Outlander‘s Jamie had a harrowing stay at Wentworth Prison in Season 1 of the Starz drama. Along those lines, series star Sam Heughan says that the show’s request that he film in the nude for a pivotal episode set at the jail “did betray my trust in the creative team a bit.”
In his new memoir Waypoints: My Scottish Journey, Heughan writes that he’d been contractually obligated to film nude scenes, including the one in which his character, Jamie Fraser, is raped by the sadistic Black Jack Randall (played by Tobias Menzies). But he recalls challenging the production...

Believe it or not, Outlander hired its first intimacy coordinator for Season 6. Sam Heughan revealed he brought Vanessa Coffey onto the show during Season 6 production. In a new interview, Coffey shared how she helped evolve the creation of Outlander‘s infamous steamy moments, resulting in a safer work environment for both series leads Heughan and Caitriona Balfe and the younger supporting cast. Before Outlander, Coffey worked on Fate: The Winx Saga, I Hate Suzie, BBC’s Rules of the Game, and War of the Worlds. But there was a unique series of events that led to her becoming an intimacy coordinator. “I fell into it in quite a weird way,” Coffey told Digital Spy. “I worked as a lawyer in corporate law, and before that, I trained as a dancer. After law, I went and retrained as an actor, so I had these three seemingly unrelated things that were floating around.

Another member of the Fraser clan comes into the world in this week’s Outlander, but the birth isn’t the happy affair we might hope it would be.
