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)

Ha! I just clicked on this to say Quinn

Oh ...and Kevin from this is us.

Bassetlover · 16/06/2023 18:52

Ooh, and Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird!

MrsRachelDanvers · 16/06/2023 18:55

Aubrey in Master and Commander.
Aidan in SATC
Darcy in the Keira Knightley P&P

Also had a crush on Nicky from Bad Girls!

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….. 🤔

I had such a thing for Pete in Mad Men-but of course liked Don Draper. Also the original Poldark-Robin Ellis-which I used to watch as a child.

Andywarholswig · 16/06/2023 18:58

Owen Hunt from Greys Anatomy and McDreamy

MrsRachelDanvers · 16/06/2023 18:58

And Aragorn.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 16/06/2023 19:00

Dylan from Bev Hills 90210
Cole from The Affair

ThreeRingCircus · 16/06/2023 19:07

I was going to say Uhtred or Finan from Last Kingdom or Jamie from Outlander but looks like there's quite a queue 🤣.

I'll happily take Eric Northman from True Blood. He may be a vampire but I could work around it.

Thiscrackisverymoreish · 16/06/2023 19:16

Archie from Monarch of the Glen,
Jason Isaacs but only as Georgy Zhukov in Death of Stalin. Would definitely melt the elastic on my underwear 😆 Also Rufus Sewell and Robert Downy jnr in pretty much anything.

LaDamaDeElche · 16/06/2023 19:20

PalmLady · 16/06/2023 12:52

Damien Salvatore.
Stephan Salvatore.
Angel from Buffy.
You would love Jace from Shadow Hunters.

I haven't seen that! I'm going to watch it immediately 😁

clarepetal · 16/06/2023 19:24

James Spader in Pretty in Pink. Am sliding off my chair thinking about him...

MissBridgetJones · 16/06/2023 19:27

Judge John Deed.

That is my very favourite Jason Isaacs.

Incongruously, my main answer is Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec though.

RoyKentsChestHair · 16/06/2023 19:34

Roy Kent - obviously!
with a Jamie Tartt chaser

Greg House ( I like a moody, damaged narc)

Khal Drogo (ditto)

Joe Caputo from OITNB

Roman Roy, he’d be filth even if he couldn’t get it up!

MirrorMirror1247 · 16/06/2023 19:37

Ted from How I Met Your Mother

Clementineorsatsuma · 16/06/2023 19:42

Batiqueattic · 16/06/2023 12:48

Endeavour Morse but not when he's Morse!

I'm 60 and for me it's t'other way round!

cassiatwenty · 16/06/2023 19:46

Frank Martin, Transporter 🤩❤❤

cassiatwenty · 16/06/2023 19:48

Bassetlover · 16/06/2023 18:50

Chris Evans' character in Knives Out, that Arran jumper!

Yes!

WeAreTheHeroes · 16/06/2023 19:49

Jonny Castle. Or Roger Thornhill.

Paul from Ever Decreasing Circles. Ann, what were you thinking? Even as a kid I knew you'd be happier if you ran off into the sunset together. Martin would find someone else. A gnome or something.

Peter Egan 💜 Still handsome as Nicola Walker's father in Unforgotten

FuckNuggets · 16/06/2023 19:59

Angel - BTVS/Angel
Booth - Bones (I have a thing for David Boreanaz Grin)
Marshall - HIMYM
Chandler - Friends
Aidan - Revenge
Conrad - The Resident

OMG how could I have forgotten about Dylan McKay? 😲Luke Perry was my first love!

Trenisenne · 16/06/2023 20:11

Rip from Yellowstone
Javi from Narcos

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

Early Toby is exactly like my DH. The sense of humour is perfect. But I wouldn't mind the successful career and weight loss...
