2. Carson And Mrs. Hughes Get Married
There's always been something quite endearing about the relationship between Carson the butler and Mrs. Hughes, the housekeeper. They both play similar roles within the Downton household and can be a mentor for the younger members of staff. They've also been known to confide in each other from time to time, and it's also noteworthy that if Carson is behaving out of turn it's only ever really been Mrs. Hughes who has been able to tell him so. This has led some fans of the show to speculate that the two might end up in a romantic relationship, which frankly is a storyline we'd give our right arm to see happen. Can anyone honestly say the thought of Carson and Mrs. Hughes becoming the Posh and Becks of "downstairs Downton" doesn't put a big grin on their face? In fact, we can't think of anything better than the image of a newly married Carson and Mrs. Hughes reading a book at bedtime before switching off the light and going to sleep. In adorable separate single beds, naturally.
