SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – For thousands of gay men in San Francisco, it is the news that they’ve always dreaded to hear: the hit television series ‘Downton Abbey’ is now filming its sixth, albeit last season. Soon it will be off the air.
Several weeks after the show’s Maggie Smith declared that the sixth season of the beloved period drama will be her last, news now comes that the forthcoming season will be everyone’s last.
TVLine broke the sad news Friday afternoon, reporting that multiple sources have confirmed that the Julian Fellowes-created series will shutter after its upcoming sixth season.
The sad news sent hundreds of San Franciscans, mostly gay men, to emergency rooms late Friday. The Adobo Chronicles has confirmed that the E.R. at San Francisco General Hospital, UCSF Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente and Chinese General Hospital were all in triage mode after being deluged with patients suffering from depression, nervous breakdown, hypertension and panic attack, among other serious symptoms.
Nine out of ten patients admitted were gay men who all indicated that they started feeling ill right after hearing the news about Downton Abbey. Majority of the patients were very hysterical and had to be given valium or medical marijuana to calm their nerves.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office is considering filing charges against the producers of the show for causing widespread mental, emotional and physical disturbance never before seen in San Francisco’s gay community since the AIDS epidemic.
