Hi everyone and welcome to our new home. :wave: I will still be watching S6 which is reportedly the last of the show and until then, we'll have to get through this long hiatus first.

Posting here the the pics/news of Kate's visit on the set of DA yesterday. :)

Welcome to your new home :wave: :group_hug:
Thank you for creating this thread.

Kate looks like she had a blast with them all in those pictures. :)

I don't know how much I'll be here, since I'm so depressed about the show right now, but I want to thank you, Lindsay for opening the thread anyway.

And for your marvellous work on the old board!

I think, since it is the hiatus and spoilers are not allowed here, maybe it is also a good place to combine all threads of the old board, for example the actor's threads?

And maybe we can talk about the old seasons, when the show was still good and not unwatchable.

We understand :back_hug:
I think we can make this thread work with what we have right now, and you can still chat about the show, and your favorite episodes. The actors and actresses. I doubt combining them could happen :( but you are more than welcome to go crazy on this board to an extent ;)
I really do hope you stick around and hope that you feel better about this soon :flowers:

Thanks Vicki. I feel like I'm back in 2003 though when I used to mod this board (and the first board I moderated here). It's been a loooong time. :lol: And I might just pop in some of the threads here as I watch a lot of TV. :lol:

Ray, I've added you. :wave:

Andorra, we can talk about everything else on this thread except for spoilers. If we're bringing over spoilers, please tag them here. We can't speculate though. And yes, past seasons we can definitely talk about here especially during this hiatus. :nod:

^ Aww, bet it brings back pleasant memories for you then :) and you're welcome! Great to have you here with us :hug:

Downton Abbey is a dream job.
"Downton was a mad experience. I loved the show, and I've always wanted to do period drama. Honestly, the cast gets along really well and we all know each other. We're all really close. Michelle [Dockery] and Laura [Carmichael] just texted me on Sunday and were like, 'We see you and you're a princess!' They're so sweet, so I'm really looking forward to going back."

OK, I'm back from Cinderella. The cinema was packed and it was a very sweet movie. Very nice costumes and scenery and a very handsome prince. Even my daughter whispered "he has nice blue eyes", LOL. :D (never heard her talk about the looks ofa boy before!)

Lily looked beautiful and has the same enthusiasm and optimism we know from her as Rose. Sophie was marvellous as Drysella. I actually liked her best in the movie!

The movie also told me though: I'm too old for Disney movies. Has "Cinderella" always been such a corny story? :sigh:
