Fictional character crushes

Inspired by another thread who is your fictional character crush?

In no particular order:

Carlise (Twilight)
Edward (Twilight)

& Evan Peters in pretty much all of the bad boy roles in American Horror story but if I have to choose ‘March’ (in Hotel) 😍

should add - the actors don’t really appeal its 100% the character 😜

And 6 chapters in that one, says from Bella POV but it's not. And not all with her.
Enjoy!

Angel (buffy) , Captain America, Lord Bridgerton and Edward Cullen! I dont know if I could pick a favourite from those.

What an amazing crime fighting team they would be

And, inexplicably, Robin the cave man 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm not even remotely interested in women but I do agree with this!

Mine's a bit weird. Based on a real person. W.H.R Rivers in The Regeneration Trilogy. Not especially useful that he's portrayed as a (at least probably) gay man. And I'm a straight woman.

If it helps, one of my longest term fictional crushes is on Billy Prior…

Brigante9 · 02/08/2022 14:00

Ranger, from the Janet Evanovich books. Dear lord!

Khal Drogo

Spike from Buffy, even tho he’s a horrible person.

Does no one still harbour a crush on Richard Sharpe?

I spent my teenage years devouring the Sharpe novels and Mills & Boon, which has set some impossibly high standards for the men in my life.

Though book Sharpe is hotter than TV Sharpe, even though picturing him as a young Sean Bean certainly does not cause any problems.

Hollyhocksarenotmessy · 02/08/2022 14:18

Absolutely Sharpe. I also had a crush on Sargent Harper.

As a young'un - Eddie Shoestring. Can't explain that one.

Ray Winstone's Will Scarlet in Robin of Sherwood (but RW normally, no).

The vampire in Being Human.

I still hold a torch for Sharpe, he was fantastic. Especially in the Daniel Craig episode Blush

Don Draper.

Yesssss!

ShirleyJackson · 02/08/2022 15:56

David Rose out of Schitt’s Creek gives me the fanny gallops.

WhoopItUp · 02/08/2022 15:59

Mike Young in Neighbours circa 1988. I’ve loved Guy Pearce ever since and I can’t tell you how excited it made me when he came back for the finale!

Chevyimpala67 · 02/08/2022 16:05

Dean Winchester
Always and forever ♥️

queenrollo · 02/08/2022 16:05

Morse from the Endeavour series. The actor is not my type at all, but I am utterly in love/lust with his portrayal of Morse.

Another one who had a childhood crush on the fox in Disney's Robin Hood.

Moaningturtle1 · 02/08/2022 16:07

Hot priest in Fleabag!!

Kneel….. 🥵

RainbowZebraWarrior · 02/08/2022 16:20

Kylo Ren. With the mask on.

As opposed to with the mask off / the actor Adam Driver
