Cora is a brilliant character :D Please add me to the list :flowers:

Added you. :)

I loved her for being there when Mary needed help carrying Pamuk. If it's between her father & mother, Cora would definitely be a bit more understanding. Even when Sybil got injured, Robert was screaming and Cora was more understanding. She's always very supportive of her family - a trait I love about her.

add me as well :)
she is always smiling

I know she wasn't going to die when she had that Spanish flu but it did worry me. Never mind Robert's fling with Jane, she's been the best wife she can be even if she has had her little quarrels with him and eventually she tells him about Pamuk & Mary. It must be hard for her to keep that from her husband.

add here too plz:flowers:

Welcome! :wave:

I admit I wasn't too keen on Lady Cora first but eventually, and especially that Pamuk ep, she won me over. :)

Add me :)

I wasn't expecting her to do that, but I'm glad she always supports her family.

She does always support her family :nod:

Love that pic she is one classy lady :love:

She's a very classy lady. Granted she has had her small disagreements with Robert but in the end, they always want what is best for their children. It would've been interesting to see if she went on to have the baby baby boy. I bet he'd be super spoiled.

I bet he would have been so spoiled :nod: :D

Add me too, please :)

That's what I think it's very interesting and appealing about her; she has her own opinions and fights for them.

I was so surprised when she got pregnant :D

Added you. :)

It's very surprising when she got pregnant considering Mary's probably in her early 20's that time? :look:

It was a surprise to everyone especially Cora and Robert but they were all so happy :D

I love Robert's reaction when he found out. :lol:

That was funny :lol:

What a beautiful picspam. :)

Add me please? :flowers:

Did you guys know this? :)

Downton's Elizabeth McGovern at Isle of Wight Festival

Downton Abbey star Elizabeth McGovern has been confirmed as one of the acts performing on the main stage at this year's Isle Of Wight Festival.

Promoter John Giddings promised to roll out the red carpet for the actress, who plays the Countess of Grantham in the ITV1 period drama.

McGovern, 50, will be singing with rock band Big Country, whose hits include In a Big Country and Fields of Fire.

She said: "I am thrilled to be playing with such a stellar cast of musicians."

McGovern has her own band called Sadie and the Hotheads, who are also to perform at the festival.

Tony Butler from Big Country said: "We had a tradition of working with great female vocalists such as Kate Bush and Eddi Reader in the past, so having the opportunity to have Elizabeth perform with us at the IOW is going to be really cool."

Mr Giddings said: "I have been a fan since Once Upon A Time In America.

"As soon as I found out that Elizabeth could sing, it was a must to invite her to play at the festival.

"We will roll out the red carpet for Lady Cora."

Both bands will be performing on 23 June.

The date of the festival has been moved from its normal slot in early June, to avoid clashing with the Diamond Jubilee and half-term holidays.

The weekend of 22-24 June is traditionally taken by the Glastonbury Festival but it is taking a year off.

Headliners for the festival include Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen.

Haha, Cora is so surprised but very happy. Love all their reaction in that scene. LOL at Sir Richard walking in the background but we never get to see his reaction. :lol:

Thanks for posting that picture of Cora. It's a bit like one of Mary's black dresses. :)
