*nods* Yeah, I get that completely. I mean, it's not like he's ever been that kinda scary waif-thin, but he is still pretty 80s skinny.
I think it's just a case of the combination of being thin and rather pretty. One accentuates the other, or something.
It's probably also because I generally fall for actors through their characters. As a character, Sam Seaborn has an inner and outer strength, and shows off Rob's acting talents well. (I mean that as dodgy as the C-plots were, I never doubted Rob's acting ability in his scenes.)
Whereas I get the impression that quite a few of the 80s characters were just downright dislikeable. Not that I've tested that theory or anything...
