A bit of Henry fluff to come to his defense and counter all the negativity (all the Henry haters are out in force on Social Media, Twitter especially, and, believe me, they are not a nice lot).

Swoony, charming, kind-hearted Henry. He is a good'un. How can anyone hate him is beyond me. I have reached the point that if Matthew cannot have a meaningful, interesting part in DA commensurate with his immense talent, I would rather he is not in it.

He will continue to surprise us no doubt. I love his choices of the last few years - Adow, The Offer, Freud's Last Session, Abigail, Department Q, Tally Ho. Bold, versatile and endlessly praised for his performances.

"His ⭐️ is rising" indeed. You go Goodey, we are all behind you whatever you decide to do! You are going places and we are going with you 🩷

I thought this moment needed a Black and White treatment. So swooney 🤍🖤🩶. I love how Henry holds Mary's hand and steals a public kiss before the race at Brookland.

Onelast one for the road.

Lovely in lilac

I loved the idea of Wear Purple for Peace Day (as celebrated in @asgoodeasgold post today) so I dug these out of the draft file.

Really?

Well, if this is true, we know that Matthew Goode is busy filming [Department Q for Netflix] soooo guessing Julian Fellowes will have to be creative to solve the 'Henry' question. So what will they do? OMG not another motor show 🤦 Sorry guys, but being realistic they will probably have to divorce him from Mary or bump him off somehow coz Matthew is just never available. Guess we have to wait and see.

"It's quite exciting, it's sort of school boy stuff."

The interview where Goodey talks about classic cars, mimes a modern car's turning circle just in case we didn't know what that was like 🤣 and is generally his usual endearing and excitable self.

And a goode swagger thrown in for good measure, you are welcome.

Matthew managing to look dashing wearing dirty white overalls, oversize goggles and a tea cosy on his head. He is one in a million.

'Henry' - contemplating whether he will finish filming in Edinburgh in time to appear in the third Downton movie or if he will have to take care of more -

“Various car things....” 🤦🏻‍♂️

The Pipe Dream of a Mary Crawley Divorce

I've seen several posts here and on Reddit recently about speculation that Mary and Henry are gonna get a divorce in the next installment of "Downton Abbey".

And, you know, let me get at the head of that line.

But I just don't think it will ever happen.

I'm not sure if anyone remembers or knows about the behind the scenes drama of the "Matthew Goode Incident" but I'm pretty sure that it is a hill that Michelle Dockery will die on and that Fellowes will make sure she dies on.

Basically, cliff notes ...

Dockery got to know Matthew Goode during the shooting of a movie in which she had a bit part as Ryan Reynold's daughter - it's a long story. And later, Allen Leech got really tight with Matthew Goode on "The Imitation Game" and the three started hanging out together a lot.

It was then that someone - I think it was Dockery - got the galaxy brain idea to offer Matthew Goode a job on Downton Abbey, sight unseen ... and without permission or authority to do so. As a favor they wrote Henry Talbot in as a one-time but future prospect suitor in the - then - series finale.

At the time Dockery was pushing for a husband for Mary to close up "Downton Abbey" and Fellowes said no, that Mary was gonna be single and focused on being a mother to George and run the Estate now that Tom was leaving. They went back and forth about it. At the time Downton Abbey was supposed to end at Season 5 and the Christmas Special was written as a series finale. But then they got picked up for a Season 6 and the entire cast had to sign on.

And - allegedly (an urban legend) - Dockery used her Season 6 contract negotiation to force Matthew Goode on the show permanently as her husband. For, really, no other purpose than so that she, Matthew Goode, and Allen Leech could hang out. This went over like a lead balloon and due to the forced hand, Fellowes did the very bare minimum character work for Henry and basically shoe-horned him in at the last moment.

As it was Henry was hated by the fans and was incredibly disliked by Fellowes. Afterward, basically, the backlash was to Jar Jar Binks levels from the fandom that both Matthew Goode and Julian Fellowes want to memory hole the character at this point. However, out of pettiness, the character of Mary is now settled in a bad marriage with an absentee husband that I doubt Fellowes will ever allow Dockery to escape.

Fellowes basically gave Dockery everything she wanted and then drowning her and her character in it. Just like when Laura Carmichael continued to badger him about Gregson coming back, till he wrote his grizzly murder just to make it clear to Carmichael that it was never going to happen.

If you don't believe me ... Dockery admitted to it in a Season 6 PBS interview that has since been unlisted on youtube to erase evidence of the incident. Also, there is a interview with Matthew Goode during "The Offer" premiere in which someone asked him about appearing in "A New Era" and ... let's just say he was very cordial but not entirely shy about expressing his opinion of Downton Abbey at this point. Also ... you notice how throughout the promotion of both movies you never see Michelle Dockery with Julian Fellowes. Not in interviews nor podcasts, or any of his "Fireside Chats"?

Sadly, Mary will be saddled to Henry Talbot for all time as a long and continuous punishment for the very underhanded and arrogant play that Dockery made to get her way.

I can only say that, as a fellow writer, I can only aspire to the level of pettiness that Fellowes has exhibited to people fucking with his narrative.
