  • Tragedy strikes for Carson during dinner service, as he is put under a lot of pressure to maintain the high standards of the house.
    Clip From: Series 2 Episode 2: It is April 1917 and, with most of the men away at the front, Carson is finding it tough maintaining standards in the house. Robert's new valet Henry Lang has just returned from the war, but O'Brien is the only one to notice that he is not well. The suicide of a young officer prompts Isobel to suggest that they convert Downton into a convalescent hospital. Also, Mary hears that Matthew is returning.

    The way I see it, Edith’s behavior in this scene was meant to contrast with her caring for William three episodes later. These moments were meant to show her growth from caring mostly about unimportant stuff to caring for what really matters.

      I think Edith’s exclamation was more because she was portrayed as a coddled middle child of an Earl. Her character quickly became integral to the caring of the injured officers as the house was turned into a convalescent home. The series may have received clap-back for the insensitive comment the character made and the writers worked quickly to change it.

      When O'Brien spoke about her brother, her favorite brother dealing with Shell Shock (PTSD) and succumbing to the ravages of war it was tender, heartbreaking and displayed a softer side to the O'Brien than we previously thought impossible. It brought home the overall storyline of WW1.

      Agree this was the only person she ever showed any sympathy. But O’Brien was the worst, way worse than Thomas. At least Thomas got his Comeuppance. O’Brien never faced any repercussion for the bad things she did. She got away with everything. I blame Cora for this. They all knew that O’Brien wasn’t nice and yet kept her around. Cora should’ve gotten rid of her when she tried to paint the cooking staff in a bad light for feeding injured veterans.

Also he did have a few good moments on the show, like when he saved Edith, got into a fight for Jimmy, or being friendly with the kids. He became kinder when he felt a bit happier.

      Violet had little regard or feelings toward any servants. In fact, she considered her ladie's maids leaving her due to marriage or pregnancy as their being "selfish" by not considering how that would affect her. So, yeah, Carson potentially fatal collapse would only extract a yawn from her.
