(My English friends tell me all will be well when I've seen the finale, but still...)


Maybe a job fell through for Tom, Mr. leech. Maybe he was tired of having to take care of a child when a nanny can do it.


Maybe Mrs. Hughes will turn out to be pregnant and turn Carson into a puppy.

I'm watching PBS now. Julian Ovenden ("Charles Blake") was singing. Good voice.

Me too. Although I watched the entire series already (through a link that was provided somewhere on here) I think I'll watch the finale again tonight. It's the UK Christmas special. A lot happens in this final episode, A LOT!

Wow! Does Phyllis Logan look different than Mrs. Hughes or what?

Why do I think that Carson is going to take ill, and be replaced by Barrow?

I want Denker to Go Away. Can't stand her!

Oh, Mrs. Hughes noticed Carson's 'shaking' too! Uh-oh.

I bet that Edith is going to walk out of the wedding; Bertie's mother is a pompous moralizing b*tch and he's too much under her thumb.

Bertie's mom is ridiculously clueless about her own son. What a drip she is.

I was glad that Bertie's mother evidently has had a change of heart about Edith. Edith finally showed she had a brain by being honest - what a concept - to her prospective mother in law.

I still think Thomas is going to replace Carson; they keep cutting back to Thomas to show how miserable he is, and Carson's not getting better, so....

For heaven's sake, why doesn't Carson see a doctor just to confirm the diagnosis?

I don't know how Mary can cope without Carson around to validate almost everything she does....
