Downton Abbey Character List

This is an updated list through Series 6. The original list is here, although I’ve also been updating own list in a Word Doc since 2013, which is what this is based on. Below are the characters listed in alphabetical order by last name (for the most part). Characters not ever appearing on screen are in italics. For real people mentioned, I’ve only included them if the Crawelys et al. knew them personally (references to real historical figures will be included in a separate list). While I’ve included some family members without names who are mentioned, I have left out minor characters with no names and also animals (if you need that info or have any questions on that, message me). This does include information that is only included in the S1-3 script books.

I hope that the Keep Reading works on mobile, because this list is very long!

The Chase Files Daily Newscap 6/3/2019

Good MORNING #realdreamchasers! Here is The Chase Files Daily News Cap for Monday 3rd June 2019. Remember you can read full articles for FREE via Barbados Today (BT), Barbados Government Information Services (BGIS) or by purchasing a Daily Nation Newspaper (DN).

BLP REPORTS PROGRESS IN SEVERAL MINISTRIES –The idea of new islands, a new depot, Cabinet supporting the implementation of a cannabis programme and training for the youth were the order of the night at the end of the first half of the Barbados Labour Party’s (BLP) first anniversary political rally. Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy Kirk Humphrey, Minister of Transport Works and Maintenance Dr William Duguid, Minister of Youth and Community Empowerment Adrian “Medic” Forde, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Indar Weir and Minister of Labour and Social Partnership Colin Jordan were among the first slew of speakers at Carlisle Car Park, The City, where the rally was held. Humphrey said studies were being done and there was room for three islands off Barbados, best situated in the north, off Brandons, St Michael and St Philip, as the BLP strove to generate economic growth so all could “eat uh food”. Meanwhile, Duguid said a new depot would be built at Bath, St John, to service the constituency and surrounding areas. Weir, MP for St Philip South, noted Cabinet had just given its support to start a medicinal cannabis programme in Barbados, worth over $100 million. He said he held extensive discussions with farmers, and said there would be no banning of chicken wings unless an alternative local supply was in place. Forde, who leads Christ Church West Central, told the BLP faithful, the Government wanted to give the young people a voice and would seek to train them in technology, while Jordan asked Barbados to keep the faith and stay the course “because better times are coming for all of us” after giving his report on labour, the role of the Social Partnership and changes at the Employment Rights Tribunal. (DN)

$3 BILLION BOOST – A beautiful Bridgetown is coming. Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley last night rolled out the initial plans for a new-look City, saying revitalising the capital would be the first and most important thing on her agenda now that the economy had been stabilised. In addition, she revealed Government would soon be seeking over 300 acres of land specifically to provide 3 000 housing solutions, mostly for Barbadians earning less than $4 000 monthly and working in the public service. Mottley said that within the next seven years, a total of $3 billion would be pumped into a special Carlisle Bay project with hotels to be constructed between Batts Rock, St Michael and the Savannah Hotel in Hastings, Christ Church. (DN)

DUGUID’S REPORT – Hundreds of people clad in red descended on Carlisle Car Park, The City, as the Barbados Labour Party held a public meeting to mark the anniversary of the first year in offices. Minister of Transport Works and Maintenance, Dr William Duguid, took the stage first and gave a recap of what the island’s transport sector accomplished over that time. He said three factors contributed to the current state of the Transport Board, the reluctance of the last administration to buy any buses, effective privatisation of the entity and the issuing of over 300 permits to public service vehicles. Those factors, Duguid said, had resulted in low revenue and difficulties in servicing the many routes throughout the island. The Minister also promised more roads will be fixed through funds from the Inter-American Development Bank. These include The Belle, Highway 6, Lears and Highway 3 at Hothersal in St Michael; Carmichael, St George; Long Bay and Belair in St Philip, Searles, Christ Church; Ermie Bourne 1 and 2 in St Andrew and the eastbound section of the ABC Highway. Other roads to be fixed under Latin American Bank funding include Well Gap, St Michael; Welch Village, St John; St Catherine, St Philip; Babylon, St Andrew, Boarded Hall 1 and 2 in St George, Greenfield in The City and several areas in The Pine, St Michael. Duguid said citizens queried why certain roads – which did not appear to be as bad as others – were paved first, but they assessed the level of deterioration, the volume of traffic and so on. The Ministry also embarked on a nighttime road marking programme and replaced hundreds of broken lights on the ABC Highway. Duguid said more lights will be replaced. (DN)

MORE BUSES COMING, SAYS TRANSPORT BOARD CHAIRMAN – Chairman of the state-owned Transport Board Ian Gooding Edghill this evening briefly outlined a plan to put more buses on the road. He told the crowd at a Barbados Labour Party meeting celebrating its first year in office at Carlisle Car Park that a number of parked buses are being readied for inspection and this will add another 40 buses to the Transport Board fleet. Gooding Edghill also disclosed that an initiative was underway to retrofit another 30 buses. He also assured that the Government was working to deliver new buses as pledged. “ We also have to get some new units and we are working on that. “Have no fear, we will make buses available to the Transport Board,” he told the crowd. (BT)

TRUST LOAN FUND A SUCCESS, SAYS COMMERCE MINISTER – Government has provided 1,843 loans valued at $8.5 million under its Trust Loan Programme, Minister of Small Business, Entrepreneurship and Commerce Dwight Sutherland disclosed this evening. Expressing his satisfaction with the initiative, which was announced by Prime Minister Mia Mottley in the June 11, 2018 Mini Budget, Sutherland also reported that applicants have already started to repay their loans. “114 successful applicants have begun to repay their loans and indeed we can account for 170, 000 thus far in receipts as a result of persons who have begun to repay their loans,” said Sutherland as he reported on his ministry’s achievements before Barbados Labour Party supporters attending a rally marking the party’s first year in office. Sutherland noted that half of the loans were distributed to females and a wide cross-section of businesses from a range of sectors including manufacturing, tourism, retail and distribution, metal work, auto body repair, beauty, word work, sign making, print shops, construction, and child care have benefitted. “My mission is to give back life to business and to create intergenerational wealth,” he told the crowd at Carlisle Car Park. Sutherland also reported that his ministry was able to launch three new co-operatives, including the Barbados Taxi Cooperative and the Cooperative Investment Fund that provides loans to members. (BT)

YOUTH MINISTRY TO ROLL OUT TALK YOUTH TALK PROGRAMME, FORDE SAYS – Minister of Youth and Community Empowerment Adrian Forde says the Ministry will be rolling out a suite of programmes geared towards addressing the needs of the country’s youth. Addressing the Barbados Labour Party’s 1st Anniversary Political Rally at Carlisle Car Park, Bridgetown, on Sunday, Forde said the Talk Youth Talk programme will seek to get the youths involved in the development of the country. Forde said the programme will be launched in St Lucy. “We are going to take it in every nook and cranny in Barbados,” Forde said. “That is what serious Government is about.” “We are not talking down to them. We are setting up an avenue where young people can express their concerns,” he added. Forde also announced that his Ministry would soon be launching the Next Step Training Initiative and the Building Blocks Programme. “A lot of things that were not done, we are here to correct and we have a lot of corrective work to do,” he said. (BT)

BETTER SERVICE AT QEH – Minister of Health and Wellness Jeffrey Bostic has not yet delivered on the 24-hour polyclinics, but he is reporting other improvements at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) which should provide a better patient experience. Bostic delivered the report card on his ministry earlier tonight at the Barbados Labour Party’s public meeting at Carlisle Park, Bridgetown, on the anniversary of the first year in office. As they work towards building a better Accident & Emergency Department, Bostic said they introduced a second triage station – manned by a doctor – which has reduced the wait time in the department. The minister said there were other staff issues which had to be addressed, some of which were brought to his attention when he convened the meetings on the 24-hour polyclinic. These include transportation for those who work the graveyard shifts, security, nurses working and not being paid for five or six months on a stretch and doctors not being paid gratuity at the end of contracts. Bostic also announced more than 180 nurses would soon be appointed. The 40-odd elderly people who were abandoned at the QEH have all been relocated and housed, but Bostic said 20 new ones had taken their place. He said his ministry would have to work in conjunction with the office of the Attorney General and the Ministry of Elder Affairs to address the vexing issue of those who have abandoned the elderly but enjoy the benefits of their pensions. The Minister said discussion would continue towards a solution for the 24-hour polyclinics while also announcing nationals of St Lucia and St Vincent, for example, who have toiled in Barbados, would soon enjoy free healthcare once legislation made its way through Parliament. (DN)

NO BAN OR REDUCTION OF CHICKEN IMPORTS, MINISTER WEIR SAYS – Minister of Agriculture and Food Security Indar Weir this evening served notice that there will be no ban or reduction of chicken wings imports. He made the declaration while delivering his report card on his ministry’s performance as the ruling Barbados Labour Party hold a massive rally to commemorate its first anniversary in office since May 24 general election. Weir told the crowd at Carlisle Car Park that the issue was not merely about chicken wings, pointing out that several Barbadians were engaged in selling and buying the product to earn a living. “I cannot ban the importation of chicken wings, neither can I speak to the reduction of the importation of chicken wings until somebody is willing to come forward and fill the void. And as a responsible human being I understand that Barbadians must find a way to participate in and be part of the economic structure of this country. “I refuse to pursue any conversation where I am going to stop, reduce, ban chicken wings from coming into Barbados unless you can give me the alternative,” he declared to loud support from the crowd. Chief Executive Officer of the Barbados Agriculture Society James Paul has persistently called on the Government to ban the importation of wings, claiming that the local chicken farmers are losing much needed business. But Minister Weir issued a message to Paul: “I want James Paul to know that when he is … making his noise about chicken wings, you have got to understand the poor people. You claim to be part of a party that said that it stood for poor people and now you want to ask me to come and tell Barbadians they can no longer sell chicken wings. I can’t do it unless there is an alternative. “My conversation will not change in this country if I cannot see the numbers to justify the action. Go away, get the information and present me with it,” he said. (BT)

DIFFICULT TIMES WON’T LAST FOREVER: CADDLE – Minister in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Investment Marsha Caddle, says the Barbados Labour Pary (BLP) is aware that many Barbadians are experiencing hardship, but the they are calling on residents to stay the course. “There are some parts of this adjustment that are difficult,” Caddle said Sunday at the Party’s 1st Anniversary Political Rally at Carlisle Car Park, Bridgetown. “This part of the adjustment and the transformation is the hardest part,” she said, while noting that they BLP had managed to pull the country back from the brink of disaster. She called on Barbadians to “stay the course”, adding that “we know that weeping may ensure for a night, but my Barbados Labour Party family, joy is coming in the morning”. “There is an end in sight and we are putting the things in pace, laying the building blocks. This time next year we are going to see growth, we are going to see jobs, we are going to see wealth. We are going to see Barbadians benefiting more and more and moving to the point where every Barbadian can be the best they can be.” (BT)

NURSES NOT FOR FLEXI TIME – Government’s decision to introduce a 24-hour polyclinic service is now in limbo, with nurses, the Ministry of Health and the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW) at loggerheads, and set for another closed-door meeting today. The 24/7 service was to begin last Saturday at the Winston Scott Polyclinic in St Michael and the David Thompson Health and Social Services Complex in St John, but has since been postponed. It has all to do with additional hours, and some nurses have expressed their frustrations. “There is no nurse at Sir Winston Scott who will volunteer for flexi-time. We’re already short as it is and struggling to fill an eight-hour shift, and that is one of the issues the powers that be seem not to be able to comprehend,” one nurse told the DAILY NATION yesterday on condition of anonymity. (DN)

INCREASE IN PETROLEUM PRICES EFFECTIVE MIDNIGHT – Barbadians will be paying more for petroleum products effective midnight Sunday, June 2. The retail price of gasoline will increase from $3.88 per litre to $3.93 per litre, while diesel will rise from $3.08 per litre to $3.14 per litre. Kerosene will also increase from $1.41 per litre to $1.43 per litre. This represents increases of five cents per litre for gasoline, while kerosene and diesel increase by two cents and six cents, respectively. Similarly, the prices of liquefied petroleum gas have increased. The 100lb cylinder will retail for $158.71, up from $149.60. The 25lb cylinder will now be sold at $44.78, up from $42.50, while the 22lb cylinder will cost $39.57, an increase of $2.01. Additionally, the 20lb cylinder will retail at $35.97, up from $34.15. These price adjustments are in keeping with government’s policy of allowing retail prices to be reflective of those on the international market. (BGIS)

US NOW REQUIRING VISA APPLICANTS TO LIST SOCIAL-MEDIA NAMES –The United States now wants to know the social-media user names of people applying for visas, part of stepped up screening of foreign visitors and immigrants. The change, first announced last year and taking effect this month, follows on a 2017 order by President Donald Trump requiring heightened vetting for visa applicants, according to a State Department official. An estimated 14 million travelers and 710,000 immigrants to the US each year will be affected by the changes, according to notes in the Federal Register. The official said national security is the top priority and every would-be traveler or immigrant already faced screening, including requirements to list their travel history, family member information, and previous addresses. The American Civil Liberties Union had opposed the proposal, arguing the questions would create “an environment ripe for profiling and discrimination.” “National security is our top priority when adjudicating visa applications, and every prospective traveler and immigrant to the United States undergoes extensive security screening,” the U.S. State Department said in a statement to the AP. “We are constantly working to find mechanisms to improve our screening processes to protect U.S. citizens, while supporting legitimate travel to the United States.” In the past, this enhanced screening information, including email, phone numbers and social media had only been required for applicants who had been identified for extra scrutiny — primarily people who had traveled to areas with a high degree of terrorist activity. Roughly 65,000 applicants per-year had fallen into that category, according to the AP. New questions on the visa application forms list social media platforms and require applicants to provide any account names they may have had on them for a five-year period. The forms also request phone numbers and email addresses applicants have used over the past five years, along with their international travel and deportation status and whether any family members have been involved in terrorist activities. These new obstacles to immigration come at a time when competition for highly-skilled talent is at an all-time high. And according to data from the Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development, the US is no longer the top-ranked destination for highly skilled workers or entrepreneurs. Increasingly, immigrants are turning to countries like Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand as destinations to settle and start businesses or find work, OECD data suggests. It’s a (not unexpected) turn of events that could have significant consequences for the country as tensions with China continue to rise. (BT)

SHOOTING DEATH SHOCKS BELAIR COMMUNITY – Residents of Belair, St Philip are alarmed by the shocking act of gun violence that has disturbed their peaceful neighbourhood. Twenty-four-year-old Ashantio Blackman was gunned down outside his home around 8:25 Friday night, while his girlfriend and four-year-old son were inside. When Barbados TODAY arrived at Blackman’s residence, his brother, who was one of the first to discover his body, declined to comment. However, neighbour Karen Moore said residents were traumatized. Still shaken by the incident, Moore shared that she was in her bedroom lying down when “about eight gunshots” echoed throughout the district. She remained in her house for approximately ten minutes before she ran outside and saw Blackman’s limp body lying across the street in a pool of blood. According to Moore, Blackman was shot behind his home and succumbed to his injuries while running away. “It was shocking because this is a very quiet and close-knit community. It was really shocking. Belair has never had anything like this before . . . I think the residents were traumatized because we are not accustomed to this,” Moore told Barbados TODAY. Moore described Blackman as “ a good person”, and Trevor Gittens referred to him as “a quiet individual”. Gittens, who is a friend of the family, was shaken by the circumstances surrounding Blackman’s death. He was in the backyard when the shooting occurred. “I heard the shots and I was so frightened I went and park the bicycle between the house. I was scared, I didn’t look out,” Gittens said. “I feel really bad about his death. He was a guy who didn’t use to go out a lot. He mostly carrying school his little boy and go for him on evenings,” he added. Blackman’s death marks the country’s 26th homicide for 2019. (BT)

MAN SHOT IN HANDS, LEGS IN BLACK ROCK – Police are investigating an incident which left a man nursing gunshot wounds. Around 2:15 p.m. on Saturday, police responded to reports of shots being fired in the area of Fernihurst, Black Rock, St Michael. On arrival police learnt that Bobby Jones, a resident of the area, was shot in his hands and legs by an unknown person. Jones was transported to the QEH by private motor car where he was listed in stable condition. Anyone with information that can assist with the investigation is asked to contact the police at Emergency number 211, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-5477 or Black Rock Police Station at 417-7500. (BT)

PANTON, FENNELL JR CRASH OUT OF SOL RALLY – Car parts flew in all directions after defending champions Jeff Panton and Mike Fennell Jr crashed on the Sagicor Kendal Stage of the Sol Barbados Rally 2019 today. Co-driver Fennell Jr was unhurt but Panton complained of back pains. He was examined by paramedics on the scene and taken to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital for observation. The incident occurred on the first stage of the third and final day of the rally at Kendal, St John, in a chicane in the area of Guinea Plantation before noon. Trevor Thorpe, The Nation’s writer at the rally, said Panton had “a little too much wood in the fire” and lost it while he was trying to catch race leaders Dane Skeete and Tyler Mayhew of Barbados. The Jamaican pair had won the last three titles and also have a fourth when it was tagged the International All Stages Rally. Meanwhile, Skeete is following in the footsteps of his father Roger “The Sheriff” Skeete, hoping to bring the crown back to Barbados. Thorpe said thousands are watching the rally which is currently on lunch break. There are seven more stages to go. (DN)

DANE’S THE NEW SHERIFF – A new sheriff’s in town. Dane Skeete, son of Roger “The Sheriff” Skeete, and co-driver Tyler Mayhew were declared provisional winners of the Sol Rally Barbados yesterday. Driving the Sol/CO Williams Sand & LIME/Automotive Art Subaru Impreza WRC S12B, they returned a total elapsed time of 1 hour, 6 minutes, 45.18 1 seconds. They are also provisional winners of the WRC group. But it was not all plain sailing for the pair, who started the final day with a 64-second lead over defending champions Jeff Panton and Mike Fennell Jr. (DN)

US INSTITUTE INDUCTS BARBADIAN SUPERSTAR INTO 'WALL OF FAME' – The Washington-based Institute for Caribbean Studies (ICS) on Saturday inducted Barbadian pop icon Rihanna into its “Wall of Fame” as Caribbean nationals here celebrate National Caribbean American Heritage month. ICS said that Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is “one of the biggest pop stars to emerge from the 2000s.” Born on February 20, 1988, Rihanna grew up in the parish of St. Michael in Barbados Barbados and began singing in primary school. “New York music producer Evan Rogers heard Rihanna perform while vacationing on the island and brought the then 16-year-old to the United States to record demos and shortly after, Def Jam’s acting president – Jay-Z, signed the young Barbadian. The Barbadian pop sensation is now the recipient of eight Grammy Awards from 24 nominations. “She is a businesswoman, too, and is a co-owner, with various other music artists, in the music streaming service Tidal,” ICS said. It noted that Rihanna, in 2006, formed the Believe Foundation to help terminally ill children. “She frequently performs in charity concerts to create awareness about social issues and to raise money to help the underprivileged,” ICS said. “So far, she has helped to raise money for children in need, cancer research and Haiti earthquake victims.” In 2018, the Government of Barbados appointed Rihanna an ambassador – promoting education, tourism and investment.
