Lachlan NieboerLieutenant Edward Courtenay,
Downton AbbeyLike in the first season, in the episode one of the second season
Downton Abbey again introduced a character I was instantly drawn to. In the first season, the show quickly had us lusting over Kemal Pamuk, (
Theo James) only to quickly kill him. Season two began with the introduction of Lieutenant Edward Courtenay who I, along with Thomas and I am sure, many of you lusted over. Sadly again, the show chose to off him prior to the closing credits.
One of the things I love about
Downton Abbey is that story moves quickly and characters go through changes in each episode. That being said, Thomas's infatuation with the blind soldier would have made a wonderful story to have been able to follow for the course of the season. Although Lieutenant Courtenay is gone, my love of actor Lachlan Nieboer has only just begun!
