Love triangles never work, and theyāre never necessary to tell worthwhile, believable love stories, yet somehow (and I canāt believe Iām saying this),Ā When Calls the HeartĀ makes it significantly less frustrating. I expected to hate everything about Elizabeth Thorntonās see-sawing adventures with Nathan Grant and Lucas Bouchard, but to my absolute surprise, the show makes the choices feel earned and understandable. It ensures that we comprehend why both men are worthy and why thereād be confusion in the first place.
While some storylines remain up in the air, and itād be preferable to see all characters happily with their person, the show feels like it knows exactly what itās doing for the time being.
