What happens when you meet Richard Rankin? Well his affect on you is almost instant. You may stutter, stammer, and for sure you are smiling, giggling and if you are lucky enough, you are blushing. Richard is charming, sincere and always listening to you. While he is doing all of those things, you are already under his power and are feeling the Rankin Effect.

I have heard tales that there are Outlander fans out there.. somewhere..

I can’t recall when we were first affected with the Rankin Effect, but we know it’s in full swing. I know we fell obsessed with his portrayal of Roger MacKenzine. When we first met him, as he got all tongue tied and awkward around Brianna (Sophie Skelton) as she looked around the house.

Relationships are complicated and dynamic and those within those relationships can be flawed themselves. I find it fascinating. It’s human nature. But who can say?!?

Maybe you got affected, when you first met him at one of his many appearances, and he looks at you and cracks his famous smile. You know what we are talking about. The smile, the smirk, the piercing blue eyes, he is the total package.
