DeepRunner June 18, 2014 Share June 18, 2014 Starting a new thread here, looking ahead to the end of the Abbey's road--What kind of show do you think various members of the cast will end up in? For me, it would be interesting to see: * Hugh Bonneville in a law firm type of role, or maybe a comedy * Elizabeth McGovern in ANY role that is not like Cora (meaning, intellectual, sharp, etc.) * Jim Carter in something other than costume dramas * Phyllis Logan in a Cagney and Lacey sort of setup, as the police chief * Brendan Coyle or Rob James-Collier (or both, at the appropriate time) as The Doctor. I think each would bring a different kind of edge to that character * Joanne Froggatt in a sleuth show set at a college/university * Lesly Nicol in a household sitcom * Sophie McShera in something a bit more modern...if a period drama, something from the 60's or 80's maybe Those are my thoughts. What say you all? Link to comment

helenamonster June 18, 2014 Share June 18, 2014 I like all your ideas, DeepRunner, especially the one about Elizabeth McGovern. She absolutely shines when Cora is allowed to have any semblance of a backbone and/or brain. My love for her righteous anger at Robert after Sybil's death knows no bounds. Shame it had to end. If JK Rowling's Cormoran Strike series (the one she writes under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith) were to be made into movies or a television series, Brendan Coyle and Joanne Froggatt would be the perfect fits for Strike and Robin, respectively. They would basically just be playing a platonic version of Bates and Anna in the present time and it would be wonderful. I think they work really well together and they are my dream casting if that ever comes to pass. Link to comment
