Members I Am A Swede Posted December 3, 2012 Members Share Posted December 3, 2012 Last episode (number 5, season 3) which aired here this weekend was heartbreaking. I haven't cried this much over a tv-show since Kate Rowan died on "Heartbeat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 12, 2012 Members Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm seeing The Heiress on Broadway next week (Dan Stevens is one of the main stars), and I know he stops to chat with fans after the show, so I will be in full stalker mode! Though, apparently, he doesn't want to come back for season 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I have to laugh at how Joy thought she had done her homework by saying Rob James Collier is a "soap star" but didn't bother to do any research about the character he played on Corrie (Liam Connor) to know he wasn't still on the show. http://www.youtube.com/embed/hqqstQikutU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 28, 2012 Members Share Posted December 28, 2012 Weird reading on tumblr some of the seemingly reasonable people who say that Dan Stevens horribly betrayed them by leaving the show and that he owes the show his success, he should have stayed. I thought that type of reaction was more American. I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DAMfan Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Does anyone else watch Downton Abbey and would you like to live there? Don't think I would want to live there forever - however maybe stay a week and breakfast in bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 We have a thread somewhere. I love the show, despite some creeping faults (though I thought Season 3 was better than 2)--but most of us fans have watched all the UK episodes, so it's hard to discuss without spoiling PBS viewers (not sure what episode they are at).

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 http://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/37820-downton-abbey-discussion-thread/ And yes, ITV versions all the way, not the PBS atrocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted February 8, 2013 Members Share Posted February 8, 2013 Is the PBS version leaving out important scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 9, 2013 Members Share Posted February 9, 2013 Not anymore--they only edited episodes in Seeason one (ones they thought Americans wouldn't get--like aboutthe succession oif inheritance etc, and some for "pacing". I believe the DVD is uncut though). Once it became a huge hit they realized they may as well air every second they can. I find it hysterical that they worried PBS viewers would find Downton, by far one of the fastest paced UK period dramas I can think of, too slow. Speaking of I guess that Shondra Rimes (I think?) sorta US DOwnton (though I think it was set at a hotel) with John Barrowman wasn't picked up? Maybe people remembered how disastrous the 1970s US attempt at somewhat remaking Upstairs Downstairs was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 9, 2013 Members Share Posted February 9, 2013 *edit* To add I do think that it's dumb that PBS has to air it so much later than the UK one--I'm sure it's a copntract issue, but don't they realize how many people can see it already online, or even import the UK BluRays which are region free? There was an article in the paper back in Nov saying how lucky Michelle Obama was because she was such a big fan, the studio sent her over the DVDs so she would see it ages before American fans... Like, c'mon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted February 19, 2013 Members Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm hoping that his exit will propel the show to new, exciting territory. Besides, if not even Matthew is safe, it sorta gives the show an edge--everything seems possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
