Jimmy Fallon did a Downton Abbey spoof on his show Fri (April 13th). Pretty big production with the sets, costumes. It wasnt really that funny like most of his stuff but he did sort of nail the show. Brook Shields had a cameo and she wasn't even on the show as a guest.
CBS doesn't let stuff stay up on you tube so I don't know where you can catch it but for fans I think its worth a watch.

It's possible, though, the studio just wants it kept secret. If they announced, "Yes, she's leaving", her death, or move, or however else they might get rid of her wouldn't be as unexpected. They can deny it 'til the episode they kill her off!
So the press representatives for the show, quoted by the NYT, are saying it's not true, and Rebecca Eaton, one of the executive producers (http://omg.yahoo.com/news/downton-abbey-season-3-death-195703632.html - broken link) is hinting that someone important will die. But who?

"somebody will be born and somebody will die, somebody pretty key in the cast."
If it is Maggie Smith's character, and if they kill her in the finale, then the quote in the NYT would still be true...
Quote:
A press representative for Carnival Films said on Monday that the Daily Mail report was “complete nonsense,” adding, “We never comment on future story lines but it’s not true that she’s leaving.” Others were less definitive in their rebuttals: A press representative for Masterpiece, said that it did not discuss future stories on “Downton Abbey” and Ms. Smith’s representatives at Independent Talent Group in London declined to comment.
Maggie Smith (and most British actresses) should be applauded for this. They are able to look natural when the play roles requiring women "of a particular age" instead of being all snatched up and pulled back like American actresses "of a particular age".
I agree. I also admire Elizabeth McGovern for not caving to Hollywood and going under the knife. It is SO refreshing to see actresses look natural for their age!
