Well, the main family is Grantham, not Crawley. Matthew Crawley is the blond guy and he's a cousin of Lord Grantham (the guy you said was a pirate in Dr. Who?). Mary Grantham is Lady Eyebrows and she's the oldest daughter but can't inherent Downton because ew girls. So, Matthew is brought in to be heir and he and Mary eventually hook up but then he dies and yeah, it sucked.

The fandom interpretation (and I think it's mostly a joke) is that O'Brien is in love with Lafy Cora (Lord Grantham's wife), but what really happens is O'Brien is the head ladies maid and she needs to be needed because it's her job and because she wants to be Lady Cora's favorite. So, she let's her slip in the bath which induces a miscarriage. It had nothing to do with being in love with her and ever thing to do with wanting Lady Cora to need her as head ladies maid. It makes her look good to the family and makes her look good to the staff, though the staff know she's pretty manipulative and conniving.

Maggie Smith's character is Lord Grantham's mother. She's not a Crawley either.

Sybil is rebellious and marries a servant and dies during childbirth, though I don't really remember a doctor subplot besides the one where Lord Grantham dilly-dallied in getting her help because he wanted to take the advice of some showy, famous doctor instead of the village doctor.

Everything terrible happens to Bates and his- now- wife Anna, that's true.

Also, Thomas is gay and also he's a manipulative, conniving little snake and I love him so much.

Sorry but...part of that is incorrect. In british aristocracy "Lord Grantham" is his title, not his last name. Grantham refers to the place he is the lord of -- so, Robert Crawley is the Earl of Grantham, and he's also referred to as just plain "Lord Grantham", which is the colloquial way of addressing a lord of such and such a place. But his last name IS Crawley and the same goes for everyone in the family -- Robert Crawley, Cora Clawley, Mary Crawley, Violet Crawley, etc.

Oh man, you are right on that one. I looked up how they are actually credited and that's right. Shows what I know about British aristocracy and titles. (Hint: nothing.) thanks for the info.
