Maggie Smith’s cheeky Downton Abbey confession
The sixth and final season of Downton Abbey debuts on PBS this Sunday, which means it’s time to try to recall what the hell happened during Downton Abbey season five.

Last season, despite a stunning lack of anything remotely resembling evidence, Anna Bates was arrested and accused of killing Green.
It’s delightful to think that the stubborn Dowager Countess, always so keen to keep a prim and proper appearance, spent most of her time on screen doing the 1920s equivalent of not wearing underwear.
In a recent interview with CBS News, the 81-year-old star revealed a cheeky secret: she rarely – if ever – actually wore a corset during filming. Where will they live? A colleague recently pointed out that the dowager countess (played by Maggie Smith) always steals the scene with a delicious quote, but rarely says more than two sentences.
Fans of the show are female, male, young and old. Perhaps she could get an illness, one that doesn’t affect her vocal chords. “Also, she was very good at Bananagrams”.
Another interesting thing that the series did is how it handled the story of Robert Crawley especially when he realized that he has to push forward in order to get Downton Abbey adjusted to the times. If overwhelming darkness isn’t in the cards, then perhaps he can be naughty?
No doubt this will excite Clinton, who has voiced her love of “Downton Abbey” on social media.
Edith owned up to being Marigold’s motherAfter learning that the love of her life, Michael Gregson, is really, most sincerely dead, Edith committed herself to raising the daughter they conceived out of (gasp!) wedlock. Meanwhile, Tom Branson has left for Boston, and newlyweds Lady Rose and Atticus Aldridge are trying their luck in Jazz Age New York. Step right up, Daisy!

When she was the world’s most adorable hypocrite.. It’s arguably Fellowes’s biggest writing failure (after the Anna/Bates murder fiasco). Lady Mary has found objective in her work, and isn’t beholden to a romantic storyline (although one does, naturally, appear that could be potentially divisive), and even Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) seems to be content with her (excellent) work running Gregson’s magazine, and making Marigold an official part of her life.
