LOVE the show but enough with the Bates muder story line. Seriously! It's time for Fellows to move on and come up with another story line for them. Kill them, jail them, drown them in the pond, whatever - but please move on!

Most men would have lost it a little in the circumstances so I don't fault Bates for that. I just don't like the character much any more and think he and Anna should leave and run that hotel they dreamed off. They have money, so why not have them buy the Grantham Arms which would give them a decent story line and keep them on the show if Fellowes doesn't want to lose them.. It is a shame but I don't particularly care for them any more. I shipped them in Series 1 too!
I wonder whether this whole thing would have been possible in real life. I mean Anna and Bates were kind of cute in the beginning, but seriously. Do they never get a break? I mean I've never seen such bad luck before. Let them be happy and give us a break.
I think they're the best couple at the moment! I definitely think the depressing storylines should stop but only so they can be adorable and happy!
Well more and more are speculating that season 6 will be the ending of the show. If it is, everyone had better end on a happy note. I'm still hoping for a baby Bates.
Bates and Anna definitely want a child. That was clear in season 5. Though they may wish to wait until the whole Green affair is over, or even when they retire, as it might be difficult to raise a child while both working at Downton (unless of course they find someone to look after the child during the day).
For me, the Bates saga is basically all I am watching the show for :D (and Marys love life xD). I just skip through everything else.. ○•○
Agreed. I fast-foward through every Banna scene. Sorry Banna shippers, but this is getting annoying. I want to see Chelsie as the focus of Season 6. Carson and Hughes take care of the ENTIRE house and they keep it running. I think the focus has been on the Bates' storyline, Green's murder, and "Mary's men". Some other couples, like Chelsie and Baxley, deserve attention.
I used to love them. Anna was a sweetheart and Bates was so nice and smart. I have a special fondness for May/December romances. Whenever I rewatch the early episodes (meaning the first and the second season) I love watching their common scenes especially when Anna is ill and Bates brings her food.
But now they are BORING.
Well since we know now there willl be an ending to the mystery of Green's death, there may be hope that something new will happen in their storyline.
