"Downton Abbey: A New Era" Says Goodbye to a Major Character

Cora has a secret through much of "A New Era": she's been suffering from some health problems, and her condition might be fatal. She tries to support Robert as much as possible as he worries over his family's secrets. The worry turns out to be for nothing, and Cora learns that her condition is pernicious anemia, which is totally treatable. Upon returning to Downton while a film crew is still there, she helps the leading lady, whose regional accent could put an end to her career now that "talkies" have arrived, by teaching her an American accent instead.
