and Just Because... The Blind Lieutenant

Lachlan Nieboer
Lieutenant Edward Courtenay, Downton Abbey


Like in the first season, in the episode one of the second season Downton Abbey again introduced a character I was instantly drawn to. In the first season, the show quickly had us lusting over Kemal Pamuk, (Theo James) only to quickly kill him. Season two began with the introduction of Lieutenant Edward Courtenay who I, along with Thomas and I am sure, many of you lusted over. Sadly again, the show chose to off him prior to the closing credits.



One of the things I love about Downton Abbey is that story moves quickly and characters go through changes in each episode. That being said, Thomas's infatuation with the blind soldier would have made a wonderful story to have been able to follow for the course of the season. Although Lieutenant Courtenay is gone, my love of actor Lachlan Nieboer has only just begun!
