I too was searching Youtube for period dramas I hadn't seen and lo an behold, N&S comes up. I watched the whole thing on YT before I could get my hands on the DVD. And now, I feel exactly as rtm, JT is my favorite period drama hero :)<br /><br />@Nat, no fair to make us choose what we like most about JT :( But I ended up choosing "loyalty to his family." Those scenes with his momma get me every time :)Twinkling Moonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-55799727911944518542010-10-20T21:43:37.974-05:002010-10-20T21:43:37.974-05:00I love the whole JT package but I had to pick &quo...I love the whole JT package but I had to pick "loyalty to family", because of the two scenes that had me first attracted to him -- first at the tea scene when he explains how he appreciates his mother for teaching him how to save money which made him the successful businessman he became -- and later when he tells his mother that he is not good enough for Margaret and the whole gamut of expressions on his face as she gives him her pep talk. Even his interaction with his silly sister is all so real and perfect. I do love a good family man!<br />I should mention I also married my husband for his family! :)Phylly3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10551254554577516351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-4247790876416133622010-10-20T21:33:45.792-05:002010-10-20T21:33:45.792-05:00@rtm...loved the "yowza" said it all.

Just these couple of seconds was enough to capture me and not to rest until I found out what it was and then watching N&S in almost one sitting.<br />And the rest since is history...!diveknitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2173914596327749967.post-63283805832911212602010-10-20T05:18:10.845-05:002010-10-20T05:18:10.845-05:00Well this makes me smile & sigh & squee!

I have now watched and rewatched North and South countless times and still find immense pleasure in all the characters, but especially in Mr Thornton *melt*! <br /><br />Today's word verification is "ingly". They seem to have lost the "t", which would describe the effect John Thornton has on me!MillyMenoreply@blogger.com
