The latest round of Outlander spinoff casting includes an Easter Egg for a subset of the book-loyal fandom.
Starz on Wednesday announced the addition of four roles to the forthcoming prequel, Blood of My Blood.

The character is a housekeeper in the Lovat household, which is good and all, but we’re super into how she’s also named after someone many devotees of author Diana Gabaldon will recognize: Davina Porter, who narrates the audiobook versions of Gabaldon’s Outlander book series.

British voices carry more than people from most other nations. It’s especially true in a city such as London, where it feels like you’re privy to everyone else’s personal lives as you’re going about your own day. This sense of eavesdropping on other people’s narratives is excellently, mysteriously explored in Jamie Fraser’s Green Space, which uses a fixed-vantage point to observe several interweaving narratives within Burgess Park, South London. Mixing oddball comedy with slice-of-life drama, the story gets great mileage out of this green, luscious location, subtly developing over the course of 24 hours. Particularly impressive is the way the space is mapped, creating a panorama of British life that spans from the banal to the monumental, all captured from the same view.

And just like that, the future of the United States of America is secure, thanks in large part to none other than Jamie Fraser.
Would we have expected any less from our hero?
Outlander Season 7 Episode 8 wound down the first half of the season on that significant front, and it cued up expectations for the second half of the season.
We've come to an awkward part of Outlander where history and our story intersect to the point there isn't much room for concern, even when characters' lives are hanging in the balance.
That doesn't even take into consideration that the material is relatively set in stone thanks to the incredible universe Diana Gabaldon created through her novels.
Sitting back and allowing the story to wash over you is wise in cases like these. But at the same time, episodes and seasons are crafted as if they want you on the edge of your seat,...
