User blog comment:Adelina Le Morte March/Why Freya deserves more credit (and needs to come back)/@comment-1536224-20121027204420

I agree that Freya should return; I liked her a lot and I can see why Merlin fell in love with her. For one thing she's gorgeous, even when dressed in rags, and for another she had a very sweet personality. We know that she's a strong person, even though she didn't actually show it in The Lady of the Lake, because of what she told Merlin about her past. I think that the most likely reason for the man to have attacked her was because he wanted to rape her; obviously the writers wouldn't want to mention that because of the younger audience. Some sick rapist, who was probably also a murderer considering Freya thought he was going to kill her, could have wanted to...you know, and then kill her once he was done. That would definately be a motive for Freya to kill him, but even if that was the case, she still didn't mean to kill him which shows that she cares about the lives of other people, even if they are evil.

Whenever I watch Freya's death I cry, because Merlin really loved her, even though he'd only known her for a short time, plus I fancy her and like her personality. One thing that upsets me about Freya's death is that Merlin never mentions her; he's mentioned Balinor a few times, although not by name, but he never talks about Freya to anyone. Then again, I suppose that nobody could really comfort him because everybody was afraid of Freya because of her curse. Arthur tried to, but obviously Merlin couldn't talk to him about Freya and he probably resented Gaius for telling Uther about her.

Freya seems to be in limbo at the moment because she doesn't seem to be truly alive or dead. Apparently we'll be seeing the Lake of Avalon in Series 5 and we know that she resides there. I really hope that the writers will bring Freya back at some point; she's the Lady of the Lake and it would be disappointing if she didn't appear if and when Merlin returns to the Lake of Avalon.
