Rose's mother, Susan MacClare, was played by Phoebe Sarah Nicholls. This information is missing in the article. See: Wikipedia article on Phoebe Nicholls.

Shouldn't this character, played by Samantha Bond, be elevated to the 'Main Characters' table? she has been in all six series and the latest film, only missing the first film. This is rather more significant than some of the people currently listed at the bottom of the Main Characters table. Sbishop ( talk) 12:52, 21 November 2022 (UTC) reply

We don't get to choose that; Bond was never credited with the main cast (opening titles, or initial alphabetical cast list for films). U-Mos ( talk) 14:35, 21 November 2022 (UTC) reply

In Mr Matthew Crawley’s entry the table refers to his half-bothers. The Greys are step-brothers.

I edited the text but it came up with an error - it seems WP does not understand that concept.

The text is restored with the error 2A02:C7C:DCBC:5700:ADFF:6979:F927:E3D2 ( talk) 13:20, 6 January 2024 (UTC) reply

How come there is no background information on the characters like there is for American television shows and such? Nosehair2200 ( talk) 04:01, 10 April 2024 (UTC) reply
