Matthew was an irreplaceable part of this show. It was never the same after his death because something crucial was missing from the cast, the dynamics, and even the themes. Matthew was all those things that were missing, the show was simply incomplete without him.

[@tinavino1575]

He had to go away. So Mary got a baby heir and his money, and would rule Downton in facto for 20 years.

[@genesis1765]

because represented us someone outside the downton family. they said that season 3 had already been written for Mathew but he decided no.

[@The_Curious_Cat]

Indeed, it was quite the unfortunate event to see him go.

[@cellpat2686]

Matthew made Mary click. It went beyond the actors having a winning natural chemistry.

They were perfect for each other 🥺

[@anikam5087]

They are soulmates ♥️

[@mbbno]

No they were not. Mary was a terrible person. Never understood why anyone was interested in her other than the money and estate.

[@brunasabino1795]

@@mbbno I agree to some extent. Mary really wasn't an easy person to live with but she was always loyal and true to the people who mattered most to her. The love between her and Matthew was something pure and genuine, even if she showed her darker side to others like Edith. It's not because we have the same blood as someone that we will necessarily have a deep connection. Mary was terrible to Edith most of the time but I can understand that through her upbringing.

I understand Matthews statement however when he saw Mary he was certainly taken aback with her beauty

[@anikam5087]

8:18 "We should see more of each other," Gosh, Matthew's way of flirting is so adorable!😂 Subtle and classy and gentlemanly, yet making it very clear how he feels about her.

[@MsCamiRae]

The way Matthew looks at her before they kiss ….wow

[@SS11660]

Love how he was so taken with her immediately after declaring he wasnt interested in the daughters.

[@cindyn7512]

It's funny that I had to rewatch the scene where they meet years later to realizes that the Mathew character went absolutely slack jawed when she walked in the room. The first time I saw the scene the only thing that registered was his embarrassment over what he said not meant for her ears.

[@Elizabeth-hc3mi]

First scene: I DON'T want to marry one of the daughters Very next scene: She's not paying me any attention 😭😭

[@cindyn7512]

I loved Dan Stevens as Mathew Crawley, especially how he made the character drip with charm so the whole world couldn't resist falling in love with Mathew right along with Mary's character. But after seeing him in almost all his projects after Downton he is truly one of my favorite actors. His comedy role in the Eurovision Song Contest movie-- brilliant and completely unexpected. Or his perfectly calibrated performance as a robot in I'm Your Man -- As an actor he's a chameleon! He was right, we were wrong -- Stevens knew he could have had a long lucrative career playing some version of Mathew Crawley over and over again, but how much nicer to see him in new ways flexing his acting chops for our entertainment.

[@jimin-ssibangtansmind7230]

Te diré esto y espero que lo traduzcas. Amo a Matthew, y como fan odio que se haya retirado del proyecto, pero fue una buena decisión para él como actor. Supe de su existencia por Aubrey Plaza, ya que ella aparece en Legion. Y tengo la firme creencia de que todos o al menos la mayoría de actores de D.A están infravalorados. Yo estoy obsesionada en este momento con Michelle Dockery, y he visto Godless, una miniserie western que ella protagonizó y Good Behaviour, una serie de 2 temporadas. Y me sorprende muchísimo la versatilidad que posee. Espero verla en un papel dramático, ojalá junto a Sarah Snook o alguna mujer increíble, me parece estúpido que con todo el calibre que tiene solo haya estado nominada a premios y no haberlos ganado. Ademas, me encanta que ella hace las películas de D.A porque le gusta su personaje y le gusta el cast, y siempre es lo suficientemente humilde para aceptar que gracias a D.A tiene todo lo que hasta ahora ha conseguido.

[@NicoleHaschke]

Agree with this so much. As sad as it was that he left the show so early and shattered the perfect love story with Mary, he's built exactly the sort of career he wanted-- avoiding being typecast and becoming a real chameleon. Walking away from such a hit was a huge risk, but it's paid off for him, and I'm honestly really happy for him.

[@lauraricci62]

I love this storyline, there are all the ingredients of a great love. In the season 1 their relationship is very difficult and keeps us in suspense! They must overcome misunderstandings, difficulties, pride and prejudices!!! They are very conditioned by what their social role requires them and Mary matures only in the end and can not forgive herself for the affair Pamuk ... But what is immediately clear is that they are destined to love each other... Thanks for this video

[@erintheegg4819]

in my head matthew didnt die and theyre running downton together

[@dizzydaisy9889]

You and me both 🥺

[@romulusthemainecoon3047]

Definitely. She softened so much when she was with him and he could have been an ally for Lady Edith!

[@confusedperson2468]

They are so perfect together, amazing storyline 😍

[@raraavis7782]

I just can't get over how beautiful Mary looked at the beginning of the series. The dresses, the hairstyles... everything suited her perfectly. Somehow she never looked as good in the post WWI fashion, imo.

[@Christy__M]

I agree. I always thought that change was made to represent the pain and struggles in her life that made her more harsh, hurt and wounded…versus when she was young, innocent and naive.

[@raraavis7782]

@@Christy__M That's an interesting take. I mean, with her figure type, she should have looked great in 20s fashion, really. So that's not it. But some of the outfits, they put her in, were downright dowdy. Nothing the fashionable and somewhat vain Mary would have chosen, imo. Even as a mother and estate manager. But maybe it was meant to show, that even quite a while after Mathew's death, she was still somewhat withdrawn from the world.

[@EughhBrothereughh]

Omg those hideous 1920s outfits and her short hair. Eh

[@vickenator]

I never watched the show but have seen quite a few clips on YT and that bang-bob they had her wear towards the end of the series was simply tragic. Very aging look for her.

[@katherinewilson1853]

@@raraavis7782 Yes. They were chosen to show her role in the world, whereas Edith began to bloom.

[@SS11660]

I didn't understand why she kept him waiting so long long for an answer when she knew she wasn't going to tell him about Pamuk and accept.

[@yosemite735]

I just finished watching the second movie. So glad Mary's imposter husband was not in it. Matthew is Mary's true husband.

[@waverlyphillips2849]

Throws her grandmother under the bus at 12:17 🤣🤣🤣. If they would have gotten married in Season one they would have ended up losing Downton Abbey by season three.

[@SS11660]

She listened to her aunt that Matthew wasnt good enough for her. He was only a "country solicitor"

[@Bergen98]

Sometimes I want to imagine what these two would be like in the following seasons? What they would be up to and how their relationship would blossoms even further?

Why?

[@violet6991]

To this day haven’t seen past season 3, couldn’t be bothered without Matthew😢 I’m guessing Mary regressed to her b!tchy ways not out of grief(maybe a little) but mostly because the person who made her a better version of herself wasn’t there anymore... and they took Sybil from me fkn hell S3 was brutal.

[@MandieTerrier]

Both actors wanted to leave the show

[@l.a.3479]

It's fiction. Calm down. No need to curse.

[@creativewriter3887]

What's so sad is that Mary would have gone ahead and married Matthew the moment he first proposed had it NOT been for her Aunt's meddling. She was going to trust her instincts but she second guessed herself and her aunt made her believe it would have been a considerable descent socially, when the REVERSE was true. AND what's more, Matthew was already thinking of a way to have Mary obtain some authority as an heir (even as a woman should never be afforded this). Everyone underestimated Matthew's abilities until he later came into money.

Believe it or not these two clicked from the very moment they met. Too bad Dan felt he had other chances out there and ended up getting killed off after George was born. Looks like Mary will end up a dowager countess of sorts now that she is the next Lord's mother and still alone.

[@claireturnbull7719]

She's not still alone tho,is she?She's married

[@rr7firefly]

Mary: 'Women like me don't have a life. We choose clothes and pay calls and work for charity and do the season." So many women like that in Junior League. The smart ones avoid all that, move to another city far from their families and social connections, and begin their own lives.
