‘Downton Abbey’s’ Jessica Brown Findlay preparing for pregnancy plot

“Downton Abbey” star Jessica Brown Findlay, who plays Lady Sybil, is gearing up for her pregnancy storyline in Season 3. The actress was disappointingly absent from the Season 2 finale Christmas episode, as she and new husband Branson were over in Dublin and informed their parents of the pregnancy through the post. But Findlay tells the U.K.’s Sun newspaper that she’s ready to come back to Downton all preggers.

“I am eating lots of pies in preparation. I am taking my role
very seriously,” says Jessica. “I have watched ‘Call The Midwife’ and it has made me absolutely terrified.”

She also teases how great Season 3 is going to be.

“It has got some killer moments in it,” says Findlay. “I’m so excited to be back with everyone because we all get on so well
together.”

We can’t wait! We were most upset not to see Sybil and Branson’s wedding. “Downton Abbey” returns to the U.S. airwaves in January 2013.
