I love the detail that at 2:08 Isobel crosses over to comfort the wife of the man with the infection. It really shows her character!😊

[@sheilaburns8977]

Superb acting by the ladies in the Pamuk scene.

[@beckyburtis9977]

Just wondering... did the ladies take time to change into the appropriate attire before they escorted Mr. Pamuk down the hallway? For proprieties sake, of course.

[@echoesofwar]

Mary thought Pamuk was coming, but actually he was going.

[@whyisthisdifferentnow]

I always hated the Pamuk storyline. They made it seem like consent, but it definitely wasn’t. He forced himself into her room and wouldn’t leave when she told him to.

[@fantasticbeck3938]

That’s exactly what I thought when I watched it for the first time! (I just got into Downton Abbey in summer 2022.) Pamuk gave me the ick.

[@effkay3691]

Not to mention there were no trans people in the whole show……..oh grow up, it was 1912.

[@TheYoutubaki]

@@effkay3691 what? what does this have to do with anything?! consent has always existed, as have trans people. so what if it was 1912? didn't the concept of consent exist then?? that's absurd

[@j.elizabeth4621]

Do people think trans people are a 21st century invention? There are records of trans individuals for centuries.

[@justlivinglife465]

I don’t know what that guy was thinking tbh. He sneaked his way to the correct bedroom and basically seduced the daughter of his hosts - that isn’t nice behaviour in my opinion (in a world where women were particularly the ones who were punished if they “misbehaved”)

[@deborahpinkey1264]

Cora's loss of her son, instigated by O'Brien, changed the course of the entire series. Once Patrick had died, then another male heir had to be found, because of the entail Robert's father had forced Cora to agree to when she married Robert. He wanted to make sure that the estate stayed within the Crawley family. Never mind that there would have been no estate to pass on without Cora's American money.

[@daenerysdivine1906]

That O'Brien character did a really horrible thing. I just don't get how it could even cross her mind of leaving the soap there. I didn't see how her character wouldn't go insane with guilt.

[@Xerxes2005]

@@daenerysdivine1906 She did feel guilty. Afterwards, she's very loyal to Lady Cora. Until she leaves Downton in the night... She had good reasons to believe that Lady Cora wanted to replace her. It was all a misunderstanding, since Cora was just trying to find a new maid for her mother-in-law. That does not excuse her behaviour, of course. Although it was not unusual at the time for domestics to exact some revenge on their masters...

[@kerriethompson2073]

@@Xerxes2005 she felt guilty, but only about herself. She never told the truth and left in the middle of the night without thinking about what would happen to the house. I hated O'Brian!

[@Xerxes2005]

@@kerriethompson2073 Of course she never told the truth. But someone (was it Anna?) asked her why she was so devoted to Lady Cora all suddenly and she answered that she owed it to her. Which means that her guilt is not only about herself. She's a cold-hearted, manipulating woman, for sure, but I still preferred her over Thomas, at least in the first seasons. She would sometimes show sympathy for the sufferings of others, and her conniving was often at the benefit of others she wanted to protect, especially Thomas, Lang, Alfred, even William and Molesley (at the Gillies Ball). Unlike Thomas whose scheming was all about himself (in the first seasons).

[@AwhxKinks]

True

[@WBCRO]

I think Sybil's death, Matthew's death, Edith being jilted at the altar and Lord Grantham's ulcer erupting at the dinner table factor high as shocking and dramatic moments

[@user-jr4zq7xm5q]

I agree, but all these are in several seasons (I think the first three in season 3) this video is about only season 1’s moments

[@WBCRO]

@@user-jr4zq7xm5q Groan!!! 😩. I somehow missed that. My bad. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Thank you!

[@lauraschoenborn3544]

Pamuk’s death scene and Sybil getting knocked down are probably the two most dramatic scenes in season 1. You can see that Tom is falling in love with her in that episode.

[@m.layfette6249]

[@m.layfette6249]

@@rahaa.sh_307 What they always seem to leave out of that scene was how Lord Grantham and Dr Clarkson agreed for both Violet and Isobel to be Co-Presidents of the hospital. The look on the Dowager Countesses' face during the ceremony was Beyond Priceless.

[@babsgrayson8432]

The thing about Downton Abbey is that the stakes are either super high or super low, but boy when the stakes are high, Julian Fellowes sure knows how to keep us on the edge of our seats.

[@MADHAUSMARKALLAN]

O’Brien and the soap. Still a most dastardly act.

[@kauztuv]

How badly do you think Clarkson would have wanted to throw the dowager out on her ear? Yammering on in the operating room like that. Bring it to the attention of the board indeed.

[@neilgerace355]

He could bring it to their attention that she was there without a good reason.

The Pamuk incident will always be iconic 😂

I think the one where Syble died is the most dramatic one until Mathew’s death! Especially Cora and Tom were amazing on her death bed.

[@jazzycat8917]

Violet infuriates me in that first scene. Calling Isobel an "amateur" when she, unlike Violet, actually has medical training. Violet had no idea what she was talking about, and instead of shoving her own fear of the the future into a mans live or death scenario should have had the decency to stay out of it.

[@TheJFerg24]

#1 was my favorite early moment for Isobel.

[@deborahpinkey1264]

These were very poignant scenes, indeed. Edit: I just read the description. Sybil did not suddenly collapse! She was hit in the head!

[@medusagorgon8432]

I can only imagine that the poor fellow may die anyway from infection. Nothing was truly sterilized, and no one was wearing gloves. And though I grew fond of Thomas, O'Brien along with Nanny West were pure evil.

[@chelsiebrown2623]

No one wore gloves until the AIDs outbreak in the 80s.

[@harringt100]

@@chelsiebrown2623 What?! No, that's not true. At least for surgery, rubber gloves were introduced in 1894 by the Johns Hopkins chief of surgery at that time. Maybe in the 1910s there were still doubts about when they were necessary and/or limited availability, but they were in common use long before the AIDS outbreak.

[@neilgerace355]

3:00 He goes from "heart stopped" to "fully awake" just like that? Without "alive but unconscious" in between?

[@samprimera5545]

I know I go on about it but Dr Clarkson saying we need to get Sybil to a hospital and everybody but Cora ignoring him,going instead on the side of a doctor who knew nothing about her.And afterward he couldn't even look at her body tho he caused her death IMHO. Yes it enraged me that her death could be provented.

This was so dramatic while i was watching Season 1 I Remember All of these and sometimes it was such a plot twist! (this is about the new movie: i cant believe what happened I am tuly devostated but it was a wonderful film and it was great to see everyone again!
