Sam Heughan reveals the souvenir he'll take from Outlander set
WARNING: This article contains spoilers for Outlander.
Outlander season seven part two is on the way with Brian Fraser’s Andrew Whipp returning for the long-awaited episodes.
Jamie’s dad Brian Fraser appeared only in season one of the Starz time travel drama which ended in tragedy after the iconic Highlander was arrested while trying to defend Jenny Fraser Murray (Laura Donnelly).
He was taken to Fort William where he was flogged by Jack Randall (Tobias Menzies) and when Brian witnessed the second flogging, he believed his son was dead.
He then suffered an apoplexy and collapsed and while Brian was taken to Lallybroch to recover, he sadly died a few days later.
Even though Brian was killed off in the first outing, the network has confirmed that actor Andrew Whipp will be reprising his role for season seven’s second part.

Since Brian is already dead though, it is thought that he will likely appear in season seven through flashbacks.
Apart from the Starz series, Whipp has been in a number of other popular television shows throughout his 25-year career.
Some of these include Emmerdale, Holby City, The White Princess, Cursed, Vera, Shetland and Six Four.
Most recently, he portrayed Ladbroke in the epic thriller Bodies in Netflix last year.
Why did Harry and Meghan make a Netflix series about their life?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found themselves at the centre of public attention since they took a step back from senior royal duties in 2020.
In a trailer for the Netflix series about them, Prince Harry told viewers that “no one sees what’s happening behind closed doors” in a reference to how their lives may differ from what the public think about the couple. Meghan adds: “When the stakes are this high, doesn’t it make more sense to hear our story from us?”.
Reports suggested the Duke and Duchess of Sussex could receive up to $100 million for making the show, although this has been disputed and the true figure is unknown.
Whipp also has another project in the pipeline away from the Outlander universe, a sci-fi thriller called Subservience.
Currently in post-production, the film sees a “struggling father who purchases a domestic SIM to help care for his house and family, unaware she will gain awareness and turn deadly”.
Alongside Whipp, Subservience is going to star Megan Fox, Madeline Zima, Michele Morrone and Kate Nichols.
Whipp may be returning as Brian for the original Outlander drama but in the upcoming prequel, Blood Of My Blood, Jamie's dad is going to be portrayed by actor Jamie Roy.
Outlander is available to watch on Starz and MGM+ via Prime Video Channels.
