Who is your most favourite fictional character ever??

[EdinaMonsoonsWardrobe]

Mine is probably Ross Geller but I know not many people will agree with me! I love him.

Buffy Summers, absolute legend.

Assuming we’re talking about books as well as TV, either Madeleine Maxwell of St Mary’s or Georgette Heyer’s Kitty Charing.

Billy Lloyd-Foxe, I’d have been wildly in love with him, I fear. Pretending that Africa scene never happened

Gilbert Blythe takes some beating.

Charlotte the spider, The Grand Sophy, Laura Ingalls (books, not TV), Dorothea Casaubon, Death and Carrot and Sam Vines from Pratchett, Lizzy Bennet... There are loads of fictional characters I love.

(I'm including Laura because although she was a real person, it's a very fictionalised account)

On telly, I have an immense soft spot for Buffy and for Mark Green from er

Spike from Buffy and Fox Mulder are pretty much tied for me.Scully comes a close third.

Sheldon Cooper

I actually really loved Romano in ER!

I think I love the name Gilbert so much because of Gilbert Blythe 🥰 not sure if I could bequeath it to a babe in 2026, but the love is there nonetheless.

I'm trying desperately to think of someone who makes me sound more high brow 😂😅, but River Song from doctor who is way up there in the best ever charts for me.

Bruce Wayne

saga Noren

Becky Bloomwood and Adrian Mole

Claire Fraser

Ruth Galloway from the Elly Griffiths series of books set in Norfolk.

Another vote for Maxwell in St Mary’s

Slade Ravinger from the Plated Prisoner book series.

Jane Eyre

CJ Gregg. Legend

CJ Cregg. Legend.

@squashyhat oooo yes good one!

Gabriel Oak.

In love since I first read FFTMC 30 odd years ago. Refuse to watch film adaptations in case they spoil him for me.

Well, Gene Hunt, obviously.

But also I really love Eric the Vampire from True Blood/Southern Vampire Mysteries

And Pauline Mole, mother of Adrian.

I really love Mildred Lathbury.

I also very much like both Jill and Ann in Ruby Ferguson’s Jill books.

Pauline Mole is a legend, and I’m also fond of Nick Jenkins’ odd, embarrassing but memorable Uncle Giles in A Dance to the Music of Time (‘people who take tea waste half the afternoon’)

Phoebe from Friends

Rory Gilmore

JD and Turk

Geraldine and Alice from Vicar of Dibley

And not forgetting Hyacinth

Oh yes Becky from the Shopaholic books

Dean Winchester.

I love Kay Langrish from The Night Watch by Sarah Waters. Such a brave and gallant soul.
