Do you think everyone will get a happy ending? Will Julian Fellowes listen to the fans? Oh the waiting game…
The Happy Endings Fans Deserve in Downton Abbey Season 6!
By Peter Flynn
When a show unexpectedly captures the public imagination, people naturally assume that there is some big plan in place. This can often be a little intimidating for creators. Co-creator of Downton Abbey, Julian Fellows, is no stranger to this problem. Right from the beginning, fans were asking Fellows how the series will end, as if the conclusion was the entire point of the show. Fellows of course answered cluelessly, but with Downton Abbey Season 6 coming soon, the ending is almost certainly set in stone.
What with having that perfect soap formula of crazy spontaneous drama coinciding with a reserved status quo, Downton Abbey could theoretically go on forever. ITV could even approach some strange warped model where the 20s never ended. Alas Downton Abbey bows out with Season 6, the finale of which will be a Christmas special at the end of 2015. I’m not sure how I feel about the entire show ending with a christmas episode, for those often feel like one-off novelty stories, though I trust the show runners to cap off the series appropriately, jingle bells or no.
With the end fast approaching, what are the happiest ways Downton Abbey Season 6 could end, and please the long time fans?
