Samantha Bond (Lady Rosamund) Says She's Not Quitting Downton
Samantha Bond has dismissed rumours she is ready to quit Downton Abbey as
"absolutely untrue".
The 50-year-old actress, who plays Lord Grantham's sister Lady Rosamund in
the hit TV show, has taken time out to pursue a stage project, sparking reports
she may be ready to walk away from the show. But Samantha told ITV's This Morning: "It's absolutely untrue. There was a discussion with producers before Christmas about what shape this year was going to take. I was desperate to get back on to the stage, so we amicably agreed that we'd maybe have a little break - it was all very friendly and done with a lot of love.
"The doors are wide open - I haven't left, and I look forward to returning to
Downton in the near future."
Following the vast success of series one and two, the show is set to return
to ITV1 in September.
Samantha admitted that she was really enjoying working on the stage in What
The Butler Saw, describing it as "the most extraordinary thing I've ever done in
my life".

Michelle Dockery Faces Serious Issue in British PSA
Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary Crawley on Downton Abbey, is currently starring in a new public service ad running in British cinemas that aims to raise awareness of discriminatory attitudes toward people with disfigurements.
Sponsored by the UK charity Changing Faces, the spot shows a man with a badly disfigured face (Leo Gormley, a real life burn victim) watching from his car as a woman (Dockery) arrives at her townhouse on a rainy night. He
then heads for her door. He is, it turns out, a friend who has shown up early for dinner.
“What did you think was going to happen?” the ad’s tagline read.

Claire Calbraith (Housemaid Jane Moorsum)
Interview in RedHanded Magazine
Name : Clare Calbraith
Status: In a relationship
Occupation : Actress (touchwood)
Your ambition : I used to want to be Prime Minister. Or Queen.
Likes : Men who can cook
Dislikes : Teenagers who ride their bikes on the pavement in some sort of ‘we own the streets’ act of defiance. I don’t get it. That’s something children have to do...
Favourite place : Bed. For different reasons on different occasions.
What do you look for in a man : The ability to cook
Any interesting or unusual hobbies : I’m a dab hand with a power tool
Favourite sport : hmm... Does pool count?
Favourite film/TV show : Masterchef
Favourite actor : Ryan Gosling (I liked him before he took his shirt off, honest)
Favourite music : Rock
Tell us something no-one knows about you : I used to be a champion gymnast (okay, that may be a
slight lie, but I have a vague memory of doing a backflip, once…)
Most embarrassing moment: The first time I did TV a driver picked me up from the station. When I said hello, he leaned in for what I thought was a hug. I thought “when in Rome” and hugged him back. He looked perplexed and leaned in for another. I hugged him harder thinking this must be what they do in telly. This happened three times and ended with me grabbing him by the cheeks and planting a kiss square on his
lips. At this point he looked absolutely mortified and said, “No, miss… I’m just trying to get your bag!”
Advice to anyone chatting you up: Maybe square it with my boyfriend beforehand…

The Downton Abbey Christmas Special

Christmas 1919:
Downton Abbey is hosting a lavish Christmas party, yet despite being the season of goodwill, tensions are rife and Bates’s arrest has cast a shadow over the festivities. Will he be a condemned man or will he be found innocent in time to dance with his new wife at the annual servants’ ball? - Mary has to consider her future with Sir Richard Carlisle following a contretemps at the shooting party and Violet has concerns about Rosamund, whose new suitor - the dashing but raffish Lord Hepworth, is not all he seems.

Downton Abbey does disco
What would the Dowager Countess say? The ladies of Downton Abbey have cast off their period costumes in favour of a little disco chic.
Eight of the actresses who appear in the ITV1 drama posed together in a photoshoot for Marie Claire magazine.
Laura Carmichael, who plays shy Lady Edith, chose the most revealing look in a pair of lurex hotpants and off-the-shoulder top.
She was joined by Jessica Brown-Findlay and Michelle Dockery, otherwise known as Lady Sybil and Lady Mary, and Zoe Boyle, who played Lavinia Swire. The actresses who play Downton's dowdy maids were also given the opportunity to dress up for the day. Glamorously attired in a sparkling cocktail dress, Sophie McShera bears little resemblance to her character, the downtrodden Daisy. Joanna Froggatt (Anna), Amy Nuttall (Ethel) and Clare Calbraith (Jane) completed the line-up. Srory Courtesy of The Telegraph

Not sure Lady Grantham would approve: Downton Abbey's aristocratic gels pose in couture for Vogue
We're used to seeing them in demure Edwardian period costumes. But as Downton Abbey prepares to return to our screens, its three young ladies have come into present day in a stunning new photoshoot for Vogue magazine.
Michelle Dockery, Jessica Brown-Findlay and Laura Carmichael, who play the three Crawley sisters in the ITV drama series, have posed in dramatic designer couture.
Swapping the halls of Downton Abbey (aka Highclere Castle in Hampshire) to the equally-historic Kew Gardens, the three actresses pose in their designer garb amongst the horticulture.
Dockery, 29, who plays Lady Mary Crawley - the eldest daughter of Lord and Lady Grantham - told the magazine: 'Our costumes for the show are lovely, but nothing on this.'
While co-star Carmichael, 23, who plays middle daughter Lady Edith, admire her costumes, she admitted she would have lost patience for dressing up on a daily basis. She said: 'It seems insane - sometimes they changed four times a day. All those gloves and jewels and hair slides, it must have been almost a full-time job.'
In the accompanying interview, the actresses have credited surprise hit Downton Abbey with changing their lives.
Jessica Brown-Findlay, 20, who plays the youngest Lady Sybil, turned to acting relatively recently after an injury led her to quit a ballet career. After training with the National Youth Ballet and associates of the Royal Ballet, her dancing career came to an end after undergoing a series of operations on her ankles.
Despite her acting talent, Dockery is also an accomplished jazz singer and sometimes joins her on-screen mother Elizabeth McGovern's (Lady Grantham) band Sadie And The Hot Heads.
The three actresses are currently filming the second series of Downton Abbey, which is set to return to ITV1 in the autumn. The new series if set against the backdrop of World War I - moving on from the sinking of the Titanic which kickstarted the drama of the first series
