smartiecookie I think Gwen's great! (page: 1 2 3 4 5 ... last page) 103 Thursday, 8:57 PM EDT by witch'saria

I think Angel perfectly encapsulates the role of sweet, kind-hearted, loyal Gwen. I think that it is great that she was chosen to play Guinevere, as she's not your normal,obviously pretty but nothing else type,she is in a way unique and will be remembered among the 'normal'-excuse me' actresses out there.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,so they say. Yes, the romance is in the script, but can't you help but feel that it's just a bit special between them. Just face it that they are going to fall deeper in love as she will end up as his wife and Queen.

The fact is, the creators of the show obviously had many a good reason to choose her, as I'm sure the role was well sought-after by many. She must've stood out,and at the end of the day, she is effectively Guinevere.

AngelofAshes Gwen and Uther Flirting (Manchild clip) 15 Aug 5 2010, 1:43 PM EDT by CorneliusSigan

I just recently discovered this clip from one of Anthony Head's other shows, Manchild. Angel's guest starring and the pair end up flirting!! I found it both hilarious and deeply disturbing to see "Uther" and "Gwen" acting all cute with each other. :P

(Tony appears at around 1:40 if you want to cut forward)
