Drama is about to continue on Downton Abbey with questions that will likely be answered, including the reason for Thomas blackmailing Baxter.

Series Will 'Become A Different Place?'

On Thursday, Unreality Primetime posted a story from Robert James Collier, who plays Thomas on the series. The actor revealed that his character's tiff with Baxter should start to make more sense next season.

"[Baxter] was supposed to be the new O'Brien and report back to him all the gossip and scandal, so he could use it for his own ends," Collier said. "Along the way, with her own guilt, she starts to resist. We see that play out in this series that we're filming at the moment, what that hold is he has over her."

Anna Will Be 'More Forthright?'

The actor then mentioned other characters that will be involved in the Baxter scandal, which ought to give fans something to look forward to.

"[Molesley] is her knight in shining armour. He comes along and strengthens her, and the two go against Barrow. We see that manifest itself [next season] and play out, and it is pretty good."

This will apparently lead to a stronger connection between Molesley and Barrow, leaving Thomas upset.

"There are a few scenes where Molesley says something and Barrow does a double take because this guy had skulked around the shadows of Downton," the actor said. "All of a sudden, he has grown a pair of the proverbials. It is amazing what love can do to a man. It is lovely to see that relationship developing between the two of them, but for Thomas, he is outraged. We will see if we can counteract them."

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