I'm not sure thats correct. Im pretty sure Judy Trott didn't want to continue on with season four much like Michael Praed wanted to leave after season 2 . So the intent was that she'd be written out being at the convent but with the option to come back if she wanted , the alternate idea was to have her killed off by Gisburne at the begining of season 4. Im not sure if they would have introduced a different female character in season 4 , but we would never find out due to the financing issues at Goldcrest

​@@GeekLegionofDoom Hi, thanks for your reply, which i read with interest and i take on board your thoughts. I obviously watched ROS back in the 80s and again with my two sons on DVD a few years ago. They both enjoyed it but also said how the ending of S3 felt a little lame with Marion deciding to abandon Robin and become a nun. Yeah i can see that Judy may have wanted away. It was hardly luxury filming conditions on ROS, dressed in unflattering clothing and sometimes during winter months in the damp and cold. But the ending did feel false and im sure a season 4 would have seen Marion come to her senses and break away from Kirklees Abbey to continue her life fighting the good fight with the so called `merry men`. Just as aside to this. I don't know about you, but i thought Jason Connery was a admirable replacement for Michael and played his part well. So many fans ive spoken to have given him a rough ride.

@@TheGlassman63 I've met Jason Connery he was a really nice guy, and while i don't think he's as good an actor, i like the way he was introduced as a seperate character rather than a recast. Season 3 did end on a bit of a downer , i find this a problem with TV series as a whole many of them are cancelled and end up having an unsatisfacory ending . My top 3 favorite shows ( of which ROS is one ) all ended with another season planned.

I heard a fourth season was considered but it never happened.

@@wardragonprime That's correct. They planned to but Goldcrest the production company hit financial troubles and it sadly never happened. The creator made some new scripts some 20 years later in hope of a revival , but that never happened either. The best we got was one of the scripts turned into a radio drama
