Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes comes clean about Dan Steven's sudden series departure.
Downton Abbey fans everywhere have been heartbroken and angered over the brutal season 3 finale,
and apparently the show's creator is just as upset. "I had no choice," Julian tells
UK Express. "Dan would not stay – 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." Do you agree
that Dan himself is to blame for his character's unfortunate fate? Or could Julian still have
done something - anything else to write him off? Let us know your thoughts in the comments,
Downton fans, and stick with us for more TV buzz from Celebified.
