The actress who plays unlucky-in-love Lady Edith in the hit ITV drama has requested her next romantic interest on screen be Ryan Gosling. Laura told the Radio Times: ‘I think he [Ryan] would be brilliant in Downton, and it would be a waste if that doesn't happen.’

Of course such a comment doesn’t need explanation, we can imagine plenty of reasons why Laura would like to be paid to lock lips with the Canadian star!

The last series of Downton Abbey saw Lady Edith jilted at the altar by Sir Anthony Strallan before she then caught the eye of her newspaper editor who sadly turned out to be married.
