- Mrs Patmore is going to have to deal with new technology in the kitchen, which isn't going to go down well with her.
- Mary will be grieving for Matthew, struggling to deal with baby George and also having to work with Branson to modernise Downton.
- Edna (MyAnna Buring) from the 2012 Christmas special will be returning this series as well. However, it's already been rumoured that Branson's love interest is the new governess.
- We will see Thomas's claws this season as well. I think that means he might actually be a competent villain for once. He'll also be teaming up with Edna as well this series.
- Expect to see a darker side to Bates as well this year.
- Gregson's bohemian lifestyle will be rubbing off on Edith this year as they grow closer to each other.
- More about Carson's past will be revealed this year as well with Mrs Hughes picking up on it.
- From the trailers, it does look like Rose will be getting involved with jazz singer, Jack Ross, doesn't it?
- Paul Giamatti will be playing maverick playboy/Cora's brother, Harold Levinson as well this series.
- Nigel Harmon has also mentioned that his chauffeur, Green is charming to a point.
- Julien Ovenden's modern thinking Blake will annoy Mary while Tom Cullen's Gillingham is an old childhood friend of the widow's.
- Kiri Te Kanawa will be playing opera singer Nellie Melba in an episode.
Overall, sounds like a rather exciting series ahead with most of the characters getting plenty to do. I think the show will survive the absences of Matthew, Sybil and Mrs O'Brien as well.
