User blog comment:Chawk1993/Gwen's role in Series 5/@comment-4623180-20120410042106

I read every bit, and I'm really glad we finally have someone talking about Gwen! It's all Mordred, Aithusa, Morgana talk, and we have hardly any rumours about Gwen, it's about time we have some Gwen tallk!

The blog post you were referring to may be part of one I made. I'm not sure if I made one Gwen-series-5-specific, but I am sure I've talked about her before.

I'm very excited for it! I think the relationship between Gwen and Merlin has no real need, or for that matter, right, to change, from Queen to Servant, instead of best friends. They have such a great history, and I loved how they met each other! They've held hands, they've hugged, Gwen has grabbed Merlin before (as a reflex, when they were watching a duel), they're very close! I think the show has much more exploring with their relationship. I do hope Gwen is one of the main four characters and not proppy... she has every right to be a main character again! Of course the bromance between Merlin and Arthur is more important than anything else.

I think it won't change, but instead evolve, grow or develop- they will become even more protective of each other.

Or, it could go the other way around. Gwen has little to do with Merlin anymore. She now has her own personal servant, Merlin is still Arthur's servant. When they meet we see strong glimpses of how they acted towards each other in Series 1, but Gwen is usually too busy with her role of queen, so can't go out of her way to meet Merlin except for a few times. I can imagine both circumstances happening, but we know which one would be a disappointment!

What will happen is shrouded in secrecy. The writers also said there are going to be many twists and turns... so all we can do is sit in suspense.
