"A bit at Dan [Stevens] yeah, for a while," Michelle shared. "But then, quickly I realized it did such great things for the story. I mean I was just heartbroken that he was going. I don’t really know what else could have happened. They would have just had more kids and maybe Mary would have had an affair or something."
