We are currently watching the Witcher. The main character is hot. He does this little growl that makes me go weak at the knees. Im 48 for goodness sake!

If anyone has seen "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor - I was absolutely madly in love with Paul Newman's character Brick Politt.

I have a massive girl crush on Rebecca ( played by Hannah Waddingham) in Ted Lasso. Great character, strong female plus Hannah is gorgeous!

I love Withnail and I.

All my favourite people have a bit of Withnail in them.

Gilbert Blythe 💕

I came on to put that. But only the OG Gilbert (I wonder how he looks in his 50s). DD (16) likes the 'new Gilbert' (Netflix series) who is not at all handsome but I guess a similar character (I couldn't watch it because they've changed the books too much). Oh, the changing perceptions of handsomeness!

Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester in Supernatural 😍

This is mine too, he is perfection.

Another vote for Gilbert Blythe

Colin Bridgerton
Cormoran Strike

No oooo
Not Gilbert (fantastic, my first love) and... Colin? Just no. Gave me the ick in season 3.
DD and I both agree on Benedict! But she's also a bit upset Anthony is gay in RL because big crush there.

Snakeandladder · 29/05/2025 07:22

Ooh yes to cormoron strike. Possibly the strike from the books more.

And yes yes to reacher, again the book persona a little more but the TV one I wouldn't (be able to) kick out of bed.

I know this is old but Sean Bean as sharpe.

ChopstickNovice · 29/05/2025 07:27

Anthony Bridgerton

Joel Kinnaman as Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon

Do you think we could possibly share/rotate? Grin

GammonAndEgg · 29/05/2025 07:43

Tony Soprano! James Gandolfini

Wonderwall23 · 29/05/2025 07:45

These are old now but Derek Morgan from Criminal Minds and several of the cast from Prison Break!

CharlotteRumpling · 29/05/2025 07:49

Patrick Jane in The Mentalist.

I've still got the hots for DI Jimmy Perez!

I only discovered Shetland last year and have binged on all the episodes - saw him improve with age and gain a few pounds.

But I don't like the actor in anything else and he does nothing for me when I've seen him interviewed! Grin

If you binge watch the entire series, you notice he gets far more groomed and chic, and the costume department puts him in those good jumpers and the pea coat. And the hair gets much better cut! He’s much more bedraggled and ordinary-looking in the first season or two.

I agree Douglas Henshaw is very attractive as Perez, and that he’s far less so out of character. (Likewise Vigo Mortensen as Aragorn.)

Horrace · 29/05/2025 08:14

Oh yes, another one for Malcolm Tucker

MeowCatPleaseMeowBack · 29/05/2025 08:18
