FILMING SCENES WHERE all hell breaks loose is all in a day's work for the cast of the Starz adventure-romance Outlander. But filming them while nearly seven months' pregnant? In Season 6, that distinction was reserved for Caitriona Balfe, who plays time-traveling 20thcentury surgeon Claire Fraser, married to Highlander Jamie (Sam Heughan). The good-humored actress describes one of the tougher days toward the end of the shoot, when her bump was biggest: "There was lots of gun shooting-Claire was shooting a few herself-and squibs flying. One of the funniest bits was, I had to get up from the ground, just get up. We did that take multiple times. I was struggling.”
