I can't even picture Carson and Cora as a couple without feeling sick. They absolutely have no chemistry. The only farfetched scenario to make Carson her father would be the Crawley's adopted her do to whatever circumstance he couldn't raise her. That concept belongs on SNL.
@@rhondabitler5474 exactly! For Carson to be her father, there would have had to have been something between Cora and Carson. Totally rediculous. She's been completely in love and dedicated to Robert, even when he didn't deserve it. Nope...Not a thing.
I never thought that Carson could be Mary’s father. I just thought it was a dynamic interaction and deep understanding with a fondness. Which allows us to see a softer more vulnerable side of her.
He may have spent more time with Mary than Lord Grantham. The times when Mary was little were different than today, and as a Lord her father would have been often in London.
The Aristocracy were always distant from their children! Remember Violet’s comment, “It was an hour EVERY day! Sigh…” Carson was reared with no Servants, so had his care directly from his parents thereby being more ‘hands on’. NO, Carson is NOT Lady Mary’s father!
I agree. Carson as Nary's father just won't fly because there's never even been a slight hint he and her mother were interested in each other. Plus, in that Era, servants didn't mix on that level with royalty. I do look forward to another movie, but I hope it's done with taste and not just a story in attempts to make money.
I would love a third movie, but not if it's a musical! There is NO WAY that Carson is Lady Mary's father! Lady Edith and Michael Gregson were never married. That's why Lady Edith went to such great lengths to hide her pregnancy and then the fact that she had borne a child out of wedlock. Highclere Castle still stands, so why couldn't Downton Abbey as an estate survive. With good management of the land and property, it very well could survive to be passed into the hands of Master George Crawley. Come on Julian Fellowes, give us more Downton Abbey!
The “Carson is Lady Mary’s father” theory is ridiculous!!! Please note that Lady Edith did not actually marry Michael Gregson as was stated in this video. Edith bore Marigold out of wedlock. I do hope a third movie will be written and produced but I’m not sure it will. If it does go ahead I would prefer it be a movie and not a musical.
Totally agree. Michael Gregson was already married. He went to Germany in order to get his divorce. In England, he couldn't because his wife was unable to give consent since she had a mental health illness
Mr. Carson is not Lady Mary's father. He took a preference to her because she was the first born in the Crawley family and she considers him as her confidant. That was stated in earlier in the series.
I would love to see Mary take on the wit and stoic traditional respect as well as the protectiveness of family reputation that their Grandmother had. Give Mary some lines like Violet had and everyone will be watching Non-Stop...Please give us back Violets personality in Mary's shoes and make it obvious...even some her mannerisms as icing on the cake would be delicious.
Whether it's another movie or a new tv series, it would be wonderful to have more Downton Abbey!!! There is plenty of good stories left, abdication of Edward, rise of Nazism, WWII, ect. Will George be a soldier, young Syble a nurse? It would be incredible to find out.❤
I honestly think a good prequel is the way to go. Go back to how Robert meets Cora with the American Milliion Dollar princesses story. Cora coming to Downton and having to find her way in English society. We would meet a young Carson (is he the head butler at that point, or is he valet to lord Grantham?), young Mrs. Patmore. .... So many possibilities with the stories hinted at but never fleshed out!
I hope there will be another movie! I love the franchise!!! So many ways it could continue! So many historic events in the 20th century. Hope he will start working!
The Crawleys have dealt with financial issues previously is like saying the Sun also rose on some previous days. I wouldn't mind if the Downton Abbey story line eventually followed what happened to so many of these country estates. A great intro would be a 100+ year old Daisy visiting the museum house and reminiscing about its final days.
Downton Abbey 3 would bring family to a more "modern day" timeline to what is happening in the next generation. If there is a #3 I would be a fan that would want to watch it.
First, it's absurd to think Carson as Mary's father. He just loves her like a daughter he never had. Servants were know to be very close to their masters. Also, DA to be filmed in and around the early part of ww2 would be extremely fascinating. Britain was in such a scarey state during the blitzkrieg attacks.
Carson being Mary's father is cheap. Their whole relationship literally means much more since they're of different background and become an Irony since Robert always despise how Violet "ignored" him, yet he did the same thing to Mary which result in her and Carson's father-daughter relationship dynamic to grow.
Fergus Dublin Ireland The franchise has been such a winning recipe, don't make iit a flop with a Musical!. More humour, strong story lines pleàse Mr Fellowes. Thanks, Fergus
I am definitely on board for Downton Abbey 3. I don't think Carlson is Lady Mary's father due to the relationship with Lady Cora. Henry Talbot could easily die during a car race. Please another movie of the Crowley's.
Does Julian read this blog,I hope so because I have a suggestion. When war is declared how about the movie star and Barrow returning to England to help as in real life David Niven did. And build the movie stars life there as perhaps a small acknowledgement an honor to Al Bowly who was killed in an air raid and Barrow returns to Downton abby to help run a hospital?
Me and my grown daughter could always go for more Downton Abbey. I look forward to see what Julian Fellows comes up with. WWII would bring a whole new flavor to the series and create other likely scenarios and options. I'm up for it, wherever the series goes.
Another Downtown Abbey Movie should already be in the pre-filming stage, I just hope Julian remember’s that the House has always been the star of the Show. I think there is one more final Film to be made with it ending on the Eve of WWII. I don’t believe anyone else needs to die, except Henry Talbot, & Perhaps Mary could be with Tony, the story line should be simple and beautiful, let Downton Abbey close with Love & respect. I would like to see Thomas return, and perhaps we could see O’Brien’s fate. Tom & Lucy with their children and the other’s kids who would be approaching adulthood in the early 30s helping to keep Downton Abbey in tact. Julian just wrap it up in a nice beautiful way. I think that is what the fans would want. I have watched the entire series over and over, and I don’t believe that there will be anything like it ever again , it was magic caught in a bottle. One more please, because the World needs it. 😎🌎
I think there should should be 1 more and last 'Downton'. I think it should show Lady Mary taking over the helm at Downton as she takes the family into the future.
I would love more Downton! Instead of a movie a limited/mini series would be great. They could do a prequel of lord and lady granthams romance, or the Dowager and her husbands story, and/or do the kids in their early adulthood and preferably all of the above!
I hope not takes away. The sense of purity like people of wealth were just screwing around. You see that in documentaries too, but I just can’t see how falling in love with him.
WWII with the passing of his Grandfather, Sir George becomes the new Earl of Grantham. As WWll approaches Sir George And His Wing-Man John Bates Jr. Are Learning to Fly Spitfire's...(Something 17-18 yo Boys were about in the late 1930's) The plot lines are.endless...
Not a musical, please... and please avoid killing off more cast members. I thoroughly enjoyed downton the series and also the previous 2 films. I'd rather have nothing (shocking myself with that) than a sour end to years of enjoyment
Onwards and upwards….yes another, I think that people really like the feel of a time when everything was well defined in life……I like the idea of appearing well groomed for occasions…holes in jeans give one a feeling of poverty….not caring etc….society has looked downward rather than upward🎶🎶🎶🎶
I have a feeling that carson is not Mary's father. I believe the movie will have Mary opening downton to the children that were forced to leave London during the blitz
the kids, george and his cousin, edith's son will be old enough to go to war....soooo a fairly scary thing for the linage, maybe Mary could have another son off camera....also if edith's son survives there is another heir....
“It’s time to pass the torch to new characters” This never works out for shows, and ends up feeling like a cheap knockoff. Carson being Mary’s father would be beyond stupid. This cannot happen to preserve the shows legacy.
No. Carson is not Mary's father. That would change EVERYTHING. Mary's son would no longer be the heir to the Downton estate, and they would be back to season 1, having to find the rightful heir. Not to mention, this would mean that Cora cheated on Robert, and you would see her in an entirely new light. This would be a HORRIBLE plot line. Carson has known Mary since she was born and has been a father figure because he cares about her deeply. That does not mean she could be his daughter. No way, no how.
No musical please. Could we hope for a series instead of a movie (which l thought were quite pale compared to the show)? A prequel would be interesting, although it would need all new actors, but a continuation in the thirties would be great too - with Thomas coming back. Everyone can dream 🥰
It's absurd to have Carson as Mary's father. It would hurt the series, not help it. Downton Abbey is a beautifully era drama, NOT a ridiculous musical. They would have to be absolute idiots to make it into a musical. I am looking forward to the 3rd movie, as I have no doubt it will be well made as the previous episodes and movies.
It would be wonderful to see them fold into WWII --- maybe hide some Jews --- Mrs. Hughes having a late-in-life baby --- Edward abdicating the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. So much history that Julian Fellows could weave into the lives of the Crawleys.
Apparent Downton IS coming back in 2024 - TV series, not movie. I HOPE they kill of Talbot 🤷🏼♀️ Lady Mary maybe broken for a while - but perhaps bounce back and marry someone like Evelyn Napier (who ive thought would suit her in her later years) maybe... Anyway, itll be fun to see!
So excited for this :)
🥰
YES / make a third Downton Movie !!!
Carson as Mary’s father is ridiculous
I agree. Absolutely ludicrous. It ruins the whole series as far as that storyline.
Eww! He’s totally NOT her dad!! 🤬
I can't even picture Carson and Cora as a couple without feeling sick. They absolutely have no chemistry. The only farfetched scenario to make Carson her father would be the Crawley's adopted her do to whatever circumstance he couldn't raise her. That concept belongs on SNL.

I agree. How would that have happened? Cora cheated on Robert with Carson? Nope
There is Sooo Much more this Story can Run with !!! PLEASE Julian Fellowes We Never want life without Downton.
I never thought that Carson could be Mary’s father. I just thought it was a dynamic interaction and deep understanding with a fondness. Which allows us to see a softer more vulnerable side of her.
He may have spent more time with Mary than Lord Grantham. The times when Mary was little were different than today, and as a Lord her father would have been often in London.
Anything Downton Abbey is fine with me - can't wait BUT not a musical!!
The Aristocracy were always distant from their children! Remember Violet’s comment, “It was an hour EVERY day! Sigh…” Carson was reared with no Servants, so had his care directly from his parents thereby being more ‘hands on’. NO, Carson is NOT Lady Mary’s father!

I want Thomas back, he was so funny and had great one liners
The “Carson is Lady Mary’s father” theory is ridiculous!!!
Please note that Lady Edith did not actually marry Michael Gregson as was stated in this video. Edith bore Marigold out of wedlock.
I do hope a third movie will be written and produced but I’m not sure it will. If it does go ahead I would prefer it be a movie and not a musical.
I agree. Very stupid.
Totally agree. Michael Gregson was already married. He went to Germany in order to get his divorce. In England, he couldn't because his wife was unable to give consent since she had a mental health illness
Can't wait for the next Downton Abbey!!!
Ugh. Not a musical. And not a time jump. Would love to see a continuation of the timeline and characters. Love this series!

Julian Fellows in a British daytime show,said there would be a new series in two years time,as long as he could get all the actors consenting
Yes, I would love to see Downton Abbey as a chronical for the major events that impacted the UK in the 20th century as you've noted in your comments.
I honestly think a good prequel is the way to go. Go back to how Robert meets Cora with the American Milliion Dollar princesses story. Cora coming to Downton and having to find her way in English society. We would meet a young Carson (is he the head butler at that point, or is he valet to lord Grantham?), young Mrs. Patmore. ....

Another movie would be great. But Carson as Lady Mary’s father is absurd.
This is the greatest show !! Carson is not Mary's father !!
No musical. I do hope they make another movie. Perhaps even a return of series , that would be nice.
No Musical...lol Carson is NOT Lady Mary's father and, YES!! WE WANT NUMBER 3!!!!! Please Julian....get to work!!
Definitely Downton 3 please 😊. But NOT a musical..!! 😢
I would love to see another series of Downtown ABBY
Yes, a TV ser
I would love to see a third Downton Abbey movie. Absolutely!❤️👍
Is there a second movie?. Where was that screened.?
The Crawleys have dealt with financial issues previously is like saying the Sun also rose on some previous days.
I wouldn't mind if the Downton Abbey story line eventually followed what happened to so many of these country estates. A great intro would be a 100+ year old Daisy visiting the museum house and reminiscing about its final days.

Would love to see more and more. This series speaks to a time where honor and ones word meant something. Give us more.
Please I am a die hard fan but I don’t want a musical
Very excited if we get a third movie but PLEASE not a musical. I can see Mary's husband volunteering to fly in the RAF.
Fergus Dublin Ireland
The franchise has been such a winning recipe, don't make iit a flop
with a Musical!. More humour, strong story lines pleàse Mr Fellowes.
Thanks, Fergus
I am definitely on board for Downton Abbey 3. I don't think Carlson is Lady Mary's father due to the relationship with Lady Cora. Henry Talbot could easily die during a car race. Please another movie of the Crowley's.
Downton Abbey forever another movie.
.…family name is ‘Crawley’………
Carson as Lady Mary’s father is going WAY TO FAR!! I’d pass….
When you reach middle age its time not money that is cherished remember harsh reality is better than false hope
The downtown Abbey 🎉 movie squeal 3 would be wonderful idea
A 3rd movie would be great! Sure hope it comes soon. So many relationships to be explored yet.
Does Julian read this blog,I hope so because I have a suggestion. When war is declared how about the movie star and Barrow returning to England to help as in real life David Niven did. And build the movie stars life there as perhaps a small acknowledgement an honor to Al Bowly who was killed in an air raid and Barrow returns to Downton abby to help run a hospital?
Wish a prequel would be written and filmed
What a good idea ! ❤

Looking forward to the next season, all the kids are grown up and just old enough to fight in the next war.
I hope they do a #3. No to a musical.
More Downton please!
Make a movie or series of the young lady violent and her many love interests
Spero davvero che ci sia un nuovo film, con i vecchi e eventualmente nuovi protagonisti.
I think there should should be 1 more and last 'Downton'. I think it should show Lady Mary taking over the helm at Downton as she takes the family into the future.
No No No, Carson can't be Mary's father
No Musical!!!!! Ever!!!
Carson can´t be lady Mary´s father...that´d spoild the effect. She wouldn´t be an aristocrat. I don´t like the idea...not at all!
Bring it on!
J Fellows has got his hands full with the Gilded Age!
Ridiculous that Carson is father of Lady Mary!
I would love more Downton! Instead of a movie a limited/mini series would be great. They could do a prequel of lord and lady granthams romance, or the Dowager and her husbands story, and/or do the kids in their early adulthood and preferably all of the above!
Michelle Dockerty portrayed Eliza Doolittle in PYGMALION on stage in 2015. Wish she would do the film version.
I wish there's scene of Matthew Crawley which happen in flashback such as how he met Lavinia first time
A musical? The horror!
I cant wait for number three!!
Comment by C: Lady Edith gave birth to an out-of-wedlock daughter, Marigold; she was married only once.
I love this movie and series. More please
I hope not takes away. The sense of purity like people of wealth were just screwing around. You see that in documentaries too, but I just can’t see how falling in love with him.
I don’t think Carson is Mary’s dad. Silly!
WWII with the passing of his Grandfather, Sir George becomes the new Earl of Grantham.
As WWll approaches Sir George And His Wing-Man John Bates Jr. Are Learning to Fly Spitfire's...(Something 17-18 yo Boys were about in the late 1930's)
The plot lines are.endless...

No Musical! That would destroy the entire legacy of Downtown.
Isn't there a season 7 in the works?
Downton 3 ? Sure why not but wouldnt the title better serve by calling it Downton the Next generation ?
I would prefer "Downton Abbey" to have consisted of 13, 55 Minute Episodes Per Anum, broadcasting from 2000, set in 1900 onwards.
“It’s time to pass the torch to new characters”
This never works out for shows, and ends up feeling like a cheap knockoff.
Carson being Mary’s father would be beyond stupid. This cannot happen to preserve the shows legacy.
No. Carson is not Mary's father. That would change EVERYTHING. Mary's son would no longer be the heir to the Downton estate, and they would be back to season 1, having to find the rightful heir.

Carson has known Mary since she was born and has been a father figure because he cares about her deeply. That does not mean she could be his daughter. No way, no how.
A musical instalment would certainly put an end to the series...ugh.
Prequel with Maggie and her husband and their children.
Mary and henry no chemistry at all!!!! I miss matthew crawley!
I won't watch it unless Brendan Coyle and Joanne Froggatt appear as the romantic couple, John & Anna!!!!
We all want another movie time is awast'n
Let's not muddy the water water.
George will be of age to fight.
Great news 🎉
No musical please. Could we hope for a series instead of a movie (which l thought were quite pale compared to the show)? A prequel would be interesting, although it would need all new actors, but a continuation in the thirties would be great too - with Thomas coming back. Everyone can dream 🥰
A musical!!! Absolutely not!!! What next, have them perform in a circus?? 😳😳😤😤
It's absurd to have Carson as Mary's father. It would hurt the series, not help it. Downton Abbey is a beautifully era drama, NOT a ridiculous musical. They would have to be absolute idiots to make it into a musical. I am looking forward to the 3rd movie, as I have no doubt it will be well made as the previous episodes and movies.
Instead of making sequel they must make prequel
1:56 Yeah I dont see that happening now
Noooooo musicals!! Please!!
The same characters should be played by same actors , new characters are welcome.
if carson is marys father , who is the mother ????
It would be wonderful to see them fold into WWII --- maybe hide some Jews --- Mrs. Hughes having a late-in-life baby --- Edward abdicating the throne to marry Wallis Simpson. So much history that Julian Fellows could weave into the lives of the Crawleys.
I would love a movie 3 or season 7. No to Carson being Mary’s father.
No thanks not for me !I will be watching the original again !
More More More
Do the Lady Edith and about Tom and his bride.
They will reboot in 15 years.
Apparent Downton IS coming back in 2024 - TV series, not movie. I HOPE they kill of Talbot 🤷🏼♀️ Lady Mary maybe broken for a while - but perhaps bounce back and marry someone like Evelyn Napier (who ive thought would suit her in her later years) maybe... Anyway, itll be fun to see!
Maggie smith will return as a ghost
Please, no musical!😮
Carson is not her father!!
NO.....to musical.
