phantom-- If Bard were to have a love interest it wouldn't have to play a huge part in the story, nor would she have to be a Xena character, as was seen in the movie-version of certain other LotR ladies... *cough cough*

But it could be included just as a little side bit, to lend some emotion and show what everyone has to lose should they be defeated.

The problem with Bard is that he doesn't appear until near the end so, unless they expand his role to feature throughout, he won't really work as the peg onto which to hang the love interest. Can't see what else would work, though ... --SpM

Oh, yes... I'd forgotten that he wasn't even there most of the time... drat. Must reread the book.
