Who: Annie (Lenora Crichlow) and Mitchell (Aidan Turner)
Where: Being Human
Annie’s taste in men has always been a bit ropey (her abusive ex pushed her down a flight of stairs to her death remember), but her relationship with Mitchell split Being Human fans into two camps – those who were thrilled that finally the slow burning sexual tension was acknowledged (although it took Annie being dragged through the door into purgatory for the broody one to actually admit his feelings, that’s emotionally stuntedness) and those who were hated Annie’s blindness to Mitchell’s evil. Either way, only the hardest of hearts could fail to be horrified as the relationship unravelled as fast as it came together, as a result of Mitchell’s involvement in the Box Tunnel murders.
As we got to the shocking finale of series three (and with Aidan Turner heading off New Zealand-wards to film The Hobbit ) it became clear: Annie made Mitchell human, she helped him want to be good, but it wasn’t enough…
Any other potential suitors? Loads. Apart from evil Owen for Annie there was also evil Saul (although who wouldn’t go a bit loopy if Terry Wogan was talking to him through the telly?) and nice-but-dim Hugh. Mitchell meanwhile had Lauren, Lucy, Daisy, Josie and even a flirtation with Lia. Although he did meet her after following Annie into purgatory to save her, so that garners major brownie points.
Star-crossed lovers or happy ever after? No happy-ever-afters here. Once Daisy and Mitchell went on their killing spree, it was only a matter of time before Mitchell’s horrific actions caught up with him. He and Annie didn’t stand a chance.
Think of the children! Annie’s lack of corporeal form makes procreation rather awkward – and after that hideous attempt at a threesome (with her “possessing” another woman to act as a kind of sex avatar) it’s probably best surrogacy wasn’t looked at as an option.
