Matthew Goode, who starred as Henry Talbot in beloved period drama ‘Downton Abbey’, tells
@THR why he won’t be in the upcoming film,
#DowntonAbbeyTheGrandFinale.
“For the scene they wanted to do, it was half a page. So there was never going to be too much in there, but I couldn’t do it. And actually, I said, you know what? Why can’t this be a really positive thing? Because I don’t know what they’re doing. They might kill [Henry]! I didn’t see the script. But it’s a wonderful opportunity — [Mary, Michelle Dockery’s character] is like this modern feminist icon and in a weird way, maybe she doesn’t need a fella… Now, it opens up the story to have something significant happen. Why have Henry come?”
