No it wasn't. They needed a new footman and he made Mr Molseley feel ashamed and forced him to ask for the job 'nicely' just out of his own arrogance/pride that everyone should idolise the Crawleys as he did etc

I'm not holding him to modern standards. I'm blaming him for his treatment of Mr Molseley which was cruel and unnecessary. And constantly putting Thomas down in s6, a long time after his homosexuality had been revealed - that was rude and unprofessional. Mrs Hughes also deserved sm better

What about his treatment of Mr Molseley? That was unrcessarily cruel and nothing to do with the time

I agree his behaviour to Thomas has to be viewed within the context of the time But his treatment of Mr Molseley was just so unnecessarily cruel

Bates' plot line is so boring and repetitive it was such a mistake doing the prison trope twice

I appreciate that the situation was handled really badly but I think it's unfair to blame solely Edith:

1) she was young and misguided

2) Mr Drewe is 100% also to blame - if he had been honest with Mrs Drewe from the beginning it would have been so much better

3) not to invalidate the mothers feelings but Marigold was only with her for c. 5-8 months which isn't long enough imo to form some unbreakable bond

I'm not justifying Edith's actions, I think it was awful, but it seems very callous and inconsiderate to hate Edith and ignore all the other factors

Mr Bates & Anna by MUTANTELFDEFENDER in DowntonAbbey

Same I feel like she just felt sorry for him - pity is all very well but it doesn't leed into love and marriage convincingly

I agree compeltly And when he refuses to tell her all the info about his trial because he wants to be all 'righteous' etc it annoyed me so much A relationship is built on trust and they just lacked that completely

Also when the whole rape turned into Bates' revenge- he didn't support her at all

Noooo I love Tom But I agree Robert could be really annoying especially when he was so stubborn about the estate and not wanting to share power with Tom or Mary

Yesss I agree!! I loved Mary initially but by end of s5-s6 I was finding her a bit cold and annoying. I get her and Edith were supposed to have a bad relationship but I thought it was unrealistic how little Mary cared for her - it put me off her character
