00:00Yes, karma works real fast.
00:04Katrina and I used to take the mick out of Richard
00:06because he had to drive one of the, in his defence,
00:08it's a double clutch car,
00:10one of the old Fords, I think it was, in season two.
00:14And we always joke, because it was a very emotional scene
00:15where we're sending Claire back in time
00:17and it's at the Stones,
00:18and it's really emotional for Brianna and for Claire.
00:21And all we could hear was just this poor car
00:24just being broken
00:25as it's driven around the corner by Richard.
00:27And then I got behind the wheel of Brianna's Mustang
00:32and I don't know if I just couldn't reach the pedal
00:35very well, but I was stalling the car very much
00:37and Richard had a great time with that and videoed it.
00:40And then I hit some black ice and nearly destroyed Lillebroch,
00:43which I don't think anybody actually knows that yet,
00:45but it happened.
00:47So yeah, Lillebroch was nearly not standing anymore
00:50because I drove my Mustang into the notch.
00:53I think it was one of my favourite seasons,
00:56season seven,
00:57because I think it's one of the first times
00:58that we see Brianna.
01:00We've seen her in her role as a mother before,
01:03but I think this season, she just feels so settled
01:05and so content with who she is.
01:08And I'm really proud of that side of her.
01:09And so I think one of the scenes that I loved
01:11was at the beginning
01:12when she finds out about Mandy's heart condition.
01:14And I think just the way that Brianna handles
01:16information like that, she's not hysterical.
01:20Other times, I think she'd be too stoic
01:22and hide everything she's feeling,
01:23but to see her break down in front of Claire
01:25and to see her vulnerabilities come out,
01:26but still handle everything with such grace
01:29is just something that I love about her.
01:34Will she die?
01:39Probably.
01:49There's no way to be sure,
01:51but it will get worse as time goes on.
01:54And without surgery?
01:56Probably.
02:05Can you fix it?
02:10No, I can't.
02:14Even with Aether?
02:16No.
02:20Yeah, well, I think this has been
02:21such a big part of our lives as well.
02:23It kind of often all mushes into one.
02:25So especially with us splitting season seven and two,
02:29and then obviously we shot season eight
02:30while season seven was airing.
02:32And so we're all a little bit discombobulated.
02:35Thankfully, I think we've kept any spoilers to a minimum.
02:38Yeah, a little bit.
02:40I think it's interesting though,
02:42because it is still such a different world.
02:43And so that show I think is beautiful
02:46that it plays on the characters
02:47that we already know and love,
02:48but it does very much stand alone as well.
02:50And so there's only so much of our wisdom
02:53that we can impart on them,
02:55but more just the lay of the land and of Scotland
02:57and just of how to treat the crew and stuff.
03:01I think it's such a good camaraderie on set
03:04that we have between the cast and crew.
03:05And hopefully that torch will carry on with them.
03:08Is he watching?
03:09Then yes, if he's not watching.
03:10No, I actually haven't yet.
03:11I'm terrible.
03:12I've not been watching anything.
03:13Is that the couple next door?
03:14Yeah, it's on my list.
