FANMIX: Anam Cara : Thomas Lynley and Barbara Havers (The Inspector Lynley Mysteries-TV)

more or less finished for years! Finally managed to drag it out of mothballs for waywardmixes #24: OTP.
Please excuse the not-very-good covers - Lynley and Harvers deserve better, but these were actually some of my first real attempts into graphics.

Lynley and Havers... *cries softly* This show wasn't always nice to my heart.

*sigh* Oh, I hear you. Still think that if the BBC hadn't had that unfortunate change of management who cancelled the show (idiots), we might have actually seen a Lynley/Havers hookup, end of season 6 or early season 7. Nathaniel and Sharon became BFF's in real life over the course of the show; they probably would have gone for it - they definitely would have pulled it off superbly.

Still think that the only reason they brought back Helen was to kill her off and give Lynley some man-pain (not like the poor bloke didn't have enough fuel as it was!). I know that they were more or less following the book-storyline at that point, but honestly... even if they couldn't get Vicki Lester back (from what I understand, she was on whatever actors call maternity leave), they could at least have cast someone who could actually, y'know, act - and had slightly more chemistry with Nathaniel than a dead fish.

I don't think a show that depended on the bantering/odd-couple chemistry EVER got the couple together, until Castle. If nothing else, I'll

forever bitter that Lynley was simply cancelled. I think Nat Parker will always be bitter about that too.

Yes its true that Nathaniel and sharon are best friends in real life. That's why their acting was so believable . Nathaniel said that he wanted tommy and havers to end up together.
