It's amazing that after Thomas repeatedly threatens and scares Baxter she still tries so hard to show him she cares and wants to be fond of him. She really is a sweetheart on par with Anna, Bates, Molesly and Sybil

On par with Anna, Sybil and I would say also Mathew, Lavinia and Isobel. Bates was a much more moraly grey person, able to get extremely nasty, even though he was very loyal and kind to the people he cared about. Molesly let people walk over himself too much.

@@milie2422 Let's explore that, shall we? One instance that comes to mind for me, of a moment when Carson is being very sweet, is after Lady Mary's husband dies and she comes to his office to apologize to him. She is weeping and he comes and holds her and lets her cry it out. I think this is the first moment that Lady Mary really let herself FEEL and admit to herself that grief and loss of Matthew's death. In that moment, it became real for her, that Matthew had died, and Carson was there to comfort her. I thought that was very kind of him. Another moment is when Carson courts and proposes to Mrs. Hughes. He is very sweet with her.

I always felt sorry for Baxter as she has always been a good person. I think she stole the jewels from her previous employer not because she was nasty and an opportunist but she must have sold the jewels to pay for something or help someone as servants pay was pretty bad. Maybe she had family ill and hungry. Many crime records of people back then were of stealing as people were starving and often food to survive, penalties were harsh back then even for the most minor of crimes.
@BlancheNeigefan4 жыл бұрын
She did it because she fell in love with another servant who tricked her and made her believe it was the only way for them to have a chance to get married, start a family and begin a life together. When she realized she had been tricked, she confessed to it because she felt ashamed and refused to denounce him because she thought she was responsible for letting herself be manipulated into commiting a crime.

@@BlancheNeigefan You are right, but I find it interesting that Cora immediately assumes that Baxter stole from her former employer because she had been mean to her.

I always find it infuriating that Cora always put her trust in O'Brien, Edna, and Thomas but found it hard to trust Baxter. Cora never seemed to have a good judge of character. She even did it with her own children. Was she that naive and ignorant? Or just blind to the tension some of them carried with them? Cora was a character I least found interesting. And might I mention, I disdained the way Cora treated Isobel. She always treated her as a burden. Meanwhile Cora gave complete loyalty to O'Brien, even though O'Brien set her up to loose her baby who would have been an heir. Baxter was a much kinder lady's maid.

Because he is arguably the most complex character in the series. He puts on a front of nastiness and cold-heartedness to protect himself from his own vulnerability. He is loyal to the people he cares about (Jimmy, Baxter when they became friends, the Downton kids). He struggles to fit in, and a lot of people, myself included, relate to that.
@r68544 жыл бұрын
I think it has more to do with just how superb the actor is. He can make you hate his character, pity his character and sometimes cheer for him, like when he rescued Lady Edith from a fire without hesitation or when he was looking out for Sybil's baby daughter from the nanny. I think he was one of the most fleshed out characters.

Thomas was one Downton character that I just didn't like... And for the record, it has nothing to do with his being gay and everything to do with his conduct. The man was so scheming and deceptive that he couldn't ask for water if he was thirsty. I've watched the entire series and the movie and I never saw him do a single thing [up to and including having his dinner and going to bed at night] that he didn't try to manipulate to his advantage. The character is reprehensible man of low character who simply knows how to keep up an image. Definitely a blind spot in the Crawley family's generally good ability to spot those who wish them ill.
