Lovely post, Laura. And I know how you feel - remember, I fell flat in love with Francis Crawford when I was fourteen!
Looking back, I think I was always fond of the "grey" characters, with wit and intelligence and moral ambiguity to spare! You're too young to remember some of these, but back during the heyday of tv westerns, my faves were Yancy Derringer (a gambler and con man), and Paladin (a bounty hunter) and later, the charming "bad boys" of "The Rogues."
And btw, you missed out one of the most ambiguous of 'em all - Kerr Avon, of Blake's 7!
