[mishd310]

Just started watching this show and I loved it. I'm not one for period dramas but needless to say I'm hooked...

I guess I have to dl season 2 lol....

I'm glad to see more DA viewers. In US, nasa 2nd season pa sila..you'll love the 2nd season and most specially the Christmas Special.

Before I start to watch DA, I came to see The Young Victoria starring Emily Blunt, and to my surprise..it was Julian Fellows who wrote it pala...also the creator of DA. Just saying....:-)

Add me to the fans, katatapos ko lang ng Christmas Special. At hinalughog ko pa ang thread na to.

I can't wait for Season 3! Wala ba silang, Summer Special or ____ Day Special?

[boytoy143]

^Yeah. Kailangan talagang hukayin ang thread na 'to!

I'm skipping reading the posts for now. I'm only on S02E04.

This is my favorite show right now. Just amazing!

[noname101]

so excited for the third season especially since "the wedding" will finally happen...but mixed emotion since this season will prolly be [spoiler start]Dame Maggie Smith's [spoiler end] last...

Nagsabi na siya? Siya pa naman din ang comic relief ng show. Sana wag siya patayin para makabalik kung sakali.

Di ko alam yung kaso ng British Series, mga anong series usually nag-eend ang mga shows?

[boytoy143]

Ay, sayang naman for Maggie Smith. Pero baka di na kaya ng katawan niya. When I saw an interview about how they do things in Downton, sabi nung creator na kailangan pa ni Madam Maggie Smith na iwheelchair from her trailer papunta sa location nila.

I don't know with british series, Skins ended with Series 5. Yun lang pinafollow ko eh.

Nagsabi na siya? Siya pa naman din ang comic relief ng show. Sana wag siya patayin para makabalik kung sakali.

it was reported that she asked to be written out of the series...although it was denied by reps of PBS saying that they cannot comment on future storylines, i wouldn't be surprised if she's the supposed "death" this season...

[carlhiro]

Oooh. It'll be sad. Pero di naman na ganun ka-integral ang story niya sa Downton.

Shirley MacLaine will be joining the cast of Downton Abbey and will be playing Lady Grantham’s mother, Martha Levinson. Expect sparks to fly when Martha comes up against the formidable Dowager Countess... We can't wait for that moment!

Dang. I wish it was another actress. I really don't like Shirley Maclaine. Hopefully, the writers become disappointed and only cast her in a couple of episodes.

[Jonny]

Oooh. It'll be sad. Pero di naman na ganun ka-integral ang story niya sa Downton.

She provides so much of the comic relief in the show though! I HOPE that they write in a character that will do this.

I want a happy ending for Lady Rosamund as well. She deserves someone in her life.

[tintura_de_yodo]

Uy buhay ulit ang thread.

Finished all seasons including the Christmas Special. And yeah, sana magtagal pa si Maggie Smith sa Downton. We need more of her wit and confusion with the modernizing world of the early 20th century. She needs to learn more about weekends.

[carlhiro]

But she's retiring already. Old age.

Shirley MacLaine Makes Her 'Downton Abbey' Debut



When "Downton Abbey" returns for Season 3 in 2013, viewers will finally get to meet Lady Cora's (Elizabeth McGovern) mother, Martha Levinson, who is played by Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine.

The American Film Institute recently honored MacLaine with its 40th "AFI Lifetime Achievement Award" (Sun., 9 p.m. ET on TV Land), during which stars paid tribute to the veteran actress.

Whetting fans' appetites for MacLaine's much-anticipated sparring with Maggie Smith, McGovern introduced a clip of the pair as their characters are reunited at the start of "Downton" Season 3.

Arriving at Downton, Martha came face-to-face with the redoubtable Violet, Dowager Countess of Grantham (Smith). "Oh dear," said Martha. "I'm afraid the war has made old women of us both."

When Violet asked Martha how she found Downton upon her return, she replied, "Much the same really. Probably too much the same, but then, I don’t want to cast a pall over all the happiness."

MacLaine told TV Guide that she loved working with old pal Maggie Smith. She teased that, "Our characters' relationship is probably not what you'd think ... Maggie and I are both so old, we have a lot of time on us to discuss."
