Following on from my previous post re Book Characters who become like part of the family, I now want to move on to TV Characters who have that something which makes you wish they were your friends, or they have an air or a mystery about them which makes you want to know more about them. Sometimes you just want to know what is going on inside their heads, what is their backstory, what makes them tick etc. – basically characters that intrigue.
The characters who intrigue me are:
Dr. Derek Shepherd – AKA McDreamy from Grey’s Anatomy (Portrayed by Patrick Dempsey). Derek Shepherd is a neurosurgeon, and yes he is very handsome as well a deep and brooding which is why he got his McDreamy nickname. He is a very compassionate man. He is very good at his job as well as being a perfectionist. Everything for Dr. Shepherd is black and white and there is a sadness in him which seems to stem from his father’s murder which he witnessed when he was only a child.
Detective John Cardinal from Cardinal – a show named after its protagonist (portrayed by Billy Campbell). Cardinal is another deep and mysterious man who always seems to have the whole world on his shoulders as he juggles dealing with difficult murder cases and his wife’s manic depression. When you look at his eyes you can see a sadness within them which just makes me want to give him a hug and make things a bit brighter for him!
Jason Bull from Bull – another show named after its protagonist (portrayed by Michael Weatherly). Bull is a trial scientist and is a very intelligent and determined man who hates to lose or be taken for a ride. Again he has a sadness in his eyes which comes from a difficult childhood, but he is a very caring man who always looks out for others – putting their needs before his which can be detrimental to him.
Dr. Doug Ross from E.R (portrayed by George Clooney) – another brooding doctor whose life hasn’t been the best – from a bad childhood to messing up with women and never getting any of his relationships right. However, there is one woman who tries to change him and that is Nurse Carol Hathaway. Dr. Ross is a paeds doctor and goes over and beyond in his work which gets him into trouble more than once, eventually leading to him upping sticks and leaving his job, his friends, Chicago, and even Carol - his one true love – behind, which causes heartache for both of them. But he asked her to go and she wouldn’t…..
So the common denominator between all these men are – they have a deep sadness in their eyes, they are all caring – wanting to fix others either by healing them or finding justice by locking up criminals or proving people are innocent. Oh, and it doesn’t hurt that they are all extremely easy on the eye!!
