So, which of RA characters fit best with the theme of the day?
I want to say Thornton, as a lot of his other characters have had messed up private lives or I just didn’t buy his love interest. Maybe John Standring?
I think John S. represents a steadfast, gentle sort of love . . . Thornton, a more passionate, intense attachment (not to suggest Standring’s love for Carol wasn’t deep) . . . and there’s happy, funny, sweet Harry and his vicar. One of the few characters to have a happy ending romance-wise. (or should I say a happy ending period. So many of them are dead. 😦 Well, WE know they are really SND).
As North and South was where I first “met” and fell for the gorgeous multi-talented Richard, and his incredible portrayal of John Thornton, he has to be my choice for Valentine’s Day. Off to watch N&S (AGAIN!!) for the rest of the afternoon!! How perfect is that ?? 😀 Yummmmm!!
North and South is where I first fell for Richard, too! I think it is a wonderful role for Richard. It showcases his awesome talent. Not that I don’t love Guy, Porter, Lucas, etc. But it’s a romantic part that is perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Yeah, I felt like Thorton and his foolish passion and gorgeous kiss was perfect for Valentine’s Day, and I hadn’t done a post specifically on the lovely man, yet.
the armitage effect 
It’s Valentine’s Day so I dare to say Mr. Thornton, I love you !
I love Mr. Thornton too… what a shame he doesn’t really exist.. 😦
Well, he does exist–it’s just that he’s inside Mr. Armitage along with Porter and Lucas and Guy and all the rest. 😉
Yes, you are right, of course- I’m just feeling a little jaded today. 😦

I hope you enjoyed the re-watch, Teuchter. As if I need to ask! 😀
