Say Hello to Henry and Henry Pt. One
This is Henry Fitzroy.
He is from the show Blood Ties (2007). He is a 480 year old vampire. When he was alive he was kinda royalty.
This is Henry Durham.
He is from the show Being Human (US Version). He is a little over 100 years old. Before he was turned he was a WW1 medic. A sweet guy really.
Yes they are both played by actor Kyle Schmid.
I think it's great that the same actor was able to play two different vampire characters with the same name, and I love them for two different reasons.
Henry Fitzroy is fun.
He's smart.
He is living his life and has no qualms about being a vampire.
I have not had this much fun watching a vampire on screen in a long while.
Henry Durham is a survivor.
Poor boy is a magnet for trouble.
He was such a sweetums.
Now don't get me wrong. They are vampires and as a human we are food to them, but my goodness we get to know them as people and they are something else.
They are both monsters in their own right and have done monstrous things over the course of their vampire life.
MORE LATER IN PART TWO.

On February 17, 1904, Giacomo Puccini premiered what is now considered one of the greatest operas of all time at the renowned La Scala opera house in Milan: Madama Butterfly. Interestingly, while Puccini felt throughout his life that it was among his best works, his first version of Madama Butterfly was famously a fiasco; he revised and re-premiered on May 28th of that year with the version we know and love today. On the anniversary of the work’s release, 115 years later, CR remembers the tragic origins of Madama Butterfly and how it influenced one of the most storied Parisian fashion houses of all time.
Based on the short story “Madam Butterfly” by John Luther Long, the subsequent play it inspired by David Belasco, and, arguably, the novel Madame Chrysanthème byPierre Loti, Puccini’s Madama Butterfly follows the story of the cavalier Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, a U.S. naval officer stationed in Japan, who marries a former geisha, Cio-Cio San. He obtains a 999-year lease on a house in Nagasaki harbor and places her there, able to end both the lease and the marriage with a month’s notice. Shortly after they wed, Pinkerton abandons Cio-Cio San, only to return three years later with an American wife. When Cio-Cio San learns Pinkerton wants to take the son he fathered with her back to America, Cio-Cio San ends her life. It is a heart-wrenching tale of love and betrayal that has inspired countless art forms since its premieres in 1904, like plays (including M. Butterfly by David Henry Hwang, which comments on the gender and racial inequities in the original story), film, and, of course, fashion...

Ugh trying to assign years and child character ages to a TV show canon that only had 2 seasons of traditional fall-spring US airdates (out of 6 seasons total) is a NIGHTMARE.
Especially when one of those later seasons was split over two years for greedy money reasons and not in-canon reasons #screamsinternally
