I also like Tony (Michael Weatherly) on NCIS, although he's more goofball than bad boy. :cool: But Chuck is still my favorite for now. Gossip Girl is the show I look forward the most to every week. I agree with Nicole. Even when characters like Chuck do bad things, they are still so fascinating. They're just great characters, even if we probably wouldn't like them in real life.

Even when he's evil, he is so delicious! On Monday's episode, we got a little peak into what makes him tick. In an upcoming episode called "Chuck in Real Life" (episode 7), I suspect we will learn even more. I love <a href="http://www.gossipgirlreport.com" rel="nofollow">Gossip Girl!</a> Another favorite is Benjamin Bratt's character in A&E's new show The Cleaner. He portrays William Banks, an extreme interventionist who feels it's his calling to help people with addictions. A former addict, his family still struggles as he has went from an addiction to drugs to an addiction of helping people, leaving his family feeling neglected.

I can't really like Dexter. I mean a serial killer? I'm afraid I'll start cheering for him to kill people so I stopped watching it. I like watching The Tudors. Everyone is so out for themselves and so manipulative and it's based on history though with lots of liberties. And I don't have any trouble looking at Jonathan Rhys Meyers either though he plays such a selfish prig. I don’t watch a lot of TV either. I can’t really like Dexter. I mean a serial killer?

I love Chuck Bass. He's such a great character -- not to mention I adore those looks that Ed Westwick is able to deliver. I'm a total Chuch+Blair fan and if they don't get together soon -- really together, something may go through my television screen. :razz: I agree 100%. I love Chuck Bass.

I may have to pick up Season 1 on DVD now. :) Other characters I love: Bad boy Sawyer on Lost; Bad boy Dean on Supernatural (I think I'm seeing a pattern here); and it's still new, but the main character played by Simon Baker on The Mentalist might be a mega TV crush soon.

Watching my favorite shows always gets my creative juices going -- and motivates me to write more and bigger and hopefully better. :cool: And while we're talking about heroes, how about Sawyer from Lost? He's one guy who started out as a complete jerk, but now, I think he's the most heroic guy on Lost. When he kissed Kate, then jumped out of that helicopter so she and the others could get off the island ... Sigh ...

Even when he does terrible things, he's fascinating. :cool: I love all the flawed characters on Lost, especially bad boy/ criminal/ but redeemable hero Sawyer.

I wrote a bunch of fanfic based on his series -- even wrote a story about Tessa going through menopause. (I took liberties with canon). As a matter of fact, Blake Windsor in What's in a Name? started out as a Highlander short story. Yes, Anna — Duncan was my inspirtation and my ‘training ground’.
