FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
The new plot, set in the aftermath of the First World War, will see the
aristocratic family threatened with the loss of the entire Crawley fortune –
again for reasons that are not revealed.
Hugh Bonneville’s character, the sixth Earl of Grantham Robert Crawley, is
seen sobbing as he admits the family wealth has vanished in a scene with
actress Elizabeth McGovern, who plays his wife Cora Crawley.
“Are you really telling me that all the money has gone?” the Countess
asks her husband.
After a pause, he tells her: “I’m afraid so.”
Julian Fellowes, the creator of the 1920s period drama, said the financial
upset will remind the audience about the background differences between the
Countess and Earl of Grantham.
“Cora is less afraid of the future than Robert is, she’s much less afraid of
change and now you will start to see more and more of that.
If anyone understands the world that is coming it is Cora,” he said.
The battle of the matriarchs will also be revived with the feisty arrival of
veteran American actress Shirley MacLaine, who will appear as Cora’s
“dramatic” mother.
The 78 year-old, who admitted to never having watched Downton Abbey before the
role, said working on the set had been an extraordinary experience.
“We were shooting outside in the rain and in the wind with our formal gear on
and nobody seemed to notice,” she said. “So I just stepped right in there
and acted like I didn’t either. I had a fabulous time.”
Downstairs there will also be a new addition. Alfred, a lanky man servant who
lacks experience, will fall prey to Downton Abbey’s resident bully Thomas
but as money woes upstairs worsen, concerns will turn to whether they will
keep their jobs.
Added to that is the turbulent reappearance of chauffeur Tom Branson, now
married to Lady Sybil, and confusion about how he should be addressed.
Ever the one to preserve class formalities, Butler Charles Carson refuses to
call Branson by his new title – which is not revealed – stalwartly declaring
“I’m not addressing a chauffeur”.
The ongoing love-affair between head valet John Bates and head housemaid Anna
Smith, played by Brendan Coyle and Joanne Froggatt respectively, is also set
to continue with Anna struggling to clear his name after his shock
imprisonment last season.
Coyle, who revealed he had perfected his character’s limp using a pebble in
his shoe, said: “I still think there is a possibility Bates is the killer.
What I love about this is that it is left for the audience to decide.”
Season three of Downton Abbey, which recently won a record 16 Emmy
nominations, is due to air in September.
