Just read all your commnets, i am sooooo happy to find that i am not alone. I absoulty love Dorcas and James. It has amazed me how important a fictinal charcter can be to you, he is definitely my favourite character. He has been a slow burner but when thngs do come up about hijmthey take up whole episodes and lead to huge revlation, he is certainly intresting and yes hes a darling, although i like Dorcaa i think she is acting mad, JUST KISS HIM WOMEN. You by now saw sunday the 8th ending the only thing i can think of that is worse than James and Dorcas not getting together is him written out of season three by his death at the end of season two PLEASE NOOOOO!

Have also read the spoilers for the end of the series…don’t want JD to move away! He’s sweet but “a man”, plus he adds drama to the plot. Otherwise it just all gets too fluffy!

And considering he signed his stock over to Celestia he really doesn’t have anything in London to return to. I think he’ll stay – as mistress of the bees put it – too much of a deja vu if he left.

Oh I agree…it would be awful for them to send JD away, there are no decent men in Candleford and who would Minnie have to swoon and match make for? Anyway, he’s a Counsellor and hotel owner – surely he just cann’t upsticks and leave his LR family and friends.

I think a nice developing relationship with the usual trials will do for series 3 – which I think should be the last, as I always feel that after series 3 these shows tend to loose thier charm/attraction – quit while you’re ahead.

Oh no I couldn’t resist and read the summary for the last two eps on the bbc press office page. They are indeed HUGE spoilers, so if you wanna have some surprieses left in this season …DON’t read em! Blimey I was just sooo curious.
@ ER: I am also still hopefull that JD and Dorcas will get together someday who knows after some time a good friendship could always develop into something more (hopefully at the end of series 3 )…
I am more relaxed now and I am really looking forward to the last 3 episodes!!!
The only thing I don’t want to happend now is that the series concludes with Mr. Dowland leaving candleford to move to London….that would be too much of a Déjà vu.
and still no confirmation of a 3rd series…I am starting to get really worried. Also somebody on another board made a really good point: There will be a ‘Cranford’ X-mas special this Year so there will probably NOT be a LRtC as well…

Well I have seen the spoilers for the final two episodes, lets just say he needs a good friend. Do you remember a Laura commnetary at the end of week 5 when Dorcas was sick..’in these changing times we were going to need our friends’..I think paying attention to Lauras commentary gives us wee clues.

I don’t think that Dorcas and JD will get together but I am certainly still hoping that they do. What would have been the point of every episode so far where they have been building the storyline up, for then to just finish it with her wanting to be just friends.

oh thanks Debx and Mimmi, I was already thinking I am the only one left (after reading all the comments on the DigitalSpy forum) who thinks Dorcas and JD should be together. Call me a hopeless romantic but I just believe in love and I clearly got the message that Dorcas and James are in love despite all their differences. Yes, they did have (still having) an emotional roller coaster but that doesn’t mean they can have a smooth sail into the sunset in the end.
On a different matter: I find it kind of strange that there is no confirmation from the BBC so far that there will actually be a 3rd series. If filming were to start in april they would start the preperations for it about now…

It seems that there are lots of viewers that want them to be together,and within these there are those that realise it my not be what the writers will allow just yet, given Dorcas’ character and single minded dedication to her PO.

Apart from a strong inkling that Dorcas may well never marry, I dont think they have done much to show any real love on her part. We only saw them hold hands briefly in ep 8. I think the only way would be to allow them to start all over again, maybe the letter could help, surely they cann’t have JD floored by more bad news in his story line.

from that spoiler – could this thing with JD bring Dorcas and James back together

i totally disagree that james and dorcas are not meant to be together!
and ok maybe Dorcas might not seem a type of woman who is house wife but she was all for marriage when James proposed! Therefore she obviously loves him otherwise she would have said no! and the only reason she won’t get with him is because she doesn’t know if she can trust him anymore.

though i was very annoyed at James thinking those flowers would work! it was obvious she wouldn’t like them she saw it as cowardice! he needs to prove himself and thats not working if hes moping about letting his buisness go down the drain! he should do some romantic and thoughtful things for Dorcas to show her how much he cares and that she loves him.
