The Most Shocking Secrets and Scandals | Downton Abbey

[@solmartel360]

The actress who plays Sybil has the most beautiful, balanced facial features I've ever seen! She is truly gorgeous!

[@carolablue5293]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@m.layfette6249]

When Anna screams after hearing the verdict is beyond heartbreaking. 💔😰

[@OzmaOfOzz]

Yes it was 😢 Anna was one of the most beautiful characters on the show. Always kind, graceful and thoughtful of others. I love her dearly.

[@melaniekendall4903]

It's only a TV show 😂😂😂

​@@melaniekendall4903"Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit."

[@myytfamily]

@melaniekendall4903 Shock, horror ... how could you possibly think such things, let alone write it: has your internal editor failed you? Every word and action is as genuine and truthful as "The Crown", I promise you. 🧐

[@myytfamily]

@m.layfette6249 Funny though 🤣

[@KeenyKeenz]

The fact that Carson was a performer in his younger days is considered a scandal comparable to dead lovers in the bed and murder trials is hilarious lol

[@Robert08010]

It was to HIM!!!

[@dhanashreebende]

😂😂😂

[@myytfamily]

A "performer" serving in a great house! Is there no limit to "modern ways"? One shudders to imagine whatever might come next.

[@North_West1]

The horror 😱 not a performer. When societal believe was your destiny was predetermined the moment you were born…I can see why Carson felt it was shameful.

[@kerriethompson2073]

Ugh! I could never forgive O’Brien for what she did to Cora.! I’m still salty about that.

[@moniquerobinson5206]

So am I. 🇨🇦

[@carolablue5293]

O'Brien was a piece of work. Never liked the character.

[@Fee212]

I'm glad they got rid of O'Brian. I never got over what she did to Cora's baby. And all because she evesdropped and got it wrong. Miss Smith was lovely.

[@franklesser5655]

Me too! It was horrible what O'Brien did. Is there anything that we can do to bring her to justice?

[@fabulouschild2005]

My opinion on O'Brien flipped immediately after this scene

[@dreamsteddybearsmaster]

2:56 Everyone's expressions here are legendary. This plotline is definitely one of the most memorable parts of the series. 3:36 I also love how Mary stands up to comfort Anna/pull her back down. Its amazing how Maria can go from playing the sweet wronged Queen Catherine of Aragon to the vindictive, shallow Vera in Downton Abbey!!!

[@m.layfette6249]

I'm happy someone else caught that. When casting gets it right, it's cinematic poetry at its finest.

[@OzmaOfOzz]

That actress is amazing. So talanted .

[@maryannlockwood7806]

You forget how many scandals there were in that series until you see them all in one video.😮

[@JJSparxx]

There were even more scandals than this that they left out. Ethel's affair with Major Bryant and then Jimmy and Lady Anstruther being caught in bed by Robert during the fire were two other scandals we saw during this series that weren't included in this video.

[@Robert08010]

I only remember it keeping my interest. So there had to be lots and lots.

[@North_West1]

So many more “scandals” not in this video to. 🫣

[@teenie36214]

Theo James as Pamuk was pretty iconic lol

[@HowieHoward-ti3dx]

He looks like Dracula. I wonder if Theo James's sausage is cut or not and what his mouth and behind gases smell like. I bet like British an gus be e f.

[@12classics39]

Between cheating on her with a maid while she was *dying* and losing all her money, Robert did not deserve Cora.

[@kerriethompson2073]

Preach!

[@lindalawton4455]

Whaaat !

[@Heyy_itsJackie]

YES! Cora was so kind and so willing to help. She also wasn't mad when he lost all the money and to cheat on her 😱

[@Shamiah286]

Robert was trash Cora was a Queen

[@Robert08010]

Not at all. Not at all. The British simply do things differently. (LOL) And Cora admitted she knew from the start that Robert was marrying her for her money. But they eventually fell in love. @@Shamiah286

[@orhieogheneoddiri80]

I will always love this show. Always.

[@moniquerobinson5206]

Me too 🇨🇦

[@tarawrr20]

We need our Violet prequel series!!!

[@cynthiachengmintz672]

Complete with the prince and marquis. And who knows who else???

[@North_West1]

Or a Lady Rose series about New York life.

[@Robert08010]

"Trust me." Famous last words. It was NOT safe for him.

[@luluchannel3999]

What happened to the guy??

[@Robert08010]

He was telling Mary it wouldn't hurt her, then he died of a heart attack. @@luluchannel3999

[@North_West1]

Not safe for her either. An unwed pregnancy…

[@everettmoore2480]

Sibyl wanted so much to start a new life and move away from her family. It was devastating that she had to die in the very home she wanted to leave

[@MandieTerrier]

She wanted to leave the show

[@Luke-rm1kw]

Sad for Sybil, it would've been worse for the family's grief if she had died away from home in a strange place. Though there's an argument that Robert caused her death...

[@junewilson1629]

Not sure she wanted to get away from Downton. She would have loved nothing more dearly than to stay at "home" had her family accepted Tom - which they ultimately finally did. Too bad it couldn't have been done during Sybil's life time. At any rate, the actress wanted to leave Downton, thus, Sybil had to die. But her character was such a sweet darling.

[@jacquelineroque5707]

The real shocking moment was when that creep Alex Green attacked Anna🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

[@Robert08010]

Anna was just so kind, I HATED to see that happen to her. Not that it would have been any better if it was someone else. But not Anna!!!

[@HD-uo5dd]

This show was so good!!

[@deborahklinlger8565]

O' Brien & her plotting & deceit is unforgivable!!! Becsuse of her Cora & Robert lost their baby boy!!😞🙏💔💧💖🕊

[@kerriethompson2073]

Yes! I’m still pissed O’Brien got away with it!

[@YmustTh3w0rldG0r0und]

I wonder how things would have turned out with Mary and Matthew then..

[@olakeska7908]

​@@YmustTh3w0rldG0r0undMary was not ready to get married regardless of his social standing. Matthew would lose his position as heir, estate to inherit. He would probably move out of Dowton. Eventually they would both move on I really don't see any chance of them getting married and living happily ever after

[@Robert08010]

I'm so glad they worked in the reveal scene (not to this clip but to the series) that Cora was only helping Violet find a new made and O'Brien wasn't being replaced at all. She deserved to know the truth and stew in what she had done.

[@janekayser-alexander5790]

The best soap opera ever!

[@angyangy7968]

Best series ever

[@angeldsouza777]

Can't help feeling that Carson's secret past is a little out of place here... 😏 Also 1:21 - Cora's face!!! 😳🤔😮🤢😵 *all in 1 second flat!* 😂

[@Fee212]

Lord Grantham actually tells Carson not to be so dramatic as to resigning. It doesn't belong in here with dead Turkish people in Mary's bed

[@junewilson1629]

Oh, Theo James - how I fell in like with his character Sidney in Sanditon and what an unpleasant creature he is in Downton Abbey. This kind of goes hand in hand with a comment I saw from one of the other posters where the actress played Vera (Bates' wife) and what a vindictive vicious vixen she was in the character as Vera vs when she played the utterly wronged Catherine of Aragon in Henry. That's where you know you have a good actress/actor. One who can play such opposite extremes.

[@mygrammieis]

Awesome show 💯💁🏻‍♀️

[@m.layfette6249]

12:38 I shutter to think how that conversation would have gone, if Lady Rosamund had to broker the news to her dear brother Robert, and her loving sister-in-law Cora, that they have lost another child. All to the complications of being pregnant.

[@m.layfette6249]

"Away with your impertinent conclusions."

[@peadar-o]

I always hoped Shrimpy and Rosamund would end up together. They both deserved some happiness and romance in middle age.

[@BoRhapQueen1]

Idk why but the Pamuk situation is always so unhinged 😂😂😂

[@puffeiffer]

0:59 Ohhhh, Mr. Pamuk! Take me, I give in!

[@lower_than_furries9727]

I had always been curious about how mrs. Hughes being so welcoming and open minded about Thomas and people like him. As a gay myself, that scene left a deep impression on me about her as a person.

[@lieannlaverne5233]

Can someone explain the bath with soap scene. Obrien and the soap

[@kyleeanderson3128]

she left one half of the broken soap that was dropped on the floor and she said she pushed it under the tub but she actually moved it so sybil(?) would slip on it and fall

[@lieannlaverne5233]

@@kyleeanderson3128 thank you

[@GosieKin]

Cora asked O'Brien for her advice about hiring a lady's maid but she was very vague, providing no explanation whom the maid is needed for and O'Brien assumed that it will be to replace her. In her upset, angry that all her loyalty to Cora means apparently nothing, she decided to take her revenge. So then, when Cora accidentally dropped her soap, Sarah left the broken part of that soap by the bath, hoping that (at the time pregnant) Cora would slip on it and fall. . Spoilers! . . . . . . And that's exactly what happened, resulting in Cora losing her pregnancy. Only later, O'Brien finds out that the lady's maid was actually for the Dowager and Cora was only helping in that search....

[@lieannlaverne5233]

@@GosieKin wow..did she ever confess or was that secret ever expose?

[@GosieKin]

@@lieannlaverne5233 no, it was never revealed. Only we, viewers, know. She did feel very guilty though, for a rather long time.

Scandalous behind closed doors... Worth without public in shame.

[@qui_etes_vous]

I love these newest, uploads, that show the version of, Downton Abbey, that was, shown in the, U.K. To be, honest, in the, U.S., they only showed us, the, illegal, Reboot versions. Which was, that, it would make, ALL, Human Beings, other than, I, imagine, that they were, in, Revelations. It was only for a hand full, of, Orange County, Preps, who, wanted, to do, anything, to have, Wealth, including, Kill the, Queen of the, South, ME. They wanted this so they could, gain, Russell Brand's, favor, in his, grief, and then, get him, to, WED, them, all, and, then they could be, in the, Upper Classes. But, they realize, now, since I told them, THEN, that, they were, Upper Class, American Preps, from, Orange County (where I live, currently), already. PREEEETTY FUNNY, how, their, God, Almighty, ALWAYS, gets, and gives, the, Upper Hand. He's kinda, my, God, too, by the, way. -Brittney Lee Hill Collier, Saturday, October, 28th, 2023. 5:32 p.m.
