Viewers around the world have become addicted to the aristocratic lives of the Crawley family and their servants as they lived fascinating lives in the early 20th century. Throughout the seasons, the cast goes through scandals, historical shifts, tragedies, and romances. Here are our favorite couples on the show, from worst to best.
Robert and Jane
These two adulterers had a top-secret romance. The maid and the Earl of Grantham were notorious for their class-defying affair, but we couldn’t get on board with Robert cheating on his wife. What makes it even worse is that his wife is sick with the Spanish flu as these two are getting it on!
Daisy and William
Scullery maid Daisy and footman William had cute moments, but it wasn’t enjoyable to see how the relationship was forced on Daisy. William was obsessed with her from the start, but Daisy was always hesitant, and she was guilt-tripped by Mrs. Patmore to marry him with the logic that it would be wrong to turn down a dying man.
Edith and Anthony
Throughout the many seasons of “Downton Abbey,” Lady Edith experienced a lot of growth. Her character was jealous and spiteful, with many failed romance attempts, including getting engaged to the much older Anthony Strallan. But on the wedding day, Anthony leaves Edith at the altar to stop her from throwing away her life, but the whole ordeal is tragic and humiliating!
Daisy and Andy
These two were initially pushed into a relationship, but it was filled with passion. At the end of the “Downton Abbey” movie, he breaks a pump out of jealousy after seeing Daisy make flirty eye contact with a plumber. She’s impressed rather than freaked out by this act, showing that they’re similar, but we believe in communicating your feelings rather than violence and vandalism!
