Joanne Froggart, who plays Anna on Downton Abbey, just dished on the series and her character, giving some clues on the kind of drama that fans can expect to see next season.

Series Will Have 'Charm & Humor?'

On Thursday, LA Times posted an interview with the actress, who mentioned how much she enjoys working in scenes opposite Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary on the series.

"Michelle and I both love playing the scenes in Lady Mary's bedroom; you get those moments when that structure is slightly lessened, [yet] Anna is always mindful of the fact that she is Lady Mary's employee," Froggart said.

Season 5 Will Take On A New Style?

The actress went on to describe what her character will be like in the fifth season, which will likely have positive results.

"In Season 5, which we're filming now, Anna is even more forthright with her opinions; it's for Mary's own good, purely because she cares about her," Froggart said.

The actress also discussed her thoughts on the shocking rape incident that happened to Anna last season.

"It was shocking because it's supposed to be shocking," she said. "This is a shocking event to happen to anybody, and it's a shocking thing to happen to this character, who is a nice person -- and bad things happen to nice people. if the drama can get people talking about certain subjects, whether it be this or something else, I think that's a really powerful, important thing."

Downton Abbey Season 5 is expected to premiere in January 2015 on PBS.
