... WCT: I have heard talk of Arthur and Merlin being gay icons. What is your feeling on Brokeback Camelot?

Colin Morgan: "I keep myself pretty separate from it, to be honest. I'm not a big Internet user. I don't do blogs or Facebook or Twitter or anything like that. The only thing I have is an email account.

But if you're looking for anything in any show in any form you can find it. It's certainly something we stick very clearly to the scripts and play them for what they are. And there's certainly no kind of like overtone or pretext that we're trying to show.
"

WCT: It has definitely helped with viewers, such as on Xena. So are there any love interests for Merlin this season?

Colin Morgan: "Sorry to disappoint, but there are no love interests this season for Merlin. It's not something the writers have explored..."


Merlin season four airs Friday at 10/9C on Syfy.
