'Downton Abbey' will be returning soon for Season Three (Okay, okay - January) and the big
excitement is the arrival of Shirley MacLaine as Countess Grantham's American
mother. She'll be coming over from America within the show, and it looks like
someone from the Crawley family moved to the United States.
In an episode of 'Longmire', a man named Ed Crawley was mauled to death by
a bear, a premeditated attack engineered by one of Crawley's enemies.
It could be that Crawley was descended from Patrick Crawley, who once was
the heir to the Grantham title. But he was presumed to have died on board the
Titanic. A man claiming to be Patrick Crawley showed up among the horribly
disfigured patients when Downton Abbey was used as a recuperating hospital
during World War One. He claimed to have survived the Titanic and ended up in
Canada with amnesia. (It was never conclusively determined if this patient was
really Patrick Crawley or not.)
Maybe he fathered a son before he shipped off to war. Maybe that son
journeyed west once he fond out his "real" last name and settled in
Wyoming.
BCnU!
