One thing can certainly be said for Maggie Smith at this point in her career: Everyone seems to love her. Has there been an actress more routinely honored by anyone and everyone than she has? If there has, we want to know who it is! Anyhow, this week the 79-year old actress, best known these […]
Are things going to be going any better for Lady Cora on “Downton Abbey” season 5 Sunday? We wouldn’t count on it. Instead, Elizabeth McGovern’s character may continue to struggle when it comes to figuring out whether or not she is making the right choice for herself in spending time with a new man in […]
We’ve seen rumors like the one that we are about to report before, but this may be the time that we need to start taking them a little seriously when it comes to “Downton Abbey.” According to the Radio Times, there are “sources” (which could be a variety of different things) within NBCUniversal who claim […]
At this point, Julian Fellowes has to be thought of as a bonafide rock star when it comes to “Downton Abbey.” The man is responsible for creating quite possibly the biggest crossover hit in a generation, and he also receives constant commendation to go along with it for the quality of his writing.

(Spoilers ahead for […]
Does the Earl have anything substantial to worry about when it comes to Simon Bricker on “Downton Abbey“? We are probably going to find out next week when the series returns to its normal timeslot. (No more being delayed 15 minutes!) Richard E. Grant will return once again, and it becomes more and more clear […]
This season, Michelle Dockery has had a chance to perform what may be arguably one of her greatest storylines yet on “Downton Abbey,” and with that, you have to remember that there were a few moments in the past where she could have jumped ship. Many other actors who started with the show, most notably […]
What we are seeing right now with three generations of women on “Downton Abbey” season 5 is somewhat strange, somewhat surprising, but also somewhat understandable, when you look at the characters involved. (Warning: Spoilers lie ahead for Americans!) For example, take a look at Cora. Elizabeth McGovern has been playing a woman who is by […]
Is love going to be in the air for the Dowager Countess Violet on Sunday night’s “Downton Abbey“? We cannot quite say that at the moment, but we can at least confirm that she will at least entertain a night on the town with the Russian man we saw near the end of this past […]
