Downton Abbey,O'Brien,Thomas & Bates

[follyfancier]

what are Mrs O'Brien and Thomas to each other and why do they have a grudge against Bates?

[welshlibranr]

I don't think they have any kind of relationship really, I think it's just that they have both been there before Bates, and feel threatened by him because he was the master's batman, and they know that their master trusts Bates!.......

[chrissa1]

Also...... Bates caught them and proved to Carson, that they stole some wine.

[emmie]

I think they are two of a kind, nasty spiteful types with a chip on their shoulders. Mr Bates has rather supplanted them i guess in the household, as he holds more sway with his Lordship, plus his relationship with Anna.
I am hooked on this series just like the first, and what's worse there is going to be a Christmas special where things go rather awry, perhaps leading to a third series, aghh

**SPOILER**

Next week either Matthew or William is going to die.

[follyfancier]

thank you

[chrissa1]

Well it's not going to be Matthew is it???????????

[Ric.ror]

I bet shes his mum

[chrissa1]

Ooh,nice one Ric.ror. She could be.

[echokilo]

Who is who's mum?? Confused!!

[pips1]

I think Ric.ror means that Mrs O'Brian might turn out to be Thomas' mum.

[emmie]

I would hope not, think it's just two peas out of the same pod, bad uns both

Pure supposition I don't like unhappy endings
