Not on Twitter? Here’s a recap of the Outlander Season 5 Tweet Fest with Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe in one easy reading blog post.
Obsessenachs, can I get a Hallelujah? Outlander actors Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe gave us a loooooonnnnng drink of sweet, sweet water to help ease our Droughtlander as we not-so-patiently await the Outlander Season 5 February 16, 2020, premier. And there will be more. Richard Rankin and Sophie Skelton will bring us #OutlanderWrap Tweet Fest Part 2.
After tweeting a couple reminders for anyone not sitting on ready, Sam took first spot at answering questions about Outlander Season 5 and other intriguing topics.
See you soon??! #OutlanderWrap https://t.co/grOdsC7A5P

It seemed Dr. Dr. Heughan was in good spirits for more than one reason. Besides wrapping Outlander Season 5 filming, his Sassenach Tartan scarf collection enjoyed a smashing launch, with most styles selling out in a few hours. If you didnât get yours, thereâs more to come Fall 2020! Seems like a great partnership with Prickly Thistle! Still no release date on the whisky, though.
The @SassenachTartan Collection….
Uniquely Scottish
Uniquely Stylish
Uniquely SustainableThanks to @SamHeughan for inviting us Highlanders to be part of the journey!!!! https://t.co/Ia1OeeCF7a

Some questions were about his past. My favorite came from @sandyshortt124.
An âaccidentâ with a saw, at a young age… or was it a fight with a tiger? I forget. https://t.co/uRXJi5QWz9

Some episodes are more strict than others. But we have a lot of say. The writers are fantastic on the show and itâs so fun to collaborate. We are lucky, 6 years on the show, gives you a solid base. The last eps we were heavily involved https://t.co/D76fG9pp5l

I agree. Doing the best we can is a start. Itâs hard, I try to make small changes. Society does need a huge change though. I hope we do soon. https://t.co/ul847ElMnr
— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019
Thatâs all for Sam, presumably.
Thank you all for your questions! Sorry I only got to a few… Iâll try answer more on set tomorrow, our last day!!!!
Now… over to the queen herself, @caitrionambalfe !!??đ pic.twitter.com/AaiAx8suwE— Sam Heughan (@SamHeughan) November 20, 2019
No, wait! Thereâs more.
He put out a call for questions in an IG Story and posted these answers. Gotta love this guy for all the love he shows his fans. And, thanks, Sam, for the Michaheal Kiwanuka Cold Little Heart earworm!
OK, on to Queen Caitriona Balfe. After some timing issues, she jumped in and was off to a great start.
Surprisingly, she responded to verra personal questions. Unless Iâve missed something, this tweet is the first official confirmation of her recent nuptials.
Great! Thanks … #AskCait https://t.co/Z5gd6fMu23

No itâs good…. it helps counter balance all the crap pressure I feel from all the bombardment of pictures and ads about how we should all look like teenagers. We shouldnât. Wrinkles equals time equals life … trying to love them #AskCait https://t.co/akbERR9nL2
