‘Outlander’ Exclusive: Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe Say Goodbye to a Fan Favorite

Outlander is one of the most tumultuous romances on television, balancing ecstatic highs with tragic lows. On the last season of Outlander, a number of our favorites were put in peril, Claire (Caitriona Balfe) suffered horrific sexual violence, and one longtime cast member bid farewell to the show. Murtagh (Duncan Lacroix) was finally killed off Outlander. Although hardcore fans knew the Scottish warrior was on borrowed time — since his death occurs much earlier in the Diana Gabaldon books — that didn’t soften the blow of losing him.

Of course, the characters of Outlander didn’t just lose Murtagh. The cast of the show lost Duncan Lacroix, too. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes clip from the Outlander Digital/Blu-ray release, we see a touching tribute to the one man who was always there for Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and his beloved Claire. Stars Caitriona Balfe, Sam Heughan, and Sophie Skelton all reflect on the impact Lacroix’s character had on the show. Finally, there’s a special message for fans from Murtagh himself.

The clip is part of the awesome bonus features you can get if you purchase Outlander Season 5 on Blu-ray.
