[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don't flame as this could be part of the plot.  Cora's maiden name was Levinson, often a Jewish name.  Even though she and the daughters now seem to be Church of England, wouldn't she and the daughters be ethnically Jewish?   My fear is that Edith's publisher and future citizen of Germany will be caught up in Nazism and dump Edith if they do marry.  Not trying to spot the plot, but there is something off about the publisher

Julian Fellowes has said he doesn't want the show to go much into the 30s primarily because he doesn't want to have to deal with the advent of nazism and the English upperclass fascination with it. Makes sense to me. It would be extremely bad for the show if Lord G had nazi sympathizers to the house. But to make them all aghast would be historically inaccurate.[/quote]

Yes I heard that same interview, but the actors have signed 3 year deals.  Are they going to languish in depression era England?  You know Lord Grantham will try to lose the Abbey again in bad investments.  That's been done 3 times. I think it would be great to show England's fascination with Nazism because it is one of those little acknowledged history notes[/quote]
