Default Downton Abbey update- O'Brien gone

"Meanwhile, the producers have confirmed that villainous housemaid Sarah O'Brien won't be back. Siobhan Finneran, who played her, is leaving the show."

As I understand it, actors in England commit to a 3 year contract. Mathew, Sybil and O'Brien actors did not want to sign a new contract or continue. Sybil and Mathew both died in the show. The article did not say how O'Brien is leaving.


Do you think she'll get hers before causing her to leave or that she is just written out? 11 months to find out.

O'Brien is to get a job with the household they were all at recently. remember the party where their maid spiked O'Brien's drink and the man drank it instead. She told the lady of the house and i'm sure she will fire that maid and offer O'Brien a job with them.

Hey, Downton Abbey fans! Can you please wait until the new season, before you spill all the plot twists? At least "spoiler alert" in the title - not just blurting out what happens!

I heard about the show on the quilting board and I have become addicted. Can't wait for the next years twists and turns.

I'll miss O"Brien. Every show needs a villain! Wonder who'll take her place?
