The Old Man's daughter is watching it with me and she totally agonizes when an episode ends and she has to wait another week to find out what will happen next! LOL It's great fun!

I would have to hear him speak to really be sure, but as for the look of him, I agree. He looks like Lord John.nigheandubhhttp://outlanderbookclub.freeforums.org/index.php?sid=79f98fa92be55bf7e07237de4b8c77d1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-4991623201346401562011-01-19T02:16:34.738-05:002011-01-19T02:16:34.738-05:00I am really enjoying Downton Abbey.

Lord John is a kind man with a definite sense of humor, but he also is a career soldier who is capable of gouging a man's eye out (as he did to Adams at the end of BOTB). The ideal actor would need to be able to portray both sides of him.<br /><br />KarenKaren Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07635855088490793965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-50858852106149451392011-01-18T09:43:01.049-05:002011-01-18T09:43:01.049-05:00Dear Karen,

The character I have my eye on (and have ever since seeing 'North & South') is John Bates, who is played by Brendan Coyle. Any ideas how he might be cast in the Outlander saga?Sallie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080738200466803669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7379581147262228210.post-10606977898029632752011-01-18T08:27:13.631-05:002011-01-18T08:27:13.631-05:00Yep, pretty much fits my idea of John too.
