Hail Mary
Edith might still be the single lady (who will continue her controversial affair with her newspaper editor, Mr. Gregson), but, sorry — all we care about is who Lady Mary will spar with next following Matthew's death. Unfortunately, she likely won't date any of these men, but she will have "more than one love interest," according to Michelle Dockery. But one of them won't be Tom Branson, despite your fan fiction.
Every Rose Has Its Thorn
Downton's answer to Lindsay Lohan will continue her hard-partying ways... and, this time around, will ask Anna to join in the fun. Here's guessing after a night out, this Rose doesn't come out smelling so sweet.
Thomas Comes Clean
You better believe Downton's under-butler will continue to serve up drama this season. And, based on early footage from the PBS drama, it seems Thomas might reveal the biggest secret to roam downstairs: The fact that O'Brien caused Cora's Season 1 miscarriage. Talk about a soap opera.
No Lovin' For Carson
Sorry Mrs. Hughes and Carson 'shippers: A romance is not in the future for the tight-knit co-workers. Said Phyllis Logan, the actress who plays Mrs. Hughes, about her character's relationship with Carson, "We still have occasional spats here and there. We still have a lot of respect for one another. We occasionally get to drink a glass of sherry together…not as often as I would like."
You Will Still Hate Daisy
Even though the character is all grown up, according to the actress who plays her, Sophie McShera: "She’s had such a journey and even during her terrible teens, you know that bratty teenage stage which she’s still in a bit." And, yes, she's still jealous of Ivy. How daft, Daisy.
