Part of the genius of Downton Abbey lies its ensemble cast. In any given season, writer Julian Fellowes's intricate plot involved upwards of 20 main characters; if you didn't like one story line, you simply waited a few minutes for the next one to begin. But as the premiere of the film adaptation approaches, it's hard to remember where each member of the Crawley household left off.

Here's a quick recap.

Cora and Robert Crawley

In the sixth season of the TV series, Cora and Robert are grappling with the fact that their way of life is quickly becoming outdated. There's an ongoing conversation about downsizing the staff of Downton Abbey, which eventually resolves itself without too much heartache (more on that down below).

The state of Lord Grantham's health is also a question. Throughout the final season, he suffered from a stomach ulcer, which graphically burst in one of the latter episodes. Mary and Branson have also taken over much of the running of the estate to ease his burden. Cora, on the other hand, has chosen to become more involved with the hospital. Her daughters are grown, and married off, and she sees her position as a second career of sorts.

After six seasons of troubles, Lady Edith finally finds happiness. In the last episode of the series, the middle Crawley daughter marries Bertie Pelham to become the Marchioness of Hexham, a position which outranks everyone else in her family. But her story almost didn't end on such a high note. Mary tried to sabotage her sister's happiness, by revealing Marigold's true identity to Bertie. The news of Edith's daughter came as a shock to her fiancé, and he broke things off. But Edith and Bertie eventually reconciled, with the help of a repentant Mary, leading to a grand Downton Abbey wedding.

While season six begins with Mary being blackmailed for her hotel stay with Anthony Foyle, by its end, she is married to Henry Talbot, and they are expecting their first child together. Both she and her husband are in business with Tom Branson. Mary and her brother-in-law are the co-agents of the estate, while Branson and Talbot have just launched a used car shop together.

Tom tried to make a new life for himself with his daughter Sybbie in Boston, but by the end of season six, Downton had pulled him back to the English countryside for good. As mentioned above, the TV series finishes off with him starting a car shop with Henry Talbot.

The Dowager Countess

The TV show's final season has the Dowager at odds with Cora over changes to the local hospital. Eventually, Cora wins out over her mother-in-law, and some drama ensues, but it's all resolved by the show's end. In general, Violet is the same quippy Dowager fans of the series have come to know and love.

Cousin Isobel

In a season full of weddings, cousin Isobel's is the only one to happen off-screen. By the series finale, she's married to Richard Grey, who gave up his estate in order to be with her.

Lady Rose

Lady Rose crosses the Atlantic to attend Lady Edith's wedding in the series finale. Her appearance reveals that she, her husband Atticus, and her newborn daughter Victoria Rachel Cora are doing just fine in New York. But don't expect to see her in the movie. It was previously announced that Lily James will not appear in the film adaptation.

Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes

The finale season of Downton Abbey is full of life changes for Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes. The tie the knot, and move into a cottage of their own, where they settle in to married life. Mr. Carson also comes to terms with an tremor-related illness, and the fact that it will inhibit his work. Eventually, it is decided that he will stay on at Downton Abbey in a supervisory role, as Thomas Barrow becomes butler.

Mrs. Patmore

The reputation of Mrs. Patmore's bed and breakfast is tarnished when two of her guests carry out an affair on the premises. But when Lord and Lady Grantham come for tea, all rumors that she's running a "house of ill repute" are cast aside. In the show's final episodes, a relationship between Downton Abbey's longtime cook and Mr. Mason seems to be on the brink, though it never comes to fruition.

Daisy Mason

Over the course of season six, Daisy helps to secure her father-in-law Mr. Mason a new home at Yew Tree Farm, after he is evicted from his former residence. Her storyline in the show culminates with her passing her educational exams, planning to leave service, and beginning a flirtation with Andy the footman.

Thomas Barrow

While season six was a dark time for Thomas Barrow, even he gets a (somewhat) happy ending. After a suicide attempt, and an unfulfilling new job, Barrow is invited back to Downton Abbey to take over the position of butler from Mr. Carson.

Much like Edith, Anna and Mr. Bates had more than their fair share of hardships over the course of the television series. But in season six, they find some happiness. Anna is cleared of all charges related to the murder of her rapist, Mr. Green. And they finally have a child together, after Lady Mary takes Anna to see a London doctor about her miscarriages.

Andy

Before he came to Downton, Andy was working in London, but he's a country boy at heart. Andy begins to help Mr. Mason with his pigs, and to learn the art of farming. He also carries a torch for Daisy, and by the end of the season, that feeling appears to be mutual.

Mr. Molesley and Ms. Baxter

After helping Daisy to study for her examinations, Molesley is called to become a teacher in the local school. He and Ms. Baxter also seem to have the beginnings of a relationship, though that was never explicitly shown onscreen.

Cousin Matthew and Sybil

While Cousin Matthew and Sybil do not appear in the final season of Downton Abbey, and most likely will not appear in the film adaptation, their presence is still felt in the series. Of course, their children, George and Sybbie, are a part of the story, and it's not uncommon for them to be referenced in conversation.
