#team lucas

elizabeth was grieving the love for her husband and fighting her feelings for saloon boy lucas.

this whole time we’ve been watching elizabeth juggle teaching, motherhood, and widowhood. while trying to find her “lifetime love” in lucas. but she was never over jack at the time. seeing nathan was hard for her because it reminded her so much of jack when nathan first took the job at hope valley.

and it sickens me to realise that nathan was never in the equation to begin with. if we are to believe elizabeth when she says that she loved nathan because she was trying to replace jack with him and kept seeking a similarity between jack and nathan; then this whole “love triangle” thing is hellishly cruel.

the writer’s really did us dirty with nathan grant. and so did elizabeth.

she tried so hard to picture jack being alive in the form of nathan. it distorted her, it changed her. into a version of herself which i do not like. i saw the comments on instagram and one in particular really stood out.

it said that lucas never really shows interest in elizabeth’s marriage to jack and never really acknowledges it, seemingly ignoring the fact that she was even married in the first place (i know that he noticed she took off her rings on the barf bridge in the finale - besides the point) i can back this up from what i’ve picked up on in season six where the meet for the first time outside the saloon and immediately flirts with her like a typical playboy. he only really backs off when she hears she’s married. but here’s the thing. once he knows for certain that’s he’s available and that actually she’s widowed, the look on his face when he realises he has his chance. he just cannot wait to have his way with her. that’s kinda cruel. i know elizabeth’s beautiful and everything, but does everybody have to have a crush on her??

and not once has he had any mention of little jack. if he is referring to him he’s not referring to him by name, just by nickname or by association. when eli and lucas kiss, he said to her “your the only one that matters to me”

like what?? he’s completely neglecting the fact that she has a child.

here’s another instagram comment snippet that caught my attention. this one says that (quite rightly) the writers have made elizabeth “go backwards” in a sense that she left the high society life to go live a homely life in the west frontiers only to be enticed back into it by the richest man in town, new dresses, a childish last scene in ep 12; so cringe. enjoying “dates” of wining and dining with lucas throughout season eight to choosing that in the finale over the humble farm life nathan could have offered her and her son. i hope elizabeth doesn’t expect lucas to teach little jack how to become slick city boy when he grows up ( that’s even if he notices jack jr) nathan was hoping to give elizabeth the frontier life that jack wasn’t able to. lucas probably hopes to become even richer by marrying a wealthy heiress widow.

the shows about the love story and the passions between a teacher and a mountie. end of story.

it could have done with ending it with the thornton wedding and having a little epilogue afterwards. not this pathetic attempt to bring back a mountie character only to have him thrown under the stagecoach.

After season 6, season 7, and so far season 8 of When Calls the Heart, I have come to the excruciating conclusion that I am not, and probably never will be, a fan of love triangles.

And what a shame, because I love triangles! Just not LOVE triangles.
