The BBC series has recently undergone a major shakeup, losing its leading man Dan Stevens, who played 'Matthew Crawley,' as well as Jessica Brown Findlay as 'Lady Sybil.' It's expected that the impending season 4 will introduce more characters, and naturally give more screen time to those more minor characters, including Rose.

From the pen of award-winning writer Julian Fellowes comes the third series of ITV1's costume drama, Downton Abbey, starring Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern.

As they face new challenges, the Crawley family and the servants who work for them remain inseparably interlinked. Throughout the great house new arrivals rattle the established hierarchies, and the lives of the inhabitants are as shaped by romance, ambition, desire, shocks and heartbreak as ever.

The secure, serene and ordered world of Downton is rocked by passions below the surface and there are changes above and below stairs.

The third series was set in 1920, sees the return of all the much-loved characters in the sumptuous setting of Downton Abbey.

Aside from ABBEY, James has also appeared in WRATH OF THE TITAN's and SECRET DIARY OF A CALL GIRL.
