Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?

[WomenHour]

I would say Joey on Friends

Horatio Hornblower

Yes! Me and my flatmate used to love watching that when we were students. I wanted a threesome with Horatio and Archie and she wanted to watch. We had a zoom rewatch during lockdown and apparently nothing has changed, I'd still have a threesome and she'd still watch.

Most of Georgette Heyer's heroes, especially the Marquis of Vidal.
Gibbs from NCIS
Starbuck and number 6 from the remake of Battlestar Galactica
Captain Janeway

I'm another one where See User Name applies.

Ah Zaphod. Mr 'I fall to pieces so fast, people get hit by the shrapnel'.

Stella Gibson and her silk blouses!

I also developed a weird crush on Camille Desmoulins in Hilary Mantel's A Place of Greater Safety. Purely the fictional version though, not the actual historical person. The image I have of him in my mind is entirely different to the portraits of the real Camille - almost like when they chose the wrong actor for the TV adaptation of a book They really should make a TV adaptation of APOGS, btw.

Oh, absolutely loads! Currently Dr. Neil Melendez, have just finished watching The Good Doctor.

@MrsVeryTired

Yes definitely Bucky too, but for me when he's the Winter Soldier, I clearly like dark and brooding

Yes, I guess it's that element of darkness that's appealing. It's certainly not the actor that's triggering the crush, he seems nice enough but not as brooding
