Mary's future lies at Downton Abbey, since she owns half of it and George is the heir. If she marries, her husband likely would move in.
Edith and Rose, however, ultimately would move out, whether to marry or to move to London to run a newspaper or whatever, with or without Marigold. The problem with that is that if they move out of Downton Abbey, they pretty much have to leave the show. So, as long as Edith and Rose are part of the story, they'll have to live at Downton Abbey and have their lives unfulfilled.
Just because I haven't seen them doesn't mean they're not doing anything else, but the only actors from this show I have seen in movies are still on the show (Lady Mary and Violet).
Lily James (Rose) plays Cinderella in Disney's latest blockbuster version of that story. It's a huge deal and most likely will be the role that makes her career.
Sophie McShera (Daisy) plays Cinderella's wicked stepsister.
Dan Stevens is doing just fine. He has an apartment in NYC and locals have spotted him all over town. He had a successful run on Broadway after leaving D/A and has done a bunch of Indie films. He also had a small part in the newest Night At the Museum movie.

I'm pretty sure that 'daisy' was in Galavant as well, one of the two surviving servants. We also had Roberts alter ego as a pirate which was cool.
What I meant by the rape comment was that if it turned out the husband killed Greene because he raped his wife, not too many police would be upset by it. Wouldn't it be considered a crime of passion?
The situation presented by the writers was that Anna was concerned that her husband would react violently and the police would hold his previous record against him. The exact same situation could easily happen today in the UK and US.
"Crime of passion" doesn't apply at all, that's only when something happens immediately in the heat of the moment, when the perpetrator is so shocked and caught up emotionally in the moment that s/he doesn't have time to cool off or consider consequences, and there is no premeditation. If Bates did kill Greene, premeditation was involved and the interval between the rape and the killing was long enough to negate any legal definition of "crime of passion".

Thanks for the clarification. I knew when I wrote it it wasn't really the term I was looking for, but I don't know what is. I was meaning wouldn't it be considered as a justifiable reaction to the rape of his wife? I'm sure they don't like vigilante justice, but the man could maybe be considered temporarily insane. I would take into consideration if I were on the jury, and an all male jury in those days probably would sympathize. Again, I'm thinking like an American with no understanding of the British mindset at the time.
