- O'Brien is known for her prickly character and manipulative ways, but even by her own standards, she knew she'd took this particular scheme too far.
After mistakenly believing that Cora was looking for a new maid, O'Brien planted a wet bar of soap underneath a pregnant Cora's bath. Cora slips on the soap and miscarries her baby. O'Brien is sickened with remorse, especially when she learns about her misunderstanding during a conversation with the Dowager.

The main reason I could never ever ever ever ever ever ever like O'Brien. What pisses me off the most is that she got away with it and then she had the nerve to act like the most righteous person throughout the rest of her time on the show. love the actress hate the character
Yes!! she got away with everything. Made me so mad. But when Mr Bates humbled her that made me happy. She was still a jerk though.
Its not a baby at that stage...far from it
really O'Brien is my favourite character she's always so fiesty
@@Harry-bn5mp Will you shut up. We're not here to discuss that, we're here to discuss the stupid O'Brien and how she got away with it.
The actress is amazing at making you hate her character. That's how you know the actor is good as a vilian.
“You are sailing perily close to wind O’Brien.” Said everything in that sentence and never raised her voice. 👑
@@Hannari-xt6nr Autocorrect can sabotage us sometimes. Just enjoy the quote and move on.
This baby could've had a future, their parents wanted them, the parents are brokenhearted, and she did all of it for what ? Out of spite ? Because she BELIEVED she was going to be replaced. That woman is sick.
😍😍😍
It's fiction, dear.
Don’t talk to Janice like dat
And Cora was never really bad to O'Brien, she was always respectful and kind towards the people who worked around them, she relied strongly on O'Brien when the baby was gone, too. O'Brien was a terrible person, she was willing to cause so much pain for two parents and literally the loss of a child because she misunderstood a conversation that she's overheard.
It reflects some humans perfectly. People take vengeance on others based on similar occurrences, eg. half truths, outward lies.
When she found out she wasn’t getting replaced ohhh the guilt on that face.
@Ellie5621 why would she think it was on purpose ?, She would have just thought it was bad luck, an accident, Poor Cora later lost her youngest daughter Sybil too .
@Ellie5621she told her off in front of everyone bc O'Brien was disrespecting her family in front of everyone in HER HOME.
Sometimes you need to put people in their place right on the spot so they learn a lesson.
Ms O'Brien really should've been brought to justice in some way. That was pure evil.
I like to think that being Susan's lady's maid and putting up with her was kind of her punishment. Besides, O'Brien really was remorseful about what she did, which is why she tried to take such good care of Cora when she had Spanish flu.
Why did she do that?
@@maxpower2093 she thought she was being replaced and acted out, then discovers at the end of the video the advert/conversation was about hiring someone for violet, not cora (and replacing o'brien). The actress quit the show in between seasons I believe, so they couldn't really do anything other than hastily write her out
I love the realisation dawning on O'Briens face when she realises that she is not being sacked!
I loved it
Siobhan Finneran is amazing
And the fear she feels thinking gosh what have I done? If they find out I'll for sure be sacked.
I love how Cora could rip someone to shreds and never raise her voice. Did Cora ever find out the truth about the soap?
No
No, the only one who knew was Barrow but he had secrets of his own and he knew O'Brien would not hesitate to tell if pushed into a corner. A few seasons later she left for a new family travelling overseas and never came back.
I remember she left because I believe Barrow told Bates who used it against her. He whispered “her ladyship’s soap” to her, and snuck out that night.
frozenchipmunk4 I think not, O’brien left after the travel to the Highlands where she was hired by Lady Flintshire
no, never
O'Brien did a lot of terrible things, but nothing tops this. I think at times she wanted to be a better person but her nature always got in the way.
I don't hate her but "her ladyship's soap" is not something one comes back from.
I think she more felt class conflict. And her anger at the system got the better of her, her and Tom Branson were kinda similar in that regard but Tom was an optimist mostly, whereas O'brien was nihilistic.
She really crossed the line there into sociopathy. I can see how Cora's delicate snobbery could have been beyond annoying for her but the "her ladyship's soap" incident is unjustifiable. It's not funny anymore.😦
I hate her.
@@ohdiggy8038 what did the soap do?
@@luckycharms7572 It's been a while since I've watched Downton, but I think it was deliberately placed for Cora to slip on causing her to fall and resulting in the miscarriage of her unborn child. If I remember correctly it was also a boy which is significant because she and her husband had three daughters but no sons, so learning it was a male child complicated their grief. Grief, loss, Cora's physical suffering, death of the child. The point is this was no accident and wasn't a spontaneous abortion mother nature style. O'Brien deliberately made this happen. She had intent. Also, the punishment didn't fit the crime. O'Brien felt slighted by Cora sure. That's understandable and relatable. Her feelings are justified. But she chose to take things to a whole other level when she harmed Cora and murdered the child. And she enjoyed doing it. And she felt no remorse afterwards.
As far as I'm concerned, this was attempted murder against Cora. She was intending to cause any harm possible, and the sheer possibilty that Cora could have hit her head on the tub or floor on the way down and been killed was clearly accounted for. Doesn't matter that she had second thoughts, in that moment she was perfectly willing to orchestrate Cora's death.
Not attempted. Intentionally causing someone to miscarry their child (when it isn’t an abortion they consented to) IS MURDER.
This is how insecure people self-sabotage.
Anger, unforgiveness, and pessimism ruin your potential happiness if you let them consume you.
O'Brien learns this the hard way.
Absolutely. O'Brien ASSUMED. You know what happens when you assume....
Lucky for O'Brien, she got away with it. In reality, our self-sabotage truly does something harmful
Thomas did as well. They were two peas in a pod in that way.
Did she? Learn it?
@@AidiaP To the day she was written off the show, she bitterly regretted doing that to Cora. She regretted it so much that she began to distance herself from Thomas when he threatened to expose Mary through Vera Bates and bring “shame to her lady”. She never again made a rash decision in the show solely on emotion or insecurity. It was always calculated and smart.
To be honest, ive never seen this show. It popped up in my recommended. The best 7 minutes and 33 seconds of my life. Im gonna start watching this.
That's what happened to me. I kept getting these videos recommended and still do. After watching so many I finally started watching the show. It's so good. Just started the 2nd season.
have fun. it's addicting lol
Oh how I wish i could be you and watch it for the 1st time all over again
I binge watched it. I would watch an episode at lunch, right before and after dinner. It was mad crazy but oh so good.
Watched all of them. One of the best period dramas on television.
o’brien: im sorry but i have standards
o’brien’s hair: 👁👄👁
😂😂
😂😂🤣
Quite true.
But that's stylish! CURLY BANGS
yeahhhhhhh
Moral of the story: Watch your mouth and don’t jump to conclusions. You might always do something you regret while making impetuous decisions.
I like the complexities of these scenes, specifically how we watch O’Brien move through the emotions of indignation, revenge, regret, and that ‘OMG face’ when the Dowager tells her the lady’s maid Lady Cora was looking for was for her!!
Robert: "sorry to embarrass you"
Bates: "I'm not embarrassed"
OUCH! That always kills me
Safe Space Bear Everything hurts ;D .....
Bates is fiercely loyal to the people he loves.
when Cora is silent it is the most dangerous Situation. She never shouts she stays calm and puts people in their Place.
I really love her and wish to be more like her.
Siobhan Finneran is a brilliant actress. X
She enjoyed being on the show very much
She and Rob James-Collier are such brilliant baddies in this.
I don't understand why she hasn't won a BAFTA yet
She's evil
@@ohdiggy8038 She said it in an interview.
I cannot believe she seriously thought that getting fired justified murdering an unborn child. NOTHING warrants that! She knew how much Cora and Robert wanted that child, that they didn’t want to get rid of it. This was truly an abominable and unforgivable thing that she did. Thomas would never go as far as this; while O’Brien killed Cora’s would-be son, Thomas saved Cora’s daughter from a fire.
In my opinion, I don't believe O'Brien fully grasped the severity of her actions in that moment or thought her actions were justified. She made the floor slippery, but she could not have known that it would lead to Cora losing the baby. I believe this wasn't a carefully planned act of revenge for being fired, but rather a spontaneous outburst fueled by intense anger. O'Brien is a proud and nasty person. I think she felt betrayed and had a momentary, impulsive outburst driven by her intense emotions. In her anger and belief that Cora intended to unjustly dismiss her, she made a rash decision without fully understanding the potentially tragic consequences. The regret she shows moments after highlights her realization, finally thinking rationally. Personally, I prefer this interpretation as it paints a more complex picture of human behavior under extreme emotional duress, where actions can have far-reaching and devastating consequences, even if not initially intended.
@@corsariocapitaoagreed. However, there is already regret when she comes out of the bathroom and tells to herself "this is not you" when she saw herself in the mirror. She was coming into her senses.
@@corsariocapitao I agree. I think O'Brien echoes a lot of people, in that she echoes others' opinions, has occasionally shallow emotions, but can be both good and evil. She is impulsive and her actions show her as a very human person, like when the Dowager and Cora are looking for ladies' maids, she immediately concludes Cora is scheming to fire her, because it's something she would do.
Evil people do evil things. Parasites do what parasites do. She killed her unborn child. Technically if she were in the states today, she'd more than go to jail...
@@corsariocapitaoUnfortunately we never see any evidence that O’Brien is anything but a selfish, impetuous and cruel person who doesn’t care about other people. Even most of her good actions are to assuage her own guilt or are directly to her benefit. Or just to spite someone else
i LOVE O'Brien's character. I mean, I didn't actually like her, but she adds such great drama to the series and the way she comes to bitterly regret her scheming and plotting is just masterful.
Thank you! Everyone should be so grateful that she’s there, full of spite and mean-spiritednesses. And then her redeeming herself (sort of) during the plague. Excellent drama!
Same! And the actress who plays her is simply brilliant in this role, I adore her.
She's a "treasure" alright. She just MURDERED a baby for no reason whatsoever. She thought she was being replaced and it was a COMPLETELY different position they were filling. Honestly, she should have been sacked for what she did. Poor Cora.
No way slipping out of the tub would have "murdered" the baby. Babies float in water inside the womb. It would take a real hit for her to miscarry and how is it that she just happened to step down right on that bar of soap?
@@taroman7100 Are you seriously trying to defend O'brien?
@@taroman7100 Sybil was 18, so Cora was probably 40 or older, that itself is a big risk. Even a simple fall can cause a miscarriage in a young woman, so imagine the severity in an older woman.
@@taroman7100 Hitting the baby isn't the only concern. Trauma to the placenta can knock it loose and kill both of them. Sheer force can break the waters. Concussions can shock the whole system and set off labor.
In reality, the fetus is quite protected in the womb. It would take a much harder knock than that to bring on a miscarriage. It's only a 'soap' opera.
Sterling writing, perfect acting.
Every episode was perfection from start to finish.
It always bothered me that Cora never found out. It could have easily been put in the letter when O’Brian left.
True. I still think something should have been done though. Bates and Thomas found out (not all the details in Bates case) but Kora never did.
@@bloxybuildz5753 - because she can’t take the overwhelming guilt?
I've always loved Cora's face when Mrs Hughes walks in during that first scene. She's like "✨🥰 here's the button we were missing ☺️😇" and then a moment later she's like "but I was shocked🔪🤬😤😠 at what I heard."
1:45 I love how Anna manages to keep herself away from the evil plots. There is probably a lot of people who identifies with her behavior even nowadays in the corporate world. One of my favorite characters along with Sybil and Thomas.
Anna doesn’t keep herself away from the evil plot here, she’s just going to work. Also what O’brien said was based on truth. As many employees viewed servants as a commodity that they could just toss aside
I think we’ve all been there once or twice. A moment - though perhaps not as grave as this - where we had already felt bad for having taken a petty revenge, hurt someone important to us out of carelessness, or said something cruel to a friend out of insecurity. Even though we see in hindsight that it was silly or shameful, we can still hold on to whatever motivated us to feel upset in the first place. They hurt us first.
Then we realize one way or the other that we hadn’t understood the situation. That we betrayed that person twice; once when we refused to believe their story, and the second when we took that revenge.
One of the worst feelings, as if ice is running down the back of your neck.
Free speech exist
Mrs Hughes: "I don't think so!"
“Not when I’m in charge!” Hahahaha
Cora lecturing O'Brien about gossiping and talking about people and things that are none of her business is great, she always thinks she can say what she wants because she thinks no one is listening.
The Granthams were blessed with a son and O’Brien’s pettiness killed him. My greatest regret with the show is that Cora never found out. If she had, O’Brien would’ve ended up in a jail cell, not working for the governor’s wife in India.
In reality that baby would not have been miscarried by a fall. The fetus is quite protected in the womb from jolts worse than a fall.
I never got why Thomas never told . Especially in season 3 when she was out to get him outed and sacked ( she technically did succeed , Robert just did not care )
@@marionarda2790I never got that either! When you have that kind of dirt on someone they can’t touch you. He knows her darkest secret and didn’t use that immediately to shut her down. Waited till his life was in ruins 🤷🏼♀️
04:19 Yes, O'Brien, this is exactly who you are.
Of course the victim here is Cora but I always feel bad for O’ Brien too. She made a decision which she regretted instantly, she tried to fix it but it was too late. And it becomes more tragic to me when I see how nicely she treats Cora after this incident, it just shows how awful she feels and that she never forgot it or forgave herself.
I believe people don’t realize the servants sacrifice everything for the family they serve. She doesn’t have a husband, a child she works long hours and have very few possibilities to get to a better position. Cora could have been a bit smarter and not ask her questions like « how long does it take for a maid to settle ». Cora being part of the Crawleys she doesn’t have the empathy required to see how hurt O’Brien was
ORK Cora appeared so careless obviously because it didn’t even cross her mind that O’ Brien could interpret the things she said like that. But yes, she could’ve thought about that.
This is exactly it! But everyone wants to think that she’s pure evil while I don’t think she is totally. I felt bad for both of them.
Boy, this *is* fiction. If a servant had acted the way O'Brien does at the beginning of this clip, she'd be out on her keyster instantly. Even today, let alone the Edwardian era.
Well I guess Americans could’ve been more forgiving.. I wouldn’t be surprised as they were known for being progressive and soft! Plus O’Brien was an excellent and loyal lady’s maid to Cora who might’ve been hard to replace.. But she was very close to firing her!
I often thought that. I watched the original Upstairs Downstairs, and Mr Hudson wouldn’t have let any of that go on. Also there was no “we are friends” between servants and upper class.
I mean I would not sack somebody that worked for me for years because I catch hem gossiping in the servant hall, which is their place. Getting a whole new person is a whole lot of fuss. I would not want to go trough the process of getting somebody new unless I absolutely had too, and I do agree they are entiteld to their opinions and feelings, as long as it doesn't show. If they dont like my guest thats fine, as long as they be polite to my guest all the same. I dont believe for a second people where sacked in edwardian era's for one time being cought complaining. People complain all the time about all sorts of things. As long as they do their job and do it well, there is no reason to sack. Servants are still people. I dont think every noble would forget that just because they are rich. Convinience is worth something also, and having a steady face around is prefered over new faces all the time. This is not wallmart. Servants where not as often replaced if they did their job well and didn't leave on their own accord. As long as O'Brien wasn't rude to Crawly in his face she IS entiteld to her opinions on him. I dont like her, I dont agree with her opinion on Matthew, but I do agree with her that she has every right to feel what she feels and not be dictated on what her opinions can be. Cora can only judge her on her work and her profesionalism upstairs, not her more private behavior downstairs.
Nah my cousin can’t even raise her voice against housemaid who steal her things.
@@5iveshot170 I think you’re spot on! The dowager countess would’ve seen O’Brien off in an instant for that, but Cora’s Americanness made her slightly more egalitarian.
I love O’Brien. She’s one of the few complex characters in the show. She’s a fabulous villain, and yet is not a cartoon of a person. She has guilt and a conscience. She did wrong, but one could understand her motives (even if they’re still wrong). And what an excellent actress to portray her!
I LOOOOVE her, and was not surprised to learn she’s the creator’s favorite character as well.
O Brian you wretch, may you live forever
O'Brian is an excellent actress. In fact all of them are.
I always wished she would’ve gotten found out cause babyyyyy she made my blood boil lol I couldn’t stand her 😩😂 I wish they would bring Downton Back 😭
Cora look so beautiful here 💕
“Dear O’Brien, how sweet you are”
I really hope Lady Grantham found out about the “her ladyship’s soap” incident! O’Brien literally killed Cora’s unborn baby
She did not kill the baby because it would take more than a fall out of the tub to jolt a miscarriage. Read up about it.
@@taroman7100 of course that may not have been the only reason but it definitely matters abs it doesn’t show compassion for others
Unfortunately, Lady Grantham didn't find out.
@@taroman7100 I disagree
She is not a happy woman...something happened in her story that she acts that ways...evil
I agree. Watched all 6 seasons and was always hoping for more info on her backstory :p
If you listen she says, "This is not you!" She then hastily calls out attempting to have her mistress wait, but it was too late. Her face is stricken with horror at the scream. It is then obvious that she is consumed with guilt for her crime, though she never confesses, and every statement becomes a further grinding of salt into her wounded conscience.
beautiful costumes, millinery, jewels, sets, fabulous
acting superb, loved this series, totally addictive
The "miscarriage by soap" was very unbelievable to me. She'd have to be sure to step on it without looking, and most falls to the floor don't cause a miscarriage.
Not to mention the fact that Cora is righthanded when she holds silverware so she wouldn't have gotten out of the tub on the left side hoisting herself out with her less dominate arm. The whole thing was bizarre.
@@debra2700 You have the keen sense of a detective.
Jarrod: You've obviously never experienced pregnancy. I disagree.
Sometimes you have to embrace your suspension of disbelief and just accept the story that the storyteller is trying to tell. All writers are not created equal. All directors, all actors are not created equal. Sometimes you just have to suspend your disbelief and accept the story that's being told.
It is a bit over the top. I had to consider she fell in to the side of the baths edge striking her pelvis violently. Which may have caused the growing placenta to detach from the uterine wall. Granted it probably would have taken several days for her to miscarry....but, alas. I kinda wish some internet sleuth could do a 3D reenactment of the possibilities.
Not really a plot, was it? Just an impulsive, spur-of-the-moment decision.
I feel like that's what makes it so realistic
Emma Murty I don’t disagree, but the video should be retitled.
It suits the story line
Opportunity presented itself.
"Who says that".... "The law and parliament"🤣
“Not when I’m in charge!” 🤣
I keep having these videos pop up on my feed and it breaks my heart that Downton Abbey is over! It’s by far the best show to have ever been made! Miss it so much!
Watching this again makes me realize how much the loss of this baby boy affected so much to come after e.g. the issue of the heir etc.
why have you stopped posting I really want to see more of these videos please start posting videos again I really miss watching these
Kinda chilling that even O'Brien herself realised the evil she had just started, but alas, it was too late to correct.
0:45 Just shut up, O'Brian 🤦♀️
I keep watching snippets of Downtown on TH-cam, but IV got season one downloaded and ready to become addicted to it and Binge away 🙂
It's addictive...I could watch the whole series and the movie from beginning to end! Fun fact...my gr gr gr grandfather was footman to a Duke in England! I am proud to know some of the family was in service!🥰
That's so cool!
Revenge might be sweet for payback, but the consequences for this maid is painful that the lady of the house lost this unborn child
This was one of the few times Mrs. Hughes made me kind of mad. "There is such a thing as free speech."
"Not when I'm in charge."
It also surprises me how much Cora cringes about her mother coming over.
I don't understand how O'brien got away with leaving the other half of the soap bar under the tub. Wouldn't that be carelessness in her work? A baby's death because of it, how was she not fired?
I mean, Cora literally told her it's okay to leave the other half under the tub
Thank you for the Great video
Such beautiful acting.
I'm sad the owner of this channel is not uploading anymore clips.
1:28 Thomas got told! 🤣 Go Mrs Hughes!
What an incredible actress
Keep up the Great work
But it is not much of a shock that O'Brien did what she did. First, if we look at her character, she is resentful and bitter. She is also not a very nice person. But I don't believe she was evil. What triggered her in bathroom was Cora asking about opinion on maids which at that moment O'Brien took as being ridiculed. If we take that, combine it with her thinking she will be sacked plus her overall personality it is no wonder she acted out at the moment of rage. She quickly realized her mistake and just as she wanted to rectify it Cora had an accident. Then she spent most of her time in Downton trying to redeem the unredeemable.
Certainly a complex character, well written and overall added to the richness of the cast. I miss well written character in shows...
I love this show. O'Brien is one of my favorite character's, she's so cunning.
I'm rewatching the series and I HATED O'Brien from the start! I lost all respect for her the minute she kicked Bates' cane right from under him to make him look incompetent at his job. Who does that?
Same here! I truly despised her character.
Same!!!! What a nasty person to do something like that.
I never grinned as broadly as I did when O'Brien found out she screwed up.
I loved seeing that she jumped to conclusions and that guilt eating at her.
And now you have become her
O'brien was the perfect villain for this show. She did awful things and was completely self serving, but she knew her awfulness had boundaries. She acted too late on this one, but she truly regretted what she did, and tried to stop it seconds before it happened. And she almost destroyed Thomas, who had it coming, but him and Lady Edith had the best character development of anyone else.
when I watched the last episode of Season 1, I was so sure that the first episode of Season 2 will start with O'Brien jumping off from the roof of the Abbey 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I mean, as Dr. Clarkson spoke of, there was a broad chance she would miscarry anyways because of her age, so I was kind of just waiting for her to lose the baby honestly. But when I looked back at this scene and realized Obrian put that soap there so she would fall, I was absolutely shocked and saddened.
How old do you think she was ready? Sybil was 18, Mary was maybe 21. She was at most 42. Many people have babies at that age especially when they have had one before successfully.
@@chanaberlove8720 You have to remember the time period. Even today pregnancies in a person's 40s are termed "geriatric" and are treated specially + are watched more carefully. This is the Edwardian era, where maternal mortality rates were still extremely high, and they didn't have the same methods of care we have today.
My mother had my brother at 43, and it involved taking medicine to increase her progesterone and months of bedrest. I can't speak for all women who have babies after 40, but it's almost certainly harder for them than it is for a woman who is younger
There is not a „broad chance“ of miscarriage when you get older but of genetic abnormalities.
That’s something different.
@@pandakatiefominz
Wrong. This nonsensical and misogynistic term hasn’t been used for decades anymore.
@@pandakatiefominz
PS
The treatment and bed rest you describe in your mother is not representative
O’Brien has blood on her hands.
Its not a baby at that stage...far from it
@@Harry-bn5mp shut up
@@logiciansvlog5800 What? Am I wrong?
@@Harry-bn5mp yes.
@@logiciansvlog5800 Ok. Explain.
I know it would have been forbidden back then but it would have been nice if Bates could have given Lord Grantham a hug after telling him "it would have been a boy"
DOWNTON ABBEY YOUR COMING BACK
"wuh yew discussing mista cruwlay?"
Can post the scene where bertie and edith get back together at the ritz
Siobhan Finneran is an amazing actor
Love Elizabeth McGovern and how she played Cora ❤😊 Luv Luv Luv!!!
I can hardly imagine how shattered and distraught she must´ve been when she finally collected what she had done and on what basis.. and let´s not throw stones - we all have these moments when we did a "nasty nasty" to someone.. even if the grounds for doing it were unjustified and based solely on merely hints and overhearings.. her greatest mistake was to not being truly open to Cora and using her position to soothe her deflated ego and looking down on the others while tattling to Cora if she ever "discovered" anything "unusual".. sadly her calculative nature was stronger for those two minutes.. and of course she had been plaqued with remorse ever since.. the horror when she realized and the guilt must´ve been punishment pretty much itself.. and looking at it, she didn´t truly got away with it cuz she was forced to leave..
She left because Rose's mother was travelling to India and she invited O'Brien with her secretly. She was very envious of the hair styles Cora had and wanted to get it for herself. O'Brien left without notice in the middle of the night.
I've never killed a baby. I'm disgusted so many people liked your comment.
@@animec-dramaskpop6362 life is pain GET OVER IT!! and FYI it's just a serial.. Plus I didn't justify anywhere her wrong doings now DID I?!!
@@lexsmith8689 It's a series not serial. Life is pain and O'Brien should have suffered far more than what she did.
Finneran was so good in ‘The Stranger’ as well. O Brien’s arc does eventually reveal her tender side despite her abrupt departure.
In the movie Downton Abbey when you see mr. Carson walking to the main house you could see the pride in His step you can see the pride in his eyes
O'Brien, you killed a baby for nothing.
I am so sorry for your loss my darling love 💔
Negative thoughts and suspicions about people always leads to these kinds of things. Now she's wronged someone in a way that she can't reverse.
They could make five more movies of Downton Abbey if they wanted to
I love Cora! I love her standing up for her family, also I love when Mrs Hughes gets angry! Also, O'Brien deserves a slap when ever she insulted Cora, a really hard one! AND THE SOAP!!! I want to hit her so hard till she is begging for mercy, poor Cora and the baby! I cry when ever I hear that scream coming from the bathroom
Wash she pregnant?
@@helenarichard Yup. That's why Lord Grantham was crying and found out it was going to be a boy.
You're no better than O'Brien, wanting to slap and hit her. Physical violence is rarely the answer.
When O'Brien tells Cora to wait after realising what she did wrong at that moment Cora slips was so heartbreaking for me. O'Brien realised what she did and wanted to stop it but it was too late
When she looked in the mirror and went "Sarah O'brien, this is not who you are." I had a lot of respect for her. It's a pity her realisation came too late.
The fact that the writers made O’Brien a smoker was quite meaningful. In those days, women generally didn’t smoke. It was considered masculine and expressly unfeminine. For women, it was considered a sign of loose morals and/or a gruff unrefined nature.
Rose is a smoker as well
People are exaggerating so much saying she was trying to kill Cora.
No. She was not. She was trying to injure Cora so she could take care of her and show her that she was the lady's maid Cora needed and didn't need to be replaced.
Calm down, drama queens.
Can you please upload the clip when Robert sees Teo the puppy for the first time?
The guilt O'Brien must felt when the
Dowager told her she was looking for
A lady's maid, would have been unbearable.
I guess I need to watch this again, how did Bates find out?
My God, I missed this episode the first time around.
When is Season 1, Episode 8, ect.... going to play on PBS?
Season 1 only has 6 episodes
I wonder how the servants hall scene would have played out if Mr. Carson had stepped into the room along with Lady Grantham?
ok so I guess you have posted the entire show now
This was so evil, killing someones child is not in any shape or form a fair response to maybe being fired. Argh I hate her I get so mad about this scene
That s O Brien . She brings nuclear weapons to a fist fight. Thomas refused to help her nephew become a valet weeks after becoming à footman , she schemed for weeks to get him outed and sent to jail ( and it worked beautifully , as most her schemes did , lord Grantham just knew and cared very little about Thomas sexuality)
I like Downton Abbey
I was elated when O'Brien left. She should've been sacked much earlier. Now she's Rose's nasty mama's problem. They deserve each other. I just wished Bates had let Mary know about the 'soap secret' before she got away. Mary would've been the go-to girl to give O'Brien the beat-down she deserved! 😂
That’s the scene we needed. O’Brien got off too easy.
I hate that O'Brian involvement in the miscarriage never came out. I wanted her punished for her doing.
Can you imagine working at a house like this for 30-40 years and then retiring back then can you imagine working until you're 70 years old then retiring mr. Carson was a lucky I remember this one episode The Earl of Grantham told Mr Carson that he could retire live on the property and receive a pension from the state that was a great employer
Only came here cuz I saw this while I was watching television and I was like:
"....wait my name's Abbey."
She thought about it but also remade her mind. In the end, she's human. And I can understand that she felt desperate about being sacked.
Just goes to show, *question before you act!*
I love seeing O'Brien realize she had been so wrong in her assumptions, that she had let her spite cloud her judgment so completely
That was so mean...😢😢
