Marian is portrayed by Lauren McQueen in Robin Hood, the most recent soap adaptation of the timeless tale. She has enjoyed great success in the soap industry in recent years.
The most recent adaptation follows Rob (portrayed by Jack Patten) and Marian during their early years, as has just been released on MGM+.
Before he became the infamous outlaw, Rob was a young 24 year old trying to find his way in life.
Marian is depicted similarly as a young, untrained girl who develops into a woman who finds her own voice.
The role of Marian is played by Lauren McQueen, a 29 year old actress hailing from Liverpool, whose acting debut was in the BBC miniseries, Good Cop.
Her career took off when she joined the cast of Hollyoaks as Lily Drinkwell in 2017 – a role which bagged her two British Soap Awards, reports the Express.

Her character had a relationship with Prince McQueen (Malique Thompson-Dwyer), and a self-harming plot that was based on a car accident.
The Mix, Mind, NSPCC, Samaritans, and Samaritans were the four charities that the show co-hosted the heartbreaking storyline, which then expanded to include group self-harm.
The plot won the British Soap Awards 2018 for Best Storyline and Best Single Episode, and Lauren made the decision to leave the soap to pursue new endeavors the following year.
Her character met a tragic end after her mental health deteriorated and she succumbed to sepsis following a self-harm relapse.
She appeared in Outlander: Blood of My Blood and Belgravia: The Next Chapter after Hollyoaks.
She shared her thoughts on working with her co-stars, including Sean Bean, as the Sheriff of Nottingham, as well as her most recent role in Robin Hood.
She expressed her excitement at working with him. He gives the Sheriff and the show an extra dimension. He is such a genuine, honest individual.
When we first met, we had a pleasant conversation about Liverpool. It was nice to have a personal relationship with him since he had a TV show there. I gained a lot from watching him on the set.
She explained that Marian “came to me naturally” through self-tiring, and that she was prepared to stamp her name on her.
The actor also praised brand-newcomer Jack Patten for playing Robin Hood, saying, “We clicked right away. Final audition was such a blast. Both of us both knew that the roles were appropriate. It sounded very exciting.
