By
The mid-season finale of Outlander airs on Saturday, September 27.
The first half of Outlander Season 1 concludes on Saturday, September 27 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

The mid-season finale finds Frank (Tobias Menzies) desperately searching for his missing wife, while Claire tries to come to terms with her new marriage to Jamie. Claire is faced with an emotional quandary as a life-altering opportunity presents itself.

Watch a sneak peek of the episode below:





Outlander will return with the remaining eight episodes from the first season on Saturday, April 4, 2015.

The critically acclaimed series adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling books and executive produced by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Star Trek: The Next Generation) has already been picked up for a second season.

Approximately 3.8 million Live+3 viewers tuned in for the series highly-anticipated seventh episode, titled "The Wedding," to finally witness the beloved characters Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) become man and wife in 18th century Scotland, the most on Starz since episode 5 of "Spartacus: Vengeance" in February 2012. "The Wedding" performance represents a 19 percent increase from the week prior on "Outlander," and a 38 percent increase since the series premiere episode. Outlander fans made "The Wedding" appointment viewing by flocking to the premiere of the episode on Saturday with 2.07 million Live+SD Saturday viewing and 1.23 million Live+SD viewers tuning in for the Saturday 9PM ET/PT episode premiere, both series highs. Through the first 4 episodes, more than 5 million average viewers have watched each episode of the hit series.*

The Outlander series spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history, and adventure in one epic tale. It follows Claire Randall as she navigates the hidden dangers of 18th century Scotland, an unknown world where her freedom and very life are at risk. When she is forced to marry Jamie Fraser, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

Diana Gabaldon's eight-book series has sold more than 25 million copies worldwide, and six of the books have graced the New York Times best-seller list. Outlander is produced by Tall Ship Productions, Story Mining & Supply Company and Left Bank Pictures in association with Sony Pictures Television.

Starz retains all domestic multiplatform pay TV rights to the original series.

First Thoughts on Guy Wilson as the New Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES

By
Guy Wilson debuted as the new Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES on Wednesday, January 8, 2014. "You're not gonna believe this!" That was actor Guy Wilson's first line in his debut as the new Will Horton on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Well, believe it! Over the years many relative unknown thespians, who later turned out to be excellent actors, even Emmy winners, made their daytime soap opera debuts and looked like stiffs.

It's understandable if a new actor in a daytime drama takes not just one, but several episodes to settle in. It's happened time and again so I give them a pass. Luckily, Wilson doesn't need one. He performed like a seasoned pro on Day One.
