Last season of the hit show ended
with Matthew Crawley dying in a car crash
· Fictional newborn was named George- apparently after
King George V- when filming started months ago
Just as one aristocratic
baby George arrives, along comes another.
In the latest preview
shots from hit costume drama Downton Abbey, Lady Mary Crawley proudly clutches
her newborn son.
The last time fans of
the show saw her during last year’s Christmas special, the character – played
by Michelle Dockery - had just given birth and the youngster had yet to
be named.
The series ended with
her husband Matthew dying in a car crash, leaving the newborn fatherless.
As filming on the new
series started months ago, ITV clearly named the fictional baby George first -
apparently after King George V.
The photo will also set
off wild speculation of a new romance among Downton Abbey’s many fans.
Posing with his daughter Sybil, Lady Mary’s brother-in-law Tom Branson – played
by Allen Leech - also lost his spouse in the last series.
His wife – also called
Sybil – died during childbirth.
Now two of the show’s
key protagonists have been left as bereaved parents, it seems they may be on
the cusp of forming a new relationship.
