I think after all the Bates have been through, the writers would be pretty tone deaf to ruin Anna's dream of a family to end the series. I have a feeling they'll give her a happy ending (with the requisite drama first, of course.)

That does seem the likely outcome, leaving her in her usual misery would be like ending a Shirley Temple film with her learning she has a fatal disease.

I hope you're right. Anna is understandably afflicted with anxiety because of her many misfortunes. She's trained herself to not hope for too much based on her personal past and place in society as a servant. Hopefully she can get past her anxiety sooner than later for both her the audience's sake.
Why is Barrow being almost shunned? Did I miss something? Or have I forgotten something?
Seems cumulative. Carson never liked him. John Bates obviously does not, for good reason. Robert doesn't like him and doesn't want him around ("Who has an underbutler?"). Face it, the guy should have been canned before the war started, and about a dozen times since then.

Yes, isn't that tidy?
Edith didn't figure Mrs. Drewe would go dotty. Mr. Drewe should have ...

The phrase "the dark side" no doubt has been around many, many years before Star Wars.

That something has a "dark side", yes, but as far as I can tell from a cursory search, the phrase "go over to the dark side" is from Star Wars and wouldn't be something that an English aristocrat would say in 1925:
By now, for all but the geekiest English speakers, go over to the Dark Side has shed its association with the film. It seems so natural. It could have been in English for centuries. Yet Jeff Prucher insists in Brave New Words: The Oxford Dictionary of Science Fiction (2007) that the term the Dark Side for ‘force of evil’originated in Star Wars

Some misfortunes yes, but she did get Mr. Bates....
Doesn't it make more sense for Edith to move to London than for the farmer family to move? She is the one that dragged them into this mess in the first place. Although that would solve the problem for Daisy's father-in-law. He could take over that tenancy.
Bingo. I think that's where the story line is going.

I hope you're right. Unlike a lot of posters, Bates and Anna are among my favorite characters. I don't necessarily understand Anna's hesitation to be more upfront with her husband, but I do sympathize with them both. They're good people and this series damn well better end on a positive not for them!!!!
