re: Official Downton Abbey Season 3 Discussion

ideally, he wouldve been called to india because one of the other "heirs" may have popped back up and he wouldve had to spend a lot of time there.

He wouldve cleared up the heir situation in that the person india was an impostor and the money was indeed matthew's, and then if the actor decided no matter what he wasnt coming back, matthew dies of some disease or elephant stomping in india, if the actor decides "you know what, i made a stupid decision," he comes back for season 5.

That would work and keep some kind of continuity going, instead of this totally contrived and flimsy fatal traffic accident. I would expect that kind of play writing from a middle schooler.
