God, I so remember when This aired! Linda and Ron where great together but sadly, after the first episode, I pretty much knew that TPTB would never have the guts to give me a true love scene between Vincent and Catherine.

heck, all these years later, I still mourn that fact!

Yeah, but there's at least 800 million fanfic ones, many of them excellent. :-)

It wasn't suppose to be a show where the main characters have real 'intimate' scenes. It is pure romantic pleasure without any sexual scene. Vincent and Catherine do kiss and they are connected without being together, I mean they can sense each other and that is what made the show so romantic. I loved their relationship, I hate when people get so disappointed that they were never intimate as they wanted.

Most BATB fans I know wanted Vincent and Catherine's relationship to progress to sex. They were in love - why not? You can only go so far on screen and still be tasteful, of course. But they could have done an awful lot better than that stupid lava and roses in the cave scene.

I found the episode...it was the only one I didn't see, because I thought it was only about Joe and Catherine, and not Vincent and Catherine. And it was about both sets of people. Thanks for all your help.

Temptation. :-)

The beauty of Beauty & The Beast, IMHO is the fact that Vincent & Catherine manage to show such devotion, softness, intellect, and passion w/o the need for sex. It's as if this couple, these 2 beautiful people in their own right have found the spiritual side of love w/o the need for consummation. Sure, I believed it would eventually consummate but they found true love in its purest form & they play it out well w/o leaving viewers feeling as if something is missing. It was a fairytale.

[ladylittles]

Me too. Most men didn't like Vincent's character, but he pointed a finger. He made them look at what they were not. Except for his physical characteristics, he was a woman's dream man.

@drdreamer1 Something had to to happen because in the 2nd season she gets pregnant. just wished it could have been shown...

[dixie31623]

I remember an episode (flashback before Cathrine) where it showed Vincent having a crush on a sub-girl who dansed ballet. She got to close to him and 'turned him on' and he ended up almost attacking her. I wonder if that was the writters' way of saying that sex would bring out the beast in him, so let's not.

@BiteMeJohn44 I hope you have the DVDs! =)

[mollyarabella]

I never really got what was Catherine's problem. If Vincent has even looked at me sideways, let alone loved me beyond all measure, I'd be subterrainian faster than he could say "I love you." I'm so there, Vincent! LOL It just never made sense that Catherine didn't succumb. I'd have to be nailed down! Sorry it's all coming back to me now I'm watching the box set of Beauty and the Beast on DVD. I've never wanted a fictional character that bad! It was all Ron Perlman. What a stunner he is. *sigh*

[Ultrahottie2000]

Some how they got to together... In the last season Catherine dies giving birth to Vincent's son who was then kidnapped by Catherine's former boyfriend who was jelous.

[gordiam]

who knows who chose Linda Hamilton to play the role of Catherine? I've heard there were 300.000 women who tried to get that role, but they chose her!one the most beautiful girl on the planet. She's sweet, nice, her face is so perfect! who wouldn't fall in love with her!?

[ladylittles]

@83phatman Well, you were a little boy then and I can see how Vincent would appeal to a child. Remember how Eric wasn't frightened by his appearance at all? Neither was Tony, really. And of course, as an adult, you would still perhaps, love his character. But I did say "most men" of that time, which of course is not an absolute. There were/are many adult males who thought he was cool also..

[ladylittles]

@panacea999 Sometimes. See "Missing in America"

[83phatman]

@ladylittles >> I'm a guy, I was like seven when this show came out, and I thought Vincent was the coolest character on TV.
