New Downton Abbey star Matt Milne has promised that his character will not have a smooth ride across the rest of the series, teasing that "torment" lies ahead for Alfred the footman. Milne's character has become a central love interest in the show, attracting attention and a kiss from lady's maid Miss Reid (Lucille Sharp). Sophie McShera's Daisy Robinson also has a crush on the new arrival, but has yet to reveal her feelings to the latest staff member downstairs. "Alfred's got a tormented time ahead. It's going to be good fun," Milne told Digital Spy. "Edward Speleers's new character Jimmy Kent comes in next week and he's going to add a whole new dynamic downstairs. So there's lots of fun in store." Speaking about arriving on set for the first time, Milne said: "I think it says a lot (more)...

Yes, Downton Abbey! The best show on television is marching toward its third season and we have some promo images to keep people going until it arrives! A bit of everything here, though Lord Grantham, Lady Cora, and my girl Sybil are absent, including another look at perhaps the biggest name coming to Downton next season, Shirley MacLaine. You see her, playing Cora’s mother, paired with the glorious Maggie Smith’s Dowager Countess, adding to the two video teasers we got of the two of them trading barbs from last week. Speaking of pairings, we also have a close shot of Matthew and Mary, Bates serving his prison time, Carlson keeping it classy, cooks deux, O’Brien giving a patent ugly look, and Edith (who always forces me to be against her for hating on Mary) with man!
Still more to come and see next season, including the introductions...

It seems like ages since we’ve had a fix of the class-driven period juggernaut that is Downton Abbey, but not to fear, season three is set to grace our televisions on January 6, 2013. I know, I know, that’s four months after the Brits get it, but after all, they’re the ones who came up with the addictive drama, so they should reap the benefits.
ITV has started its promotion of the third season by releasing two teaser trailers that give us a brief taste of what’s to come. Without a doubt, what has most fans salivating is the promise of a grudge match for the ages between the Dowager Countess (Dame Maggie Smith) and Cora’s American mother (Shirley Maclaine). Of course there’s more going on than just that, but everything else is just a cherry on top of the sundae of awesome.

Lord Grantham keeps it eclectic in the Abbey and the latest additions to the servant staff at Downton Abbey stays true to that theme. While most of the talk between Downton seasons involving new characters for season 3 has revolved around Shirley MacLaine’s entry as the american step mom, we now have to more new face to announce in MyAnna Buring and Simone Lahbib.
Both Buring and Lahbib are set to start their service during the holiday, making their debuts during a Downton Abbey Christmas special. MyAnna, who is fine as hell, plays a vampire of the Denali Coven in Twilight Breaking Dawn and one of the stars of the great horror film The Descent, will assume the role of Edna, who is described as “forward thinking”. Lahbib, whom English viewers will recognize from Wire in the Blood and Bad Girls, takes on the role of Lady’s maid Wilkins.

There’ll be a host of fresh faces at Downton Abbey when the show comes back to the UK’s ITV later this year. Details are slight for the moment, but I’ve confirmed Ed Speleers has joined the cast as new footman Jimmy. Speleers, known for 2006′s dragon adventure Eragon, will next be seen with Timothy Spall and Jessica Szohr in the horror comedy Love Bite. Other recent staffers to join the Grantham estate include War Horse‘s Matt Milne as Alfred, a footman who’s also the nephew of is-she-or-isn’t-she-evil lady’s maid O’Brien. Newcomers Cara Theobold and Lucille Sharp are also on board as maids. In January, Shirley MacLaine signed on to play mother to Elizabeth McGovern’s Cora Grantham — and a foil for Maggie Smith’s irrepressible Dowager Countess. Regarding the contract status of Smith and Dan Stevens (who plays Matthew Crawley on the...
