  1. I knew I recognized her from somewhere! I love that actress, she did a great job - nice to see her in a dramatic role this time! I agree, it's a shame to drop him without at least mentioning him - at least say the character job a job elsewhere or something! It's particularly annoying since they spent time getting him to be with Grace and now they just pretend it never happened. I liked him and was hoping to see him have a greater role this season but I guess no such luck! Sigh.
  2. Did anyone watch the season 2 premiere? I'm a bit confused about the timeline - it seems like minimal time has passed since the previous season and this one, but I'm not sure if they explained the reason for getting a new boss? I believe they said since Sinead ended up going to rehab the new interim charge nurse was Damien but other than her there was no "head boss" person like this new character last season. Also, what happened to Dr. Evan Wallace (the guy Grace was into last season)? They showed him in the season 1 summary in the intro but no mention of him or Grace being in a relationship or anything. Clearly she and that undercover nurse will be a thing this season but it's weird that they had this whole storyline with them as a couple and then just dropped it with no mention at all.
  3. Thank goodness she picked Lucas! Anything else would have been unrealistic from how the season went (and really how the last 3 seasons were with him spending so much more time with her). Lucas courted her all season and deserved his happy ending. Nathan only reminded her of Jack and I'm glad she finally acknowledged that. I'm truly excited for next season to finally be something other than a love triangle.
  4. There is a Canadian version of the promo as well which shows more from the finale and also shows Rosemary saying more of that quote with a different order of images "some for a REASON (Lucas), some for a SEASON (Nathan), and some for a LIFETIME" (Elizabeth alone but in front of the Mountie office). I think if the image placement was intentional it was just to stir interest, not to hint at anything. Here's the link to the promo on their twitter: On a similar note, I definitely think the ending was to misguide us into thinking she'll pick Nathan, but she's choose Lucas in the end. It's a classic Hallmark ending. Honestly part of me thinks she doesn't deserve Lucas but after last night I mostly just want to see him get his happy ending after what he's gone through this season.
  5. After this new episode, it seems obvious to me that Lucas thinks she's still into Nathan after that hand holding scene, but in reality Nathan has already decided to move on (the previews for the next episode seem to give off more of friendship vibe). Nathan will probably end up seeing Fiona next season because the scene with Allie hinted to a possible romance. Plus it looked like she friendzoned Hickam when she was chatting with him. Lucas will be upset for most of episode 11 and Rosemary will be the one who goes missing after she falls off her horse. At some point Lucas and Elizabeth talk about Nathan and he'll (hopefully) tell her how he's feeling . Once Rosemary is found she'll talk to Elizabeth about moving on.. then she takes off her rings goes to find Lucas, they kiss, and the season ends. That's my guess based on all the promos so far! I noticed that too but I think it's a good acting choice on Chris McNally's part. I think after hearing that Nathan told her he loves her (TWICE) he became more guarded. The past few episodes they've been dating steadily, and Lucas had no reason to believe she was still into Nathan because everything she told him sounded like she was done with him. But then she said she just walked away from Nathan instead of outright rejecting him, Lucas felt like there was still no resolution to the triangle and maybe their relationship wasn't as secure as he thought. I think he's silently watching them and eventually it'll be a confrontation with Elizabeth where he finally lets it all out. The poor guy can only have so much patience when she's taking forever to make things official - he seemed heartbroken when he saw them holding hands. Regarding Abigail - the creator also said there's a surprise ending (and the finale is slightly extended by a few minutes) so I wouldn't be shocked if Abigail showed up in the last few moments. Since Lori was in prison until the end of 2020, I'm not sure how she was able to shoot any scenes especially due to COVID because they filmed on a closed set in Canada (which has tighter restrictions) earlier in the year and she wasn't allowed to leave the US at the time since she was about to go to prison. All the mentions of her make me think either they went back recently to film an extra ending scene, making the episode a bit longer, OR they're planning on bringing her back for season 9 and this was all just to prepare everyone for her return.
  6. Exactly! She doesn't know him - and he barely knows her yet says he loves her and wants her to love him back. But they have no common interests. And in this episode it's clear that her only concern is for Allie, her student, and yet he still hasn't set Allie straight about them being together. She acts like a brat when she doesn't get her way and he says he's still going to try to get with Elizabeth even though she's made it clear that she's seeing Lucas now. They're exactly the same and he's a terrible role model. Lucas literally gets better with each episode. That office scene was 🔥. And I love that they continue to progress in their relationship. She's definitely falling for him and wants more. Unfortunately from the promo I think Lucas is going question their relationship and step back once he finds out what exactly she said to Nathan after he declared his love. And then it'll be up to Elizabeth to make a move. Meanwhile Nathan will try to get in with her but I really don't think she'll go for it after this reveal. Why would you want to be with the guy who essentially is the reason why her husband is no longer with her? It's weird enough that he's continuing to pursue her after revealing that. I think that bit of back and forth will be the "don't think it's over yet" part of the triangle they keep teasing but in the end I think it's definitely leaning in Lucas' favor now.
  7. I think I would actually enjoy that triangle way more! 😅
  8. Seriously, if Elizabeth doesn't want a man like him I'll take him! 😂 Maybe Fiona would appreciate him more, she deserves a guy who would give her all the love and sweet gestures!
  9. Lucas came to ask Elizabeth to go for a drive and brought a gift for her to give to Allie and Nathan. She said she didn't want him to have any secret sorrows over PDA so she asked him to walk her home and they held hands, very sweet and definitely had Jack/Elizabeth vibes. Then Clara was getting her dress hemmed in the shop and Jesse was mad about it (no sure why he thinks he gets a say in her dress length) and they both storm off. Christopher picks up flowers Jesse threw aside and gives them to Rachel then he goes to Henry's office and Henry asks Mike to teach Christopher all about the oil business since he's here to stay. Then cut to Ned and Florence. So pretty much uneventful except for the N/L handholding scene lol. This is what I'm worried about - somehow justifying her decision to be with Nathan by ruining Lucas' character or making up some excuse related to Jack that makes her think he's such a wonderful guy she suddenly loves. Personally I wouldn't want to be with a guy who has a strong connection to my late husband (not as a Mountie but if he had any involvement in Jack's death even indirectly) - it would be like replacing him with a poor substitute, just trying to recreate that relationship she had with Jack. I think Elizabeth and Nathan definitely look more like a "classic Hallmark couple" together and personality-wise they also make sense - but his temperament is what makes me dislike him for her. No woman should settle for a grown man who acts like a surly teenager. If he was more light-hearted and actually shared interests with Elizabeth (not just parenting) I would see him as real competition for Lucas. And yes Kevin McGarry and Kayla Wallace (Nathan & Fiona) are dating IRL. Judging from interviews I've seen with them they're definitely not like their characters! He actually seems more outgoing than Chris McNally (Lucas) IRL, but they both seem like great guys. If only Nathan were more like Kevin he would deserve Elizabeth.
  10. I remember her having this actual conversation with Clara right before her wedding - Clara was upset about her vows because she was remembering her first husband (Abigail's son) and Elizabeth said if she could go back knowing what she knows now and how it would all turn out with Jack, she would still choose to love him because their time together was so special even though it was short. So I guess that could be good news for Nathan but then again, her love for Jack doesn't necessarily equal her potential feelings for Nathan. She might say that regarding Jack but it doesn't mean she would feel that same way about Nathan.
  11. Right! And I think we saw a bit of that in the first couple of episodes this season - Lucas said his jealousy got the best of him and skipped town, only to return and immediately apologize to Elizabeth for not saying goodbye. Then he told her he just wanted her to be happy and stepped back after he saw her walking to dinner with Nathan, assuming that was a rejection and only really speaking to her about his mother. He didn't attempt to win her back and "not give up" like Nathan did because he was trying to be respectful of her choices.
  12. Believe it or not I actually read a comment from a Nathan fan who criticized Lucas for telling Elizabeth that Gustav would clean up the dinner plates - apparently "real life is messy and involves cleaning dishes" so they should have shown them cleaning up afterwards instead of having a private chef come pick it up later, because that's just not what life is about. Like seriously? I understand they won't always have a chef waiting on them but this is a DATE - it's okay for Lucas to tell her to not worry about cleaning up! Isn't the whole point of courtship to impress/pamper the girl/guy? When Jack set up their first date in the café he had her STUDENTS waiting on them - and it was all very sweet, so that was okay then but when it's an employee that Lucas is paying it's not okay? If they had kept the date in the saloon Gustav would have cleaned up after them, so why not now? The logic behind their complaints about Lucas is completely ridiculous.
  13. Exactly! As of this point in the story, it makes no sense for her to choose Nathan just because "that's where her heart is" as many Team Nathan fans have said. He hasn't done anything to prove himself to her. No true romantic gestures, no common interests or connections other than them both raising kids alone. Wanting to have kids and a family is an important thing, but Lucas has also mentioned wanting to start a family and has shown interest in little Jack multiple times so that's not a good argument against him. Lucas has gone out of his way to make Elizabeth happy - started a library, gotten tickets to her favorite author's reading, even moving their date to her home to make her more comfortable and close to her son. These are things that most modern women would appreciate in a guy and just show how much he cares. Instead Nathan's fans hold those things against Lucas, as if romantic gestures are too good and "fancy" and make Lucas a bad suitor. The most "romantic" things Nathan has done is tell Elizabeth that he "cares about her" and blurting out randomly (and quite prematurely) "I'm in love with you!" Any modern women these days would run for the hills just like Elizabeth if a guy told them that before they've even had a date or even spent literally any quality alone time together.
  14. If I remember correctly I believe New Year, New Me was the original title of the film when it was supposed to air at the end of 2019. When they rescheduled it to premiere this year instead they changed the title to A New Year's Resolution. The On Demand menu might have some sort of mix up from the original title.
  15. I really enjoyed A New Year's Resolution - of course I'll always watch anything with Michael Rady in it! I think he and Aimee had good chemistry and I think the fact that they started liking each other from the beginning (like her making the first move with her number right after meeting) was nice to see since in most Hallmark movies the leads tend to have a love/hate relationship going on (or something related to getting a business deal/account) so this felt a bit different from the usual Hallmark formula in a good way. The conflict seemed a bit randomly thrown in though, I feel like it could have been set up a bit better from the beginning because it didn't seem very high stakes at all and it was slightly anti-climactic. His hair seemed different to me too! I'll have to rewatch to see if it was the color that was off. Lol the rare Hallmark movie with a mid-movie kiss, scandalous! I was glad to see they actually referred their relationship as "dating" to other people because it's always frustrating in these films when the characters are like "we're hanging out, we're competitors/rivals/friends" and then suddenly they're in love and ready to get married by the end. This one was way more realistic and I think that's what set it apart from other Hallmark movies. Or maybe I've just seen too many reused formulaic Christmas movies this year and the bar is low in comparison, lol.
