"I have done a slew of embarrassing Googling this morning, so that you don&amp;#x27;t have to: &amp;quot;hot blonde guy Downton Abbey.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;New cute footman Downton.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Downton--Simon Bakerish dude? Please?&amp;quot; Finally, I found him: that gorgeous human Ken doll of a man who showed up on Downton last night, causing pantaloons to drop both upstairs and down. As Lady Mary put it: &amp;quot;Well done, Carson.&amp;quot; (And yeah, Mrs. Hughes, I saw you lookin.&amp;#x27; Get some, Mrs. Hughes.) The chap&amp;#x27;s name is Ed Speelers, he&amp;#x27;s 24, and he&amp;#x27;s going to be in at least 6 more episodes of Downton as new footman Jimmy Kent, so get comfy. I think my favorite part about Jimmy Kent is that he&amp;#x27;s basically the dreamboat symbol of the Downton women starting to come into their own. Edith is launching a writing career! Daisy almost asked somebody out! Mrs. Hughes got a toaster! Things are really looking up. (Unless your name is Sybil. Then things are looking down. I&amp;#x27;m officially with commenter glossygurl on this: Branson needs to chill the eff out. There&amp;#x27;s standing up for your beliefs, and then there&amp;#x27;s leaving your pregnant wife to make her own way home in a foreign land. He&amp;#x27;s basically the opposite of Liam Neeson in Taken.) What&amp;#x27;s that you say? All this old-timey Speelers stuff is well and good, but you&amp;#x27;d rather see our new friend contemplating the world on a balcony (shirt still open, of course)? Let me see what I can do. I haven&amp;#x27;t been this excited about a guest star since Mr. Pamuk. How are you feeling about Downton thus far this season? Photo: PBS, Splash News"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
