When you initially saw Daisy on Downton Abbey, did you know she would become so complex and important to the show? 🤔

[@clarkclarke]

No I didn't ...however I am glad we got to see her evolution..really beautiful...

[@Kim-zf5dp]

No, but I'm glad the writers transformed her character into someone we can all admire.

[@joannamallory2823]

Downton Abbey I really dismissed her as a character and dreaded any episode that featured her prominently.

[@auntiec6294]

Not at all! But I found her endearing from day one. Look forward to seeing where she's at in the upcoming movie!

[@malinhessedahl]

I like she and she is so good and kind and brave ♥️♥️

[@atir2723]

I am surprised that she didn't mention the great relationship Daisy developed with Mr Mason. It was so beautiful to see a girl with no family find a father figure who loved her as his own.

[@SuperLamarrio64DS]

That's exactly what I was thinking, having Mr Mason and her life completely changed her, she made drastic improvements in her life because Mr Mason had faith in her, and an unconditional love for her which she too had for him; he was the father she never had. It's just lucky that Mrs Patmore pushed Daisy towards Williams so much, else she wouldn't have had a relationship with his father.

[@kerrypitt9789]

[@su-rv2uq]

@@SuperLamarrio64DS I think it was great that Daisy had a family in the end, Mrs Patmore as a mother figure and Mr Mason as a father figure, BUT I completely disagree that it was right for Mrs Patmore to push Daisy into the relationship and marriage to William. Who she wanted to be with should have been completely Daisy's choice, regardless of what Mrs Patmore wanted, and to guilt her into marrying him, thus ruining any idea she had of a romantic, special wedding day for herself..just wrong. What if William hadn't died but was permanently disabled? Daisy would have been stuck, but married to him.

My grandmother was a scullery maid at 14 years old to a Mine Owner and worked up to cook's assistant in Yorkshire. Then she worked in a pub and married the boss's son. They opened a Fish and Chips shop and than as a young widow she had a shop in Yorkshire. She raised two children above the shop. Both her son and daughter had the highest education in scientific fields and granddaughters in good careers.

[@Noemieorokia]

You must be proud, I would be

[@pri_11]

[@elisecooper1942]

So pleased. Well done for her and your family.

[@SRose-vp6ew]

That is so the way. No one shouldn't get mad at that those who have honestly earned money. Money is not the issue a love of money to the point of harming others is the issue. A lot of good can be done with money. You never know what hard work went into it in a single or even over the generations. The only time to get mad is when the work done wasn't honestly gained. We see that too. My husband even had a relative who lost everything many times and try and try as he may he kept failing by no cause of his own. From wealth was generations of poverty only for my husband to work and pay his way through school and us to work HARD to be on our way to simply upper middle class willing now to lose it all over ethics. This also shows anyone can be the one in the generation that becomes successful or loses everything. My family came legally but could only be pennies paid migrant farm workers during the great depression after leaving communism. We are thankful to be in the US even if we are concerned by some of the things we are seeing with mass lies and invasive and illogical control now. I am hopeful that the American people will wake up and allow people to work freely again.

[@Samson-vd8ec]

She annoyed me when she was mad at Ivy. The whole part was hypocrisy for when she rejected William.

[@alisonbarlow7836]

Daisy was too hard on Ivy. I always felt bad for her in the first season because she had to bear the brunt of Mrs. Patmore's wrath, and then Ivy had to bear the brunt of Daisy's wrath. But at least she helped Ivy go to America.

[@fancybrooks3156]

@@heavenawilson5140 Mrs. Pattmore was very astute to observe that Daisy always went for the wrong guys. She fell for Thomas. She had no time whatsoever for William, even though he obviously was crazy for her. She fell for Alfred when he only had eyes for Ivy. Then when he did come around, she was so over him that it wasn't even funny. Perhaps the stars will align for her and the new footman in the movie. One can only hope. I, too, like her career progression from scullery maid to sous chef. Times were very hard back then for those in service, so any advancement was a major plus. Thankfully, that system of servitude is history, for the most part.

Later though, I thought about the time she was living in and how that thought probably would have never entered many peoples heads. Daisy was a really fun character. She gave me a mix of emotions, from rolling my eyes at her childishness, to being proud at her character development. I loved the mother daughter relationship Ms. Pattimore developed over time, and Mr. Mason being so fatherly towards her.

Ngl the writers treat her like she barely aged even though the show was meant to span over a decade. Even when she develops political views she's treated as an idealistic, naive child.
