Title: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Taeylor Collins on July 02, 2008, 09:53:28 PM
I have to vote for David Selby.  WHEW.  That man was HOT like scorching!!  He was so handsome.  Plus I am from the south so when his southern accent comes through it makes me melt.  Nice chest and beatiful eyes as well.   Who is the hottest male to you?

I would have to say Don Briscoe.  Beautiful eyes, gorgeous smile, great tits *wink* the man simply had it all!

I know this isn't what was intended in the thread, but I would have crawled over broken glass to have joined Louis Edmonds and Thayer David for drinks one evening at the Brittany du Soir.  Those two were so sophisticated, literate, wonderful gentlemen, and from what I have been able to determine, in real life were perhaps even more fascinating than the characters they played with such poise on the show.

Barnabus.  It's always been Barnabus. 

I was so in love with him when I was a kid.  I thought he was the most handsome man I'd ever seen.
I remember staring at his picture in my Tiger Beat magazine and just being so sure that I would grow up and marry him.
Then we'd go live in a castle and he'd get me a kitten and a canopy bed.

Post by: Miss_Winthrop on July 04, 2008, 01:57:32 PM
Barnabas was 'hot' in a different way than Quentin.  Barnabas was more subtle and had an underlying sexiness that drew you in.  It was that wonderfully expressive face and underlying sadness that was so attractive.  And yes his voice was the most sexy of all the men on the show and he didn't even have to work very hard at it's effectiveness.

Definately the Count Petofi character played by Thayer David. Other honorrable mentions:

i) David Selby with the disfigured face in 1897

ii) The head of Judah Zachary guy (particularly while inside the glass case)

iii) Aged Lara Parker (in 1968)

iv) The guy who played the werewolf

Garth Blackwood, what I like about you is that if I say, in a very small, completely nonjudgmental voice, "Um...excuse me...I wasn't aware that Lara Parker was male," you will then proceed to explain to me how and why Lara Parker is indeed a male.

Quentin is by far the hottest male!  [Wolfie] But I must admit, I loved Barnabas the best when I was a kid.  [Bat]

Others who are hot to me are Joe, Chris, and Jeff.  [luv] I have found, though, that as a middle-aged woman,  I am quite attracted to some of the older men, also:  Professor Stokes, Sam Evans, Burke Devlin (both of them, especially the first one)!   [ghost_cheesy]

You know what's scary!? [ghost_shocked] Most of the actors were younger then than I am now!  [ghost_undecided] I used to think they were old!  [ghost_wink]

but the winner for me is that hunky fisherman joe haskell especially in the early episodes with the crew-cut and plaid work shirts.dreamy.

JF as Barnabas Collins stole my heart when I was 7 years old.  I have come to appreciate the qualities many of the other male actors have (must mention Karlen, Mitch Ryan, Don Briscoe and Joel), but Jonathan Frid IS THE MAN when it comes to heat because he isn't classically sexy.  His raging sex appeal is in the way he carries himself, the eyes that you simply MUST look into when shown up close, and as several others have mentioned, that voice.  Quick, pass the smelling salts, I'm gettin' the vapors over here!  LOL

Gosh, you're more tolerant than I am, GB!

As for hottest male...at the moment I'd have to say Jerry Lacy's Tony Peterson.  Every time he's been on an episode during the Watching Project, I have wanted to go into paroxysms of praise in my post for that episode.  In the end I was sternly telling myself, "Enough, already!"  And now he's gone forever from the Watching Project, and I'm crying myself to sleep every night.

Him being my favorite character and all, I always found Barnabas more handsome than sexy, very nice to look at. Having said that, I found Bramwell way more sexy. Desmond, Kendrick, and Quentin (1840) also had me going ga-ga.

I admit I don't think JF is sexy in looks.  However, his deep voice, his longing, and the way he played Barney made him very sexy to me.  I had a hard time getting past his stained teeth.  LOL Hope I didn't step on toes.  Theygrossed me a bit.  HOWEVER, at times he came across very sexy.  I would have let him bit the hell out of me. :)

Hottest male for me would be - drumroll, please.....   DON BRISCOE!

But since that's old news to those who have read my many Briscoe-esque posts, I've reflected on the topic question, and I actually have a runner-up to Don for "Hot DS Male": John Karlen (on a good day). As mentioned earlier, great eyes!

I sort of get that, because there are times I can't believe they let him in front of the cameras looking like that.  But I think many people back then took smoker's teeth more in stride than they do now.  And it's worth noting you never see that on his later pics.  Julie  :)

I have to admit that yes the elder Garner was a classically handsome man.  Sometimes older men are overlooked when comparing men in the looks department.  It may sound strange but I thought that Mark Allen, the original Sam Evans, looked like he might clean up real well.  [ghost_happy]

I've been thinking of Barnabas's teeth and the first time through the episodes I never noticed the smokers teeth but once someone mentioned them, I am sure now to notice them everytime I watch the episodes.   [ghost_cheesy]
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Lydia on July 11, 2008, 12:25:25 PM
Miss Winthrop, I think Emerald Rose meant the younger Garner, but I have to agree with you.  Young Frank Garner was a little too sweet to be hot, but the elder, Richard, had the basics.
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Jackie on July 13, 2008, 04:50:30 PM
Barnabas, Quentin, Willie, Nicholas, Chris, Ben.... [not in any particular order except Barnabas and Quentin ARE my first choices].  Actually I think all the main male actors added a degree of "hotness" to their characters, depending on the scene they shared with another.
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Barnabas'sBride on July 13, 2008, 09:31:59 PM
Barnabas is it for me.

Second would be Quentin. Third would probably be Willie in the earlier episodes.

I think Chris and Joe were both cute, but cute is different than hot for me. Mitchell Ryan's Burke was classically handsome, but I didn't find him hot.
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Taeylor Collins on July 14, 2008, 01:52:27 AM

Two words: Don. Briscoe. [love10]

Barnabas is definitely sexy. Especially in the early days because he's all mysterious. [vampy] But he definitely keeps his sex appeal throughout the show (except when he's playing Bramwell, but I just plain don't like Bramwell); period clothing suited Jonathan Frid really well.

And, even though we're all well aware of this, I have to add that David Selby is definitely very handsome. But, in my opinion, once Quentin dropped the Victorian costumes and stopped being such a jerk, he wasn't all that sexy anymore. He wasn't the same without that edge he had in 1897 (most of 1897, anyway). [woryb]

Post by: Janet the Wicked on August 27, 2008, 11:52:57 PM
Willie, whenever he bent over. His pants were tight, most likely due to the fact that JK loves good food.
But, believe me, I honestly don't know how he got into those black pants. YOWSER!
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Taeylor Collins on August 28, 2008, 07:08:40 AM
I would have to agree. I never really noticed how HOT John Karlen was until recently.  And YOWSER is right. Those pants were tight!  One wonders how they got away with this on a 60's daytime show when men's packages were obviously very noticeable!!
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Miss_Winthrop on August 28, 2008, 12:26:28 PM
Speaking about tight pants, I thought that David Soul in Salem's Lot had one of the best looking bodies meant for tight jeans. [ghost_grin].....but now that you mention it, JK's pants were tight.  During the 60's and 70's men's styles did define the male body a little better.  Now days, the looser and baggier the more in style a man is.  I do hope that will change someday.  [ghost_wink]

DS had lots of sexy men, Quentin, Chris, Willie were all very attractive men, but my biggest crush was Joe, he was hella hot, and besides being physically beautiful he gave off a really sweet sincere personality, like he'd make a great husband. THe scene where Julia cuts his shirt open after Angelique left him for dead  is the hotest scene on all of DS for me. Woof woof!
Jeff is my second choice, also a very handsome man, and very devoted to Vicky. I've mentioned before how ethusiastic he was in his love scenes. You get the impression Jeff was one horny dude! He paws at Vicky ( and even Ned paws at his sister Sabrina ) like a junkyard dog in heat.
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Taeylor Collins on August 29, 2008, 05:23:49 AM
I agree that the Joe scene was probably the hottest on DS.  I don't find Roger Davis sexy because well frankly he annoys me and if he pawed me like he did Victoria (in public) I would smack him upside the head. I don't mind to be pawed in privacy [ghost_wink] but I am not a big fan of PDA whether you are straight or gay.  If you give a little kiss or hold hands fine but I cannot stand for people to make out in public.  UGGHHH! [ghost_mad]
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Miss_Winthrop on August 29, 2008, 02:02:21 PM
Speaking of sexy scenes, while I do agree with the nice viewing of Joe's chest, a few other scenes come to my mind also as rather sexy.  They are, the scene where Bramwell is fixing his tie after making love with Catherine, the scene with Kendrick and Melanie lying on the bed, fully clothed however still breathless and the scene where Josette is lying on her bed with a really dreamy look on her face after Barnabas had left her bedroom. I can find a scene sexy even if the people are fully clothed.  I rather wonder if the new movie will be able to convey  'sexy' without the ripping off of clothes or, if the writers will succomb to many of today's audience's taste for 'slam bang thank you mam' passing for desire.
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Misty on August 29, 2008, 02:51:16 PM
Oh, you are so right, Miss Winthrop! There are so many sexy scenes in the old B/W movies---and I mean HOT----that tease the imagination and make these scenes much more memorable. In DS, the same is true. The scenes you mentioned are more meaningful than a trail of clothing leading to an explicit scene which requires no thought process!!

Post by: Miss_Winthrop on August 30, 2008, 02:50:58 PM
Yes, to each his own.  Too much instant gratificaton doesn't lend itself too much of a build up of sexual tension and once we actually see the physical act, it gets boring really quickly IMO. I thought one scene that seems really erotic is the scene where Barnabas appears in Charity's room and she submits to him.  The scene where Quentin is dancing with Charity in the fantasy sequence isn't the least bit sexy to me but to some friends of mine, it is. 
Title: Re: To YOU who is the hottest male on the original?
Post by: Taeylor Collins on August 30, 2008, 10:55:38 PM
I agree with you on the Charity scene Miss Winthrop that is truly a very erotic scene.  I do love shirtless boys however, I too at times enjoy the tension a scene like Charity and Barnabas' conveys.  And on a current soap I watch I enjoy scenes like this that kind of lets you decide what happens.  Thankfully General Hospital is probably the soap that doesn't RESORT to skin on a daily basis. Sometimes they go a month without sowing a shirtless man or half dressed woman.  That is saying a lot for soaps today.  A lot of people actually gripe but I think it makes the show better instead of looking like a show that comes on everyday to show off hot bodies. I would much rather have good stories than have nekkidness all the time.  IE--Passions!!

Hey JW (I hope you don't mind me shortening that) are some pictures of Joel.  I don't have a fancy screencapture program on my comp. however I have a good digital  camera and take a lot of pics of DS. I think they turn out pretty good to be just snapped from the screen with a camera! Now this is Joel in episodes you haven't seen, however they aren't really that spoilerish.  Hope everyone enjoys!

He was a precious doll and so good looking and from what I have read a dear man.  We miss ya Joel.  [hall2_sad]

He has a PERM!!!??? Or does he have curly hair.???  [hall2_cry] [hall2_cry]

Well, perms were quite the thing in the '70s.  There's a reason that time is called "the decade that taste forgot."

I don't think it's a perm.  You can tell Joel has curly hair by the way he keeps it cropped in DS.  Look at the texture, trust me I used to do hair!  :) LOL  You can see curl in it.

Can somebody make screencaps of Joe's shirtless scene? Yum, that is one sexy scene!
That was a cute pic of JC from'73. I prefer him with shorter hair but he was still adorable in his cut off shorts. What a heartbreaker!

While looking for something that I alluded to in the "Vicki's Mother" topic, I came across this. Why do I suspect the people following this topic might enjoy it?  [hall2_grin]

I keep coming back here periodically.  It's very strange.   Anyway, what's JC doing in that shot exactly I wonder?      It's like he ripped a bag in half but not completely, then found some hunk of something-or-other that he felt a great need to pick off of it, maybe a nice piece of Halloween candy corn, and he stopped halfway in the dressing process to do this.

The media may be heterocentric, but who gets all the good soft porn on DS?  You guys do!

With Eve, the only naked moment I get is:   [female_skull]

Considering it was about 40 years ago and (at least where I live) the plastic grocery bags hadn't made their appearance yet, I think it looks like he's removing a white dress shirt from its packaging. 

He really had gorgeous eyes.  I would cast my vote for best looking in favor of David Selby though.

My personal fantasy is that the photos of Joel Crothers from the Seventies continue with less and less clothing until he is wearing nothing but a thong.  Now, that's MY idea of a Dream Curse!

Of course, my REAL fantasy would end with a happy, smiling, uh ... *festive* Joel *cheeky grin* in his best outfit, i. e., his birthday suit...

I think it's past time for the bulging Lieut. Forbes crotch floatie to make its next spectral appearance!

Sign me up for the Briscoe version.

But of course, where' the CURSE part of the Dream Curse in all this?

The curse is that you only get to look--you can't touch.  *pout*

Then--and now--my vote would go to Joel Crothers. Anyone else remember the soap hunk calendar he did when he appeared on Edge of Night?

No! But I would love to see the soap hunk pictures! Are they online?  I love Joel Crothers. He oozed sexiness!  :)

Don't think the pictures are online. I vividly remember seeing the calendar in the stores back then. Joel was on Edge of Night at the time and he looked amazing.

I would have to agree Nancy.  Joel, Don and David just oozed sexiness too me. :)  For some reason Tom Welling reminds me on David Selby.  I could see him playing QUENTIN (don't scream at me guys) I am sure there are better actors. His blue eyes, the jaw line, the hair all remind me of David when he was younger of course! :)
