He's not really a character much? Like, he's just there to be handsome and desirable and nice, and he fits the bill?

Like, what I most like about the Geraldine/Harry relationship is that it's INCREDIBLY RARE (if not non-existent) to see an unapologetically fat woman in a relationship with an incredibly (conventionally) attractive man, where he's shown to actively desire her. And so for me, having an actor who I find attractive in that role was an even better thing.

But like, it's just supposed to be sweet and over-the-top and a little silly? So I'm not sure how amazing you were expecting his acting to be, it's pretty much on the level of the rest of the show.

The thing is, if you're watching the episode for Harry/Armitage? You're really doing it wrong. This isn't the Richard Armitage Show, it's a long running show with its own mythology gags and quirks and he's coming in for a double Christmas episode to tie up some lose ends so that Gerry gets her happily ever after. It makes no sense to come into this one episode for the Armitage and with no history of the show and expect brilliance. He's the straight man in the episode and the stranger and not the one you should be there for. (I send people who have just discovered Armitage his episodes of Spooks and North & South and Robin Hood happily, but tell them they need way more context for this one.)

ILU for this. So much. ♥♥♥♥

This. Harry's not there to be a complex character, he's there to be funny and adorable and to have floppy hair. I thought he did a fine job of it, and especially loved how much playful humor and chemistry he and Geraldine had. That's wonderful to see in ANY onscreen romance, but it was even more awesome because nobody ever acts like Geraldine's unworthy of love and happiness and sexytimes because she's overweight.
