Edith really came into her own when she became a journalist. I love her character development in this series!

The scene where Bertie and Edith stay up all night to finish the magazine was definitely one of my favorite moments from their relationship. They really were made for each other.

[m.layfette]

You left out the scene when she meets Bertie at the bar and he offers to return with her back to the office to make coffee, order sandwiches and carry bits of paper around. All in an effort to just be near her. 💖

"You inspire me."

I love how Bertie doesn't try to hide his affection toward Lady Edith. 💘💘💘💘

[SeanMcGuire]

Genuinely one of my favorite storylines of the series. Once she's fully in control of the publishing, she really does come into her own and really finds her footing in the world!

[elnora]

I love how she also becomes the most stylish character

Seeing Edith in this light always makes me so happy. She’s brilliant when she’s in that studio.

I really admire the tiny moment of depth when they were getting the magazine edited and Edith was uncertain on the pictures to add.
A part of her was still an Earl's daughter- she was stewing over the guests ranks, whom to add and in what order based on social status. Bertie however took one look and understood that the purpose was to entertain and helped her to understand that she had absolute executive control of who made the paper and who didn't based on HER opinions of their fashion and importance.
He didn't take any of her agency, he simply reminded her that she held the keys to the kingdom.
This in turn shows them as a couple in a wonderful light. They weren't shrugging off or ignoring each other's mind- in fact their minds made them the best match

I wish we could've saw Edith and Michael's relationship grow. It was cut so short. But Bertie is so sweet 💕

The Dowager's Butler got wind of Lady Edith as a hapless editor in London. He heard about it, and knew it was his opportunity to get his advice column also into the magazine.

So liked how the Crawley Women found their own establishments..Sybil with her Nursing Career..Mary Running The Crawley Estate for Little George...Edith with the Ownership/ Running of the Women's Magazine Publication as well as his Publishing Business..Cora taking over business affairs with the Downton Hospital..

Edith always really shone and stood out when she found a purpose that suited her. When she learnt how to drive, when she drove the tractor for the Drakes, when she was assisting with the soldiers, becoming a journalist. Definitely one of the better storylines in Downton Abbey

[arthur-destefano]

I absolutely love Edith, she is fantastic. Her character growth is remarkable. I never liked Mary, and when Edith finally put Mary in her place. It was Gold.

[cambrie]

Ah yes, the Jane Eyre Rochester crazy wife triangle. I'm glad Edith persevered through all of that and kept her sanity. Logic and reasoning is her strength.

[migdon]

I Lady edith. Lady Mary just annoyed me. But Edith was so relatable and just imagine being in that office with a Woman Owner, Woman Editor and a woman secretary. Must have been so much fun and a joy.

[Robert]

Putting aside Lady Edith for the moment, I loved the reveal of Sprat at the end as Miss Jones. Simply Bananas!

[jenbryant]

I love Lady Edith and her whole story. But it's funny that she says she finds a married man flirting with her "repugnant", when just a few years earlier, she flirted and kissed the married farmer while she worked with him. Perhaps it shows just how much her character grew and matured. 🙂🌹

[FannyDash]

It`s very sad that who ever put this vid together cut out the Moment when Berti says I can make Coffe and fetch Sandwiches.
I loved that scene so much.
Okay, but in anyway, thank you for upload

The transition after "I'll write a novel" is spot on 2:12 😁
