Am I morally bankrupt, or some kind of weirdo? I have a massive thing for Gus from Breaking Bad.

Just that, really.

I'm starting to feel ashamed again......

Looks like there's a tiny minority of us.... We're firmly in the - ahem - specialist interest camp.

I was a little bit in love with Jesse. Such lovely teeth and so glad mr white built him a robot afterall. I too have googled photos. The shame.

Skinny Pete, loved his appearance in the last episode. Sure he'd make me laugh out loud. Nice muscles and could be serenaded by piano.

Also the cartel guy in Say My Name. I would.

Best TV ever, even beating The Killing for me.

Interesting, Gus as gay and his murdered ex-partner was his lovah?

Gus is so meticulous, I think he'd find the idea of sex repellent.

DontMentionThePrunes · 23/10/2013 11:22

Argh I can't read the thread as I'm only half-way through season 4. But yes, it's not that Gus is hot so much as he has an absolutely amazing face. He just changes one muscle and goes from solicitous and pleasant to utterly evil and murderous. Alec Guinness could do that too.
Also, he has a voice like melted butter.

Noooooo Aaron Pauls the hot one :)

When Walt had dinner at Gus' house there were kids toys in the hall way but we didn't find out much about his personal life.

Steben · 23/10/2013 11:27

The things I would do to Jesse....Yo!

Crowler · 23/10/2013 11:30

Right. I forgot about the kids toys.

I like Jessie, but this article about Aaron Paul kind of made me ugh. Warning: this may make you love him more, depending on your view.

Would they involve magnets and wire?

That was addressed to Steben, btw!

The amazing thing about the series is how your allegiances change. Gus is generally the ruthless criminal mastermind, opposing Walt (and making Walt seem morally better in comparison) but, in that scene where they are the prisoners of the cartel, you are rooting for Gus, along with the others , to escape (and survive!)

ChilledGhost · 23/10/2013 12:39

I love the second sentence of Prunes post! Wink .

juneau · 23/10/2013 12:44

I have a bit of a soft spot for Jesse. He's kind of a dope, but he's cute when he's not all drugged up and skanky-looking. He has lovely eyes, don't you think?

Saul is hilarious - he's my favourite character. It's such a great show. We're half-way through series 4. I'll be devastated when we're done.

Gus reminds of Obama. And Mike? He's so ugly! Yuk.

DontMentionThePrunes · 23/10/2013 12:48

I quite fancy Saul. Now that is inexplicable.

DontMentionThePrunes · 23/10/2013 12:48

Mike is another one with an amazing face. for radio
He is so totally unattractive. I don't think I've ever seen anyone as badly put together on tv.

DontMentionThePrunes · 23/10/2013 12:49

(Thanks chilled ghost Smile )

smearedinfood · 23/10/2013 14:56

Check out the guy who plays Gus on twitter, comes across as total opposite in real life.

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 23/10/2013 15:01

Gus aka Giancarlo Esposito is a legend. LOVED him in Homicide: Life on the Street.

Agree with those who say Gus is sexless though and probably 'has a smooth front bum' Grin.

FairyJen · 23/10/2013 15:03

We had a takeaway the other week and I swear gus fring delivered it. Complete with suit and glasses and everything. Spoke very nicely as well. I did a proper double take when I opened the door!

gaggiagirl · 23/10/2013 15:10

Walt junior for me please. He looks beautiful in a polo neck on his twitter page.
Hank perhaps.
Walt, yeah go on then.
Gus has a beautiful face but I don't think he would do nookie on anyone. Sorry OP.

UriGHOULer · 23/10/2013 15:33

But mike is sooooo cool. He's a grandad, which puts him way off the agenda for me. And he's not a looker, but he's the best character in the whole thing.

TheHeadlessLadyofCannock · 23/10/2013 16:26

I do love Mike's long-suffering expression whenever someone else mucks up and he has to go in and fix it Grin

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/10/2013 16:46

Mike has a lovely voice - beautiful tone and expression.

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/10/2013 16:48

And Saul is hilarious and generally has a solution to everything, which makes him attractive.

Bettercallsaul1 · 23/10/2013 16:54

FairyJen - Are you sure it was Gus that delivered your takeaway? Did you see his face? ( or just half of it?)
