Love Actually

Whether it's Harry's affair with employee Mia or the prime minister's pursuit of tea lady Natalie, RadioTimes.com has ranked all the Love Actually couples.

Meanwhile, Martine McCutcheon is unsurprisingly loveable as Natalie from "the dodgy end of Wandsworth" and completely iconic as the centre of the love triangle between the prime minister and the US president (clearly winter is cuffing season, even for leaders of free world).

Freeman and Page may only appear in a few scenes as the professional body doubles who meet whilst filming a sex scene, but they're both incredibly funny and likeable whenever they do pop up on screen. become a pop star and they give you them for free!" Sarah's (Laura Linney) Love Actually story is both heart-breaking and extremely frustrating. However, they're docked a few points for Sam fancying his dead mother's namesake, making the relationship less festive and a bit too Freudian. The only reason Harry and Karen aren't in dead last is because Dame Emma Thompson's Karen deserves so much better than to be sharing a spot on this list with her salivating sleaze-ball husband and his shameless seductress. Juliet and Peter are the second worst couple in Love Actually because they are unbelievably dull. Thanks to Love Actually's Red Nose Day special spin-off, we know Sarah ultimately ends up with Patrick Dempsey so at least her character isn't given a completely tragic ending but the film did starve its audience of what would have been a great sex scene – whilst also robbing that graphic design company's employees of excellent water-cooler gossip. Absolutely nothing – which is why Harry and Mia land at the bottom of this list.

One night about a month before we closed on the house, I decided to show Jon just how serious I was about our commitment. We loved each other in ways no one else had ever loved us, and that was enough. In early 2020, we’d decided to move in together, a decision that was met with approval from all four of our children. We talked about our kids and our jobs, where we’d been and where we wanted to go. As a newly single woman, I needed to feel safe and respected if I was going to put myself out there again. I wasn’t looking for a relationship — with all I’d been through, I thought I’d use the time to decompress, refocus and help my kids navigate their new reality. He had his circle of work friends and I had mine, and aside from the occasional happy hour downtown, we didn’t really spend time socializing with one another. Thompson said, “Love Actually” reminds us that, in “all its messiness, and its unexpectedness, that you’ll find love in the weirdest places.” There had always been a few couples in “Love Actually” that I couldn’t relate to, but at that moment, I connected with Karen. Each story, in its basic form, is about love: first love, unrequited love, the love of a child, lost love, the love of a good friend. I’d just been through a divorce the year before and was still dealing with the aftermath. I loved it so much then, that I saw it twice in one day.

I love the relationship between him and stepfather Daniel, I love that their story crescendoed to the tune of ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’, and I love that it confirms the ‘Rowan Atkinson Is An Angel’ theory at the airport. I’m a big one for huge romantic gestures and carol-singing your way through London on the off chance that you’ll find the house of the girl you love is up there with my top moment. On early watches of Love Actually, I saw John and Judy as mere comic relief, but they are one of the most wholesome couples in the entire movie. It says a lot about how much I hate Colin and am irritated by Mark that Jamie and Aurelia’s ‘love story’ isn’t in the bottom place of this list. With that in mind, I consider myself somewhat of a Love Actually expert—so who better to walk you through each of the plots? As a Brit, I can’t help but cringe at Colin’s humor and on this year’s rewatch I skipped through every single one of his scenes.

There are some characters who’s houses might be plausible on their salaries – primarily the large family homes of Director of a Design Firm Harry (Alan Rickman) on £67,500 and architect Daniel, on just under £50k. Sure we love to hate it – but we also just love it, and that, friends, is what the magic of Christmas is all about. Amid the unlikelihood of ‘ugly’ Colin travelling to America and immediately bedding a harem of hot ladies and Colin Firth’s Jamie successfully proposing to a woman he’d never even had a conversation with, was that somehow, all the characters seemed to live in housing wildly disproportionate to their salaries.

As reported by the Independent, “The relationship was between the headmistress (Anne Reid) at the school attended by Karen’s (Emma Thompson) son and her terminally ill partner Geraldine (Frances de la Tour).” However, to cut short the movie, the makers of the film deleted the love scene between the headmistress and Geraldine. Did Harry and Karen stay with Karen together in the future? There was a lot of pressure, and a lot of touring and I battled with exhaustion and felt unwell. Some of the critics have even called out the film as racist.

It might be for the best this plotline got the axe, but thankfully we got to see this scene. Even the scary headmistress’s life is full of love and loss. Karen and Bernard then meet with the headmistress to discuss his Christmas wish of everyone’s farts being visible.
