Rob James-Collier, who plays Downton Abbey's scheming gay footman Thomas Barrow, revealed in an interview with Daily Mail that the show will feature a "harrowing" upcoming storyline about the character not only questioning his sexuality, but trying to change it – with devastating consequences.
‘There are mornings of those scenes when you haven’t been able to sleep at night because you are so worried about how it will go. Thomas comes right up to the abyss.’
