Fred from scooby do, Tristan from all creature great and small, mr darcy and captain wentworth, spike, Thor (well actually Chris Hemsworth but mostly as Thor).

I always thought I preferred dark men and that it was odd I ended up with a blond husband but the signs were there.

Aragorn. Faramir. Ned Stark. Daryl Dixon.

Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec. Not the actor, definitely the character.

Stringer Bell in The Wire 😍

Almost all Neil Pearson characters especially Dave from Drop the Dead Donkey.

Mr Rochester. And Mr Darcey. In my defence, I was very young. Wouldn’t touch either with a barge pole now.

Finkelbraun · 06/09/2020 20:16

Francis Crawford. I defy anyone not to.

Of course! I crush on characters far more than on the actors because you have no idea what they're really like. With a character, you feel you know them.

Over the years I've had a crush on Chandler from Friends, JR Ewing from Dallas, Solo from Man from Uncle, Ben Stone from Law & Order...the embarrassing list goes on!!!

Crocky · 06/09/2020 20:17

Spencer Reid.

Crinkle77 · 06/09/2020 20:17

I currently have a crush on Cormoran Strike.

dementedma · 06/09/2020 20:19

Mr Darcey
Aragorn

Not a crush as such, but was always fascinated by the character of poor Simon in Lord of the Flies. “Passions beat around Simon on the mountain top with awful wings”
To this day, I love the name Simon.

Captain Jean Luc Picard. Since 1990. I love him SO much.

SuperPixie247 · 06/09/2020 20:30

Sheldon Cooper. I think hes beautiful! 😍

AgeLikeWine · 06/09/2020 20:31

James Bond, as played by Sean Connery. I was probably about 12 when I first saw Goldfinger, and I saved up to by a Corgi Aston Martin DB5, complete with working ejector seat Smile.

Dex Dexter from Dynasty - voice like he'd been gargling razor blades.

TheRealMrsJamieFraser · 06/09/2020 20:33

Hhmmm let me think 🤔 😂

nettytree · 06/09/2020 20:33

Captain frederick Wentworth.

WingBingo · 06/09/2020 20:33

I have a crush on a character from an audio book series I am listening to.

Not the actor reading it, just the character. No idea what he looks like other than a very basic description.

InTheCludgie · 06/09/2020 20:33

The Hound from the Game of Thrones series Blush

MrsSiriusBlack1 · 06/09/2020 20:34

See user name Grin

WunWun · 06/09/2020 20:34

I was so in love with Spike from Buffy at one point I got quite worried about myself.

The80sweregreat · 06/09/2020 20:34

Tristan Farnham from the original ' All creatures' in the 70s! Peter Davison was so cute.
I was in love ! ( aged 12)
