Although I've made my feelings known on other parts of the blogosphere, I figured it was only fair to mention it here on my little corner of the world. So here's my vote for the sexy, passionate, rough-around-the-edges, gotta-love-him Derek Craven. In my personal version of heaven, he's played by Richard Armitage ala John Thornton (North and South). I leave it to others to hash out the niceties of dialogue and plot. Me, I'm a simple gal. Call it animal instinct. I knows what I likes and what I like looks something like this.
Oh and check out the way his accent gets rougher and less posh when he's emotionally engaged. Yep, that's our Derek all the way! (must-hear parts include 1:33, 1:40, 2:02, and 2:14)
All of the dark romantic angsty fantasy a gal could wish for. Go team Cravenator!

LOL - I watched Part 4 of North and South - stayed up past my bed time too! And now that I have him in my head as Derek - well, it just made the watching experience ever so much better1 *g*
OK - now I watched the clip. What a lovely one it is. It's going to drive me crazy though trying to pinpoint that music in the middle. I KNOW it - WAIT!! I got it!! It's from Cold Case! Ah I can sleep tonight now!.
I watched clips from episodes from NORTH & SOUTH after seeing this on Kristie's blog earlier today. That thud you heard was me swooning. Where has this guy been all my life?
I am getting this series on my Netflix right now!
Me think you need to reread...
LOL I have never seen N&S
Sybil: Oh you really need to see it!! It's one of my new obsessions. North and South and Blood Ties.
It's a marvelous story with tons of repressed passion, stunning backgrounds, a lovely musical score, interesting fashions, a fascinating story - and a hero who could play Derek ;-)
But really - it is wonderful!
I must have this series. I simply MUST! I'm firmly on Team Sebastian but still whoa momma!
