So sorry he isn't coming back. They were perfect as a team and could have come up with a super good story line for their relationship. It won't be the same without William.

Once The Duke left, I was not interested in the show. I love Eliza, and the other characters, but the show loses it's depth & charm without William Wellington, the Duke.

Stuart Martin and the producers did announce that he has left the show and S4 is his last. Moving forward the series will be called Miss Scarlet. I was disappointed because I love their dynamic and chemistry in the show.

My mother stumbled across Ms Scarlet and the Duke one afternoon and then told me about it. Ever since then we both have been diehard fans of this wonderful detective series!
Watching season 4 and waiting for the next episode along with hoping the series continues. The storyline of a woman in that era making a living in the world and trying to be accepted by thy fellow man. Eliza and William being attracted to each other but not being able to give in to their feelings is what keeps the audience tuned in to see if they will commit. Love the show there’s so many other shows that are either fake reality or full of violence this show lets you enjoy the mystery Eliza is set out to solve, and a quaint love story with the Duke wrapped in the mix.
Please continue this show it takes you away from the world we live in today even if it’s for only an hour!!!

Thank you for putting this video together! It's very well done. One of the things that stands out most during this season, more so than in previous seasons, is the deep love they both feel for one another and how it has grown the more time they've spent together. He's more willing to express it than she is, and he clearly wants to have a family. She's not ready for that and THAT is just one of the reasons he chose to leave. He's also very frustrated with how Scotland Yard is being run. Taking the secondment in NYC might serve two purposes: a) allow him to bring back and introduce to SY new policies, after which he may earn a promotion, and b) allow Eliza time to think about what she wants for her future. While Eliza hasn't told him that she loves him, we see it in nearly every scene they had together in this season, especially after his near death experience. The writers also wanted us to see that he has legitimate concerns about her safety, which he has because he loves her, not because he wants to control her or because he's a chauvinist. I disagree with those who say he just wants her to quit to become a housewife. I think it's more complicated than that. Since this show is set in the 19th century and not the 21st I think the writers will do our ancestors and women like Eliza a disservice if their "happy ever after" is one which they simply get married, open a detective agency together, and then go on their merry way.

Eliza and William are perfect for each other.I believe he has given both of them time to work through the very real issues of the time. I hope that they can find a workable solution so that they can be together.

If Stuart Martin leaves the show so do I.

While this story twist is frustrating I can understand William's decision to go to NY for a year. I do not think he is running away but wisely giving them the space they need at this time. He knows what he wants. He wants Eliza but there are comications. I do not think Eliza is as clear as he is about her true feelings and needs. Putting space between them will give her time to sort through her feelings and desires. Who knows perhaps William's stay in America will fill him with an enterprising spirit. Perhaps he will suggest going into the private detective business with Eliza. They have worked well together solving cases and William being a man and formerly with Scotland Yard would be able to bring some much needed clients to the agency. Or perhaps he will start a seperate enterprise on his own. I think he is willing to make some changes in his life at this time. I also think he loves, respects and admires Eliza and while he finds her frustrating at times I really do not think he would want to hold her back. He often tells her what a good detective she is and even encourages her. Right now I think it is Eliza who needs to do some real soul searching and I am optimistic enough to think that they will work things out and they will be together. I am 75 years old and just hope they do it before I die! I am sure there will be a series 5 and all will be well. I am just impatient to see them together ASAP - like most viewers, I suspect.

Arabella’s words to William re: Eliza are both truthful and disturbing because I SO want William and Eliza to, well, become One. William is being shrewd, wise and prudent via going away to New York for a year, which gives Eliza time and space to get her ducks in a row and really MISS William. The old cliche, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” I do not foresee Eliza ever becoming a haus frau … cooking, cleaning, etc. Not even sure motherhood is in the cards for her. I personally don’t see how she can resist William, but she’s had a less than usual childhood. Enjoying Season 4 tremendously, but here’s to Season 5 when at long last these two gorgeous people unite and revel in immense happiness and joy together.

❤I've been waiting for that kiss for a long time. Can't believe he is leaving for a whole year. I watch it for the romance.🎉🎉😊

[loveableurbanlemur]

Such a good show. My wife and I never fail to miss an episode when they air. Looking forward to next season!

[flourchylde]

The fact that he does not even show up in the last few episodes tells me that Stuart Martin probably had conflicting work assignments and the writers had to find a way to work around that. Just my opinion. I didn't even watch the last few episodes once I realized that he would be missing. The show is called Miss Scarlet AND the Duke. BTW, the young man who played the young Duke was remarkable in voice and manner. He totally nailed him.

[lazuli]

This was the smile I needed ❤️ ...thank you for sharing.

[cathyhansen]

I can’t stand that we will never see these 2 together again. This show is ruined now for me. I loved them together. 😢

[helinarichardson]

I loved the kiss but sad Duke had to go away for a year. I guess that's the best option. I hope season 5 will have more romance between Eliza and the duke. ❤

[Sofie_deer]

I really am in love with their chemistry i just wish the kiss was more passionate and eager since we had this very slow burn kinda of tense relationship and we have waited A LOT AND I MEAN A LOT for this but hopefully we can get it in season 5 i hope 😼😼

[sallystewart]

Come on Eliza show some compassion he loves you both belong together.

[trx]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was waiting for and was checking YouTube every day! 😊

[ardiffley-zipkin]

I wonder why Start Martin won’t be in Season 5 ? New directions or some nonsense.I won’t be watching season 5 ! The show was fine as it was. !!

I think alot of people are forgetting the nuances in this show. It has been repeatedly hinted William wants kids and Eliza's lifestyle isn't conducive to raising children. Atleast, not back then. I don't think he particularly has a problem with her job, it's her job undermining his that's affecting his male ego, esp with all the politics at Scotland Yard. Still, he keeps on reaffirming she's a good detective despite Arabella sowing seeds of doubt in his mind. He keeps writing letters to her bc he's acutely aware of how she thinks and despite the distance he doesn't want them to grow distant. He's still making an effort to patch up.

He's not running away rather he's giving her time to decide. This trope has been used time and time again for couples from Kate and Sawyer to Bellamy and Clarke.... sometimes it's difficult to appreciate what we truly want unless we've had time to truly reflect away from it.
Victorian women weren't as soft as sometimes portrayed onscreen, there were female wrestlers to prolific serial killers all active in that period. I'm sure the writers and creators are most aware of the historical backdrop. I have faith they will have the characters reach a solution that compromises neither character's integrity.
