Never gave it chance but Agnes and Henri


Started watching Mr. Selfridges on news years day and fell in love with it mainly the relationship between Agnes and Henri. The moment he asked for her help I knew I had to carry on watching. Just gutted they left ?

reply

The actor who played Henri wanted to leave after S1 but was persuaded to stay on for another season. Then actress who played Agnes wanted to leave, so the writers wrote them both out at once.

I'm glad they got a happy ending ? Can't beat a happy romance. Just wish the rest of season 3 had one, I thought Victor And Violett but that didn't happen ?

reply

Me too. I'm glad they went off together instead of, say Henri dying in the war, and Agnes leaving because of the painful memories.

Victor and Violette were never going to work within the context of the show--Harry was furious at the thought of his former waiter romancing his daughter. And Victor knew Violette was with him for the thrill not the reality of the world. Within the context of history, they wouldn't have worked out because Violette, like her sisters, fulfilled Harry's snobby dreams by marrying an aristocrat.
