Downton Abbey actress Joanna Froggatt revealed some new details on what happened to Anna's attacker, giving some more insight on how Season 5 will begin.

Anna Will Have 'More Hurdles To Cross?'

On Thursday, The Wrap posted an interview with the actress, who is currently nominated for an Emmy this year. She talked about her nomination as well as her thoughts on the possibility of Mr. Bates killing the attacker.

"There is sort of a question mark behind the whole situation of Mr. Green's death," Froggatt said. "I can't think of any point that Anna really believes that Mr. Bates has done it. She has this doubt in her mind because as far as she knows Bates doesn't know who attacked her, who raped her."

The actress went on about how her character doesn't really want her husband to know who it was because it will lead to something that they both will want to take back.

"Her fear is that if he did find out he would do something as redemption and do something that he and they both would regret," Froggatt said. "So when she hears that Mr. Green has died it's just quite a coincidence, she has got this undying fear that Mr. Bates may have been involved in some sort of way. That is on her mind, but it is something that she can't discuss with him."

Froggatt is on her second Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Downton Abbey Season 5 is expected to premiere in January 2015 on PBS.
