Will Mrs. Patmore Find Love?

Lesley Nicol as Mrs. Patmore

Mrs. Patmore is just as plucky in real life as she is on screen; apparently, she has put in a word with Julian Fellowes that she would like to see Mrs. Patmore find love.  After all, so many have found love both upstairs and downstairs in the show, I suppose it could be her turn.  But what sort of person will they have to send in to get Mrs. Patmore's heart to skip a beat? This just means season three will have to come out soon.

On a side note, I would love it, if, in a "it could only happen because it is a movie" sort of way, Mrs. Patmore and Emma Allen from White Christmas sat down one day for a cup of tea and some  busy body gossip.  Emma Allen says in the movie "it took 15,000 men to take my place."  Sound like anyone we know from Downton Abbey?

Predicting Season Three

Masterpiece Online released a short video on what Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Joanne Froggatt and Dan Stevens want to see in Season 3 of Downton Abbey.  Bonneville plainly talks about the enigma of the character's future, stating "that is the great thing about Julian's [Fellowes] scripts; each time you open them you have no idea what is going to be coming up next".  I am cheering for Joanne Froggatt's wish for some dancing, and possibly some new haircuts for the cast.
