It would fit that Branson be the one to die. Sybil will come home to the Abbey with the baby.I dread the thought of losing Lady Violet. She is so grand and so very droll. I wait for her every word. She amuses me greatly. Cannot wait for season 3. This show is masterful.

I seriously caonnt wait for season 3! I had that "oh no what am I going to do on Sunday nights now" moment last week but I agree that the finale didn't disappoint. I just hope they don't bring back any of that story line with Lord Grantham and the maid again. Ugh! I'm relying on you Ann to give me a heads up when you hear about when season 3 will start! :-)Vanessa

I don't want anyone to die though it is kind of inevitable that someone will I don't want it to be Branson though he wouldn't be in it much anyway I don't think. Oh well I guess we will have to wait and see!

Branson spoke of the Irish having their moment after WW1 ended. Well they did. from 1919 to 1921 they had the War of Independence and the bottom half became a free state in 1922. I'll bet Branson dies in that, which brings back Sybil and the baby. That or perhaps he is wounded or something and someone else dies. All I know is they just have to let the valet out of jail. I hope Maggie Smith stays on the show, but I wouldn't be surprised if they killed off her character. She is very old and it would be in keeping with the tragedies they've had so far. I'm glad Shirley MacLaine is coming on board. They need a new light to brighten things up. Soooo many Mother-in-laws though!
I begin to wonder if the middle sister will marry as Sybil has. "Beneath her" so to speak.

"In closing Eaton promises a wedding between Matthew and Lady Mary, leading many to wonder if the aforementioned baby scoop is related."
Many? Who are these "many" stupid people?! We already know SYBIL is pregnant!
I agree with Phil "DUH"!! ... Or, maybe I speak to hastily. Downton has know to skip ahead rather quickly. Maybe Sybil's baby is already born at the opening of series 3?
That leaves me to my next thought. How old is Lady Violet by now anyway? I thought for sure she was old as dirt at the start of series 1 (1911!) I thought Sybil was already 18 and Mary in her early 20's ... but I was wrong. Sybil's recent age reveal at end of series 2 puts her around 14 in 1911. (SO CONFUSING!) But Lady Violet is STILL OLD!! How much longer can she live???
It is very possible she dies ... or she should. I LOVE her (!!!) but how realistic will it be to keep her around another 20 years? Even 10 years is pushing it.

Marriage: Duh. We've already seen the spoiler pics of Mary/Matt wedding.
Birth: Double Duh. Obviously Sybil's baby.
Death: I go with Branson, probably thereby bringing Sybil and the baby back to Downton. Note the spoiler says a "pretty" major character. Also, the Branson actor said something to the effect that everything you'd want for your character and everything you would not want happens to him in series 3. Branson, we hardly knew ye.
Deathwatch runner up is Sybil herself. Brings tearful drama and angst(who doesn't love sweet and lovely Lady Sybil?) and a fight over the Fenian grandchild. Plus we know Brown Findlay has not resigned for subsequent seasons and appears on her way to a possibly big movie career. Got rave reviews in the indie Albatross and recently snagged a major role in Winter's Tale.
Deathwatch darkhorse is the Grande Dame, who also is not resigned. And is now probably pissed off to be dissed as difficult. But no way is she a "pretty" major character. She

I have a feeling that it will by Sybil's child but I also think that they may have Sybil die during child birth, leaving the child to be raised by Lord and Lady Grantham. Sybil was absent from the Christmas Special and by having her leave for Ireland, it's as if she's no longer there anyway. I think they would kill Sybil for effect without having to affect any of the more permanent household.

I am pretty sure the birth will be Sybill's and Branson's baby. I am very curious about the death though!
