Looking ahead: season 4 fantasy casting

[jo]

***THE FOLLOWING MAY CONTAIN POTENTIAL SPOILERS IF YOU'VE NOT READ DRUMS OF AUTUMN***

While season three hasn't quite yet hit the halfway mark, cast and crew are back in Scotland and have already started work on season 4. Since they tend to film pretty much in order, that means there are going to be some key casting decisions made soon or maybe already made but not announced.

While there will be a number of new characters introduced in season 4, there are two roles in particular that I am looking forward to see how they will cast. Those are Jamie's Aunt Jocasta, and, of course, Stephen Bonnet. Who would you like to see cast in either of those roles? Are there any other major new characters from Drums of Autumn that you are looking forward to seeing on-screen?

Roger Fans! Interview with Richard Rankin

[jo]

Here's a very nice interview with Richard Rankin from Parade.

When Claire tells her story about time travel, Roger believes it before Brianna. Why do you think Roger believes it?

 

No, he doesn’t. No he doesn’t, he doesn’t believe it. I think Roger is the kind of guy that keeps an open mind even in the face of impossibility. I think he’s the kind of guy that really gives people a lot of time and the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think he believed Claire at first. Roger’s an academic, he’s an historian, at that point in time I don’t think he believed that it was technically possible.
