I was moved by the scene with a shirtless Smeaton and George made contact. I hope there is more on this affair to come. I think this adds to both the characters. George is a true beauty, and as a gay man - want to see more

I have missed a few episodes, a couple from the end of last season and the first few from this season. This character is a man. He is by Queen Ann's side when she confesses her jealousy in the kings lovers. He comforts her , tells her he loves her, and kisses/ hugs her. please answer me this question anybody. How does he fit in. I guessed he was her brother but I can't remember what her brother looked like.

After reading The Other Boleyn Girl, i fell i love with George's sweet esscence and fun personality. He seemed like the
the ultimate brother and flirty courtier. Does anyone else view him as a nice person that could be trusted? If i lived in Tudor England, i would deinatley befriend him quickly. What are your views on his person? |
