<b>Played by:</b> Jim Carter (pictured) and Phyllis Logan <br><br> <b>Where we left off:</b> Carson, the butler, had to deal with a small staff because of the war and the Spanish flu. Head housekeeper Hughes spent much of Season 2 helping former servant Ethel, who became impregnated by an officer staying at Downton. <br><br> <b>What to expect:</b> Carson not only has to deal with training some new staff members but has a major standoff with Thomas. Meanwhile, Hughes still looks after Ethel and has an incredibly dramatic moment of her own that she tries to keep secret.
