"It is quite an unusual scene given its content, but really at the end of the day it is about having those conversations with the actors about 'what is this moment of storytelling, what are we trying to say here,' and how do we physically go about telling that story being really true to the physicality of those characters," she says. Gathered family in the next room, including Jamie, quickly find ways to leave so they can no longer hear Marsali's moans (which by this point are clearly less about the pain of labour and more about what her husband is doing).īefore a bemused Claire makes her exit, Fergus explains that he's actually helping his wife because such stimulation can help bring labour along and reduce the pain as well (and man of the world Fergus should know – remember, he grew up in a French brothel and was raised by the experienced women there). While Marsali is in labour, Fergus fondles and sucks his wife's breasts in such a sensual way that far-from-prudish Claire – who is in the room acting as midwife – has to excuse herself to give them some privacy. Although the couple already have a few kids running around on screen, this is the first time they've been shown being really intimate in the show, and the eyebrow-raising part is that it all happens while Marsali is in labour with their child. Taken directly from the sixth book in Diana Gabaldon's series, A Breath Of Snow And Ashes, the scene involves husband and wife Fergus (César Domboy) and Marsali (Lauren Lyle).
