Top 10 Gaskell characters?

Hi! This is difficult, and I feel guilty because there are still Gaskells I haven't read, and I'm not 100% satisfied with my choices, but here goes nothing:

10. Lady Harriet from Wives and Daughters

9. Hyacinth Clare from Wives and Daughters

8. Lady Ludlow from My Lady Ludlow

7. John Thornton from North and South

6. Nicholas Higgins from North and South

5. Miss Matty from Cranford

4. Squire Hamley from Wives and Daughters

3. Cynthia Kirkpatrick from Wives and Daughters

2. Laurentia Galindo from My Lady Ludlow

Roger Hamley from Wives and Daughters

I would have elaborated on each, but I started and it basically boiled down to "too lovely, too pure" (Roger, Miss Matty), "fascinatingly complex AND she pulls it off" (Cynthia, Lady Ludlow, Squire Hamley, Miss Galindo to a certain extent) and "not as complex as B, but treated with such fairness/compassion/understanding" (Thornton, Higgins) and "schadenfreude" (Lady Harriet and Hyacinth).

Ask me my top5/top10 anything!

Hello I have decided to finally write the Mary Smith/Miss Galindo fanfic that’s been in my brain for like five years. No one in the universe cares about this ship other than me and they barely even interact in canon, but I no longer care.

After recovering from the explosion, Mr. Carter returns to work and to Miss Galindo. A birthday gift for brenna-louise.

"RETURN TO CRANFORD" (2009) Review

"RETURN TO CRANFORD" (2009) Review Due to the success of the 2007 miniseries, "CRANFORD", the BBC aired a two-part sequel called "RETURN TO CRANFORD" (also known as the "CRANFORD CHRISTMAS SPECIAL"), some two years later. Like the original miniseries, it was adapted by Heidi Thomas and directed by Simon Curtis. 

"RETURN TO CRANFORD" was based on material from Elizabeth Gaskell’s two novellas and a short story - "Cranford", "The Mooreland Cottage", and "The Cage at Cranford", were all published between 1849 and 1863. Also, themes from "My Lady Ludlow", "Mr. Harrison's Confessions", and "The Last Generation in England" were included to provide continuity with the first miniseries. The new miniseries took place between August and December 1844. The citizens of Cranford find themselves facing major changes in their society, as the railroad continues to be constructed near the edge of town. In fact, I was surprised to learn that a great deal of the story surrounding the new railroad was not in any of Gaskell’s novellas and short story. Only the storylines featuring about Mrs. Jameson’s (Barbara Flynn) cousin, Lady Glenmire (Celia Imrie) and Captain Brown (Jim Carter), Miss Pole’s (Imelda Staunton) Parisian “cage” for her pet cockatoo, and a magician named Signor Brunoni (Tim Curry) putting on a show came from Gaskell’s works. I have to be frank. It did not bother me that most of the material featured in the miniseries did not come from any of Gaskell’s novellas and short stories. Thanks to some decent writing by Heidi Thomas, I believe that it all worked out fine. Unlike the 2007 miniseries, "CRANFORD", the screenplay for "RETURN TO CRANFORD" seemed tighter and more focused. In fact, I noticed that the majority of major storylines featured in the miniseries have ties to the main story about the railroad’s construction. Because of this, "RETURN TO CRANFORD" avoided the episodic style of storytelling that I believe marred "CRANFORD". My favorite storyline featured the budding romance between two newcomers to the town of Cranford – William Buxton (Tom Hiddleston), the Eton-educated son of a salt baron (Jonathan Pryce) and Peggy Bell (Jodie Whittaker), the daughter of a less-affluent widow (Lesley Sharp). Mr. Buxton wants William to marry his ward, the Brussels-educated Erminia (Michelle Dockery). But neither are interested in each other. And Peggy has to deal with her ambitious and greedy brother, Edward (Matthew McNulty), who dislikes William. What I liked best about "RETURN TO CRANFORD" was that most of the storylines were tied to the new rail line being constructed near Cranford - even the William/Peggy romance. As much as I hate to admit it, "RETURN TO CRANFORD" had its problems. Another storyline featured the problematic pregnancy suffered by Miss Matty’s maid, Martha Hearne (Claudie Blakley). The problem arose, due to the lack of doctors in Cranford. And I found this confusing. The 2007 miniseries ended with two doctors residing in the town – the recently married Dr. Frank Harrison and longtime resident Dr. Morgan. A year later, both no longer resided in Cranford and Heidi Thomas’ script never revealed their whereabouts or fate. Thomas’ real misstep featured the death of Lady Ludlow (Francesca Annis) and the arrival of her ne’er-do-well son, Septimus (Rory Kinnear). The latter’s attempt to cheat young Harry Gregson (Alex Etel) out of the money he had inherited from the late Mr. Carter was a poorly conceived and written storyline. And despite the built-up, it failed to have any real impact upon the Harry Gregson character, due to its vague ending. As much as I found Signor Brunoni’s Christmas show rather charming, I thought it also reeked of a sentimentality that made my teeth hurt. Especially when Miss Matty’s reunion with Jem Hearne (Andrew Buchan) and his daughter entered the picture. The production design for "RETURN TO CRANFORD" was top notch as ever. And Alison Beard’s supervision of the costumes proved to be just as first-rate as Jenny Beavan’s work in the 2007 miniseries. The cast continued its first-rate work from the previous miniseries – especially Judi Dench as Miss Matty Jenkyns, Imelda Staunton as town gossip Octavia Poole, Francesca Annis as the aristocratic Lady Ludlow, Emma Fielding as her assistant Laurentia Galindo, Alex Etel as Harry Gregson, Julia McKenzie as Mrs. Forrester, Jim Carter as Mr. Brown, Alex Jennings as the Reverend Hutton and Barbara Flynn as the pretentious Mrs. Jamieson. But the newcomers that impressed were Tom Hiddleston as William Buxton, Jonathan Pryce as the tyrannical Mr. Buxton, Jodie Whittaker as Peggy Bell, Celia Imrie as the earthy Lady Glemire and Tim Curry as the warm-hearted magician Signor Brunoni. For a while, I had been reluctant to watch "RETURN TO CRANFORD". Because it was a sequel to the 2007 miniseries, I figured that it could never be as good as "CRANFORD". I was wrong. I do not know if I would consider it better than the first miniseries. But the latter is certainly not better than the sequel. And ”RETURN TO CRANFORD” does have one major advantage . . . namely Heidi Thomas’ screenplay turned out to be more tightly written, due to her decision not to use much of Elizabeth Gaskell’s material. Personally, I find that rather ironic.

An Honourable Estate by Siggy (Rated M)

Fandom: Cranford Pairing: Laurentia Galindo/Edward Carter Title: An Honourable Estate Author: Siggy Link: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4415008/1/An-Honourable-Estate Rating/Warning(s): Rated M Word Count/WIP?: 102,074/No Recced on LiveJournal By: crazymaryt Special Rec: 6/20 Why This Must Be Read:This is a wonderful AU where Mr Carter lives. I like what the author does to change his fate. It works well for the Crandford story we see in the series. Getting to see Miss Galindo and him fall in love is delicious. And we get all the interaction with the others of Crandford. The story is fluffy and hot and the couple gets a happy ending. Which I have no problem with. It’s multi-chapter heaven. Mods can I get a fandom tag for Cranford and a ship tag for Laurentia Galindo/Edward Carter? Originally Posted At: http://het-reccers.livejournal.com/1093188.html
