What’s new in Downtown abbey?? You may ask. Well it all new!!

 The 4^th season has bring lot of change in the lives of our beloved characters, unless many of them were not from the party this time; Sybil of course, Mrs. Sarah O’Brien and what a loss for downtown after Matthew died! I really miss him and nothing is the same after he left the series. And by the way I have to comment his so ridiculous death, I think that Julian Fellows was not very inspired when he wrote the departure of Matthew from the series. I really think that it missed originality.

 However, his death was a real shock for the audience as well as the crawly family; Mary spends very hard time trying to forget him and to carry on her life, and his mother Isobel did not really recover unless she keep living.

But at the same time I find this 4^th season very exciting, it was mostly full of romance which was missing in the 3^rd one. Mary & Blake & Gillingham, Rose & Jack Branson & Bunting, Isobel & Lord Merton, Harold & Madeleine, Martha & Lord Aysgarth, Daisy & Ethan, Hughes & Carson as you see LOVE was from the party!!! I think that through all this romance, the season was interesting!

But our main concern is still the relation ‘Downstairs and Upstairs’ and I think that we are served in this side too, even though the Crawly are very kind.

But as Thomas has Sayed in one episode, when he was talking to Jimmy He told him that Mr. Crawly is very friendly and Thomas answered: “yes, but we still call him SIR” I find these situation very funny and so true.

But we can notice in some episodes that the differences are and still present in Downtown, like the episodes in which Mr and Mrs. Bates are not allowed to enter at the restaurant because they are servants until Mrs. Crawly came in and order the waiter to let them enter. This example is more related to the differences in society. Like in another episode, there was a party at the house and the servants were far behind and the aristocracy in front of the singer.

Season 3:

What a crispy season!!! so much happened in Downtown Abbey, and so much of it was in my taste tragic, especially that one of my favorite character died; I mean of course Sybil; the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Crawly .

But still one of the best moment of this season was to see Mathew an Marie walking to the church and saying ‘yes’ to each other, it was actually a moment that I was waiting for too long.

New characters entered in the house, which had made some change in the routine of the Downstairs lives. Thomas, however; was very unlucky especially in love that season, and Mr. Bates had face very difficult times in prison fortunately his beloved wife Anna was there to support him and Mr. Crawley who helped in his release. And we cannot forget Mrs. Hughes who discover that she was ill, she had a concert.

And poor Edith and her relationship misfortunes. After a complicated courtship between her and Sir Anthony Strallan, the two finally plan a wedding and make it all the way to the altar—where Anthony leaves her, sobbing and rejected.

Yet, nothing had really change in the relation ’upstairs, downstairs’. Nothing at least in downtown , but in Mrs. Isobel’s house a new maid come in, it was Ethel who were a maid in Downtown but had to leave her work there because she was pregnant and after her son’s grandparents take him away from her; she become a prostitute. Mrs. Isobel find her and she proposed her to become her cook to start a new life. But it was not that easy, some people like Mr. crawly and Mr. Carson who refused to accept the fact that a prostitute worked for the nobility.

However, Mr. Crawly had finally accept but only partly Tom Branson_ Sybil’s husband_ in the family. Mr. Crawly had put lot of effort to finally accept him because Tom was still a Chauffer for him. In one of the scene; when Lady Sybil was given birth to her daughter, and when they had to decide which doctor to trust, he refused to take Tom’s point of view, unless; he was the concerned one.

And in another situation, when Tom was in trouble and was followed by the police, Mr. Crawly clearly said that, he is going to help him only for Sybil’s sake. Through this kind of situations; we can say that in downtown Abbey, nobility stays nobility; and working class stays working class.
