I was really taken aback at Edith and Mary's relationship. These two sisters effectively ruined each others' lives. I guess I'm naive because I don't have a sister, but some of the things they did were really beyond belief.

Yes, what ever happened with that? I loved that series.

The next series is supposed to air in the UK this fall, followed by a Christmas special. I can't wait. I was surprised how many plotlines (um, all of them?) were left up in the air.

I finally saw the last installment (had taped it to watch later) ...

Did anyone else also notice the uncanny resemblance by the actress playing the mother of Mr. Bates and the actor for Mr. Bates himself? When DH and I saw her face, we instantly recognized the actor (wider set eyes, broader face, the forehead, the chin) ... Wow, excellent choice in casting.
