I’ve lived in such a fog of misery since I left you, I think I’d forgotten what happiness is.

Richard: Once and for all, are you still in love with Matthew Crawley?
Mary: Of course not. Would I ever admit to loving a man who preferred someone else over me?
Maggie Smith’s acid-tongued Countess will no doubt have something delightfully bitchy to say about this: Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine is joining the cast of Downton Abbey as the mother of Elizabeth McGovern’s American-born Lady Grantham.
What the what!?! :)
wow this would be delicious!

Mary: Suppose he doesn’t want her back? Have you thought of that?
Richard: He needs someone to look after him.
Mary: Yes, but—
Richard: And you’ll be too busy with our new life, won’t you?
Mary: Look, I know you’re used to having your own way—
Richard: Yes, I am. And I’ll say something now I hope I won’t have to repeat. If you think you can jilt me, or in some way set me aside, I’ll tell you now: you have given me the power to destroy you, and don’t think I won’t use it. I want to be a good husband and I want for you to be happy. But don’t ever cross me. Do you understand? Never. Absolutely never.
- Downton Abbey, series 2, episode 6
“I think during the course of the series he has fallen in love with her a little.
[…]
In Richard’s defence he made his position very clear. He didn’t say I’m madly in love with you. He said I think we could be a good match, we would pair off well together and do good things. But it was from a very honest standpoint. While during the course of the series, Mary has given him a fair amount of the run around. If anyone has been in a position where they love somebody who is not reciprocating, or emotionally or physically misbehaving, it doesn’t bring out the best in you.”
[…]
No one is entirely black or white in Downton. I don’t judge him too strongly. I think he is in a very alien world and tries to make sense of it for himself and he uses means that objectively aren’t too appealing. He is a newspaper man and it is in his blood. The way he discovers stories and the way he operates as a businessman overflows into his emotional life as well
