Downton Abbey

[Vintagejazz]

I believe it's back on Sunday. Hurray!

I really hope though that they focus more on Edith and less on Mary and her boring, all look the samey, suitors.

Well i guess Edith threw it all in when she got pregnant & decided to visit her child just about every day!

Either that or JF has forgotten that storyline!

Tom & Sybil married though, so there would be no need to bring up the baby as someone elses.

I'm not sure who knew what was going on between then & think it likely he would have been sacked had their intentions been known.

Whose intentions, diddl?

Tom & Sybil.

I agree it would have been more realistic that he would have been sent away once it was obvious that they were "interested in each other", for want of a better phrase.

Weirdly, though, despite the fact they were exchanging smouldering glances for literally years down at the garage where he polished the cars, I don't think anyone ever suspected Tom and Sybil were a thing.

Anyone watching?

Yes, I'm watching. Love the scenes with the Dowager and Mrs Crawley.

They are the best two.

yep... me and DH watching. He's a bigger fan than I am.

Oooh... that little hat Lady Mary is wearing... I've got one just like that!

Bless Lord Merton ... Does he actually have a first name ??!

Aww, Isobel. Say yes! He seems like a sweetie.

Aww, he's lovely. Oh to be in my dotage and have a man declare his love for me.

I'm watching! I love Downton!

Quick question: isn't Lady Rose the daughter of the Dowager's daughter, I can't recall her name, played by Caroline Bond? Therefore making Rose the Dowager's grand-daughter? If so, why did she just call her Aunt Violet? Or have I got the family tree branches muddled up?

Especially a man with such a lovely house!

Lovely proposal

Pepper - She isn't the Dowager's granddaughter. Think she's the daughter of Robert's cousin.

Has Thomas suddenly developed a heroin addiction?

Robert treats Cora so badly, she's clearly at the edge ...

Isobel is considering it and Violet does not want her to marry because it would leave her on her own ....

And because it would put Isobel higher up the social strata than her!

Aimlessly, ah yes, I seem to remeber her calling him Cousin. Thanks.

Aunt Rosamund that's it. Does she not have any children?

I don't think there's been any mention of Rosamund having children. Perhaps there's a future storyline there - She helped Edith because she has a love child of her own?

Whatsherface isn't going to get attacked again is she?

No mention of children - Rosamund info.
