The Thomas character should have been sacked or moved on by now. They are not going to give him a “happy relationship.” That is not realistic for that time period. Maybe Anna will call her husband by his first name for once. They should be starting a family by now. I’m guessing Edith’s babydaddy is dead. Has the actor who played him been seen on set? The show shouldn’t last past season six.

In reply to atigrace. The maid thing was when Cora didn't have time for him and the maid came on to him because he was so kind to her. He just kissed a lot :-0 then off she goes.

Maggie Smith’s facial expressions make the show worth living for….I love Downton and have refused to leave my house when it’s on :-) Make the season longer.

First of all, I am delighted that Mosely and Ms. Baxter have a chance at something together. Bravo! I do not, however, wish to see anything further come between Lord and Lady Grantham…they’ve already had their fair share of the drama and divisions in their relationship. I do so wish for Edith to be able to be settled with someone who is unattached…whether it be her daughter’s father or another chap willing to overlook her past folly. She always seems to get the short end of the stick…(yes, some of those instances are her doing)…but I would like for her to come into her own at some point and not always be dodging bullets and living in Mary’s shadow. I know I’m beginning to sound very revisionist-fairytale-ish, but I must say I do love a good plot that ties up loose ends and not simply rehashes old frayed ends!

They should have people be on a side for Mary’s suitors… Who’s side r u on? Blake or gillingham?? And why won’t they just make Gregson come back? Edith needs a little sunshine

Lord G WAS NOT screwing a maid…just kissed her. I would love to see Barrow fall in love with a really sweet man and who would change him forever. Maybe he’s so mean because being gay in English society back then had to be hideously impossible. I am still smiling at the image of how season 4 ended, with Mrs. Hughes and Carson holding hands. Maybe they’ll be an item when the show returns. I really wish PBS would just get over it and broadcast at the same time as in England. Are they really afraid they will lose viewers? This show is so beloved, no one will stop watching it. Then I can stop feverishly searching for spoilers!!! I cannot believe we have to have to wait so long

Really wish Downton could go on for ever! In series 5 Michael Gregson needs comes back or else the it is likely that Edith will spend the rest of her life alone. She really could do with a bit of luck!

In reply to Tricia. I think you are confusing things a bit. Lord Grantham did have a strong flirtation with Jane but he never slept with her. Tom slept with a maid and that came back and almost bit him in the arse but Mrs Hughes to the rescue
