photos)

In March, Starz took the first step in promoting Outlander season three for Emmy consideration with a panel comprised of the cast and crew. There was no screening, and this was only for members of the Television Academy to attend. Fans showed up outside the location to catch a glimpse of their faves, and there was a second panel where some of them were invited inside to watch.

The first panel was live-streamed for fans and other interested parties to see. The panel was comprised of Sam Heughan, Caitriona Balfe, Maril Davis, Ronald D. Moore, Toni Graphia, Matthew B. Roberts, and Jon Gary Steele.

Below are the photos that were shared with us after the event, plus the panel video, and relevant social media posts from that day. Sam Heughan took over the Outlander Instagram account to share his day with fans also. A few of the social posts also include short interviews.
