As a young woman she nearly ran away with a Russian prince and later had a dalliance with the aforementioned Frenchman.
It turns out that Violet Crawley, despite her conservative views and preoccupation with maintaining old-world values at Downton, had quite a wild youth. She shows the family letters between the two love birds to prove that nothing physical ever happened. Robert thinks that he may be the illegitimate son of the mysterious Frenchman who left his mother the villa, but Violet dispels that notion from her deathbed. Cora believes she has cancer but learns by the end of the film that she is just sick with anemia. Two of the film’s biggest dramatic turns end up being fake-outs. And while the two strangely never share an intimate moment in the film, towards the end of the movie, Guy invites Thomas to travel with him as a romantic partner in the guise of a “dresser.” Thomas accepts.

Elsewhere, movie star Guy Dexter (Dominic West) takes a shine to Downton butler Thomas Barrow (Robert James-Collier). The film’s director (Hugh Dancey) falls in love with Mary because every handsome man falls in love with Mary, but she rejects his flirtations because she’s still married to an irksomely absent Henry Talbot (Matthew Goode, who did not return for the film). The film crew at Downton has to pivot from a silent film to a talkie, and Lady Mary lends her voice to the movie.
By the end of the movie, the two have a baby. Tom marries Lucy (Tuppence Middleton), the secret daughter of a cousin named Maude Bagshaw (Imelda Staunton). The rest of the film is occupied by a few minor plots involving the many, many characters that have come to define Downton Abbey. Though Robert and Cora worry that the dowager countess may die while they’re traveling, Mary says she plans to write immediately with any news. Meanwhile, Lady Mary and the dowager countess host a film crew making a Hollywood feature at Downton. Violet is too fragile to travel, so half the family-Robert (Hugh Bonneville), Cora (Elizabeth McGovern), Edith (Laura Carmichael), Tom (Alan Leech), and a few others-decide to visit the mysterious man’s widow and son in France. Unlike her cousins, Sybbie stands to inherit no house upon her father’s death. (It wouldn’t be Downton Abbey without someone contesting an inheritance.) Still, Violet would like to keep the villa and gift it to Sybbie, the child of Tom Branson and the now-dead Sybil Crawley. Early in the film, Violet finds out that she inherited a villa in the South of France from an old paramour, but the man’s widow is contesting the inheritance. Throughout A New Era, characters repeatedly discuss the imminent demise of the dowager countess. But as the film reveals, her days are numbered. Luckily for fans, Violet does appear in Downton Abbey: A New Era. Perhaps Fellowes was hedging his bets in case Smith did not agree to return for the sequel. It was an odd conversation to write into the end of the film: The dowager does not pass away or even look ill in the movie. “It won’t be too quick, but of course, you can never get a London doctor to be precise.” And I may not have long to live,” she tells her granddaughter Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) in the first film. “I had some medical tests a few weeks ago, and I went up to London to hear the results.

You left me broken, soulless No more wholeness You cannot handle My emotional baggage If everything seems black and bleak (It still hurts) Unremember Me (It still hurts) I’m fine just leave me alone.Fellowes heavily intimated that Smith might depart the series when he inserted a storyline in the first Downton Abbey movie, released in 2019, in which Violet receives some bad news from a doctor.
