Seeing as there's literally no-one out there for me in real life, I might as well day dream:

Ghost - Sam Wheat ❤
Homeland - Quinn
Friends - Richard Burke (without the tash)

Michael from Thirtysomething. Handsome, warm, kind, intelligent, wish men like him existed in real life!

MollysBrolly · 16/06/2023 16:37

Gilbert Blythe - but then I'd get pissed if with his neediness towards me

An old one, but for me it's definitely the Michael Steadmen character from the 80s series Thirtysomething.

Getting the fanny flutters just thinking about "him".

Ha that's so funny, I hadn't RTFT, but I just wrote that! He's heavenly isn't he?😍

One for the oldies: Ronald Craven from 1985s Edge of Darkness. I loved Bob Peck then and still do.

So, for a wild fling, Judge John Deed, Ryan Atwood from the OC and Poldark.
All are super hot but would be a nightmare To date!

To marry, Sandy Cohen from the OC. Another perfect man.

CrazyArmadilloLady · 16/06/2023 17:00

I forgot Don Draper in Mad Men.

Yes to Lord Blackadder (series 2, obv).

I never fancied Tony Soprano but once out of nowhere, I had an x-rated dream about him. I still don’t fancy him per se, but there is definitely a quality….. 🤔

Captain Brandon - Sense & Sensibility
Ronny Cammereri - Moonstruck
Jack Callaghan - While You Were Sleeping
Tom Barnaby - Midsomer Murders

Not Tom Barnaby but John definitely. He knows his way around the kitchen. Dinosaur Tom wouldn't even know how to work the dishwasher.

Hank/ David Duchovny in Californication - unwise, but I still would🤣

Iwasfeelingepic · 16/06/2023 17:48

Elijah and Kol from the originals.
Both Salvatore brothers.
Kai from TVD, against my better judgement and finally Dean Winchester

Jack from This Is Us
Toby from This Is Us
Jess from Gilmore Girls
Westley from The Princess Bride
Denny Duquette from Grey's Anatomy

Early Toby or later Toby? I loved the episode with both in and the former mocking the latter to Kate.

NaughtyBoyGeorgeMichaelJacksonBrown · 16/06/2023 18:39

Christian Slater as Will Scarlett. I had a whole world in my head where we fell in love and trained horses in Sherwood Forest, sometimes helping out Robin (who was secretly in love with me too).

Dolallytats · 16/06/2023 18:46

Jax and Opie from Sons of Anarchy....imagine being the filling in THAT sandwich!!😍 Also Jack Dalton from Macgyver.
