Another actor is moving out of Downton Abbey.

Siobhan Finneran, who played conniving—but sometimes likeable—maid Sarah O’Brien, will not be returning for season four, a rep for MASTERPIECE on PBS confirms to EW. According to the rep, O’Brien will leave to do something else and the door will remain open for the character.

Finneran’s departure follows the exits of Jessica Brown Findlay (Sybil) and Dan Stevens (Matthew), who both opted not to renew their contracts with the series.

“I’m not doing any more. O’Brien is a thoroughly despicable human being – that was great to play,” Finneran told the Mirror.

According to TV Line, the actresses departure will take place off-screen during the six-month time jump between seasons.

Guess it’s time for Cora to find a new lady’s maid. Who would you recommend for the gig?

WARNING: CONTAINS DOWNTON ABBEY SPOILERS.

Has Downton Abbey already found a new suitor for Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery)? Not quite…

Just days after the season three finale—which showed Mathew (Dan Stevens) dying in a devastating car wreck—aired in the U.S., the Daily Mail reports that the series has cast British actor Tom Ellis to play Mary’s new love interest. However, MASTERPIECE publicist Olivia Wong tells EW that the casting news is, “Not true at all.”

Of course, that’s not to say Mary won’t be finding love next season. When EW spoke to Downton exec producer Gareth Neame he explained that, “Next year very much the spine of it is Mary rebuilding her life. Inevitably that means she’s got to, at some point, [find a] new man. She’s an eligible young widow.”

Which actor would you like to see court Lady Mary? Leave your suggestions below.
