Downton Abbey Extras - LOTS OF STUFF

This post is a bit of a mixed bag... New stuff, Fun stuff (especially if you watch Once upon a Time), Informative stuff and Cool Fashion stuff 

I think it's all Great Stuff.  Something for everyone, right?  Enjoy!

The NEW Stuff

Julian Fellowes talks about Dan Stevens leaving the show and season 4

Dowager Countess - Best Moments - Series 3 episodes 1-4

What's in store for Lady Edith?

Downton Abbey star Laura Carmichael has revealed Lady Edith Crawley is set to get feisty in the new series.

The actress has just begun filming the fourth series of the hit period drama and revealed while her character had a reputation for being a bit dowdy and desperate to marry in previous series, she has now become quite a modern, independent woman.

Laura said: "She's coming into her own a little bit I think. It's all be ups and downs. But I think after being jilted I think she's thrown it all out the window, any ideas she did have in the first place and I think that's been good for her. It's given her a bit of independence and hotspur. I love playing her."

In the last series Lady Edith became the first woman in the family to get a job, writing a diary column about her social life, much to the disapproval of her father.

And Laura revealed at the Elle Style Awards that Edith will get more glamorous too.

She said: "We're moving along through the '20s so I think there will be more styles that people recognise as 1920s and I think it's going to be a really exciting time.

"Our costume designer Caronlie McCall, she's been with us since the beginning and she's known us for four years now, so it's been really fun playing around with her and trying out ideas.

"I think there will be lots of really glamorous things to get excited about."

The Cool Fashion Stuff

The FUN Stuff

Recognize the lady with the red hair??
While on hiatus from playing Downton Abbey cook Mrs. Patmore, Lesley Nicol performed in a play, voiced a character for the upcoming animated movie Turkeys (with Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson) and shot an episode of ABC's Once Upon a Time, playing a royal attendant to young Snow White's mother, Eva (Rena Sofer). All the while, five top-secret scripts for Downton's Season 4, which focuses on how the household copes in the aftermath of Season 3's death toll, have been piling up at her London home.

The Grim Reaper will likely be visiting Eva, too. (Hey, we all know how that fairy tale plays out.) But off screen, Nicol found the Vancouver Once set to be a lively locale filled with many die-hard Downton fans. "Ginny Goodwin [Snow], Josh Dallas [Charming] and Lana Parrilla [Regina] all told me they were admirers of the show," says Nicol. "I was really welcomed, which made it much easier to do my job."
