Downton Abbey Cast: Where Are They Now? |⭐ OSSA

Downton Abbey captured our hearts for six elegant seasons. We became absorbed by the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their domestic servants.
Having wrapped at the end of 2015, the show returned for the box office hit Downton Abbey movie four years later. Jim Carter who plays Mr Carson recently revealed that the sequel will begin filming next year. While we wait for the brilliant Downton Abbey cast to reunite, we look at what they’ve been up to lately.
Michelle Dockery who plays Lady Mary Crawley is currently working on an exciting Netflix series. As her lady’s maid, Anna Bates, Joanne Froggatt captured many hearts. In her latest role she jumps forward in time.
Allen Leech who played Tom Branson has the luck of the Irish in both his work and personal life. Elizabeth McGovern as Cora Crawley recently produced her first movie. Meanwhile, her Downton Abbey husband Robert Crawley, played by Hugh Bonneville, recently received a real royal honour.
We also reveal the answers to the following intriguing questions. What close connection does Jim Carter have to The Crown? Which Downton cast-member is Laura Carmichael, A.K.A Lady Edith Crawley dating?
And what does Maggie Smith really think of her role as Lady Violet Crawley? Watch our OSSA’M video where we investigate Downton Abbey, where are they now?

Maggie Smith is hands down, my favorite. Her witticisms lifted the caliber of Downton several notches

[@sophiejayne3425]

I absolutely adore Edith, her growth and character development was impeccable. I was so thankful that after being seen as the side character sister for majority of the series she ended up having the higher title and in my opinion, the nicer man in the end. Truly wonderful character

[@HattieMcDanielonaMoon]

Edith is terrible and has destroyed/caused severe emotional trauma to several families and even forced the drewes off of the estate because of HER actions

[@reginakey8794]

I enjoyed Edith's character as well

[@cheeriosforhonkies8867]

She annoyed the hell out of me. Her character’s story just dragged about like a dead body. It was insufferable and I skipped a large portion of her scenes

[@Tomatohater64]

My favorite character was Anna. Her tremendous inner strength, beautiful personality, and dynamic, easygoing friendliness drew me in immediately. I've been following Joanne Frogatt's career ever since.

[@sherriekeller319]

I couldn't possibly choose a favorite. I do LOVE the wit of the Dowager Countess. No one could deliver those lines quite like Dame Maggie smith. The banter back and forth between her and Penelope Wilton is perfection. I truly love them all!!

[@juliehawkins3907]

Agreed 👍

[@amyjones2490]

Daisy is my favorite character. To see her grow from country bumping into an educated self assured young woman was a treat. Of course Dame Maggie is the best at her craft.

[@charlottereed8060]

I loved them all for different reasons. They all worked together so well and made the whole show very fun and believable!! KUDOS TO JULIAN FELLOWES AND THE CAST FOR A JOB VERY WELL DONE!!!

As a Cuban English teacher l strongly recommend this series to my students as an example of the most beautiful, educated display of language, including the American cast and also as a sample of civilized people discussing politics in the most civilized way.

But the actors from seasons 1-6 would be too old, some dead. That is a silly idea.

[@katherinejoy9048]

It would be fun to see, but there's several interviews with Julian Fellows saying he's hesitant about doing stories based in the 30s because WW2 has been a focus of soo many films & TV series. So don't think it will actually happen 😕

[@ajwinberg]

My favorite Downton Abby characters are Violet and Isabelle. Their banter reminds me of my two Aunts who are sisters. Lol. I also Love Tom Branson. He has a wonderful heart

It's Mrs. Patmore. Cooks in service are always know as Mrs. even if they have never been married.

[@janewb1]

Mrs Hughes and Bates and their marriage--excellent.

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Yes, Becky Anna Christina and John lamb. And Mrs Hughes and Gary, Mrs Lynn Patmore and her employee Sophie Ryan. 😔

[@janwheeler87]

The actress they showed the photo of playing Queen Elizabeth in The Crown is Olivia Coleman, they should have shown the photo of Imelda Staunton in the role. While both are longtime favorites of mine, Staunton can take any role and make it her own, she is such an underrated actress in America, she was absolutely perfect in Sense and Sensibility! Though come to that, so is her amazing husband, underrated! Jim Carter can take on the personna of absolutely anyone and play it perfectly. One of my favorite roles of his was in The Golden Compass, playing John Faa. That was such an amazing movie with a stellar cast, why they shelved the sequels is such a shame!!

[@luguy8347]

Mr. Darrow, his ever so complex, yet brave to vulnerable.

[@patsymontana7670]

Our local PBS station has been running Downton Abbey on Monday nights. It’s been heavenly bliss. There was a series on PBS back in the seventies called Upstairs Downstairs. The title says it all. It was a fabulous series. I think it would seem dated to today’s viewers, but Downton has stepped into the void!

[@billjahnke1612]

Jim Carter. Mr. Carson is the epitome of who we strive to emulate. A man experienced and opinionated of how to live.

[@SeanVplayer]

I fell in love with the character Anna Bates as portrayed by Joanna Froggat. I don't think I want to have that spoiled by seeing her displaying a 'bad side', LOL... She is So very lovely. I'm saddened that her marriage isn't working, but still pray that it can.

[@amylynnsgraphics]

All of them even the villains they all had such great acting chemistry together and gave us a great well rounded rich show! I always kind of felt bad for Edith even though she did some messed up things to her own sister and some innocent villager families, but a lot of it came from her own insecurities and desperation but she had classic middle child syndrome and i still wanted her to find her own happiness.
