‘Nice to be remembered!’ Outlander’s Annette Badland hints at Mrs Fitz return amid ‘upset’

Outlander star Annette Badland, 71, played fan favourite character Mrs. Fitz in the first season of the popular Scottish series, but she has been noticeably absent from the show ever since. The actress has now told Express.co.uk that she “would like to be remembered” and suggested that she could perhaps return in a dream sequence. 

Now in its sixth season, Outlander is a historical drama show that takes place around the time of the Jacobite rising.

In the series, Annette’s character Mrs. Fitz is the head housekeeper of Castle Leoch and faces an uncertain future after the dissolution of the clans and destruction of the castle at the end of season 1.

When asked if she would ever return to the show, Annette revealed that she would like to be asked back, if only to make a brief cameo appearance, while hinting at her sadness over the situation. 

She said: “I’m deeply upset that no one’s ever had a dream about me or something, you know?

She then told a story about a time where they bonded over Cat stripping naked for a time-consuming costume fitting.

“We really kind of clicked and there was once a dressing scene we did and – because Terry Dresbach the designer is terribly authentic – the costumes had bum rolls, two under skirts, a bodice, something that had to be laced, no velcro to be seen…

“Cat had to be naked so it was a closed set – and Terry warned them that it would take time!” she continued with a laugh.

“But 20 mins later if you’re lacing up a corset and you’re putting an underskirt on… I ended up singing to her, I did all sorts of things just to fill the time!
