Merlin - Series 5 - Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy Interview and more BTS Photos Posted by Sandiwich11 at Wednesday, April 25, 2012 Cancelled Shows Tweet

Hot on the heels of Julian Murphy's Sci Fi Now interview last week comes some more teasers from himself and Johnny Capps. With Gwen now Queen it is obvious that Arthur will be confiding and trusting her a great deal more, many fans have been asking if this will effect the relationship between Arthur and Merlin.

"I don’t think it will change the relationship between them, because Gwen and Merlin have always been close, and there’s been a bond there,” says Murphy. “I hope it will make it a greater dynamic; three often shakes it up and makes it richer, and without it trying to, I think the writing will do that."

"All the characters will have moved on a lot,” remarks Capps, “we will see that Gwen is now the Queen of Camelot and has a very different role than she’s had in previous seasons. When we start series 5 I think everone will be surprised where all the characters are."

Merlin, however, seems destined to be unlucky in love Murphy explains "I think in our consciousness he’s a curiously non-romantic figure. In our mind he’s never associated with women, and I guess we stay true to that, but we’d never rule it out, and there are some interesting stories about Merlin being seduced away from the path."
