Though admittedly, the recent BBC version did sexify Edward, and he got to be all sweaty and chop wood.
Seriously? I'm still envisioning Hugh Grant v Alan Rickman, where Eleanor seems to have gotten the worse deal.

The thought of Edward getting all sweaty and chopping wood just makes me laugh and laugh.
(Oh, and I'm in the middle of Northanger Abbey at the moment, actually.)
Now I'm being the irritating one calling people the moment they get in the office to test things for me. But at least I'm trying to fix problems?

He did look pretty dorky doing it though, imo.
Totally not! All in Mr. Scola's head.
Except for the part in the beginning where Willoughby is seducing Brandon's ward.
In related news, my friends cats are called Miss Dashwood and Colonel Brandon.

Oh, that's true.
Tom, is that possibly the scene you're thinking of? Because seriously, the kiss between Marianne and Willoughby was pretty chaste.

Oooh, oooh, oooh! That's what I missed. I though it was a flash-forward.

Yay! I think our work is done for the day and we can go home, right?
The fact of the seduction and the ward's having a child as a result is in the novel although the act is not portrayed.

Too funny. I feel like we've just reenacted our own little comedy of manners and mistaken identities right here in the thread.

Art Crawl!!!
No, Andrew Davies told the story in chronological order.
I think that there is no way to make Edward more attractive than Col. Brandon. The Col. Brandon character is just more attractive.
