And how about you, Graham? What did you think when you heard about this episode you'd be coming back for?
Graham McTavish: It's been extraordinary, but I found that whole thing just completely bizarre, really. I got called to play Buck first, which I didn't expect—to play my own son. And then, I get to play myself again with my son. It's quite mind-bending. It's a unique situation that will never be repeated, I suspect.
It's such a fascinating—and at times, hilarious—scene.
Verbeek: Yeah, wild. I mean, it's just wild. You never get to do that. It would never happen in real life, so only on camera can this happen. Only in a show like this. It was great.
McTavish: And you have to forget that's the case when you're in the scene. You have to just look at that person as a person that you're meeting for the first time. You have no idea who they are, and you think, “Oh, maybe I'll get to know you better or maybe not.” Then I meet Geillis, and that takes me completely away from Buck. I don't even think about him for a moment. I'm just thinking about her.
Will you both be back later in the second half of season seven? Or was episode 710 the only one?
McTavish: We can't say.
Verbeek: I'm so sorry, but our lips are sealed.
That's an interesting answer in and of itself. [Laughs] Meanwhile, Graham, you and Sam Heughan are so close. Were you able to see him on set at all?
McTavish: I didn't see Sam, no. I saw him around socially, but not on set. I would have loved to, though.
Verbeek: Yeah, it was just the actors in this scene. And I mean, gosh, the cast has become so massive by now with all such phenomenal actors. But yeah, Sam and Kat, we didn't see that time around, no.
