While the second half of Outlander season 7 drops on Starz this Autumn, the cast has also been busy filming their final scenes for season 8. Beloved castmembers, including Claire Fraser star Caitriona Balfe and Jamie Fraser actor Sam Heughan, will all be bidding an emotional farewell after over a decade together on-screen.

Outlander, which is based on Diana Gabaldon's books of the same name, is a historical fantasy show that first aired back in 2014. Marsali Fraser actress Lauren Lyle was inundated with support from fans after becoming the latest star to wave the show goodbye.

Taking to Instagram, Lauren shared a heartfelt message to her 224,000 followers. She included some on-set pictures of herself dressed as her character, as well as a sweet selfie with her fellow cast members.

She also included a photo of herself in normal clothes, taking the train home with a large bouquet of flowers. She captioned the pics: “Today was my last ever day on @outlander_starz.

“It had been 3 years since I last shot on the show when they asked me back for a turn on this final season. It’s now been 8 years since I got cast… I really don’t know what to say.

“My life has changed on this show. Truly different lives lived. I’m so grateful for Marsali Fraser and all that came with her. For all your support and stories.

“See how I played the devil's child that turned good? Very mindful, very demure,” she added cheekily.

Fans soon took to the comments section to flood the actress with support, as they complimented her portrayal of Marsali over the years.
