The unimaginable death of Matthew Crawley (played by Dan Stevens) was as devastating to viewers as it was to the fictional family he left behind in Downton Abbey. The shocking exit of one of Downton’s popular characters seemed illogical to many viewers. The leading man, who had just become a new father, had so much potential left unexplored. Loyal viewers of the show had lots of reasons to get invested in the character. And just like the car accident that claimed the Downton heir, there was little anyone could do to change Matthew Crawley’s fate off-screen.When the episode involving the death of Matthew Crawley first aired on Christmas Day in the United Kingdom, there was an outpouring from some horror-stricken viewers. Many claimed their happy holiday had been ruined by such a terrible tragedy, especially after the character had just welcomed his child with wife Lady Mary. Viewers in America were similarly stunned only a few weeks later on PBS. But it wasn’t just the audience who wished for a different outcome. Behind the scenes, the show’s creative team pulled out all the stops to try to find another way.RELATED: The 10 Best British Dramas Based On A True Story, RankedRELATED:The Crown Trailer Unveils Two-Part Release Date for Final Season on Netflix
