Lane Davies, all the way. GT was a fine actor and to be honest I was surprised (and irritated) by how good he was at times. But Lane created the definitive Mason - the emotionally inaccessible character with a lot of sadness in him, which came across even when he was doing those comic drunk scenes. He was the emotional centre of the show, and it was never the same after he left. GT's Mason was a lot more open and carried his heart on his sleeve - which I didn't think fit in with the character.

Are there any male characters like Mason on soaps nowadays? -- Thanh, 22:04:50 10/12/01 Fri

Mason was too important to be written out. People still remember him as the only Mason even with the 2 recasts. That's how great Lane was. -- Barbara, 09:32:14 10/10/01 Wed

Lane was the only Mason.He created Mason and made him alive.Terry Lester and Gordon Thomson created both a new character that wasn't Mason.Their Mason had just Mason's name,but he wasn't the Mason we loved. (NT) -- Catherine, 01:42:08 10/13/01 Sat
