No no no - it's Faramir (the Houses of Healing was the best part of that book)
Yes to Lord Peter ("my America, my newfoundland...... I knew I would make a bloody fool of myself" swoon)
I was Team Snape before his Gorgeousness was even cast.

I forgot about Spike from Buffy, but him too.

MrsSkylerWhite · 15/09/2021 23:21

Mr Rochester (only Ciaran Hinds though, obviously)

ifldewf · 15/09/2021 23:24

Dexter in the kill suit

ImprobablePuffin · 15/09/2021 23:26

Oh and Thomas Hardy as Bain. Mask and all. "I was born in the dark"

ImprobablePuffin · 15/09/2021 23:26

Tom

DelphiniumBlue · 15/09/2021 23:27

Uther Pendragon as described in the Mists of Avalon.
Uhtred, and Hector of Troy. Can't bear Achilles, though.

RosyPoesy · 15/09/2021 23:31

Niles Crane - Frasier (no idea why?!)
He would totally ravish you and be pathetically grateful for it. And he’s cultured and educated too. I absolutely would. I have a crush on Rimmer from Red Dwarf for the exact same reason (also because Chris Barrie was so incredibly hot).

SunshineThelma · 15/09/2021 23:35

Archer. He's a knob, but astonishingly sexy for a cartoon dickhead.

DaisyWaldron · 15/09/2021 23:37

Oh, how could I forget Jareth in Labyrinth?

diege · 15/09/2021 23:42

Daryl from Walking Dead
Joe from You 😫

SiobhanSharpe · 15/09/2021 23:48

James Norton as Sydney Chambers in Grantchester.
Tom Hiddleston as Jonathon Pine in The Night Manager. (But not as Loki -- that headdress, too weird. 😬)

nonamehere · 15/09/2021 23:50

Sergeant Hathaway - such a complex character.

MrsFin · 15/09/2021 23:53

Ross Poldark ❤️

TheBlessedCheesemaker · 16/09/2021 00:03

Lucifer.
Vilenelle.

Preferably at the same time.

SukiPook · 16/09/2021 00:04

As a kid/teen: Han Solo,
Indiana Jones
The German soldier in Summer of My German Soldier (the book... after reading it aged 14 or so I had an imaginary/fantasy German boyfriend, I used to imagine being stranded on a desert island with him and he would rescue me Grin)
The Android in the book Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee (again aged 14)
Rhett Butler (in the book)
And as an adult:
Darcy (both in book and Colin Firth)
Mr Rochester (in the book.. even though he's so flawed and that gypsy bit is just cruel, never mind the bigamy!)

Ash Taylor in Star Trek Discovery (yum!)
Sherlock (Benedict)
And ok, the Hot Priest too!

SukiPook · 16/09/2021 00:06

Oh, and Howard from the Mighty Boosh! Started off having a crush on Vince, then it changed to Howard.
And when I was a teen I also had crushes on Vic and Bob.

Rolypolyfishheads · 16/09/2021 00:09

Rose in Titanic

Whattheschitt · 16/09/2021 00:10

Young Bill in Mamma Mia 2.

SukiPook · 16/09/2021 00:10

I also once had a really dirty dream that I was a legal assistant getting ravished by Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad. (This was pre Better Call Saul, it was totally sleazy Saul and he had a terrible mullet in my dream... great dream though! Grin )
Or there's the time I dreamt I was having sex with Darth Vader (what is wrong with me?!)
Oh yeah forgot I also had a crush on Tom Hardy's character in Taboo. He entered my dreams too,in that long black coat and top hat Grin
