For those of you were distracted by some football game, here’s what you missed on “Downton Abbey.”
War is over! It’s November 1918 and World War I has come to a close, but not without taking its toll on the residents of Downton Abbey both above and below stairs.
But first, remember the very first episode, when the heir apparent, Patrick Crawley, was killed on the Titanic? Now six years later, a wounded Canadian offer,...

There were no punches pulled on "this week's episode" of Downton Abbey. In the last 20 minutes especially, every hit landed right where it was aimed and could very easily lead to one heck of a follow up next week.
A man named Patrick Gordon
Here's a mystery that may never be solved. The story kind of reminded me of the other great mystery of the time, that of Princess Anastasia Nikolaevna and her possible return to the Russian family. Patrick, burned beyond recognition and speaking with a Canadian accent, claimed to be Mary's Patrick, who died in the waters after the Titanic sunk.
While it would have made a lovely story, I didn't believe it. Poor Edith was the sister who was in love with the original Patrick, and she easily allowed herself to believe Patrick Gordon's story of amnesia and unrequited love. Before the full story could be uncovered,...

Is this the soapiest "Downton Abbey" has gotten so far? What's next, an evil twin?
Upstairs
The big story this week is that a badly-burned officer going by the name Patrick Gordon is claiming to be Patrick Crawley. His story is that he was rescued from the waters after the Titanic sank and was taken to Canada, but didn't remember who he was until an explosion during the war. He woke up and remembered he was Patrick Crawley.
Naturally, Lady Edith believes him (because she really wants to) and Lady Mary says no way. Robert is suspicious and has his lawyer look into it. It is discovered that a friend of Patrick's named Peter Gordon emigrated to Canada and could be faking it now that he's disfigured from the burns. But before any decisions can be made, Patrick/Peter leaves Downton. Lady Edith is heartbroken.
Here's how we feel about...

Falklands veteran Simon Weston has been appointed as an advisor on 'Downton Abbey'. The 50-year-old former Welsh Guardsman - who suffered severe burns in 1982 - was called upon by producers for the ITV period drama to give actor Trevor White, who will play soldier Patrick Gordon, advice about facial disfigurement. Simon said: "We got on incredibly well. He wanted to know some things about disfigurement and what it should look like. I told him about different sores and how it can be around the edges of a skin graft. "There is always scarring that does not heal and to make...
