Shots of his coffin being carried to his grave were interspersed with a buoyant Charlotte (Rose Williams) dancing up a storm back home in Willingden \u2014 until Sidney\u2019s sister-in-law Mary (Kate Ashfield) brought her the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> of his death.<\/p>\n<p>Viewers have known for a year that Sidney\u2019s portrayer, Theo James, wouldn\u2019t be reprising his role for the <em>Masterpiece<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a>\u2019 sophomore season.

Season 1 of this adaptation of Jane Austen\u2019s unfinished novel ended with Sidney deciding to marry his former fianc\u00e9e to save his brother from debtor\u2019s prison. But did Sidney have to die?<\/p>\n<p>New head writer Justin Young told a Television Critics Association panel in January that Sidney\u2019s untimely demise would reverberate throughout the season. \u201cIt gave us this enormous emotional event at the beginning of the [season] that sets up all the stories,\u201d he explained. \u201cReally, the season becomes about that in a way \u2014 how everyone moves on from Sidney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bringing in a new actor to play the role didn\u2019t seem like a viable option. \u201cObviously we couldn\u2019t recast because that would have destroyed the integrity of the world,\u201d Young said. \u201cIt would have been implausible. We thought we needed to make clear to the audience right from the beginning that he\u2019s not coming back, although [Charlotte] waits for him to come back, and we needed to let the audience grieve along with Charlotte.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s how another PBS series, <em>Downton Abbey<\/em>, handled the departures of two of its popular characters, Dan Stevens\u2019 Matthew Crawley and Jessica Brown Findlay\u2019s Lady Sybil Branson, when the actors playing them wanted to leave the show: by killing them off and depicting how their loved ones dealt with their grief.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, the network\u2019s <em>All Creatures Great and Small<\/em> recast the supporting character of wealthy, dog-pampering Mrs. Pumphrey with Patricia Hodge after Diana Rigg, who originated the role, passed away.<\/p>\n<p>Do you think <em>Sanditon<\/em> made the right call?
