Lady Edith so sexy!
Totally in love with her!
Janet! Donkeys!

yes! He should've let Edith and Sir Anthony marry, have a baby son, then let him die from some old war injury. She would've been better off than Mary for a while at least.

Love Lady Edith; so sorry the writer decided to dump on her

Gaaah. As of Season Three, Episode 2, who doesn't want to poison Sir Anthony Strallan?! Edith, dear, pick up the pieces and carry on!

Yes. Absolutely. Her star is absolutely rising.

I didn't like Lady Edith at first but as the series has gone along, I started to think that she was a neat person.
Laura Carmichael gives her role just the right touch and shows how Lady Edith is evolving as a person and is coming into her own.
Great work, Laura!

Same! I prefer her to the other two sisters.
Subtitles misread: 'the Arch bitch of Canterbury'

She's very good, but I cannot stand her character. Too whiney.

She and Michelle are terrific as Edith and Mary! I just adore their scenes! I can't wait to see her in the second season of 'Downton Abbey' and in 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy'!

would agree , it's hard to believe this is her first film role.
playing an unsympathetic character is harder than one everyone loves. you feel her heart ache, but also anger at her actions.
look forward to her continuing as Lady Edith in the future.

Laura is really really good, and looks so familiar I'm shocked this is her first screen role! Remarkable!
Plus she looks so very Victorian that heart-shaped face and all, the slightly receding chin. She could have stepped from the pages of a Dickens novel, etc.
(Yes, I know this is an Edwardian piece so don't ding me.)
.

I just watched the first episode and even though Edith has had little to do I think she's fun and I think that Laura Carmichael will go really far in her career.
