Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes would have liked to give Matthew and Lady Mary Crawley a happier ending, but that was not possible after Stevens unceremoniously bailed from the hit show!
“I had no choice. Dan would not stay – he was determined to go. Everyone liked him and thought he was fantastic. I tried to persuade him to come back just for one episode of the next series so we could give Matthew and Mary a happy ending but he wanted to go off to America and now I believe he has a three-movie deal. He’s doing very well!”
Translate – “Dan Stevens is an ungrateful little S**t”
