A day without Twitter for some celebrities is like a day without coffee, food, and Internet for most normal folk. Apparently the cast of the incredibly successful period drama, Downton Abbey are no exception to the celebrity rule.

Per Zap2it.com, show runner Julian Fellowes has reportedly banned the stars of the series from tweeting. In an interview with The Telegraph Fellowes said, ""We had to explain to the cast about the dangers of tweeting, as no one realized how interested everybody was in the show. "You're in a bubble when you're filming. You're just tweeting these nice things and you don't realize there are millions of people worldwide trying to pick up the plot."

Looks like we will have to dig a bit deeper for any Spoilers on season 5. The show will return to the UK in the fall, whilst us Americans will have to wait until January 2015.
