I love that it contains a spoiler alert. Certainly any woman who is pregnant is aware of this condition. It's why they are constantly checking your blood pressure and poking your ankles. I did not have it but I know women who went into pre-eclampsia.

I think they kind of defeated the purpose of the spoiler alert when they put the spoiler in the first sentence of the article. Anyone who had not seen Downton Abbey yet and wasn't already spoiled by the topic of the article was DEFINITELY spoiled by the first sentence, most likely before they could even navigate away from the page. Tsk, tsk, CNN!

CNN doesn't seem to be as spoiler wise as those who are more closely associated with the soap world. They published a brief paragraph about the pending advent of Season 3 here. It contained a comment which amounted to a couple of spoilers that will have a rather profound impact on the over all scheme of things. ............ At first I wasn't happy about this but now I am because it has intensified my interest with more questions about how the stories will evolve.
What I didn't like happened last night in my search for a character list. I saw a synopsis of the next episode on a PBS site for Season 3.

My primary care doc sings in our chorus. She also watches Downton Abbey. We had a chance to talk about eclampsia . She knew immediately when they mentioned eclampsia that Sybil would die. There's been very little progress with this disease. They still don't know what the cause of it is nor is there a cure for it. The mother is monitored for her blood pressure and a protein in the urine. They deliver the baby early to stop it but the mother is still at risk for a couple of days afterwards.
