treeofdreams April 3, 2021 Share April 3, 2021 Nathan is like a Ken doll. Pretty to look at, but there is nothing to him but a red jacket and a niece. Lucas at least has a personality, and brings out the smiles in Elizabeth. Besides, he is my type. 4 Link to comment
dubstepford wife April 3, 2021 Share April 3, 2021 I can kind of see what they're going for with Nathan. The people who say that Lucas' dates are too elaborate, the library is too fancy, etc., it is true that originally Elizabeth moved West to get away from a life of luxury. That's what her family offered and she didn't want it. I'm guessing Team Nathan sees him as more of a rustic, simple life kind of guy. He's basically Jack 2.0 and this was the same conflict of Jack vs. Charles in Season Two, where Charles represented luxury and Jack represented simplicity. I get that. Problem is though that Jack was also sweet. We've seen none of his tenderness from Nathan. Nathan has the red serge but is standoffish and mean, except when he's making random declarations of love that are a) out of nowhere, and b) seem a little possessive and creepy. I'm about 90% sure that Nathan is endgame since the books romanticize the Mounties and Hallmark romanticizes the military, and if they had developed Nathan a little more I'd be onboard because I love me some Kevin McGarry, but as it stands this is just perpetuating this idea that women are attracted to men who treat them poorly, which is yuck. And it's especially yuck considering this channel has been criticized a lot for regressive social values. 8 Link to comment
allonsyalice April 3, 2021 Share April 3, 2021 (edited) Ok so Ive been really busy (ironically, i’m debuting a book. elizabeth can only dream.) i’m catching up on this show. (forgot it existed and I’ve been channel all my bad costume energy to the Frankie Drake Mysteries (rip)) honestly, this show is not that good. I’m on episode two and yeah, I’m gonna keep watching but nothing happens. There are two good characters. It’s 2021 and i still love Lucas Brouchard 😭. Why are all the women wearing sheer tops? In episode two, there was one you could see Pascale Hutton’s undergarments through. I wasnt trying, either. seems like they’ve added the necessary one (1) token Black character. Only took 8 seasons. Good for them. this post is a ramble (much like the show) is this the end? It should be. It’s the most nothing show. Also, I hope Elizabeth realizes she doesn’t need a man. Having her fall for Nathan seemed disrespectful to Jacks memory (did she love him or the uniform🤷🏾♀️) and although I like Lucas, I like women characters who dont need a man to survive more. Ok also this show doesn’t know what to do with their characters. Since when on earth does Fiona care at all about hair? And she opened a barbershop?????

I haven’t read the book(s?) this originated from or seen the movie, so I’m assuming that’s how they ended. But this show has already done that once! IRL it would be perfectly reasonable for Elizabeth to not even consider, much less marry, another Mountie after what happened to Jack. Literally 99% of the things you see on this show did not happen in the books - like even the Mountie isn't named Jack, but Wynn. He and Book Elizabeth marry within a few months of meeting (both families are totally fine with the match) and they remain together til old age. None of the characters on the show are in the books, except for Elizabeth's sister Julie. 2 Link to comment

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. 6 Link to comment

Dammit, Hallmark, can’t a female character be allowed to know her own mind? Yeah, that's not a good message Hallmark is sending women. As to Elizabeth "knowing her mind", the reason she gave Nathan for not wanting to be with him was her fear that tragedy could strike her twice with a Mountie for a husband, rather than flat out telling him she doesn't love and can't see herself ever doing so. Heck, she even told Rosemary that when she heard (incorrectly) that Nathan was shot, Elizabeth realized that she did have feelings for Nathan. If Elizabeth and Lucas are Endgame, show will have to make it very clear that she loves Lucas wholeheartedly and unreservedly, without any shadow of longing/flirtation toward Nathan. So far, that's not what I'm seeing. I wish Rosemary or someone else Elizabeth is close to could ask her this: if you knew from the very beginning that Jack would leave you a widow, would you: A) never want to have a romance with him at all, knowing tragedy is in your future; or B) still decide to love/marry Jack knowing there's an expiration date because you would rather have had him in your life for even a brief time, rather than not having in your life at all I feel like, to some extent, if that Q were put to Elizabeth, that would clear things up w/r/t Nathan once and for all. 5 Link to comment
treeofdreams April 4, 2021 Share April 4, 2021 It's a good question, but hard to answer. Typically, she would probably say something about little Jack and how she wouldn't have him if she never married Jack. I did not start watching the show until the season where Lucas and Nathan joined the cast, so I never saw her relationship with Jack. But I get the impression that it was a "great love". On the other hand, she does not seem to have that kind of feeling for either Nathan or Lucas, so it would be hard to answer the question based on that difference. If she did have that feeling for either of them, it would be a clear choice. How do you compare "he was the love of my life" with "I really like both of these men"? 5 Link to comment

Ned and Florence never made googly eyes at each other until this season (so, 6 episodes?) but now they’re getting married?!?! 🤣🙄 Based on the preview, looks like we’ll finally get the whole story about Nathan and Jack.

allonsyalice April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 Why does everyone HAVE to be in a relationship on this show!? Literally. Ned and Florence (which came out of nowhere) and New Dress Shop Girl has literally been on the scene for a minute and a half and there’s already a random guy sniffing around her. and Hickam is infatuated with Fiona (who is a lesbian 😤) and honestly, as I write this, I do realize romance is the only thing this show has. So can they do it.....not terribly? Like Jesse and Clara suck. Does anyone actually care about ned and florence? Or new dress shop girl and that guy? None of these relationships are earned. Like, I don’t care. Sorry, not sorry. Miss me with Allie’s meddling with Nathan and Elizabeth. 100%. Sorry, kid. Your uncle isn’t that good or nice and he’s a bit boring.

Agreed but what could the storyline be? If Nathan was supposed to go on the tragic outing but didn't, how will that make E love him? If Nathan was in a search party but one that turned up no body, how will that make E care for him? If Nathan made some last minute promise to Jack to watch over E, how will E feel about that? Maybe the show will go English Patient, where Jack is in some private hospital with no face or hands or feet and only Nathan knows LOL 1 1 Link to comment
TVForever April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 I'm starting to feel like Lucas is going to end up being the speed bump on the road to the endgame romance with Nathan. And that makes me sad, because Lucas has always been mostly mature and honest in his pursuit of Elizabeth, and when he's been less so, he's owned up to it and apologized. Nathan, on the other hand, has mostly behaved like an immature high school boy. But somehow, it seems he's the one who'll end up being Elizabeth's "twu luv". Sigh. Maybe Lucas should start having lunch with Fiona. She's beautiful, smart, funny, and available. 5 Link to comment
CatLady April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 I hated most all of last night's show. Elizabeth is getting on my nerves so much. She wouldn't let Lucas touch her hand. Yet she moons over that surly, pouty guy who knows nothing about how to treat a lady. And don't even get me started on that bratty, goofy Allie. I had turned the channel and came back just to see the final scene. What a mistake. Bratty set up the scene for Elizabeth and Surly to stand up in front of Bill and nobody else was there. Corny crapola. Pick pocket brat pairs up with Rosemary's niece behind everyone's back. Stupid. Ned and Florence are nice but out of left field. A whole episode where Ned is near death and pulls out of it was OTT. Clara and airhead Jesse are a snooze. In the past I loved this show. The trite Mountie obsession has ruined it for me. And nobody could ever convince me that Elizabeth doesn't know what she wants or feels. Using Lucas is despicable. Only women of a certain type do such things. Just put Elizabeth with that grouch and end it. When that happens the show is over for me. It practically is already. 6 Link to comment

Starting sometime last season, I began to feel that of these four - Elizabeth, Lucas, Nathan & Fiona --- L & F suit each others' temperament better than L & E. I think Lucas wouldn't mind a partner who is spirited, lively and full of gumption. Indeed, before they neutered Lucas, I think he was similar to Fiona in their zest for living and how they approach life. Whereas, I think a Nathan/Fiona pairing would mean he'd get exhausted/exasperated by her pep at some later point. Some guys can handle this (like Lee who handles Rosemary's er, "eccentricities" quite well), but I can't see Nathan as one of those guys. Nathan is in law enforcement. It just seems he's too straight-laced and rigid to appreciate someone with Fiona's personality. I feel Elizabeth is dull, but to my mind, that personality suits Nathan better. And harping again on the shallow point I've made repeatedly on this forum: in terms of physical looks, I think the N & E pairing looks better matched (height, coloring). Anyhoo, this is why I find it funny that IRL, Nathan and Fiona are dating. I think I read it here on this forum...? Of course, these folks are actors so the people portraying Nathan and Fiona may be nothing like their character on the show.

treeofdreams April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 Elizabeth just seems so much happier, so much lighter, with Lucas. With Nathan, she will always be carrying around the Jack/Mountie baggage. I don't care for Allie's pressure on matching her with Nathan, but I do understand it, so I am trying not to be irritated. I am looking forward to finding out what the Jack/Nathan connection is. Perhaps that will settle things for the triangle. I hope so. I will repeat my earlier statement that she does not seem to have deep feelings for either one of them, or it would be a clear choice. If you feel that either one of your suitors would be okay, you are missing something in both relationships. 1 3 Link to comment

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. 4 Link to comment
WhyAmIHere April 5, 2021 Share April 5, 2021 The worst thing about Elizabeth probably ending up with Nathan is that it will mean more Ally. I feel slightly bad criticizing the young actors, but she gets on my nerves. I was leaning more towards Team Lucas the last two seasons, but the Lucas/Elizabeth scenes have been painful to watch this season. I don't know if it's the writing or the acting or both. But I just find myself cringing more often than not when they are on screen. I agree with Brighteyes in the above post that both Chris McNally and Kevin McGarry seem like good guys in real life. Both guys and Erin were on the Deck the Hallmark podcast in the last month or so (in separate interviews), and it's a shame that we don't get to see more of their personalities shine though on the show. The highlight of this week's episode was Rosemary working as the telephone operator. I just don't care about Ned and Florence. Like others have said, that relationship seemed to come out of left field this season. I wish Jesse and Clara would leave town to work on their issues. 4 Link to comment
scenicbyway April 6, 2021 Share April 6, 2021 Just finished the episode...Elizabeth looked downright uncomfortable being the only other person at Allie’s adoption. The girl was bizarrely matchmaking, I felt bad for Nathan. I think Elizabeth seemed really comfortable with Lucas, not the handhold in the saloon but even they smiled afterward. Lucas knowing that Henry’s son is one to watch shows that he’s not going to take any chances with him and that he wants to protect the citizens of Hope Valley. I like Joseph and his family, but either be a preacher or don’t? He says he doesn’t want to be but is leading a multi night prayer vigil? We didn’t learn why Ned needed a second surgery, did we? Why do Clara and Jesse only fight? It’s more than the money. Maybe Rosemary can find out why on the switchboard? I also thought having Lee try on Bill’s jacket was odd... Again Nathan does nothing but Liz is attracted to him. Whatever 2 Link to comment

sharifa70 April 7, 2021 Share April 7, 2021 Henry’s son always looks like a movie tweaker: pale, red-eyed, and he always seems sweaty. I keep expecting a WCTH-style Albert Ingalls Morphine Addiction Episode. I can’t even look at him. I 100% agree that the Florence/Ned engagement doesn’t feel earned at all. 2 1 Link to comment

It’s just manufactured conflict, they’ve given Rosemary a midlife crisis Why do I have an awful feeling that Rosemary is going to be the new telephone operator? She'd be awful - way too gossipy.

Your uncle isn’t that good or nice and he’s a bit boring. Better you find that out now. The move by that bratty kid (whom I want to backhand across the mouth every time I see her onscreen) was manipulative and over the line and Nathan should've shut that sh*t down as soon as he realized what was going on, especially since it put Elizabeth and a terribly awkward and uncomfortable position. The fact that he didn't shows what a creepy d-bag he is. No 'gentleman' would allow that kind of subterfuge - especiall when a widowed young mother who has obviously has feelings for someone else is involved. Even Bill looked perplexed. 6 Link to comment

I remember seeing a coffin on a wagon, but that could have been symbolic. Even if there was a body, I would imagine anyone who had been in a rockslide/avalanche could have been unrecognizable.

The way she stood between them holding both their hands like they were a family would have made me want to keep my distance even more from Nathan. Sorry kid, don't want anything to do with you now, especially as your stepmother. I hope Nathan apologies to Elizabeth for that, but I suppose he won't. Maybe he even hopes it will help him. ("Look how much Allie loves you, and wants you to be part of our family!") Of course, that would be manipulative on his part... 6 Link to comment

I was thinking along the line that he was 'recovered' by some wilderness folks, maybe has amnesia, nursed back to health, etc. Or...maybe his death was some kind of coverup to where he had to go into hiding and Nathan knows about it and was charged to look after Elizabeth and that's what he confesses to Elizabeth next week. Yeah - that's stretching it even beyond Lifetime Movie territory. It's a BIG stretch as to bring Jack back from the dead would be even worse than 'Bobby in the shower' (Dallas fans will get this) It's going to be one of two plot contrivances to get Elizabeth to switch her feelings. Either Lucas does something so horrific (maybe something that has to do with Henry's son since he seems to be suspicious of him) or Nathan has to do something so "awwwwwwww" that Ewizabeth just can't help but have feewings. But for her to switch so fact from Lucas to Nathan no matter who does what would be unbelievable on her part. She should just say, "enough - I choose no one right now because I just can't handle all this drama" Jessie & Clara can take their marital issues and jump off a cliff - and take Faith with them. I just don't like the character. I think she's whiny and needy. I'm guessing after fixing Ned that Carson is going to remain in Hope Valley, but UGH - I don't want him with Faith. There's just no chemistry. Nothing. Not even a spark. All the couples except Lee and Rosemary are bland, boring and vanilla 1 2 Link to comment

A rare case of the producers giving in the the fans since Bobby was supposed to remain dead and all the events Pam "dreamed" were really supposed to have been real.

She should just say, "enough - I choose no one right now because I just can't handle all this drama" As yes, the Kelly Taylor "I choose me" route. Not gonna happen - not just cause it's Hallmark, but the viewers who have been invested in this triangle the last 2 years will be up in arms. Link to comment
