#mrs. Patmore

[sarasidlesaid]

Out of all the leadership positions at Downton Abbey I truly believe Mrs. Patmore has the hardest job. Not only because she cooks for the entire house but she’s surrounded by a gaggle of horny twenty- somethings who gather in her kitchen flirting and fighting.

Poor or Perfect - Chapter 1 - Lady_Lioness - Downton Abbey [Archive of Our Own]

Summary:

Poor Edith, one of the more unfortunate characters in the entirety of Downton Abbey’s nobility. No one favored the ugly, jealous sister who almost always remained abandoned and alone. She certainly hadn’t thought much of her when watching the show.

But now she’s here, stuck in the body of the middle Crawley sister. No friends, no gifts, no beauty, but can she somehow manage to change the story? Protect those she loves and become more than Poor Edith? Just maybe, she can become the Perfect Edith for Downton Abbey.

Acabo de volver a ver Downtown Abbey y vuelvo a coincidir sobre mi personaje favorito, Lady Edith Crawley y vaya sorpresa que me llevo al encontrar esta historia, lo único malo es que mata la espera necesito más capítulos, este fic es hermoso 💗

Mrs. Patmore accepting the marriage proposal in stead of Daisy will never be not infuriating

Downton Abbey 3 trailer dials up emotion as stars bid farewell in finale

[torchwood-99]

Downton: The Grand Finale Spoilers,

From previews found on Barnes and Noble

(First things first, Edith in stripes! Edith in stripes! Sorry, I just adore stripes, so I love this look on Edith.)

So it seems like the big drama with Harold and money is going to revolve around there no longer being money to repair some cottages, and turn a library into a music room to honour Violet and Martha (who is now confirmed to be dead).

I always suspected that the selling Downton hints in the trailer were misdirection, and as the family is considering a sentimental (as opposed to practical) measure like making a music room, it suggests that the family, although banking on Cora's family's money, does not start of in grave financial peril

Mary is given a particularly bold and confident look for a very exclusive ball, which she wears unaware that her world is about to come "crashing down", so it seems like this happens in the early days of her divorce, and she's just beginning to realise what the consequences are.

Mary will buy that dress while on a shopping trip with Edith. Will never say no to a shipping montage. Will be fun to see these two out shopping together. We saw they were already on good terms by last movie (Edith helped Mary with initial negotiations over the film). I wouldn't be surprised if this is the opening sequence. Mary and Edith swanning about shops, looking glamorous, feels like a fun way of opening things. Then that tea shot will be used for exposition. That's my betting anyway.

I called it that the hostess is hurrying Mary out of the room because there is royalty on the way. There's no way Mary's divorcee status wouldn't otherwise be known, and the hostess would have known Mary was present until now, so the arrival of royalty makes sense for the hostess trying to hastily get her out of the way.

We've got confirmation that Henry had an affair, which I suspected it must be, as adultery was really the only way of getting a divorce back then, and it was Mary filing for divorce. It'll be interesting to see if Henry still wanted to stay with Mary or not.

I'm very interested in that line about Henry "hiring and naming someone else in court", does that mean he hired someone to pretend to be his affair partner? I hope this means we get a look at the legal technicalities of getting divorced back then.

The winning back the county through "special guests" makes me believe they use their celebrity ties through Thomas and Guy to have a celebrity party. This will be the dinner party we see at the beginning of the trailer, where Robert does the toast for Mary. We see Mary and Edith wearing the same dresses at that dinner, later on as they're clapping Guy and random hot guy (who was making eyes at Mary because of course she would have another love interest) playing piano (Thomas is at that party too). So I think that the social scandal in Yorkshire will be resolved that way.

Going downstairs, we've also got confirmation that Mrs Patmore and Daisy are separating.

My bet is that Daisy will be taking over the kitchens, while Mrs Patmore retires to her Bed and Breakfast with Mr Mason.

There's going to be Ascot drama, which will be fun! I speculated early on that Mary's exclusion from the Royal enclosure will be brought up, and some sharp eyed fans noticed that everyone except Mary is wearing name tags for the Royal Enclosure (including Tom, which is...something)

A big cheer for Bertie, who has arranged a lunch for the Granthams in White's Marquee, where Mary is watching the race. Lovely, lovely Bertie, sorting out lunch for everyone. I'm expecting (demanding) some close ups of the food.

Here we get plot hints for Tom and Edith! Yay! I wasn't really expecting them to have a "plot", so much as just watching them react to the drama going on with Downton while generally vibing. Edith having a "showdown" with a "trickster", new character Gus Sambrook, sounds fun, and Tom meets an old friend. The reference to America makes me think this friend is someone he knew when he was in Boston with Sybbie. Whoever this Gus is, it sounds like he is seeking introductions at the race. I don't know how much screentime this plotline will have, but if Edith is to have a specific reasons for being the one to have a showdown, then it might be because she and Bertie, as the Marquess and Marchioness, might be particular targets of his. I hope Edith gets to have fun with her showdown, and I'm looking forward to Tom meeting an old pal. I also hope that the business Tom shared with Henry gets brought up, so it isn't entirely forgotten. Considering Henry has been travelling, Tom will have been the one running it anyway.

And the movie will end with Robert and Cora moving to the Dower House, where Violet used to live. I'm sure that Robert will have bittersweet feelings about this, and that Hugh will bring all the pathos.

LADY MARY DIVORCED FR???

Everyone’s reaction when they thought Thomas was leaving:

To them at Downton, Thomas is really a son, a brother, and a father.
