That ungrateful bitch Daisy on Downton Abbey

At least she’s better than my sister, Jan Brady.

Her whining got old.

Yeah, she was crazy. She was a maid, and then got offered a farm and money, just for doing a service to her country, in making a dying soldier's last hours bearable. She should have been jumping for joy because she basically won the fucking lottery.

I always say: Beware the mousy little ones.

William had a pencil dick and dragon breath. So did his father. So FUCK YOU haters.

Mrs. Patmore pressured Daisy into sending William off to war under a false impression (that Daisy would marry him when he returned). When William returned, at death's door, Mrs. Patmore again pressured Daisy into marrying William.

Then, Daisy, being a dumb-ass, felt bad about accepting government money for war widows.

IMO, Julian Fellowes wrote the Daisy character to be a fan favorite and the fans actually hated Daisy. I did like Daisy.

just started watching DA, in season 3 now and Daisy seems bipolar or something

I liked her too. I thought it was weird that Mrs. Pattmore and the housekeeper kept pressuring her to marry William.

The stuff with William wasn't as bad as when she screamed at the new owners of the estate where Mr. Mason had his farm. After that she expected someone to fix her mistake.

Then, she completely misunderstands what Cora says about seeing what she can do and was just about going to scream at her when she's told they'll give Mr. Mason the farm.

She's an ungrateful little minx.

The stuff with William wasn't Daisy's fault. But, yeah, her screaming at the new owners of the estate was ridiculous and unrealistic. Her "personality" became more and more irritating as the seasons progressed.

As annoying as she was, no one could come close to Bates. He sucked and so did Henry Talbot.

Bolshie little cunt. Wish she'd hooked up with that violent grifter Bates and he could have strangled her in that fucking shoe-polishing room where he was always lurking with his weeping wife.

What was wrong with Talbot aside from being an undeveloped character designed solve, in the final episodes, the “problem” of Mary being single?

He's smug and boring, that's what's wrong with him.

FINN POLMAR!

R14. We could go on and on as to why Mary turned down this for anyone.

I 've loved that actor ever since Dancing on the Edge (a great miniseries, everyone should watch). But Mary had a MUCH better connection in the pig pen scene with the guy who played the son on Foyles War. I guess he could foresee the execrable writing on the wall that is Julian Fellowes and bailed before he got sucked in.

Daisy, skivvy in the kitchen when the series started. Learned to read, married briefly, war pension, inherited a farm, became a Cordon Bleu chef or tried to, ended up as a skivvy in the kitchen when the series finished.

^ I mean, Matthew Goode was in Dancing on the Edge.

I agree, R17. There was real chemistry between Mary and Julian "Andrew Foyle" Ovendon. The only love interest she ever had any chemistry with, as far as I was concerned. Dan Stevens is beautiful but his character was bland as Wonder Bread.

Agree that Mary had the most chemistry with the Charles Blake (Julian Ovenden) character, even though he was short-ish in height. Mary also had chemistry with Carlisle, even if it was bad chemistry. She actually didn’t really have chemistry with Matthew, although the pairing was believable because money and the estate were involed. No chemistry with Gillingham.

Tom Cullen was not believable as his character. He's too rugged to have been in Mary's social circle. He looks more like a groundsman or gamekeeper.

At least she got her ass handed to her by the illiterate but cute footman. He wanted to get into her pants but as usual with broads like her she wouldn't have anything to do with him as long as he was showing affection to her. Then he finally got fed up and started ignoring her and suddenly she wanted him bad. Little cock tease, she is.

Not too bright either. There was a time she was hot for Thomas.

Tom Cullen looks like he has a bit of simian in his bloodline. He's hot, but monkeyfaced.

[quote]r6 Fellowes wrote the Daisy character to be a fan favorite and the fans actually hated Daisy. I did like Daisy.

Daisy was a hard worker, and she didn't have the advantage of coasting on beauty or inheritence ... like SOME people in that g-damn house.

Wow I never realized that guy was Andrew Foyle! He was a good choice for Mary. I feel like they left the possibility open for a reunion in their parting scene but the show ultimately went in a more boring direction.

[quote] Not too bright either. There was a time she was hot for Thomas.

That part was believable. Girls are always stupid about the guys they like.

The Mary + Talbot marriage was unrealistic. If Mary were going to marry someone poor, it could just have well been Branson (the fans wanted that marriage, anyway). Mary's character was consistently money- and class-conscious. Suddenly, she falls in love and marries someone poor, Talbot, without any arc in her character. Bad and lazy writing.

Who would want to pretend to be married to THIS?!

Bates was the real downer on that show. I can't wait for the movie when Edith will outrank all of them.

Bates was ill-tempered and a martyr to a stupid degree.

Edith should ditch Marigold and adopt Daisy, then we have Mary sabotaging the little scullery maid's rise in society.

[quote] If Mary were going to marry someone poor, it could just have well been Branson

Don't make me laugh.

Tom Branson was the smartest person in that house and he was way, way too smart to tie himself down with that bitch Mary.

BTW. R24, count me in as another member of the club you mention with your signature.

I love that Edith outranks that bitch Mary.

I think Mrs. Patmore had the hots for Daisy, they was tremendous sexual tension between the two.

Downton Abbey was total girl power Lifetime empowerment propaganda. The staff could practically get away with murder and the Crawleys cared so much for their staff like they were all related. Sometimes it was vomit inducing. There were no boundaries. Even former servants were dining at their table!

Daisy's character development was going from stupid twat to stupid, feminist twat. Getting involved in feminist studies (a detour from becoming a cook) and feeling it's beneath her to accept the proposal of William's dad which made kind of sense since someone else owned the farm and not William's dad so it was a different kind of servitude, but still no chance of starving to death like many others in that era.

Villainous homosexual.

I don't think Daisy is a bitch. She is dim and not very bright and I can understand she felt very uncomfortable basically lying to William even if it really was a 'good' lie.

[quote] feeling it's beneath her to accept the proposal of William's dad

She didn't feel it was beneath her. She felt that she was accepting his offer on false pretenses and that she didn't know enough about farming to make it work once she inherited the farm.

R35 Series One: Mrs. Patmore to Daisy 'He's not a ladies man'. Daisy looks at Mrs. Patmore in bewilderment.

Series Six: Mrs. Patmore reminds Daisy that she once had a eye for Mr. Barrow.

Daisy was stupid, as was most women in her position. Good thing Mary never learned Daisy saw her and Anna and Cora dragging that body out of Mary’s room. and blabbed about it.

R39 especially since Mr Pamuk still had a ragging stiffy!

Well Daisy should count herself lucky that Mrs. Patmore didn't pimp her off in her 'house of ill repute'.

As discussed in another thread, Daisy shouldn't have been allowed near kitchen knives.

Is Daisy not in the film? I just looked at a poster for it and didn't see her in the picture.

She is in both the posters. In the one that has the 'upstairs' cast at the top and the 'downstairs' cast at the bottom she is standing behind Mrs. Patmore who is looking up at her. In the post with all the major cast members she is at the very back behind Andy.

Little Cunny cunt

Do Mrs Patmore and Daisy open the Pride parade in the village as Dykes on Bikes?

Innocent young Daisy throught Pamuk somehow managed to drop a turkey neck between his legs. She was quite puzzled at this inexplicable sight.

Daisy is always so snappish to the other male staff, I’m surprised she doesn’t get her ears boxed by the head cook. That’s what they used to do back then.

[quote]r47 Innocent young Daisy throught Pamuk somehow managed to drop a turkey neck between his legs. She was quite puzzled at this inexplicable sight.

She was later heard to say, "It tastes just like chicken..."

r16

she married the biggest dud of them all. Any of the others would have been better... I thought Mary and Tom would have been good together

R50 Mary and Tom became like brother and sister - it would have felt like incest. In some ways Tom became the son that Richard never had after Matthew died.

If you put Mr. Bates and Henry Talbot together you couldn’t make one interesting personality.

Eveland Napier should’ve been gay and hooked up with Barrow.

[quote] In some ways Tom became the son that Richard never had after Matthew died.

Who the fuck is Richard?

R54 It should be Robert.

If the show was realistic Daisy would have been a scullery maid by day and sex slave for the men by night— that’s how servants were treated back then

R56 I'm sure Mrs. Patmore would have been skilled using a coat hanger or some kitchen gadget to get rid of any those nasty pregnancies that would have occurred.

You're looking a little green, OP.

JEALOUS !

I don't know about Daisy.

I'm too busy fucking Barrow's ass. Turns out I liked the back of him after all.

r59

that would have been hot but I'm not sure if Thomas is a bottom... maybe vers, if he is a bottom then he is a bossy bottom

It was a time of great social change. Mrs. Patmore opened an adult book store in the village where guys could stand together looking at naughty pictures of Daisy or Tom.

It was behind a curtain so the guys could wank.

Like a Pakistani at Exxxpressions, Mrs. Patmore would scream "put another pence in the kitty"

Daisy could definitely be a bitch. She started out so timid. She was such a cunt to Ivy because Jimmy and Alfred seemed to prefer her over Daisy. The William marriage was sort of forced upon her, but it didn't kill her to make the poor guy happy in his last days. Daisy was almost too principled in the early days. She finally accepted Mr. Mason's offer to act like a father to her, which was good for her since her character apparently didn't have much in the way of family. She always talked about how she was alone and how nice it was to have Mr. Mason as a father figure.

Then Daisy was a retched cunt to Mrs. Patmore when Mr. Mason was showing some interest in her, all because she saw it as a threat to what she saw as finally having a family-like connection. Of course, Dumb Daisy couldn't see that it would have been like having her mother figure and father figure get together.

Oh well, she always came around to the right opinion at the end. And she ended up with BDF Andy. Not bad for someone who started out lighting the fires in the grand house.

Auntie Julian is a crap writer and the movie promises to awful

Funny enough most fanfictions that came out around the time after the first episode aired, depicted Thomas as a top R60. Don't ask me how I know that.

[quote]Edith should ditch Marigold

That mongoloid child should have been drowned at birth.

[quote]It should be Robert.

It's Wobert.
