O'Brien is leaving "Downton Abbey," and unlike Dan Stevens' departure, not many viewers will be sad to see the notoriously catty maid to Lady Grantham go.
第一女仆O'Brien也要離開唐頓莊園了。和大表哥Dan Stevens的出走不同，大概沒有多少觀眾會因為伯爵夫人的貼身女仆——招人煩的O'Brien的離開而難過吧。

"I'm not doing any more," Siobhan Finneran, who played O'Brien, revealed to the Press Association,. "O'Brien is a thoroughly despicable human being -- that was great to play."
“我不想再演了，”O(jiān)'Brien的扮演者Siobhan Finneran向英國聯合社透露說，“O'Brien這個角色實在太卑鄙了，不過能演這個角色是件很棒的事情?！?/div>

Though Masterpiece confirmed that O'Brien would not appear in "Downton Abbey" Season 4, the door seems open for her return.
盡管已經證實了O'Brien將不會在第四季的唐頓莊園中出現，但是，唐頓莊園的大門永遠向她敞開。

O'Brien has been a love-to-hate character throughout her three seasons on the show, from causing Cora's miscarriage in Season 1 to the bitter feud she had with under-butler Thomas that led to her outing him in Season 3.
在前三季中，O'Brien是一個讓人愛恨交加的角色。第一季中，是她導致了Cora的流產，而在第三季中，又是她排擠和自己長期不和的男仆Thomas。

"Downton Abbey" fans are still reeling from Stevens' departure from the series, which culminated in Matthew Crawley's untimely death in the Season 3 finale. Many viewers were furious over Matthew's death, indicated by a HuffPost poll that, at time of publish, showed 85 percent weren't happy and 15 saw how it could be good for "Downton Abbey."
唐頓莊園的粉絲們還在為第三季最后大表哥的猝然離世而無法釋懷。通過HuffPost的投票顯示，很多觀眾對于大表哥的去世很生氣，85%的觀眾表示不開心，而剩下的15%則表示想看看唐頓莊園要如何收場。

But creator Julian Fellowes said there was no other way to let the character go.
不過，制作人Julian Fellowes表示，要讓一個角色離開，沒有（比讓他去死）更好的方法。

"I had hoped that we would have one episode of this fourth season that I’m writing now, so we could have ended the Christmas episode on a happy note -– the baby, everything lovely. And then kill [Matthew] in the first episode of the next [season]," Fellowes explained to The New York Times in January. "But [Stevens] didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want his death to dominate the Christmas special, so that’s why we killed him at the very, very end. In a way I think it works quite well because we begin [Season] 4 six months later. We don’t have to do funerals and all that stuff. That’s all in the past by then."
“我現在正在寫第四季的劇本，原本我希望能在這一季中安排一集結束大表哥的戲份。這樣第三季的圣誕特輯就能有一個美好的結局——嬰兒的出世，一切都那么美好。然后在第四季的第一集中讓大表哥去死。”唐頓莊園的制作人Fellowes在1月的時候對紐約時報這么說，“但是，Stevens（大表哥的扮演者）不想那么做。我不想讓大表哥的死成為整個圣誕特輯的主旋律，所以我們把他的死安排在了最后。這樣的安排我認為是比較好的，因為第四季還要過一段時間才會播。在新一季中，我們不需要舉辦葬禮及其相關事宜。一切都過去了?！?/div>
