Caitriona Balfe reveals more on her thoughts about how Outlander will end

Sadly, we all know that Outlander will have to end at some point.

Though (hopefully) still a long way off, it hasn't stopped fans from speculating about when it will happen.

With the series set to be ten books in total, many hope that with each getting a corresponding season of the show, we'll have our favourites gracing our screens for a while yet.

However, Caitriona Balfe, who stars as Claire Fraser, has never been shy of offering her views on how it should end for her character.

And it seems she expects it to be like one of the great tragedies such as the Gaelic tale of Dierdre or even Romeo and Juliet.

Speaking with Digital Spy, she explained that both Claire and Jamie will have to go out together.

She said: “I think it has to be a Romeo and Juliet moment, right, where we are both together, or a Naoise and Deirdre moment where Jamie and Claire sort of lie down together and slowly drift off.

“I don’t think one can survive without the other and I don’t think Claire will leave him at all.

"Nobody is eternal, so at some point, someone is going to have to croak it so they might as well do it together!"

Sharing that trademark wit that she and Sam have become known for, the Irish star also joked that maybe the show will have them "turn into turtles" or something else that "lives for hundreds of years" so they can be together under the sea.

The Belfast star added that though Sam may know the ending for his character – she revealed author and creator Diana Gabaldon has already told him – Cait is happy to find out when she gets there.

She said: "I think she has told Sam something about his character, but then I think he is just really nosy and he badgered her!

"I'm quite happy to let the mystery live, and just find out when I need to find out."
