Carson and Mary is still one of my favorite scenes..."You go ahead and have a good cry...that's what's needed now. And when you are ready you can get to work." I just love it.

[@Robert08010]

Although I love this scene, there's a part of me that wished she had this kind of relationship with her father. You rarely see her going to her father for comfort.

[@yankeeangel26]

To this day, I still can't watch it without crying.

[@KopaXTani]

I wasn’t expecting to tear up at this scene, but hear we are! I can’t bear the thought of losing my husband, whether by death or other means.

[@creativehorsequeen]

"It must be my fault because she is incapable of fault" Oh my heart! I love Anna and Mr. Bates relationship. It's so wholesome.

[@35diamondgirl]

Another is when Mrs. Hughes comforts Tom after Sybil’s death as he is struggling to figure how how, or if, he still belongs at Downton. And another is when Violet comforts Mary after her break-up with Henry. And yet another moment of comfort when Violet comforts Isobel after learning Dickie has a terminal illness (or so she thought).

[@TheresaKim]

Or when Edith comforts Isobel in S4E1 that though she is not a mother, she is a grandmother.

[@debbiedaymoon6145]

yes! video needed to be a Top 10, minimum 😍

[@twelfthlady847]

Edith's "Runaway Groom" wedding dress was the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen.

[@KittenUndercover]

Wait what about when George and Mary visited Thomas after he cut his wrists??

[@whulme3553]

No that's not comforting, he's leaving, that's just downright sad...

[@kerriethompson2073]

Hallo, Mr. Bawoo! So cute.

[@katheryncox2815]

They have an entire separate clip uploaded of that 😛

[@CarlosMunoz-ml1rq]

No one liked Thomas therefore that doesn’t count…

[@kerriethompson2073]

@@CarlosMunoz-ml1rq Iiked Barrow before that. It's Miss O'Brian I couldn't stand.

[@acepinkranger2537]

That scene of Carson comforting Mary made me cry! He has always been such a great father figure for her. Where she can drop the strong, stoic no emotion leading lady act, and let her emotions flow and tell her actual thoughts and feelings to him knowing that he will not judge her when breaks down, and she knows she can gain confidence and comfort from him when she needs it most.😊

[@AmiNa-nw5ld]

Carson succeed where her own father failed

[@markdavies9117]

Michelle Dockery is so good. I can feel every emotion of Lady Mary when she acts.

[@sunnydaze2359]

I just love the English accent, no contractions. 😁

[@sheilaburns8977]

The scene where she breaks down and finally really grieves for Matthew makes my eyes burn every time. Sadly, Michelle, knows true sadness because her fiance died from a rare cancer in 2015.

[@sophieamandaleitontoomey9343]

My favorite is this quote…because every survivor of sexual assault needs to hear this from a loved one: “You are not spoiled. You are made higher to me and holier because of the suffering you’ve been put through. You are my wife and I have never been prouder nor loved you more than I love you now at this moment.” Like…that is so beautiful and I can’t articulate how much I wish every survivor could hear that.

[@creativehorsequeen]

I fell in love with their relationship all over again when he said that.

[@12classics39]

That scene with Carson and Mary is powerful. You get the sense that she hasn’t even been able to get any tears out before that scene. She’s just been numb and shut down in shock for 6 months, and then finally, she has the “good cry” that Carson knew she needed to have.

[@fawnebrown4619]

One of my favorites is when Anna comforts Thomas after Sybil's death.

[@m.layfette6249]

"You are being tested." "And you know what they say my darling?" "Being tested only makes you stronger." "I don't think it's working with me." This was, by far Lady Edith's lowest moment throughout the entire series to date. As always a mother's words come round to being right. Throughout her trials and tribulations, Lady Edith becomes stronger, wiser and more adapted to the modern world than anybody else is the family. Despite her lack of sympathy throughout the series, Cora's internal empathy for her daughter is always there in some form or fashion.

[@Robert08010]

@@cellpat7392 I loved that she "Got the gold" without ever being a gold digger.

[@virginiasmiles8865]

that moment between carson and mary is one of my favorites in the whole show

[@rowanaforrest9792]

Yes. That moment was as healing for Carson as it was for Mary, because she had wounded his feelings to the quick earlier, which is such a painful scene. This scene healed it. Beautiful.

[@alyzu4755]

"My goodness, that was strong talk for an Englishman". 🥰

[@JJSparxx]

I love that scene between Daisy and Mrs. Patmore. Mrs. Patmore really was the closest person Daisy had as a motherly figure for her.

[@Becky-uz8em]

I just wish I could remember what was going on...

[@rowanaforrest9792]

@@Becky-uz8em Alfred (the footman who had left to become a chef in a fine London restaurant) had come back to visit one last time, and although Mrs. Patmore had encouraged Daisy to stay away for the day visiting her father-in-law to avoid seeing Alfred, her father-in-law explained to her why it was important that she see Alfred to say goodbye properly and remain friends, so he sent Daisy back with a basket of food for Alfred. I love what Mr. Mason said, that Daisy mustn't leave anything "jagged or harsh" between them. It was very wise advice.

[@Becky-uz8em]

@@rowanaforrest9792 Thank you!!!

[@themermaidstale5008]

The fact that Mrs.Patmore touched Daisy on the shoulder was huge. People didn’t touch each other back then to give comfort. Robert even comments on his own advice to Bates, “that’s strong words for an Englishman.”

[@rowanaforrest9792]

@@themermaidstale5008 People back then did sometimes touch each other to give comfort, but it was the exception, not the rule. The occasion had to be highly exceptional (though less so if they were family). That's why it looked a bit awkward for both Mrs. Patmore and Daisy, and how Daisy knew it was very significant.

[@mkeller18]

So often I thought they would feel so much better with a good, hard cry and a full-on hug.

[@m.layfette6249]

"I do not speak much of the heart, since it's seldom helpful to do so." "But I know we'll enough the pain when it is broken." A mother's Love comes in many parts. 💕

[@themermaidstale5008]

People of their station rarely acknowledged or showed much emotion. It was a mark of being a gentleman or a lady.

[@dlamancha5697]

These are wonderful! I thought of one that always makes me feel emotional, and it's such a little thing, but so fitting when you are talking about comfort: Remember the episode when Cora and Robert were fighting and sleeping in separate beds. Well, his dog was dying and Robert didn't want to leave her. Cora said, let her sleep in between us." It just made me tear up, knowing Cora would be so kind to Robert, knowing how much he cared about his dog.

[@debbiedaymoon6145]

these scenes really capture why i love to keep rewatching the series over and over💖💖💖

[@flowersndaisys3219]

Mary and Carson’s relationship is ADORABLE 💛 I love them

[@robboyte1101]

HOW -- WHY?! -- wasn't the scene where Bates comforts Anna after he found out about her being sexually assaulted not on this list?

[@JackieDannenberg]

I agree 200%. You saved me from having to mention it too.

[@rocioincera1]

I've been wanting not to have seen D. A., so I could watch it whole anew!

[@gpg9516]

So many top moments over six seasons, such consistently high quality.

[@chiamave]

It isn't as affectionate and moving as the ones in this video, but I wish we had the scene of lady Violet, the matriarch and oldest member of the family, comforting Daisy, the humbles and youngest member of the staff, after she found her crying out of pain and shame for William's death and their wedding. Violet "doesn't speak much of the matters of the heart", but you must admit it was sweet of her to patiently listen to the scullery maid's feelings and to help her made peace with them.

[@Jewel-ju2qz]

one of the best programmes ever just love it and the films ❤

[@diannaclarke2758]

I never saw Mary and Carson scene before. I'm not surprised that he's the one she trusted.

[@VMeral]

What about the scene where Violet comforts Daisy in the library. Class and rank didn't matter in that moment they were just two people finding something in each other

[@theonecounttheonecount8477]

Well written show.

[@latinguy67]

they saved the best for last. I love how Carson is the real father figure that Lady Mary can be vulnerable and real with. Carson is the man in her life who Lady Mary depends on for strength and reassurance. How nice would it be for all of us to have a Carson to lean on from time to time?

[@Sujowi]

I still think there’s a Downton movie in the courtship and early marriage of Robert and Cora....such an interesting time, when a man has to marry for money! But who would play their younger serves?

[@JackieDannenberg]

Not a movie but a number of series starting before Violet’s coming out when she was young so we can see all her relationships before she married Robert’s father.

[@cherylb6755]

Lily James?

[@rahaa.sh_307]

The cover is too sad... Edith's ruined marriage was so unnecessary & my heart really broke for her😭😭😭 I've always loved the relationship between Robert & John. Also don't hate me for this, but sometimes, it felt like Carson was a better father to Mary than Robert (he really doesn't win the award for the best parent, Cora was significantly better), that last scene had me in tears, Michelle is just phenomenal.

[@The-Ducky-is-Here]

1:30 I honestly didn't like Cora choice of words while comforting Edith. I don't think "You are being tested" would bring any real form of comfort.

[@India.H]

Mary could be a b***h sometimes, but Carson was like a grandfather to her: never wanted to see her in pain, never wanted her to see him in pain, and would go out of his way to help her.

[@angelobonetti8882]

In italiano tutti i video x cortesia. Grazie.

[@medusagorgon9]

After Sybil's disturbing death, the horrific sexual assault on Anna and Matthew's painful death, I was absolutely full of this show!💔😓 I wanted to stop watching. As a clairvoyant empath I felt as if these things were actually happening to me! Unfortunately, I sensed Matthew's death long before it happened, so I felt nothing but dread! I seriously debated on whether to continue. But I did, and I am glad.

[@sheilaburns8977]

I've re-watched Downton so many times, but I always skip past Anna's sexual assault. I just can't take it; it was so awful. Sybil's death scene was horrific, but poignant, as was Matthew's death, but Anna brutalized by that monster is too hard for me to see again.

[@nicolettampx]

@@sheilaburns8977 Me too! I'm still traumatised from that scene. Such an innocent soul to be hurt by such a nasty monster! I still believe that storyline should've never existed.
