'Outlander' Season 4: New character Rollo sidelines Jamie Fraser, and Sam Heughan concurs

Season 4's new character has outshined the leading man of the show, without any dialogue, only the required barks
UPDATED JAN 10, 2019

Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) has been the leading star of the show ever since 'Outlander' came to our screens in 2014, but now it's time for him to move aside - there's a new heartthrob in 'ourlander.' With season 4 in full swing now, even though Jamie stands uncontested when it comes to the importance of his plot, his charm and good looks are challenged by season 4's new character - Rollo. Sam Heughan concurs.

Rollo, a half-wolf, debuted in episode one of season 4 when Young Ian (John Bell) introduced him to his uncle. "Isn't he a handsome dog uncle?" questions Young Ian, the happy and proud owner of the canine. Claire Fraser (Caitriona Balfe), who is instantly skeptical about it because of her own bad history with wolves chimes in to note that Rollo looks less of a dog and more of a "bloody wolf."
