Part of the intrigue when it comes to the “Downton Abbey” cast in the series’ final season is learning a thing or two more in regards to where they are going to go moving forward; given that many of the actors have sought out more representation in America, we cannot say that we are too […]
Given that Julian Fellowes is in complete control of “Downton Abbey” and its scripts, he can ensure that the story begins and ends wherever he wants.
