For the past few years, Lauren Lyle has been best known as Marsali MacKimmie Fraser in the Starz TV drama Outlander. But that might be about to change – thanks to Karen Pirie. “So many people who come up to me… I used to always just get recognised for Outlander and now it’s often Karen,” Lyle tells me. “Often people are like, ‘she speaks to her boss in a way I wish I could.’”
And then some. The show, which first aired in 2022, starred Lyle as a no-nonsense detective who ends up solving a cold case from the Scottish police archives.
