Ths is a reader’s response to last week’s LA Times profile on Matthew GoodE by Mary McNamara.
Below is the concluding paragraph of her op piece. Highest compliment on Matthew’s performance. Full article under the cut.

Mary McNamara’s outstanding analysis notwithstanding, I’m not sure that Robert Evans would not have approved of Matthew Goode playing him in “The Offer.”
Although this flyover-nobody did not know Mr. Evans personally, I was lucky enough to have a small correspondence with him on Twitter between 2013 and 2017.
I nearly had a stroke (which would have smashed the oversized Evans-like sunglasses I also like) when he followed me and then felt another coming on when he responded several times to my thanks for the follow.
Over the years, I was just a bit less shocked when he would thoughtfully respond to my tweets, which were about decidedly non-Hollywood subjects. I even got a bit accustomed to the occasional direct message and greeting.
Yes, he was an older man by the time I made his online acquaintance. But he seemed to be an older man who perhaps was never as wholly outrageous as his publicly wild lifestyle might have suggested.
The Kid definitely remains in the picture, portrayed by an actor who might capture more of the Evans behind the sunglasses and the headlines. He just might have liked that very much.

Thank you for Mary McNamara’s breathtaking portrait of Matthew Goode as Hollywood icon Robert Evans [“Matthew Goode Amps It Up,” May 8]. The photographer [Dania Maxwell] perfectly captured the drama, class and glamour of a bygone era and personified the depth brought to the role by this amazing actor.
It was an unexpected Mother’s Day treat.

Phyllis Logan interview at the NYC premiere of Downton Abbey: A New Era
I doubt there’s a person more gorgeus on earth…Phyllis is just simply so beautiful!
Here is the clip to the CinemaBlend article I posted earlier.
This lady is really busy these days
I don’t suppose that while I was hiding for a month they released the script to the second movie like they did the first? Because while I hope to see it in theaters again, I’m not sure I’ll manage and I’d really like to be able to reference things for my writing before July.
This post is for all of my followers and mutuals (or, more accurately, mutuals and mutuals I follow back) who are die hard Thomas/Richard shippers and who are probably going to utterly despair as my work takes a hard turn toward Thomas/Guy for a bit. Allow me to offer a bit of reassurance:
My brain doesn’t really do OTPs. I’m not saying I haven’t had one or two in my time, but for the most part, it’s just not how I’m set up to think. If it looks like I have an OTP, it’s simply because none of the alternate pairings on offer appeal at all. I’m still open to suggestions. On the one hand, that means I’m not going to adhere staunchly to the H.M.S. Thomas/Richard*. If nothing else, Fellowes just handed me the perfect premise for finally doing a Gosford Park crossover, if I can just cobble together a plot (my nemesis!).
On the other hand, it means I’m not going to simply pack my bags and abandon ship either.
Most of my romantic WIPs from before the film release involve Richard Ellis and that will not change. Admittedly, I don’t know how many of them I’ll - did I remember to put a spoiler tag on my last post? *checks* Crap. No. *fixes that* - anyway, as I was saying, I don’t know how many of them I will finish. There’s at least one that was supposed to be canon compliant that I’ve lost all interest in now that the canon has shifted, but it was getting nowhere at twice the speed of light anyway, so it’s no big loss. But the odds that I won’t finish one or two is basically zero.
Unless something massive happens, like my being run over by a bus, in which case it’s a non-issue because I won’t be writing period.
Also, my muse is an Anglophile, so while I do have a bunch of immediate ideas for H.M.S. Thomas/Guy, once those peter out, my brain will probably pack its bags and move back to Yorkshire. This may or may not actually involve Richard, but odds are not terrible.
Then again, heck, I might manage to get my noggin to focus on the other stories I originally had for the ‘Moroccan Sun’ verse, or something like that. You never know with me. I certainly don’t!
And of course, I’m not predominantly a romance writer, so no matter what happens there will be lots of Thomas being Thomas and interacting with people without any form of lovey dovey anything. That’s not going to change either.
So! That is the basic shape of things. Hope you are all well and that, if you were fretting, this eases the worry, at least a bit.
*Yes, I know, name mashing would work better for ship names. I acknowledge this. I just hate it that much, so I can’t.
