[@kathyfranks3008]

Thank you Lindsay for doing your research and watching the whole series. I am so happy to see all the returns to its roots. Elizabeth ran from Nathan out of fear of losing him which only made her lose him anyway. I’m sorry for Lucas and his fans heartbreak because I know how that feels. People make the wrong choice sometimes and need to be true to themselves even if it hurts someone for awhile. I feel she is finally doing what she was afraid to do.

[@gilbertanne88]

I could have eventually accepted showrunner Lindsey's storyline about paths diverging as it happens in real life - but that's not what the writers stopped at- they made Elizabeth erase 5 seasons of a love story as a 'wrong choice' and calling it 'safe' & 'comfortable' ! BS ! Lucas was anything but safe- he challenged Elizabeth, made her go after her dreams (the show has forgotten E is a writer & author not just a school teacher ?) and helped her let go of her fears as she said in S9 herself ! Yes Lucas perhaps was destined for a larger stage but his story so far was he had already traveled the world and he finally finally found a place, a home, a community and the love of his life and a family of his own . And he lost everything he had and wanted and worked to prove himself worthy of , brutally in a matter of few minutes- just before he boarded the train; remember even the night before Elizabeth unasked offered to accompany Lucas on his campaign ! So Lindsey that's not how characters reveal themselves ? You made her a confused mess of a woman as if none of the grieving and growth had taken place over seasons 8 & 9 ! Did you perhaps pretend these seasons never happened ???

[@dlandes14]

Their conversation might have happened in only a few minutes but I think it you look deeper (not even that deep really, I think the signs were fairly obvious) you could see she was struggling over the last few episodes at least. I think the suddenness of the governor race and possible move forced her hand.

[@Zmommaofboyz1996]

@@dlandes14 yes, agree! They showed a strong and sincere love for seasons and a only a few episodes of grief/panic/confusion. It was just too much of a light switch on, then off.

I can’t see that season 10 made any sense. I don’t think the show runner viewed previous seasons if she did she was in lala land. Because it was not consistent what had happened in previous seasons. I’ve lost respect for Elizabeth. Also have lost respect for Nathan. He’s untrustworthy, he lied, withheld information, jumps from relationships, left Allie with Opals family, never corrected her bad behaviors and always depended on Elizabeth to make he and Allie happy. He’s never really done anything for Elizabeth’s happiness oh wait the placard for the library and a bouquet of flowers.

[@lillianhazaz4027]

My heart is shattered by the final scene. I get that Elizabeth is going through grief, but why was it necessary for her to absolutely break Lucas’s heart. It was like a Dear John letter delivered in person. I guess S8&9 never happened. So disappointed in how this was done.

[@elizabradshaw1563]

I think this writing was incredible. I just appreciate how careful Lucas character was handled. When Nathan was let down in season 8 he was just dropped and there was no lead in for a new story for him… just a season of heart break and sadness. Lucas is obviously a man who is bound for bigger things… he was able to find his groundedness in hope valley and now from that foundation he can confidently move forward as a hero to save all the towns. It’s quite incredible. They have different paths… Elizabeth doesn’t want to move up a hill much less go to union city. I think the writing took so much care to make sure these main characters had a path that was perfect for THEM. I love Lucas’s story line. I know not seeing them together will be really hard but this was good writing and beautiful story telling. (Other shows where there were two great options for a character for love and they pick ‘home’ are the notebook and sweet home alabama’. This is a beautiful arc.

A good storyline? Maybe something for him to do, but no love. He was practically left at the altar by the love of his life on his way to save the town SHE loves more than him, after she told him to do it. And he just accepted it, after years of loving each other? It was cruel and the opposite of what these characters would have done in any season except this one.

[@michaelinedegruy-zk3eu]

Lucas has grown so much as a beloved character within Hope valley since he first came on the show. It's interesting to think that part of that journey may have been influenced by Elilzabeth. It seems they both needed each other to grow in the ways needed. I loved the comment by Pascal that the show is "when calls the heart" and sometimes that means doing things that are more heartbreaking, but still the right thing to do. I have loved the journey on this season so far! The breakup of the Lucas-Elizabeth relationship was handled so tenderly and done so well by both actors. Love the comedy and cute scenes sprinkled throughout each show as well. Thanks for doing this aftershow interviews!

[@melissaatwood4792]

@@marlenedufour4744 I saw it differently. I saw S8 as a refusal to follow her heart because "it would hurt too much to lose you." I saw her decision as a head decision, not a heart one. As Lee told Jesse - you need to make a decision every day to love. Elizabeth tried that. But I think making that decision to love a person each day doesn't bring true happiness when there is someone else already in your heart. Elizabeth discovered that this season. We also saw all season how incompatible Elizabeth and Lucas were. Elizabeth couldn't talk about the deep issues with Lucas. Even though he offered. Their lives are taking different paths and I am excited for Lucas and the new direction.

[@inLmgb]

​@@melissaatwood4792I absolutely agree. There were always signs of true affection for and deep understanding between Elizabeth and Nathan. Long looks, smiles, little jokes. They shared hopes and concerns. That deep friendship transformed gradually and I loved to watch. Going back to the first scene at the log, when Nathan confessed his love and Elizabeth was too overwhelmed to properly reply, one could see in her face exactly the feelings she described now on Jack's grave. For me it's the perfect end to this story arch. As for Chris, he as actor must be thrilled. This new storyline has so many oportunities for him! And it will also be nice to see Nathan truly showing his love, if the next season allows him to. It's about time! 😊

I never saw what Lindsay is talking about! Elizabeth took off her ring, she pledged her heart to Lucas. This is just sloppy and a mess. Heartbroken over this turn of events. So S8E12 & all of S9 was a big lie?! Elizabeth's character is tarnished. Jack's been dead 5 years. So I guess Lucas will toss his handsome watch engraved with "Our Time Has Come". Can't Lucas be a hero and have the woman he patiently waited for?!

[@RetiredTeacher34]

Well said… agree

[@nancypaine5929]

I get it, that yes, people change and grow (Lucas), and Elizabeth wants the small town life and doesn't want to hold him back. But they did not need to discredit their love, having Elizabeth say she picked him as safe (Rosemary said it, but she agreed). And saying that she didn't follow her heart. That really makes it feel like the beautiful moments and love story they shared was all a lie! Like she never really felt it with her heart. So gut wrenching to hear, so not needed! I enjoyed their love story more than ANY in any other Hallmark movie or show, and they made it seem like Elizabeth never really was fully in love. Heartbreaking.

[@sallylit8645]

I totally disagree with the direction Lindsay took with Lucas. Lucas continually said he wanted a quiet family life over and over in S 6 - 9 as he treasured that kind of life over what he grew up with. Lucas was totally happy with the life he was creating with Elizabeth and his buddy, LJ. Seasons 6 through 9 showed the beautiful romance between Lucas and Elizabeth and the chemistry between them was totally off the charts until about E5 of this season. For me, breaking up LucaBeth takes all the heart and magic out of the show and I will no longer watch. As a dedicated LucaBeth fan, I can speak for all of us that if you wanted Nathan and Elizabeth together, we wish you had done it in the S8 finale. Giving us this amazing beautiful romance between Lucas and Elizabeth only to yank it away from us weeks away from their wedding was a cruel move.

[@deejay7759]

It didn't look amazing to all of us watching

[@jacquelyncanada9785]

You are so correct.

[@dlandes14]

The one thing I started noticing more and more often was that Lucas was constantly having to compromise on things for Elizabeth with very little in return from her. To me, that showed that they weren't really on the same page. Yes they had a nice romance for a while but when it really comes down to the "deep stuff", the stuff that matters over the long term, I just don't think they were in that same place. I've always thought Lucas was destined for something bigger than HV. That doesn't mean I'm not thankful for what he did for hope valley over the years. And I also don't know that her and Nathan necessarily get together now. If they do I hope they go slow. I don't think it would be a great look for her or the show to just have her go and immediately run into his arms. If they do get together, I think they will have great romance together too, it'll just look different. It probably will be camping, fishing, picnics with the kids instead of candlelit dinners. That honestly appeals more to me, but I respect that it may not be others "cup of tea."

[@eamerrill9565]

Teams and triangle aside, because this story is growing outside of that. Sometimes the only way out is through. I have liked Lucas the most the last couple of episodes. Not because he and Elizabeth aren't together anymore, because him doing large scale great things seems more like his character. Up to that point, he kind of seemed like all he could do was dote on Elizabeth. Not that thats bad, but it was all dote and no struggle, no talking through real problems, but ignoring or avoiding them. Even the episode wither her aunt, it was all about making Elizabeth happy, not about actually talking about the offer at hand. As for Elizabeth and Nathan, we have yet to see if they will even be together. I have always thought it was an inconsistency in the story because he made her a plaque that says "always do what you're afraid to do." And it was a very meaningful scene, and then the following season, she says she can't be with him because she's too afraid. It always felt like that was unresolved. So even if they don't end up together, they at least finally had her realize that she made her choice in season 8 out of fear.

[@dlandes14]

Exactly! He was always compromising for her which to some extent, compromise is important in a relationship but when it happens for literally everything and it's one sided to me it shows they were never on the same page, at least when it came to the "deep" important stuff.

[@juliewindsor9354]

The only fans who are supportive of the turn of events are many of the very fans who maliciously trashed the show after S8, demanded firings, boycotted the network & insulted actors. S10 has its moments but much of it didn’t build on threads from past seasons. For some characters, there was no development or progression at all. Nathan had few viable scenes. The entire E/L r’ship has been diminished. Elizabeth is barely recognizable. The storyline would have been plausible if it was logical. I am wildly disappointed in all of it, but most especially in this interview. I hold Brian Bird personally responsible for permitting the breakup of a 5 yr relationship to be told in this way. It was more than just drama. It was cruel. Did you learn nothing from the ridiculous triangle that wasn’t even a triangle? The fallout was real and mean. Hearties defended the show & its creators, producers & writers. We are a loyal fan base. We market for you. We network. We support the show with everything we’ve got. But, to what end?

I completely agree. They changed the whole trajectory of the show between seasons nine and ten and now expect us to believe this line of logic. They should have ended season eight with Elizabeth making a very different decision if this was the case. I wish the cast and crew success but this viewer is done.

I love this show. Thanks for doing these interviews. It is neat to see a little behind the decision making and see Lucas' excitement about the direction of his character. I wish fans would not bash Elisabeth. You can tell she is really struggling but is finally listening to her heart and recognizing the fear she had. I personally know soneone that was engaged to be married but broke it off when his heart was telling him another woman in his life was the one he should be with. They have been married 50 years! I am excited to see where the storylines go.

SOOOOO happy!! Finally getting it to the way it should be! Teacher/ Mountie! I just never liked the awkward chemistry with Lucas and Elizabeth! Looking forward to a beautiful love story with Nathan & Elizabeth! Perhaps Lucas and Fiona would be a great couple!

[@SunnyValley007]

For people saying “If E ends up with another Mountie, he will just die again like Jack”, that’s a faulty argument that makes no sense because no one is spared from death period. Elizabeth said herself that she avoided choosing Nathan because she didn’t want to go through that pain again, but even Lucas was close to death at times. For example: That saloon fire in season 9, being beat up by henchman in Season 9 and even that incident in the saloon involving guns in season 6. Everyone has a 50% chance at death because they are HUMAN. Yes, being a Mountie may increase those risks (hence Jack’s premature death), but Nathan and Elizabeth could very well grow old together. I mean, look at Bill. He’s no longer a Mountie, but still doing dangerous work at an older age. Elizabeth’s fears were valid, but not rational.

[@randoline13]

What this latest episode shows is that we can't trust Elizabeth. I never thought I'd say that. This character is not who we've watched over the last 10 years. She's not some wishy washy character who is chained to her life in Hope Valley. The real Elizabeth would have risen to the challenge. She would have stuck to her commitment to Lucas, that was not made in haste or because it was "safe". Whoever wrote that in the script obviously didn't understand the last 4 yrs of story. She would have seen this as an opportunity to expand her influence and impact on the world around her. It's just 4 yrs. She's not a 20yr old anymore. She's a grown woman, not some naive kid who doesn't know her own feelings. "So dumb" is all I could think when I watched the episode. Are y'all really doing this stupid N/E/L thing again!?! And, if they put her with N, what in the world does she think mil spouse life is like?! (Asked as a Mil Spouse). I've recommended this show for 10 yrs, even through the Jack's death mess. I won't be recommending it anymore. It doesn't make any sense at all for it to go this way. Not for the time period, not for Hallmark, not for Janette Oak books, not for the 10 yrs of character development. I mean for soap world, sure. I love a good soap opera, have watched several over the last 40 yrs. But, I didn't think that's what I was watching. 🤷‍♀

[@michaelinedegruy-zk3eu]

The only one fighting for love is Lucas. He’s fighting for the woman and child he’s grown to love, he’s fighting to save the town he calls home. He’s fighting for everything and everyone in Hope Valley.

[@bellaventimiglia35]

@@michaelinedegruy-zk3eu 💯 agree!!! Meanwhile, Nathan has been running around like a fool (in my humble opinion) “looking for love”…first w/ Elizabeth, then May, then Faith! Even Kevin McGarry was critical of him! I’m totally OVER & DONE w/ WCTH! (BUT…I would watch a Lucas spinoff! 🥰😍🥰)

[@michaelinedegruy-zk3eu]

Lucas has become the star of the show. Surpassing Elizabeth. If you look really close it seems that Lucas not only is like Jack but is becoming a lot like Abigail. Abigail was instrumental in saving the town and supporting fellow widows after the mine disaster. Lucas running for governor and winning will save Hope Vally and neighboring communities. His business skills and love for the town he calls home will sustain HV’s growth. It’s because of Lucas Bouchard Hope Valley will flourish in the 1920’s.

[@joanputnam5301]

How can the showrunner say the show is about the fans? This could have been a healing season but she brought back the triangle and divided us again. So how is that thinking of the fans? She will lose half of us again only on the other side. She seems to favour the Nathan fans and that's not fair to the canon of the last two seasons. Maybe there will be another great twist and we'll feel like we did in season 8 episode 12.

[@sallylit8645]

I agree, the writing has been so good this season. I love how all seasons were considered and drawn from. I love how enthusiastic Lindsay is about all the characters.

[@Shannon-wg4ff]

I am so disappointed. Years of a love story built up and now just suddenly ended? This makes no narrative sense. You can’t just pretend that previous seasons did not happen. You can’t just switch characters’ emotions around willy nilly. Some people will be happy because they finally got what they’ve always wanted, but that does not make it good writing. This is so unfortunate because this was my favorite show and I can’t trust it anymore. It’s become a soap opera and not what I’ve been watching for 9 previous seasons. You’ve lost a viewer.

[@stephaniefrailey6968]

I too was disappointed! I was team Nathan, however, finally got used to the idea of Elizabeth being with Lucas. I still love the show, but wish that they didn’t end the relationship. It doesn’t make sense unless Chris McNally is leaving the show!

[@taylormurray8660]

I agree. The only reason she was ever torn was because she was clearly holding onto the memories of Jack. You can tell she misses those “mountie” moments but that doesn’t make her love Nathan. I will not continue to follow. They completely could have made their relationship work. How do you truly love someone but you don’t sacrifice for them? They have made her insensitive and greedy. Nothing anybody else wants matters because Elizabeth isn’t going to leave Hope Valley. His term would have only been 4 years. They have been together about that long. They could have kept the relationship somehow. Completely ruins the entire show.

[@TheCheyHAM]

People grow apart all the time. People change, circumstances change- why can’t E&L be any different?

[@michaelinedegruy-zk3eu]

It’s all about BB’s wallet. He honestly thinks he will gain “lost” viewership back to watching the show. He will loose just as many possibly more by changing the direction of the show especially after season 9. I have watched since S1E1 and was heartbroken when DL left WCTH. I was very excited knowing the show was bringing in CM. He’s been great in all his other movies and shows. He was Jack 2.0. A much better love interest for Elizabeth to move forward in HV. I could see where there would be many more stories from this character pairing. KM has a large fan base and they are very vocal, but the Nathan character is stale. I’m hoping the show continues for the cast and crew’s sake but not very optimistic.

[@TheCheyHAM]

@@michaelinedegruy-zk3euLucas was Charles 2.0. Elizabeth chose Jack not Charles. She chose HV not Hamilton. There are so many people who never saw a love story between E&L. What did they discuss? What did they overcome together as a couple? Elizabeth needed time to grieve but Lucas subtly rushed her back into the dating scene with his cunning ways. It started with- “if this were a date” comment. And, rewind the tape- E hesitated with every 1st they had. She hesitated with the Wolfe tickets. She hesitated with holding his hand the first time. She hesitated the first time they almost kissed. And everytime Lucas was like I’m not trying to rush you…and then fans start saying he’s so patient- really? I saw it as poor E is being cajoled into this forced relationship and she’s going along with it bc she misses being pampered and that connection with another man. Note that L had always sought out love so he overcompensates and does these grand things to get it. E says HV is my home and L says it’s mine too then. E says I don’t want a bigger house and L says okay I won’t build one. And, L saw her hug N at end of S7 and thought she had feelings for him. And, he pretty much observed N&E all of S8 and he finally concluded that E had feelings for N so he let E go. All these points clearly shows why E&L broke up at the train station. L knew deep down that he never had E’s heart and in a promo he said that he would have regretted not getting on the train alone to run for governor. They wanted different things and they finally realized that. Happens to couples all the time. They mutually agreed to move on. I’m not trying to be mean here but just wanted to let you know that plenty of people feel like S10 makes complete since- and I’m one of them- has nothing to do with teams and ratings- it makes since based on the story that is written.

[@joanputnam5301]

Today, many of us feel like we did after season 8 episode 11. We were heartbroken because we thought Lucas and Elizabeth were over. However we were relieved and elated in season 8E12. That can happen again. Aunt Agatha said Lucas was meant for a larger stage but she also said she was given a second chance at love and to hold onto that with all she has. Don't forgot the second part of that scene.

[@dlandes14]

I don't think they can recover from that breakup. If it was just about moving to capital city, maybe. But once Lucas said "but there's something more isn't there?" That's when I knew they were done done.

I remember, well, what Aunt Agatha said. It hit me hard, when Elizabeth split with Lucas.

[@gilbertanne88]

I cannot believe this showrunner decided to ruin a beautiful love story the show spent 5 years building up; you made Elizabeth take 3 years to make her decision and showed her so happily in love. Come Season 10, we got none to little romance between Elizabeth and Lucas, Elizabeth became a shadow of her self - every other character's screen presence now outshines Erin Krakow's in S10 ! I will say setting up Lucas for a bigger story, the friendship between Mei , Fiona and Faith, Hickam's growth , Rosemary & Lee as a team and even Bill and Madeleine all seem interesting whereas sadly Elizabeth the protagonist is now reduced to a side character who is just moving with the current and is pensive all the time. If you wanted to do the Casablanca story, it should have been in Season 8 and now fans who rooted for Nathan or Lucas feel cheated out and most of all anyone who was Team Elizabeth is left with no faith in her integrity. Also Elizabeth is not just a school teacher, she's also a writer and a published author who loves living in a small town but also enjoyed having her light shine outside it to a bigger stage though her writing ! The show has forgotten that aspect also ??? The showrunner in an interview mentioned she has a blended family- so I guess they want the show to take this route now ? Only we didnt have to go through this change in narrative and heartbreak just for you to make fiction reflect your reality. A very disappointed fan. Season 11 will most probably be the end of WCTH

[@songsbyerika]

I couldn't have said it better myself. This show runner just wants what she wants and doesn't care about any of the previous seasons or characters. I feel cheated out of the last 4 years of building a love story of Lucas and Elizabeth. What a complete waste.

I still dont agree ... after the interview I still think Lucas can still a hero for his character, they can work this out, but instead they are turning them into a soap opera, where characters can easily shift back their love to the other person ? Why didnt they just continue ( Nathan and Elizabeth ) to work to overcome her fears slowly?. Now she end up breaking Lucas and little Jack's heart. Storytelling I love but losing someone you love is tough.. it's easy to say move on, but it's not. I'm disappointed, can't watch another soap opera. Love Janette Oke books read all of them .

I won't even give you the benefit of watching your video. This season has been a complete disaster and the new showrunner totally ruined a wonderful show and amazing love story with the complete idiocy of this ridiculous season.

I am a part of a Facebook group who fell in love with Lucas and Elizabeth's love story that began in S6 and was completely obliterated in S10.

[@mlnedeau]

Elizabeth shouldn't have been put with anyone so soon after the trauma of Jack's death. Her love story should have continued as the love of a mother and her child until she was truly healed, however long it took. There were plenty of other characters to provide romantic love stories.

[@elsacardenas282]

Elizabeth arrives home from The train station after crushing a soul- Mountie Nathan Thornton is all moved in. Elizabeth thought it would Be better if Nathan took Her name since she is not Interested in changing hers- but if we wait a few seasons it could do another 180. You never know. He is waiting for Elizabeth to give him his list of chores. Rosemary stops by because she sees the light still on and greets Mountie Nathan Thornton. What will we do for the next 55 minutes of the episode? Might be difficult to spin this boredom into 10 years. Luckily we have a man that thinks of others, Lucas Bouchard! He will keep Hope Valley and other places prosperous and thriving. He has and always will put others before his own happiness unless Of course the brilliant writers decide to do another 180. I have never been a fan of soap Operas. It’s all about ratings not promises or good writing or even storylines, or keeping your word.

My comment is addressing a majority of long time fans. They want to talk to Lindsey Sturman but wasn't getting a response. I was expecting Lucas and Elizabeth to marry. I guessed there was no wedding based on the clips and photos even though certain people kept saying there is one. Sorry to say many hearties are disappointed with this season. After last night, I really felt upset with it and I am turned off by youtubers posting videos rumoring that Elizabeth will marry Nathan but it would make very bad writing if they reopen that up. I think that it make fans angry when she relapses. It is showing her character is very bad this season. I think this is destroying the show. People want to see romance and didn't want a heart break. I recall that they said Hope Valley is going to go through a change. I expect that Lucas will still be in Hope Valley in Season 11. Elizabeth should have asked for help to deal with her grief. I agree that she is not healed and still holding on her loss of Jack and that is affecting her ability to love anyone. I don't think that the showrunner did what is best for the character. There were things that they promised and fans are noticing it was not fulfilled. People expected Fiona to have more bigger impact this season and Nathan to have more Mountie work and Elizabeth more teaching. The rest of the characters seemed to be thrown in but didn't have a solid story this season. Hoping season 11 will be better.
