"Downton Abbey - A New Era" Interview with Allen Leech: "Tom Branson" 

why i relate to tom: totally romantic he knows who he loves is willing to risk it all to declare his love, holds hope his love will be returned, but doesn't sacrifice who he is to win his love 2. exiled from his country for his politics 3. loyal AF 4 changes his mind with new information

Read the first two comments! 🤭👍🏼 Was thinking how weird that Tom Branson seems to have it hard for the Crawley gals: first Sybil and then Lucy Smith (who's biological mother was Maud Crawley). Matthew Crawley wed Mary Crawley but Tom did score on two Crawleys in a row! Not sure why Lucy's and Tom's wedding was in an Anglican church, unless Fellowes kept the tradition of the wedding at the Bride's church.

i would have liked to have seen tom and sybil's life in dublin...no no..i would have liked to see tom and sybbie in boston...no no...and now i get gypt out of seeing tom and lucy courting and getting engaged...i am glad for the character getting a happy ending (she said happy ending!) but four minutes of screen time and BAM they're married! lol...my version had tom living happily ever after with sybbie's nanny/governess...she was always off camera during the series, but he was always talking about her in the show (*nanny's getting laundry...nanny's getting lunch ready, nanny always just left to do something! and they had more than one!)...i imagine a pretty young night nanny.. late night talks in the nursery, day trips to the lake with the kids...so obvious! , why not have made that nanny the illegitimate daughter? anyway,, allen leech could read his grocery list and i would love it...helps me sleep with my tinitus i got in the war
