No romance for Downton Abbey in-laws
Michelle Dockery and Allen Leech of Downton Abbey say Cupid’s arrow is not headed for their characters.
While talking to a TV Critics’ panel Tuesday, the actors said they find it ‘‘very funny’’ some fans are hoping for a romantic pairing for in-laws Lady Mary Crawley and Tom Branson.
Both characters are widowed and have become confidantes in their grief.‘‘Their friendship has really grown,’’ said Dockery, who reminded that at one point her aristocratic TV alter couldn’t fathom the idea of having a chauffeur marrying her sister.
In season five of the British drama, which will premiere in the US on January 5, that bond will strengthen as they work to preserve their country estate.
‘‘They’re after the same thing for Downton. Sustainability,’’ said Leech.
‘‘You definitely get the idea they get together on a united front with the idea of making sure ’Downton’ is going to be around.’’It’s not all business though, says Dockery, who admits they’re also ‘‘both looking for love.’’
‘‘But not with each other,’’ quipped Leech.

Travolta’s pilot wins right to tell-all
John Travolta’s former pilot has won a bid to challenge the validity of a confidentiality agreement he signed when he left the movie’s star’s aircraft company Alto in 1987.
A judge in California has given Douglas Gotterba permission to argue in a lawsuit that he holds no confidentiality duties to the actor, despite claims to the contrary by Travolta’s lawyer Marty Singer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Gotterba, who worked for Travolta for six years, upset the star when he revealed plans to write a book about his time with the actor as part of a National Enquirer interview.
Singer sent out cease-and-desist missives, accusing the former employee of breaching a confidentiality agreement.
Gotterba has since sued Travolta and Alto bosses, seeking a judicial declaration about which agreement was valid and whether confidentiality was really enforceable.
