#Michael Gregson

[erebusbabylon]

Could I request a wallpaper of Michael Gregson from Downton Abbey please? I’ve decided to take your advice and let myself be mortified in public. Thank you!

Being the editor of his own magazine, he is the ultimate prince prints charming <333 We have no choice but to stan the hottest feminist icon and baby daddy to come out of the 1920s.

This wallpaper is sure to illicit the judgment of strangers in public. I hope you are filled with embarrassment and shame.

Michael Gregson / Charles Edwards ✨

[hellyescharlesedwards]

Quashing this Michael Gregson/Downton Season 4 rumour once and for all (hopefully).

I've seen this going round for a while, that because of Charles and his busy schedule, Gregson got killed off and never made it past season 3.

Here’s the rumour taken from a Screenrant article:

Two words. Citation needed.

Where did this come from? Who said this? Fellowes? Production?

Charles?

Certainly not.

Under the cut is my theory (only a theory, but based on evidence I have gathered) as to the real reason why we got no Gregson after s3.

The biggest red flag to me is that Charles himself has stated that he was actually very keen to come back, saying,

"I’d have liked to have married Lady Edith, of course I would. It was denied me. I don’t know why.” - interview from OfficialLondonTheatre.com

I don't know why.

Now if the rumour was true, you would think Charles would have said something like, "I would’ve liked to have married Edith, but due to my other work commitments, I could not fulfill this wish," instead?

Granted, during season 4 filming, he was doing a stage job at the West End (a few Downton allumni, inc Joanne Froggatt, went to see him during its run), so maybe the rumour started based on the fact he already had a job so couldn’t have fit Downton in, right?

Not necessarily.

Did you know, that during season 3 filming, Charles was actually doing two acting jobs? Yes. Downton during the day, then a National Theatre production in the evening. His play opened on 23rd Feb 2013, then the day after, he was spotted filming in St Pancras station with Laura Carmichael. So it is entirely possible that he could have fitted in season 4 filming alongside a stage job if he had to.

But but but, I hear you cry, Charles would have had to take some time off from his play to do Downton? He could have done that yes; actors have been known to break off a theatre run for other projects, but nope. He made it to every single performance. The theatre would have announced if he had to leave for a period due to other acting commitments, but never did. So 🤷‍♀️

I'm going to add Fellowes could have also gone, "Right Charles, we're signing you up for season 4," and if he had already accepted the stage job, could've cancelled and done Downton as top priority (Charles did once have to forfeit a stage role for a TV role due to a scheduling clash - in 2022 he was signed up to do Best of Enemies at the West End, but Rings of Power was a much bigger commitment than preciously predicted, and due to a plethora of reasons, filming ROP AND perfoming BOE would have been an impossible feat).

So in conclusion, it wasn't Charles's fault we got no more Gregson. It was Fellowes's doing; he didn't want him back. Or did, but couldn’t think of how to bring him back.

TL;DR: Charles wanted to come back and could have fitted season 4 into his schedule, but Fellowes didn't ask him to return.

Also I'll add in my sources later, I'm just tired to fit them all in rn lmao

It's something of a meme at this point in our family but can we talk about how Michael Gregson's death was so fucking stupid.

He literally says 'Oh I can go to 3 countries to get this done: the first is Portugal, the second one is Greece, both warm, decently stable pro-British countries that would essentially be a fun divorce holiday, and the third one is Germany, you know, the country whose government was OVERTHROWN NOT 3 YEARS HENCE, IS CURRENTLY BEING INVADED BY FRANCE AND IS EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE WORST BOUTS OF HYPERINFLATION EUROPE HAS EVER SEEN. ALSO ITS BEEN LESS THAN 5 YEARS SINCE WE FOUGHT THE WAR EVERYONE DIED IN AGAINST THEM, SO PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE DESPISES THEM.

HMMM

I WONDER WHICH ONE I'LL GO TO

But beyond that he. He fucking dies in the Beer Hall Putsch. I cannot emphasise enough how much he died in the fucking Beer Hall Putsch. Not only did he go to Germany, he went to Munich on the DAY the Nazis started rioting. Jesus Christ he really was Edith's soulmate, I don't think any other mortal could be that cosmically unfortunate

Major Character Death, Minor Character Death, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Period Typical Attitudes, Cannon-Typical Violence, Implied/Referenced Suicide

Summary:

Emma’s life used to be fairly normal one for someone living in England in the early 21st century, nothing peculiar but that all changed when in 2021, at 19, she woke up in the past, more specifically 1909.

Emma turned up in Yorkshire, England on a mild day (what else) in the grounds of an estate called Downton Abbey. After literally falling onto the floor right in front of said owners of the estate, the Earl and Countess of Grantham, Robert and Cora Crawley.

——

A young girl from the 21st century ends up in the world of Downton Abbey. Not a typical one where it is another Crawley sister or where she’s from a world where Downton Abbey is a TV show.
