Lauren McQueen is an English actress who gained fame for playing the role of Lily Drinkwell in the soap opera, Hollyoaks. The actress has also appeared in the movie, The Wasting. Apart from these, Lauren McQueen has also appeared in shows like The Mill, Masters of the Air, and Ordinary Lies.

However, the actress was most recently seen in Outlander: Blood of My Blood and she played the role of Seema, who is a s*x worker.

In the fourth episode of the first season of the show, Mistress Hay has tracked a dark-haired Englishwoman for Henry and it is not Julia. The girl is Seema, who is working at the brothel and is told to follow Henry’s orders.

Even though Seema solicits him, Henry remains loyal and only wants honesty from Seema. He confesses that he fears that Julia might end up in a place like the brothel. On the other hand, Seema mentions that she is happy here as she is not out in the cold. But she also hopes that Julia is safe wherever she is.

Therefore, Lauren McQueen has a supporting appearance in the show’s first season.
