About Lucy griffiths...

This is what the BBC has to say on the matter.
"Lucy Griffiths has been on a fantastic journey with the show and is now exploring other opportunities. Her portrayal was romantic and feisty at the same time. She is certainly the Marian for this generation.
"In the future Robin may find a different love but no one will ever directly replace Marian."

I second (third) this.

I have nothing more to say. ;______________;

No one can replace Marian, period - directly or otherwise.

Source please? sorry I'm a nitpicker.

I was never an R/M shipper or a huge Marian fan, but even I find this a bit wtf? I hope they just mean after the series ends not that they will actually do it, that would suck.

I'm so depressed about this. :(

I HATE the thought of a new love interest. What are they thinking?

medievalmuse January 3 2008, 18:58:55 UTC

...even the mention of a new love interest is like stabbing us with the sword all over again.
Like they haven't mucked up the story enough?

fehrlybrendan January 3 2008, 19:03:03 UTC

I know! It seems so harsh and disrespectful to the fans.

It sounds like a soap opera. :(

medievalmuse January 3 2008, 19:12:27 UTC

Really! If that is their intention, why even bother giving us the crumb of a marriage. The words "husband" and "wife" would be as meaningless and cruel as that ending.

This is so stupid. Maid Marian is a key part of Robin Hood. It's just not Robin Hood without her - it's almost as bad as getting rid of the Sheriff, or Nottingham itself.

Much as I like Marian and much as I thought Lucy did a wonderful job, I have to disagree.
The key part of Robin Hood legend is stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Maid Marian was only a later addition and while, yes, she has been present in most modern versions of Robin Hood, she's not a requirement.
