“Downtown Abbey” stars are missing their co-star, Dame Maggie Smith, nearly a year after she passed away.

Kevin Doyle, Allen Leech and Hugh Bonneville reflected on their time working with the late legend while promoting their new film, “Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale,” in an interview with Page Six earlier this week.

Doyle — who portrays Joseph Molesley, a butler-turned-screenwriter — remembered how Smith loved to sit off camera and chit-chat with other cast members on set.

“She loved the girls, didn’t she?” he said, referencing Smith’s on-screen granddaughters played by actresses Michelle Dockery and Laura Carmichael.

“She had a lovely relationship with the girls,” he explained. “It was just lovely to see somebody like her, relaxed and just chatting away and telling stories.”
