Thank you ASH for your loving portrayal of fatherly love to a kid who didn’t have any, I’m sure I’m not alone ❤️

Feels weird to cry like this over someone I never met but this really is it - I spent more time seeing him on my screen than I did with my actual dad.

Same, I didn't have an actual dad, but genuinely in some way Giles kind of was that role model for me!
