‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ Cast Members Choose Sides: Team Nick or Team Luke? | Rotten Tomatoes TV

[@quiznos6374]

Team Nick! I dont know if its how they wrote the character or its the actor but I never felt a deep love from Luke, not even in the flashbacks. But from the moment we see Nick we get passion, love, caring, mysterious, strong.

[@prtdiva]

Yes. Agreed! Never felt it with Luke and June. I think the infidelity threw me off. But he connection with Nick is real. They’ve both experienced extreme trauma. Luke doesn’t know June anymore. It won’t work for those two. June will probably end up alone.

[@ncorp2668]

Oh, I definitely think it was intentional in the writing of Luke's character. They're showing the negative sides of him, which I love that they did (because it's true to life), which I think is supposed to show us how even "good" guys are problematic and how the things that created the patriarchal system of Gilead had been long running dynamics for a long time before that (which is true to our reality as well), and after everything June has been through, the things she could stand for before she'll probably become completely intolerant of now that she's stronger than ever, in many ways. So those flashbacks of him are probably setting the stage for how/why June is going to leave him.

[@dylanchaser20058]

I feel sorry for Luke, he truly loves June and would do anything for her. I love Nick too. We'll Nick is Married too and was hiding his wedding band. Did he marry Hannah?

[@irismaiwillow6882]

Luke loves June, but him saying “she stayed there even though she knew she’d never see me again” is something that June cannot deal with. If he ever said that to her, she would lose it. Nick knows what she’s been through. He has risked his life for hers. This whole time Luke has been in love with the woman he remembers, but the woman June is now is not the woman he married. June is a trauma victim, and Luke has a temper. Nick can take care of her.

Exactly! Drool over Nick, but, seriously, there's no life for him outside Gilead.

[@casie6609]

@@karenlaw43 As for what Nick has done, I will try to only speak on what we know for sure. He pretty much just wanted a job to make a living for himselg so he joined Gilead before its creation and was loyal to his Commanders and the cause ever since. He was clearly persuaded into it and maybe he didn't know what was all going to happen and just wanted to change the country for the better. I try not to speculate but it's possible. I don't know if he become a driver after he was a soldier (that's most likely but the timeline was never really explained clearly), but either way, of course he did horrible things. He must've killed innocent people as a soldier, and in that air strike he did in Chicago (even though he was ordered to and would be killed if he refused, I shouldn't use that as an excuse). Sometimes good people do bad things, or they turn their life around later. Meeting June might've been the turning point for him but I think that he knew he was on the wrong side before meeting her. By the time he realized it, it was too late and he knew that if he tried to get out of his situation he would be killed. He can never be forgiven for what he's done but he can make up for it by doing good and moving forward. Luke cheated on his wife, which can't be compared with my moral compass to murder (obviously), but he also turned his life around and realized that what he did was wrong. Nick and Luke's circumstances are completely different (because Nick's were far more extreme in Gilead compared to Luke who did that in a more normal world). June killed people. She killed Fred and let Eleanor die after committing suicide. Emily stabbed Aunt Lydia in the back and killed a wife in the colonies. Rita killed her commander and his wife. Etc. In my opinion, all of this was justified... I don't support murder in real life but this is a show with such crazy circumstances and lifestyles. They all did what they had to survive. Going back to Nick, he probably killed innocent people so that can't be justified. I know that. But I can forgive him if he continues to be a good person. As for why he's still in Gilead, I predict that it's for Hannah because he can get information about her from inside, whereas if he escaped to Canada. Same with Commander Laurence. He's a good person (who also did horrible things like develop the colonies) but they are both staying in Gilead to try to help it from there. It's better for free countries if people like them have power instead of escape and have all the bad guys in power to do more evil without them knowing about it I think. I hope I responded clearly with what I believe. We don't have to agree but if you get what I'm saying at least that's good enough. 💛

Honestly, I don‘t think June would‘ve fell for Nick in the before. It‘s the trauma, the „we‘re in this together“ and the „I know what you‘ve been through“ that makes the two of them together so unique. In Season 5 you get a glimpse of what June and Luke could have been, if June hadn‘t been to Gilead. Yes, they love each other and they had a child together and they love Hannah, but compared to Nick, Luke will never get what June has been through and I think in the long term she would start to resent him and I think she could find comfort in being with Nick. I think what‘s keeping June and Luke together right now is the love for Hannah and the passion to find and get her back home.

Seeing this video title made me laugh out loud - who June gets with is the least of my, or her, worries!

[@stephaniemarkel7723]

Feeling like Moss basically said Nick will die at the beginning of the interview when she said, “I know the direction the show needs to go.” If June ever does get Hannah back, she’ll want to create the harmonious bond they had before their life was torn apart. But can we PLEASE get at least ONE season where Nick and June are together, before he kicks the can 😭

[@tamlynn786]

I might be wrong but I think think Aunt Lydia will in some way try to redeem herself. I think in some sick twisted way she does care for the handmaids and she’s starting to realize that what goes on in Gilead is not what she signed up for and therefore try to make it right for the handmaids.

[@trishab6220]

Agree, occasionally Aunt Lydia shows empathy. She has a soft spot for Madeline, sure she wants her to just behave, however if she had to inflict pain on her or kill her, I doubt she could. As the show goes on, shes deff not coping with the cruelty as well.

[@corneliakobilke4638]

You should read „the testaments“ by the same author of the handmaids tale. Im not sure how much they will take from that book, but it’s told from 3 narrators, one of them being lydia I found it for free online

How could you chose the man who is partly responsible for the hell on earth that June has endured? He is sipping a drink while June is being tortured and was responsible for bringing Hanna to get June to talk and she was hurt June to see Hannah afraid of her. On the other hand Luke is caring for the child that his wife had with another man and he cares for the baby and feels emasculated bc his wife is fighting to save their daughter!

Votes as indicated (actors/actresses listed by character name): June - Abstained Commander Waterford - Luke Aunt Lydia - close, but Luke Rita - Nick Janine - Luke, no wait actually Nick, or actually maybe neither Commander Lawrence - Nick Nick - himself, obviously. Love at first sight, deep connection. Luke - *shakes head at being asked question* what did Rita say? Don't see it working out long term with Nick, Luke's a lifelong guy. Mark Tuello - Luke, but it'll be difficult for them I listed them by their character's names because I found it funny their ultimate answers were all similar to what I imagine that actual characters would've said if asked 😂

[@angelashrum3581]

Luke was her past. Nick is her present and future. Luke just wouldn't understand and fully ever be able to comprehend it, or her, because she isn't the same. Luke keeps June in his mind...sure, he considers and thinks and imagines, but he doesn't and could never grasp it. Grasp her. EVER. I have a feeling she won't be able to be with either, or she'll die, or the show will kill one off so she won't have to choose. But it should be Nick. 🤷‍♀️

[@JasmineNicole319]

TEAM NICK. PERIOD! If you put scenes side by side of June/Luke & June/Nick, you’ll see the difference of loving someone and being in love with someone. June/Luke is like: “oh that’s cute”, we like the same coffee and our zodiacs say we are compatible.... June/Nick are like magnets, drawn to each other from scene one. That surpasses a ring on ur finger, “compatibility”, all that. If Nick met her in normalcy it would be the same, the trauma they deal with wouldn’t matter. The relationships are like sparklers vs fireworks! Plus, I think Luke is corny. All the flashback scenes I’m like he is a cornball, a beta. Nick is an alpha.🤷🏾‍♀️

[@prettyhtemachine]

Nicks character has depth, he's super strong and knows everything June has gone through. Nick seems to light a fire in June, i see how passionate she is with him ans vice versa. I love thier story soo much! I also dont care for Luke at all. Im sorry but they could've picked a better actor, theres times i think he's okay but majority of his acting isnt very believable.

Team Nick. Think about it from the last two scenes: Nick HELPS June get her revenge in the way that he knew she wanted to. He knows what June wants and accepts her and her choice. But Luke doesn’t truly know the new June, and seems to not be able to handle the real June, nor does he seem to want to accept what June has done. Luke is battling the decision to keep loving current June, and Nick lives to love June and risks his life all the time for her.

[@mitzideleon1121]

I am on the Luke team, because that's her husband, he has ached for her and still does. Nick has been the companion in battle, which she needed; they needed that relationship to survive the circumstances, but I would love to see her healed, whole, and back with her husband.

[@jeannie341]

June and Luke were great before Gilead. Luke is a nice guy, a great father and unfortunately, a typical example of "Nice guys finish last!" Luke also sheds more tears than most of the victims of Gilead! In my opinion, Luke isn't strong enough to handle the new and nutty June. Nick understands Junes kind of crazy and he knows how to snap her out of nutcase mode when the need arises. Most important, Nick makes June smile! Fact - Nick and June are one of the hottest couples on television! Let's keep it that way! TEAM NICK!

[@emelined187]

She will probably end up with neither of them. She's changed too much to be back with Luke. Nick should have got more screentime in S3 to better understand where he's at in S4. We dont know what happened in Chicago, his current state of mind and which side he's really on. I think it would require him to really step up to root for him again. He seemed like a much stronger character in S2, something feels different about him now...

[@bayard.bayard]

I think it is all calculated. Plot-wise. Not "screen-time-audience"wise. Nick disappeared in season 3. He surfaced in finale as a Commander. In season 4 suddenly he has so much power and influence. We don't know how he got it and what has he done prior to estabilish Gilead. We know that Swiss and Canadians refused to make deal with him. I mean, they agreed to talk with Waterfords, so Nick's life is probably finished outside Gilead. Even more than Lawrence's. And we still don't know why! So Nick's character development explanation needs HUGE part of the plot. I don't imagine they would just kill him off after making so much effort to estabilish suspense around his character.

[@yunie3336]

I've issues with some of OT's statements about Luke...Luke being a life-longer? I think his ex-wife who he cheated on and left in favour of his affair, would definitely disagree... Nick tried to provide for his whole family - he clearly knows how to take responsibilities, too. I can see that it's nice of Luke to raise Holly, but I lately get the feeling that she's becoming a surrogate for the daughter he lost and can't save...He needs the baby to have at least a little purpose left - even more so now that June changed and moved on. The question about roles reversed is interesting. Thinking about the differences in their first interactions... Nick was the one starting a conversation with June, cracking a little joke, flirting with her. Luke though was the one who was approached - by Moira, not even June - don't think they'd ever started a conversation if not for Moira. I'd reckon the same would apply to roles reversed. I can't really see Luke+June in Gilead, because Luke would've been one of the Econo-people, keeping a low profile, going to church etc... Anyways, I don't really care if she ends up with one of both or none - just don't like reasoning that doesn't make a lot of sense... My only hope is that all three of them will be reunited with their daughters again. 😊

[@yuzu8709]

I think the best would be either she stays alone or with Luke. Because, well, I get she'll never be like before Gilead again, but that's okay. Sometimes, you don't have to understand someone completely to feel affection to them. A relationship works with compassion. Luke doesn't have to understand everything about Gilead to be there for her. The relationship doesn't have to be the same. Naturally, relationships evolve over time, so that's not a huge problem. Staying single of course is another good thing; I mean, she probably wants and needs independence and this way, she can operate more free regarding planning escapes; when she has no husband to leave behind. Regarding Nick; well, I think the main problem is he is responsible for Gilead. This alone would've been kinda okay, but he decided to not even tell her; hence their relationship started under false claims. Plus, I don't even think there's much real love between them. As said in the show, in Gilead, you take love where you find it. Both of them kind of had the 'opportunity' so they....automatically clicked, for the lack of better words. Yes, he tries to help her and stuff, but that doesn't change he lied to her in the beginning. Furthermore, they really don't even have a 'deep' connection. Yes, on the surface, they do care for each other, because in Gilead, they have nothing else, but I think, in this moment, June can't feel real, unconditional love since everything she does basically is for her daughter.

How can you chose Nick?

Luke is caring for the child that his wife had with another man and deeply cares for her and feels emasculated bc his wife is fighting to save their daughter

[@bramsrockhopper3377]

I think we know how Elizabeth Moss feels about the two men involved…just by her reaction. She’s team Nick all the way. Nick is kind, empathetic, strong, quiet, passionate, controlled. He fights for what matters. He is June’s rock now. He gives her strength and trusts her to do what is needed. They match each other so well. Luke is dramatic, moody, selfish, weak, and has a nasty temper. He goes with the flow and is not a fighter. He didn’t fight for June when women’s rights were taken away. He was chilled about it. That said a lot about him. Imho.

[@Truthster772]

Nick and June = Trauma bond and if she is able to get back with Luke, it’ll be another trauma bond. I think June should end up with neither. The only reunion I am hoping for is June and Hannah. The only ending I want is June taking down Gilead. I can’t really put myself in the position to like this show because of its love story. What effing love story?

Furthermore, he actually took it as a sign that she didn't love him enough, as if he was incapable of factoring the hardships she was dealing with. It is as immature as Hannah asking June why she hadn't "tried harder" to see her. In Hannah's case it's understandable, children are egocentric by nature. In Luke's case, I was surprised.

Although YES there’s times you can almost feel like there’s an untrusting vibe from him but I think it’s bc he’s playing the “bad” guy for the rest of Gilead while showing his true and caring self to June. Him also being so quiet and mysterious also always has some of us thinking the “what if” cus I know I can’t be the only whose thought what if he turns on June? What if all this isn’t real and he’s got he’s own agenda? An evil one at that! HOWEVER I think we’ve seen just how far Nick is willing to go for June. The countless times he’s been so selfless in showing his true love for her in so many different ways. I will cry and be pissed if they killed him off for season 5.
