‘Outlander’ Prequel Introduces Major Character From Claire’s Past in Latest ‘Blood of My Blood’ Finale Look
Outlander: Blood of My Blood is introducing a major character from Claire’s (Caitriona Balfe) past as the finale makes way for the arrival of her Uncle Lamb.
In an all-new post shared to Outlander‘s social media page, it was teased that Henry’s (Jeremy Irvine) brother, Quentin, a.k.a. Uncle Lamb (George Kemp), would make an appearance in the Blood of My Blood finale airing Friday, October 10. The announcement is sure to excite fans of the flagship series, as Claire fondly spoke of her Uncle Lamb as the man who raised her.
In the original show, Claire believes her parents died in an accident while they were away, and though this may be the case in Diana Gabaldon‘s books, Blood of My Blood flipped the script by creating a version of events in which Claire’s parents survived, but were whisked away in time by the standing stones at Craigh Na Dun.

Uncle Lamb made a brief appearance in a flashback during Outlander‘s first season, but his introduction in Blood of My Blood opens the door for a bigger part in the story, it would seem. For fans less aware, Uncle Lamb is a historian and archaeologist who brought Claire along for his adventures as he raised her.
Only time will tell how involved Uncle Lamb will be in Blood of My Blood, but considering the series is returning for Season 2, we’ll keep our fingers crossed that he might have a larger presence in the story.
But what do you think about the inclusion of Uncle Lamb in Blood of My Blood? Would you like to see him play a more prominent role in the series going forward? Let us know in the comments section below, and stay tuned to see him make his grand entrance into the prequel in the finale episode airing on October 10.

I think that it's a ridiculous storyline. I am watching it because I want to follow Brian and Ellen's story.

I think that Uncle Lamb, as an archaeologist/historian, will discover evidence of Henry and Julia's existence in the past.

I love the new show and everything Outlander🥰anything new they want to show is okay with me. It’s just fun and exciting and I hope the story never ends. What a joy it is for me, hurray for Friday’s & Sunday’s at least until we have to say goodbye to Jamie & Claire😭😭 it’s been quite the journey hasn’t it

You expressed my feelings as well!! I love Outlander anything Outlander!! I too hope it never ends!! I’m anxiously waiting for OG season but sad at the same time bc it’s the last season 😭
I wish they would continue thru to the last book when it’s released! STARZ has done an amazing writing job with BOMB…I love this series too! I was so upset that last week was a skip week. I always stream the new episode Friday mornings…I have to admit a couple of times I’ve stayed up to 12:01am to watch bc that’s when u can stream the new episode bc I couldn’t wait!

If Claire’s Uncle her mom and her dad are there on Bomyblood then who is with Claire?

BMB is the show, it’s not just the time period. I’m sure Uncle Lamb is shown on the train platform with Claire waving goodbye to Henry and Julia as they head off to Scotland on Holiday. It doesn’t mean he will be any more than a peripheral character in a flash back or two. However, if Henry is able to time travel it’s possible that Uncle Lamb might also discover he is also able to and does at some point, after Claire does.

Uncle Lamb will be a great addition but, I'm still interested in what's happening with the Frasers and, Henry.

I will have to see how everything falls into place before I can comment. Anything that makes the story interesting I'm for. I did see a clip of the last season of Outlander with Claire shocked to see someone in her timeline, l wonder if it is Uncle Lamb or her mom or dad.

In that trailer for the final season, it is a man's voice (not Frank) that surprisingly greets Claire so either her father or Uncle Lamb and now I am leaning toward Uncle Lamb.

It's Brianna, Roger, and the kids.

I’m so excited for them making another version of outlander since the other Outlander has started I’ve watched the new version overv & over just like I use to watch the outlander. It’s hard to watch to watch the first one over again since it’s leaving.

I think BOMB made no sense whatsoever and how could Claire have been born in Scotland four hundred years earlier?
-
O
She wasn't, clair is home in england with her uncle, her mother has a baby boy in Scotland
-
G
Claire was 5 when her parents traveled back in time. She is back in England with Uncle Lamb.
-
G
Did you watch it? You'd know her mother had a son in the past, a boy named William. Pay attention to details or none of the stories (Outlander or the prequel) make sense (tho time travel is a stretch but still).

R
Clearly not watched it lol

By all means let uncle Lamb take a bigger role .This opens several combinations how season 2 can play out.
-
O
Maybe so?
-
B
Me too.

I didnt like the whole idea of this series like how can it even try to match Outlander, even watching first episode I thought no. But then, it really started to get going and we love it! Its fantastic so glad series 2 will be coming! This will soften the blow of the sadly last series of Outlander.
-
O
I was actually hoping Claire would meet her brother....
-
L
Idk, I find it strange that it would be Henry or uncle lamb, they addressed her as mrs. Frasier, wouldn’t one of them just call her claire?

Just fine without him
