She didn't end up well though. Well, it did not end up well for her in any case.
I am all for Fields kind of Bond girls. Not inept but not the elite of espionnage either. Or someone entirely foreign to Bond's world like Pat Fearing would be nice.
Won't happen i'm affraid. She has said words to the effect of being done with big Hollywood films. That said, she speaks highly of Barbara, so maybe Barbara could tempt her back for the lead Bond Girl.
Craig's Bond has arguably only had one Bond girl since Vesper, and that is Madeline.
I'm not sure if not having a traditional Bond girl necessarily allows more time for plot and character development. I think it's possible to have both, but maybe it works better to have him sleep with only one (either the main girl or the ancillary one, as in QoS and CR). There have been other instances where Bond has only slept with his girl at the end, such as FYEO, and that works too.
Well, Bond protecting a young girl? It would be a bold move and push the series in another direction. I think an older Bond (ie Craig) would suit the role of a body guard/uncle figure with an emotional connection but in a different way and just poking/hinting at Bond as the father that he will never be.
There are a few examples of movies where the hero protected a child (Witness, Man on Fire, Mercury Rising), it can work...but for a Bond movie?
Upon further reflection, I agree that the sex bit could appear cliched today, especially if not handled appropriately. I was not happy with the way it was injected post near death train fight in SP for instance. I'd like to see some porking personally, but if the sex is to be more limited then I think it's important to 'up' the glamour and class aspect, or else the film could end up being like any generic film.
Well Craig Bond also had Fields, Severine, Lucia Sciarra and one if not two unnamed Bond girls. They are minor Bond girls but still.
We got such a small taste of Fields but she could have worked great as a main Bond Girl.
Blunt would make a great Bond Girl, I've always thought so. I think I suggested her in my initial post.
Personally, I thought the presence of a main Bond Girl was sorely missed in SF, although I liked the movie on the whole. I'd prefer they not get in the habit of leaving out the main Bond Girl.
Admittedly your idea was good, though. I'd rather it not be a child though. A woman in her early 20's with a sweet and naive disposition (like Kara in The Living Daylights) paired with an aging Bond could work. The audience would probably find a 50+ Bond hooking up with a girl like that icky, so we can have a nice paternal relationship with them. Maybe she has a transparent crush on Bond fueled by daddy issues (not a silly nympho thing like the skater in FYEO, though) but he doesn't want to take advantage of her and maybe just as paternal feelings for her and isn't even attracted to her. So that Bond isn't completely chaste through the movie we could have him hook up with a woman along the way for some kind of "mission related" reason, and then have the girl get jealous.
Thinking of a past situation where this could have worked, if Rodge had come back for TLD this could have been the relationship with he and Kara. She and Dalton were pretty chaste as it was.

Thank god, how awful that would have been.
Comments like these should be instant disqualifiers to ever be considered even.
Good Point well made Major .
Bond should end up alone at the end of Craig's last.
These are some who would be great. opposite DC:
1. Morena Baccarin
2. Emily Blunt
3. Violante Placido
4. Pom Klementieff
