See a short video clip where Merlin actress Katie McGrath wonders whether, deep down, all Morgana really needs is a hug.

Today’s advent present from the official Merlin publicity team is a video interview with Katie McGrath:

In the clip, she says that, “Deep down, the question is: does Morgana just want a cuddle?” But in her opinion, that’s very belittling of her character!

“At the end of the day, I think that Morgana has done all of this because she just wants to be accepted for who she is, and it might be putting it a little simply to say she just wants a cuddle… but, you know what, probably in some places it’s true.”

See, there we’ve got our perfect ending to Merlin: one giant group hug! Nobody dies, no one feels betrayed, and they can all make beautiful peace and unity together.

Right?

Or maybe that’s just wishful thinking on our part – but hey, we do have a lot of other great theories about how the show might end (and “group hug” didn’t make the list), so check those out! And see what else we’ve been doing to celebrate the final year of the show over on our Month of Merlin masterlist.
