And in just a few short years, Tom becomes vital to the family. Even Robert thinks of him as a son. Sybil was not only kind & humble, but wise beyond her years. She loved him for who he was, but knew he was meant to be more.

she doesn't "side" with Sybil, she just wants to hear her out

Sybil's death was heartbreaking. One of several very startling twists in the series.

I love granny, she is one of the best in Downtown Abbey ❤

Maggie Smith is golden! Her sarcasm is on point.

Sybil was the most humane and likeable character in this family. Her loss was devastating.

Cora was always so subtle. Where I might yell in anger she would lower her voice and hiss her words. Here she conveys at least the same amount of shock and anger as Robert but instead of pacing around the room she opens her wides wide, then raises her eyebrows. Such a LADY!

"To live with him... Unmarried?!?"

Dame Maggie Smith does as she does SHE ROCKED HER PART

[m.layfette]

"So at least we have something in common."

The development of them going from this to their love and respect for Tom and his for them is one of the best things about this show I think.

Sybil is and will always be the greatest character in the Downton series & movies. The Dowager Countess is in a league all her own.

I cried when Sybil died. I loved her so much. She was the sweetest most loving character.

Branson‘s character arc was one of the best I’ve ever seen in any show.He ended up being such an invaluable member of the family.

Maggie Smith was casred perfectly for this role. She is a phenomenal actress. More from the old school as well. Fellows did a great job with the casting as well. I was drawn into all of them. I love history as well. 😊 Thank you ❤

[jessicabrewer]

Sybil is BEYOND gorgeous 😍. Even the way she speaks is stunning ♥️😊

[soulstrength]

Elizabeth McGovern should get more work...although she never has to work again! 😅 I knew exactly what clip this was just by her expression on the thumbnail. Her eyes tell the whole story...very expressive.
