(Recap by Fashion Magazine)
We almost jumped off a ledge when we thought that last week’s two-hour marathon finale would be the last that we’d see of the Abbeyers for quite some time, but alas, there was still a Christmas miracle in store! In February, no less. Last night’s holiday special taught us that it’s still okay to wish on stars, and eyelashes… and Santa—because our wish came true. Matthew and Mary finally got together! In the snow, no less! And now, for the rest of the seemingly inconsequential details:
We look back at the best and worst Christmas moments
Jessica Brown Findlay has confessed that “even the red carpet” leaves her starstruck at showbiz events.
The actress works alongside stars such as Dame Maggie Smith and has an audience of millions on Downton Abbey, but premieres and awards dos still give her the jitters.
The 22-year-old, who attended the Baftas last week, said: “It is completely nerve-wracking. To say it wasn’t would be lying, massively, they are scary… Awards are kind of surreal and it’s just amazing to be invited. Even the red carpet starts making me go, ‘Wow!’ Just as I was getting out of my car at the Baftas, George Clooney just got out of his car, which was wonderful, because it massively took the pressure off me, and I could just run up the carpet.”
Jessica will be joined on the next series of Downton by US star Shirley MacLaine, who will play her character Lady Sybil’s maternal grandmother.
“I haven’t met her yet, I’m really excited to meet her, and probably a little bit nervous, I should be I suppose, I should be nervous about that,” Jessica said. “There’ll be cat fights all over the place (between Shirley and Dame Maggie),” she teased. “No, I’m really excited, it’s going to be wonderful to have those two hugely established actors together.”
Jessica remained tight-lipped about what lies in store for Lady Sybil and her new husband Branson. “They’re just a really beautiful couple and I’m so glad it worked out for them. I’m really excited to go through all the scripts and see what will happen to them,” she added.

As we already said in this post, Matt Milne, who recently played Andrew in the movie War Horse, is joining the cast as a footman called Alfred. According to Digital Spy, his character is the nephew of O’Brien.
“Downton Abbey” has just wrapped its second season in the U.S., but talks about the upcoming chapter have been brewing. In a recent PBS chat session, Brendan Coyle confirmed what people might have predicted of his character after seeing the second season finale as saying, “He [John Bates] begins series three in prison.”
While he refused to reveal more details of Mr. Bates’ future, the BAFTA Award nominee was willing to share other tidbits from the upcoming season. “There is a wedding…or two?” he teased before adding, “Shirley MacLaine is amongst us….the scripts are superb…stick with us.”
Talking further about the addition of MacLaine to the cast ensemble to play Lady Grantham’s mother, Coyle gushed, “This casting is ingenious…she is much loved here, her scenes are brilliant and I can assure you she will be a dazzling addition to Downton Abbey.”
The upcoming third season of “Downton Abbey” will be set in the 1920s. This era will affect the the characters, in fashion, entertainment, travel, work as well as society. According to The Hollywood Reporter, fans can expect to see slim low-waisted flapper silhouette as corsets are no longer trending. The ladies will additionally style their hair in bobs and flapper spit curls.
In entertainment, the characters may enjoy cocktails which at that moment make their debut in London’s first night clubs. Ragtime jazz will play in dance halls, as the characters will dance the Black Bottom, the Shimmy and the Charleston. Two new inventions, gramophone and the crystal radio, will add pleasure in their lives.
In language, the characters will be using new slang and phrases such as “bee’s knees” (the ultimate compliment), “cat’s meow” (another top compliment), and “giggle water” (alcohol). In society, women will enter workplace as they are not only limited to domestic duties.

When you have only a few episodes and a Christmas special to address World War I and its aftermath, needless to say, you have to cover a lot of ground very quickly. So it went for the Crawley family and its servants at Downton Abbey, the PBS “Masterpiece” series that concluded its second season on Sunday night after a stretch in which: the heir presumptive, Matthew Crawley (played by Dan Stevens), appeared to be grievously wounded in battle and left paralyzed, only to make a miraculous recovery; Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) pursued her practical if unromantic courtship of the ruthless newspaper publisher Sir Richard Carlisle (Iain Glen); the kitchen maid Daisy (Sophie McShera) married ill-fated William (Thomas Howes) before he died from war injuries; the housemaid Anna (Joanne Froggatt) and valet Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) married before he was arrested for the suspected murder of his previous wife; and, just when everything seemed to have settled down, a bout of Spanish influenza knocked off Matthew’s fiancée, Lavinia Swire (Zoe Boyle), leaving him free to become engaged to Lady Mary.
Also: the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) made some cutting remarks and the dog Isis went missing for a bit.
These miseries, machinations and occasional moments of joy were all set in motion by Julian Fellowes, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter (“Gosford Park”) who is the creator and an executive producer of “Downton Abbey.” In a recent telephone interview from Britain, where work is underway on a third season of the show, Mr. Fellowes, 62, spoke about the many story lines at play in Season 2; the American television series he is influenced by; and when, if ever, “Downton Abbey” might come to a conclusion. Here are excerpts from that conversation.

If you were lucky enough to be a cast member on the wildly popular British TV series Downton Abbey, written by Oscar winner Julian Fellowes, you might be reluctant to offer script guidance.
But actress Lesley Nicol, who plays the perennially exasperated cook Mrs. Patmore on the acclaimed British drama — which begins airing on Vision TV this week — had the pluck to do just that.
“I have made a suggestion,” the 58-year-old actress announced with a laugh during a recent telephone interview from London. “I don’t know whether this will come to fruition, but I’d like to see Mrs. Patmore in love.”

Downton Abbey, the Emmy-winning period drama, follows the lives of aristocratic Crawley family and their servants in a grand Edwardian country house in 1912. The sinking of the Titanic leaves Downton Abbey’s future in jeopardy, and the arrival of Matthew Crawley as heir causes anxiety amongst the family. Will the family be able to hold things together when put under pressure?
Meet Dan Stevens, the 29-year-old British actor who plays lawyer and heir Matthew Crawley. Dan has had a long history in theatre acting and has a particular penchant for period dramas.
We chatted to Dan about the show’s popularity, learning to fit in and his South African wife, Susie Hariet.
