No, that would just be too much for poor Edith. Edith even questions why dealing with his newspaper and his finances can't wait until he returns and they're married. It's like how they might have handed it if the actor had died in real life and they had to make a story that worked with that. I'm going to google that right now. Sloppy writing, but then again the show is filled with sloppy writing. If alive, Gregson likely doesn't know the story they told Edith because he'd be pretty horrified to find out that she thought that for so long. He is revealed to have a 'madwoman in the attic' wife... and it's likely that he really does but it's also doubtful that Gregson really needed to go to Germany for the divorce. Always having been unlucky in love, finally it seemed Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) had met a nice chap: London journalist Michael Gregson (Charles Edwards). I loved his place! Edith then is forced to consider Gregson dead, despite that no one has ever found a body or can entirely confirm what happened to him. But after some pre-martial intimacy led to an unplanned pregnancy, and Michael vanished, poor old Edith was in the lurch once more. Imagine a future Downton set in WW2 with Lady Edith, intelligence operative... ). I think the entire 6th season is supposed to take place in 1925. and still have the theory in play. This might create a scenario where Edith is able to see Gregson again and tell him about Marigold. Michael Gregson is presented to the audience as being at the heart of major literary movements of the time. Edith could have easily researched that fact or even posed a question to the housecall-making family attorney at any point, so it would be an incredibly thin cover on Gregson's part.

What a sophisticated place for cocktails, small dinner parties, etc. Downton Abbey (2019) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. I like that theory. Lady Edith and Michael Gregson Always having been unlucky in love, finally it seemed Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) had met a nice chap: London journalist Michael Gregson (Charles Edwards). Edith deserves a happy ending. I agree that Edith deserves a happy ending, but I don't think Gregson being alive would do it. It wasn't just that divorce was "scandalous." Journalists, writers and publishers were intelligent people with airtight cover stories for travel due to their careers and knew a wide range of influencial people. I mean, what's more heartbreaking: the idea that they were in love and he died, or the idea that they were in love and he disappeared for years, leaving her heartbroken?

Michael Gregson is presented to the audience as being at the heart of major literary movements of the time. We also know that he speaks German and is well-traveled. I put them on and turned on Downton and brewed some tea. Edith met Virginia Woolf at that party she attended and we know that Gregson's London-based publication is a major publication. Hitler published 'Mein Kampf' in July 1925, which seems around the time when the final season begins and that seems to be an event Downton would be unlikely to ignore, given how it would effect Edith. It was explained that one specifically couldn't divorce a mentally incapacitated spouse. Gregson passes it off as romance-- he wants it all to be done as soon as possible-- and while I'm sure he does love her and does want to be with her, I don't think that was the sole reason. Why we are drawn to the most unlikely and ordinary documentary stars. That is, in part, because they are asking the government for these answers-- the same people who are hiding the fact that Gregson works for them as a spy.

Therefore, while your fan theory might hold up in the end, his trip to Germany couldn't have been purely a cover. Gregson would have been someone who could have been in a position to emigrate to Germany and spy on the Nazis for the British. it's also doubtful that Gregson really needed to go to Germany for the divorce. He simply goes missing for a great deal of time and no one can get any straight answers. In all likelihood, there are really only two options: Gregson actually was killed by the Nazis or Gregson's death had to be faked by his superiors in the government to get Edith to stop asking questions and protect both her and Gregson in the process. It's a great place that was decorated especially for the show. On Downton, it takes awhile for Edith and the audience to discover what is holding Gregson back from a relationship with Edith. Someone might approach her after she unknowingly proves some kind of loyalty and Edith herself might be brought into the fold as a spy. Comments were made before and I just can't remember. Only time will tell though.
