Laura has to live with a family for one of her first teaching jobs. The family is struggling and the situation is stressful. Almanzo starts picking her up and driving her back each weekend even though it takes hours). I will also take John Thornton from North and South (as played by Richard Armitage - haven’t read the book).

Yes to John Thornton if you're choosing one of the others from your list.

Damnit, I was catching up on this thread and hoping no one claimed him already but I’m too late!

I’ll just be here waiting in line for sloppy seconds with Gilbert from the book, most of the cast of ER, Dylan and Dwayne Wayne.

Late 80s/early 90s TV ruined me for real-life dating. I’d love to line up all of our real life DHs and show them the delta between them and the men listed in this thread.

Ha!

YESSSS!! I forgot about that gorgeous guy.

He was gorgeous. Unfortunately I heard multiple times that the actor was a pretentious prick. What a bummer.

Cormoran Strike - the London private detective from Robert Galbraith (nom de plume for J.K. Rowling)

Strike is an Afghan war vet whose leg was partially blown off. Galbraith shows the pain and inconvenience of using a prosthetic leg, and it make the character much more realistic.

I'd take President Bartlett. Or President Shepherd from The American President.

I had to stop watching "Billions" when Aaron Sorkin started to write for the show. His glib, smirky, snarky style is just too unbelievable.

Yes. My mental image of him when reading the books was definitely not classically handsome but still a lot more appealing than the guy who played him in the series. A good actor but didn’t quite fit the part.

The detached loner you will never see, who pines for another and will follow her into an immortal world you cannot ever enter? Love Aragorn, but have some self esteem woman!

Reading some of these made me think of my earliest fictional character crushes—all on General Hospital. Oh, the days of free range children when a 9 year old could just enjoy some GH and a Tab after school without anyone getting all up in her business. I’m talking Hutch. I’m talking Robert Scorpio and Jimmy Lee Holt. And Blackie Parrish—a young John Stamos. They don’t make them like that anymore.
