I wonder since when did Baxter know Thomas is homosexual? She is not surprised when he mentions this to Dr. Clarkson. It's no wonder Thomas doesn't have a girlfriend and always treats him like a friend or even a brother. Then I think he told her long before or she figured it out herself.

I wonder about it because I want to write a few short stories with the working title "They Met at Downton Abbey". I'm going to write down how I imagine the past of John Bates, Anna, Daisy, Mr. Baxter, Mr. Hughes, Carson (Cheerfull Charlies: D) and of course Thomas. Maybe if I'm inspired, I'll add William and someone else ...

What do you think I should include there? I will be grateful for any suggestions.

Re-watching Downton Abbey during lockdown and now in last season.

Edith was so stupid for not using contraceptive protection when she went to bed with Michael Greyson.

Then, she was super stupid for not being honest with Bertie Pelham about Marigold.

I live in Poland and watched in Polish. In the Polish translation, the name of Miss Baxter is NEVER mentioned. Does anyone in the English version ever call her "Phyllis"?

I was looking at something to do with Downton (obviously) and it asked this question and it made me laugh so I hope to cheer you up today!

Did Violet ever learn what a "weekend" is?

It was so traumatic! I just have to say, who didn't love him??????

Strange phrase that keeps being used in the Downton Abbey script when Downton Abby is set in Yorkshire and Yorkshire is north of London by 219 miles. In many script lines the world "up" is used such as "I'll train up to London", "I need you to come up to London.", "I'm going up to London."

I'm assuming the use of "up" is a common expression to mean "to travel to" regardless of directional fact.

Robert made many bad decisions in my opinion.

He was wrong about Sybil's physician and the subsequent birth siding with the title obstetrician over Dr. Clarkson.

He was wrong about the Canadian rail road investment and lost all of Cora's money.

He was wrong about the financial side of things in running the estate by opposing Matthew's plans to modernize the operation to become self sufficient.

He was wrong about not involving Mary after Matthew's death in the running of the estate. The Dowager had to tell him his thinking was wrong.

He was wrong about not having the famous Dame Nellie Melba at dinner. Cora had to tell him off for his error.

He was wrong in his opposition to Cora's involvement in the Downton Abbey Cottage Hospital scheme. Rose had to set him straight.

He may have been a Lord, but he didn't have any education regarding how to run a business.

Her ex-husband was giving the speeches at the wedding reception, but Susan Flincher was no where to be seen. Why? Had the Crawley family finally had enough of her sad and angry behavior? I've watched the entire series several times but her absence was never explained.

Strange plot line season 2, episode 6 about burned Patrick Crawley. The character grew up in England speaking with an English accent but very strange that he now speaks with a Canadian accent.

Have just binge-watched on Amazon Prime, and I must say the story of Green's death was rather long drawn-out. Bit surprised the police took it as seriously as they did, accusing the Bates family. why would they even think they were involved in something that happened in London?

A laugh out loud moment is when Thomas asks the Dowager Lady Grantham to dance. It was a waltz and not, as she said, the “awful foxtrot.” Thomas asks, “What about the Black Bottom,” a dance based on the Charleston. And the Dowager said, “Just keep me upright and we’ll try to avoid it.” 😂
