'Downton Abbey' star: Lady Mary 'needs to find a husband'

[joeybee12]

When "Downton Abbey's" fourth season begins, six months after the tragic death of Matthew Crawley, the household isolated by grief is just starting to rejoin society again.

But almost as soon as the Crawleys reopen their doors to visitors, potential suitors for Lady Mary come rushing in.

"She has more than one love interest," Michelle Dockery confirmed at the Television Critics Association press tour Tuesday.

Some of the first to cross the threshold are Charles Blake (Julian Ovenden) and Lord Anthony Gillingham, played by Welsh actor Tom Cullen

2. She's a mother & widow. That means

she is sexual and has needs that can only be met in marriage, according to the old customs.

3. Yeah, but that didn't stop her in the first season from getting some!

Actually, she didn't get any, he died right off...so technically she really only did do it during marriage.
