Downton Abbey

Will be interesting to see how the story develops without THE main character.

I was under the impression that Maggie will be returning. I don't know how or if this is possible, but they said the entire cast is returning.

[happyheini]

Yes, Maggie Smith is returning. I read somewhere that they took special precautions due to her age and surely fragility in times of Covid 19.

Well, good. I know originally Elizabeth McGovern (Cora) said she didn't want to continue but I guess her mind was changed as well!

It's kind of interesting with Sanditon that they are now talking about a 2nd and 3rd season after saying only one season. It's unfortunate Theo James is not coming back, but I was not a fan of his character. Well, we know he can't come back in DTA!

Good thinking, Kitty

I just see now that the sequel movie has been postponed until March of 2022. That's understandable with all the world's challenges at the moment. I guess my DTA decorations will come out AFTER Christmas this time, lol. However, as I decorate all year, it doesn't matter in the slightest, haha.

I'm hoping I don't have to have my Downton Abbey party on Zoom. I hope the movie will be good.

I saw the preview when I went to see another movie at the theatre last weekend. I'm glad Violet is still in it. It opens on May 20th. It seems the date was changed again.

I may miss the first two episodes of Sanditon Season 2 because I'm visiting my Dad. It's hard to get PBS online in Canada and it's not part of the cable On DEMAND program. I can get most things online or through OD, which is why I've put off getting a PVR.

I went to see the new movie on Sunday and really enjoyed it. I hope to go another time! Is anyone else going to see it as well?

[happyheini]

I plan to see it sometime next week, and hear it is very good.
