"I Dies from Love" was among the episodes omitted from Upstairs, Downstairs' initial Masterpiece Theatre broadcast in 1974, and was consequently not shown on US television until 1989.
Emily, the scullery maid, had fallen in love with William, the footman of Mrs. Van Groeben, a conceited nouveau riche woman new to London from Cape Town, South Africa, who calls on Lady Marjorie for a Charity Committee she is involved with.
However, the next morning, William ignores her, while Harris, the Van Groebens' head coachman, returns her letter and encourages Emily to look forward to the servants' outing to Hampstead Heath.
In the novelisation of the scripts by John Hawkesworth, it is told that after Emily kills herself, the other Bellamy servants viciously condemn William, and Lady Marjorie severs all social contact with Mrs. Van Groeben and her family because of the tragedy.
", Lady Marjorie mentions that Mrs. Van Groeben raved about a dinner that Mrs. Bridges had prepared the previous night.
