>John gently touches her face with his right hand and she looks up. He moves his arm slowly round to the back of Margaret's neck as they lean towards each other. John inclines his head to the left and their lips touch. John increases the firmness of his hand on the back of Margaret's neck and deepens the kiss. Henry watches from the train. John lifts his other hand to cup Margaret's face and his thumbs stroke her cheeks as the kiss continues<
His hand never quite made it completely to the back of Margaret's neck but it came close...perhaps deemed too bold for the era, when we consider that a smoldering kiss in a public place probably would've sent shock & awe through actual 19th century passersby :)
In two most recent RA on-screen kisses his hand did come completely around to the back...

There's never been a film kiss to surpass the utter perfection of the North and South kiss, so if that's Richard's signature kiss, he's king of the kisses! All his characters are very tender lovers.
There really wasn't enough love for John Porter in Strike Back. And I hope Lucas is allowed some tender loving before dire secrets are revealed!
Enrich, the scene w/Sarah, in Lucas' apt after the Russian left, was not exactly tender. Altho' she was up for it and gave him a strong shove back. Then in frustration he started throwing chairs around.
Didn't Richard mention during an interview that a female from Lucas' past makes a reappearance for S9, w/romantic overtones?...will be closely watching the kisses...haha..as if I didn't already.
Sarah just doesn't count as love, a passing addiction perhaps, but certainly not love! I understand why he wasn't tender with her. Lucas deserves some good loving after Sarah and Elizaveta and before anything drastic happens to him (Richard's hints)!
Just the thought of those lips... He is the king of kiss.
IMHO, Sarah might not have been everyone's preference as a love partner for Lucas, but he certainly exhibited the classic signs of a smitten male. Yes, he was thinking w/something other than his brain, but that's true for the vast majority of men. If it wasn't for the powerful hold basic human instincts have over the male of the species, there would rarely be a need for wedding dresses, etc;)
Be grateful ladies - if wisdom was the dominant drive steering a man's libido, we'd truly be powerless in matters of the heart. LOL When asked, the majority replying to the "do you believe in love at first sight?" poll responded that it should be called "lust at first sight". We'd like to think the spark of love was ignited by our keen intelligence or their discriminating taste, but it's usually a simple matter of mother nature lighting the fire w/the usual time-tested erotic kindling.
As for Lucas & Sarah in particular, he appeared to grieve as deeply as someone who had lost a loved one. And, why did he mutter "take me with you" to her after he learned she was one of the rogue intelligence officers? Apparently he still felt a deep attachment even at that point.
Lucas & Sarah? Weird script-writing? Or after accepting Elisaveta is forever lost, and being "away" a long time, probably a sitting duck for even stringy blond hair (not a great decision for the make-up dept. Or was it..?)
I had studied his kissing technique. I notice that he tends to cup a woman's face in his hands and guide his lips to hers (phew!!!) probably to make it easier to keep his nose out of the way of hers. It does seem to cause a problem of where the lucky female rests her hands while his arms/hands are around her face. (I.E. Ultimate Force, VOD) as normally a woman would reach up to a man's neck but with his arms in the way she usually has to make a grab for his elbow, making it a little awkward. (I could think of better places!)Dawn French kissing him on her wedding day is a prime example of this.
