<\/a> <\/div>\nDiehard Outlander<\/a> <\/em>followers have seen the video of its stars\u2019 chemistry take a look at. Now, Sam Heughan<\/a> and Caitriona Balfe<\/a>\u2018s Outlander<\/em> audition is getting more behind-the-scenes details from Heughan himself. The actor details the \u201cintense\u201d audition in his new memoir Waypoints: My Scottish Journey<\/em>.<\/p>\n In a new chapter excerpt, the star talks of their audition, a scene that would go on to become a beloved Jamie and Claire fight scene from Outlander <\/em>Season 1 Episode 9, \u201cThe Reckoning.\u201d You know the one. It features the line \u201cYou\u2019re tearing my guts out, Claire.\u201d Heughan writes in Waypoints<\/em> that this audition marked his and Balfe\u2019s first assembly. The present\u2019s hunt for Claire was ongoing, and he says, \u201cthe chemistry had to be just right.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDespite their enduring love, the two characters can be quite antagonistic in their relationship,\u201d Heughan writes within the excerpt, shared October 21 in Variety<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIn the heat of that moment, born from love and frustration, we literally began tearing at each other until the director called time on us. It was intense, physically and emotionally. It left us breathless. She was wrapped in my arms, and I think we both know that Jamie and Claire had just come into existence together.\u201d<\/p>\n They reprised their audition for Episode 9. The scene comes after Jamie, and the Highlanders rescue Claire from Black Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies<\/a>). Jamie and Claire are just lately married, and their clashing views on the roles of husbands and wives (influenced by Claire being from the longer term, after all) brings their simmering anger to a head.
