I think they have established quite firmly that Elizabeth would not take money from her family. There have been multiple opportunities that she could have asked her father for money for the betterment of the community and in her altruistic self has not asked for money for them...do we honestly think she would fall back on it for herself? She has established that she is determined to be independent. Moving on from Jack in a relatively quick manner is not so far fetched IMO; I say relatively because 1 year ish from his death is not particularly "fast" and perhaps it is one of the few things that is not an anachronism in this show. I just did not buy that J&E are soulmates...sexually attracted to each other, yes; trying to prove to her family that she is in control of her choices, yes; in the throws of first love, yes; shared a common goal of bettering their community, yes. But I didn't feel that it was adequately established that they are soulmates destined to be together for eternity...not so much, for me. I can't figure out why Elizabeth 's mother has not shown up to see her daughter ever, in 5 years...she went to England to care for the eldest daughter after the birth of her baby, yet she has never visited E, gone to her wedding, been present at the birth of her grandchild or helped post birth? Why on earth was Jack's Mom not at the wedding or his funeral? (Yes, I vaguely recall she was "thrown from a horse" or something, but seriously?) Honestly they haven't given me a reason to really want to continue watching, maybe because I binged it and didn't follow it week to week over years? They did get me to binge the whole thing though, lol. I am willing to see where it goes with E and new love interests. I am slightly interested to see where they go with Carson Sheppard, although I suspect that character will fall by the wayside. Oddly wouldn't mind seeing him end up with E (that will never happen). Still think it makes the most sense for E to end up with Charles. I really like and respected him. And I gotta give it to Hallmark for maybe not giving us the happy ending that is their usual bread and butter; life isn't always about happy, pretty packaged endings and this show has certainly keep them out of their comfort zone for, what appears to be, many reasons beyond what the writers have control of!

Just binged it...maybe they could just have called When Calls the Anachronism, wow so incredibly distracting. How long can you draw a courtship? Very LHOP Laura/Almonzo or Dr Quinn. I don't have a problem with killing off Jack, actors come and actors go, but drawing that out as long as they did was unforgivable and then to have J&E get married and kill him off immediately, also unforgivable...better not to have them not marry at all. No issues with E finding a new man, relatively quick, because I never really bought that J&E were soulmates. Best way to finish her character arc...she marries Charles. WCTH is missing the boat by not pursuing the Tom/Julie arc. Abigail gone...thank goodness...take Bill with her, please. It was fun watching LL knowing that for a good part of the time she was filming she was living a completely deceptive lie. Cody...most annoying child character arc. Lee and Rosemary...are at least entertaining. The actor that plays Lee is great. I I really like Henry Gowen. There I have said it! What happens with all the several episode stories/characters, just to have it disappear unresolved? What happened to that lovely couple with the kid Daniel, who couldn't get used to the idea of a stepdad? The genius 16 year old who invented the mine exhaust system? The little red headed girl who ran away to the mine? The dude from the sawmill and the Youst girl from the merchantile? And what the heck with all the failed romances, Bill and (I forget who), Dottie and Henry, how many people can Abigail hook up with in a 3 year period? No one seemed bothered by the mine widows hooking up within a year of their husbands dying, yet are outraged that E is moving on a year after Jack dies? Do we ever find out if Phillip recovers from glaucoma? I found this whole series endearing and incredibly frustrating at the same time. I spent 3 days trying to figure out what the actual time frame is supposed to be...what about WWI, major event in Canadian history, never even mentioned has got to be the weirdest thing EVER. Have not watched season 6 because I am watching via Netfix, so will have to wait for December. Interested to see if they make season 7 work and can move forward or if it is doomed.
