“I loved it when you see Morgana sitting on the throne after she has taken Camelot,” McGrath explains. McGrath’s Morgana has experienced a true roller coaster ride in Season Four, initiating one coup of Camelot after another before finally succeeding – if only for a few brief moments. Arthur always knew Merlin was a good friend and a trusted guy, but to realize he’s loyally been there the entire time is a big revelation for Arthur and certainly paves the way for where we’re going in Season Five.” One of the key elements in the finale is Arthur seeing his uncle for who he is, and positively reflecting on Merlin’s valued friendship. “That was a difficult transition for Merlin to overcome. “After Uther died, there was an interesting transition within the characters as Arthur put family over friends,” Morgan recalls. The fourth season presented some frustrating speed bumps in that relationship as Arthur’s traitorous uncle Agravaine wielded far more power and influence over the King than Merlin would have seen fit. Morgan is particularly enthused about developments for the title character, who has gone from the King’s servant to his best friend and closest adviser.
