I personally love When Calls the Heart from the very beginning, that even if I paid extra cable, so I can watch it again and again, even bought DVD ´s for my collection, but I can't bring myself to ré-watch this Season 11. It is completely different from the rest of the previous season. I feel like, body snatchers have abducted Elizabeth and replaced a completely different one! It is sad that all the love she gave to Lucas from season 9, has been erased!

What is going on with this show? It points out to a different direction. A possibility that Elizabeth will go to Nathan? Is this a joke!!!!!

As a long-time viewer from S1, I couldn't watch S9 after the show jumped the shark. I heard on social media halfway through S10 that the show seemed to be returning to its roots. After finding out Elizabeth & Lucas ended their engagement in E11, I decided to watch the finale live (1st time since S8E12). It felt like coming HOME to my happy place in Hope Valley! Love that the faith & forgiveness element has been brought back. Enjoyed the community pulling together, Pastor Joseph speaking at the christening, seeing the school children, Lucas winning & the magnetism between Elizabeth & Nathan! Looking forward to more of their journey to #GrantUsAFamily! Well done, writing team!

Thank you to the writers and the new showrunner for this wonderfully written season. Every episode had me looking forward to the next. It is so nice to see the people of Hope Valley so community oriented this season with all of the togetherness portrayed over the season. The scenes with Elizabeth and Nathan were just beautiful and so heartfelt. I loved seeing so much of Elizabeth with her students and just seeing more of the children in general. The scenes of Elizabeth at Jack's grave were, to me, very touching. Little Jack asking questions about his father brought tears to my eyes and seeing him in Jack's hat was a scene that just melts the hardest of hearts. I am so excited for season 11 and am looking forward to Elizabeth and Nathan's relationship deepen. They love each other and belong together. I sure hope we don't have to wait too long.

To erase the storyline of the featured couple of seasons 6-10, while still promoting as if the featured couple is still central is beyond manipulative.

Many key characters no longer ring true given central stories were altered in dismantling key storylines of several seasons. Elizabeth is barely recognizable, Lucas being 're-written' assumed all sorts of characteristics for him, like desire for a bigger stage, that character had stated, and shown, to be the opposite of his goals. Seasons had focused on Elizabeth moving through grief, choosing to say 'yes' to sharing marriage, co-parenting her child, and building a new life.

Very disappointing that a sledge hammer was taken to that show direction stated by executives.

I stopped watching WCTH after the season 8 finale. I was utterly disappointed and decided not to watch anymore. Didn't watch season 9 and only after learning that season 10 episodes were indicating that Elizabeth was pulling away from Lucas and showing feelings for Nathan, I watched the last few episodes of 10. At the end of 8, I never thought WCTH could put the pieces back together and get E and N's beautiful love story back on track. But now I feel so hopeful and excited for season 11.

I know the Elizabeth and Lucas fans feel very let down and puzzled by the way this season ended, but that's exactly how those of us that love Elizabeth/Nathan together felt when season 8 ended. It made no sense then, but the writers effectively helped convey that Elizabeth's fears are what moved her toward Lucas, that he was the safe choice. I keep hoping that the plaque hanging in the library that Nathan gave Elizabeth will be what helps affirm her realization that Nathan is who she belongs with.

What happen to this show? This whole season has been wanting for any real storylines. Who drags a grief striken Elizabeth for the whole season, for her to then makes a clear decision that her heart is no longer with Lucas but with Nathan? That must be the first time in WCTH history that E hasn't dragged her feelings about a man including Jack that quickly. This is no longer the sweet, wise, loving and compassionate Elizabeth. This is now a cold, calculated, two-faced, unloving, meddling and gossip girl Elizabeth.

Unfortunately, they made her unlikeable that she is now seen as a tarty widow that lures in red surge Mounties. If you like that sort of thing, then of course you will enjoy it. I wanted Nathan to have a good storyline, but to regress back to this triangle storyline is old and tiring. Those that want to move on are again stuck in a twilight zone and not progressing these characters. Not good and pathetic if you ask me.

The new showrunner has completely retcon'd the storyline and ignored the previous narrative from S8&9. It's like they never happened. I realize this is supposed to be Elizabeth's story, but the nonchalant way the whole town reacted to the break up was disturbing. In addition, Elizabeth let her students believe that Lucas was the one who did the breakup. Not true. So many characters are portrayed differently than last season, especially Elizabeth. Lucas is portrayed as clueless about what's going on, but he sacrifices his own happiness to save the town that now couldn't care less about him. Heartbreaking end. So it seems that the story will go back to the Mountie. Talk about regressing. The one bright spot was Henry's story. That was beautiful. During the baptism, Joseph welcomed the new baby into the community, but I guess Lucas had to be discarded in order to do that.

Congratulations to the cast crew and everyone involved with S10 of When Calls the Heart. After hearing good things from my WCTH friends that I connect with daily, I actually watched this episode. The first since S8. Congratulations particularily to Lindsay Sturman and Peter DeLuise on this episode.

I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more interaction between Nathan and Elizabeth. But then someone pointed out that the episode was full of them. Their kids were together or they were shown with the other's child. Even when apart, they were talking about each other. Elizabeth was shown looking at the Mountie office and even going there looking for him. The way is being paved for them to come home to each other. And the scenes they did have together... it took me watching the ending scene several times to see all of the nuances and implications of them being drawn to the same place at the same time. The words spoken and unspoken. The expressions, the conversation without words. Then to see them leaving the spot, not heartbroken like they did in S8, but together. On the same path. That is everything. They weren't ready for more. Even if I'm ready to see them married living their life together.

I haven't liked Lucas since the first time I saw him in S6 E6 where he's bragging about being a gambler. That identity stuck with me and I'm glad that it was brought forward again this season in a Hope Valley way. I'm still not sure what I think about it because I haven't heard about or seen those beginning E10 episodes in detail. But I can say that I am delighted that Lucas has found his calling. I'm so happy for him and hope for good things romantically for him as well. Hopefully with Fiona. Well, once the sadness of things not working out with Elizabeth lessens.

I'm happy to be back home, watching WCTH on screen, along with my reading all kinds of variations in fanfiction.

Satisfying completion of several story arcs with Henry's redemption, the Colter's baby story with christening, Joseph following his calling as a paster and the breakup of Elizabeth and Lucas (even though painful for many viewers) which was handled in a thoughtful, caring manner with them both realizing it was for the best. Then the cliff hangers: who was waiting for Lucas? What happens to Lucas causing Bill to get Elizabeth and Nathan? Will Abigal be in Season 11 and will she and Henry have a romance? And will Elizabeth finally do what she is afraid to do and let herself be with Nathan? Season 11 should be filled with lots of new stories!

I will not be watching this show again. When Calls the Heart, and shows on Hallmark in general, are supposed to be uplifting, plausible romances. Unfortunately, this season, little of that was true, and none was the case in the lead storylines.

The writers chose to unceremoniously, incongruously end an established romance between the lead character, Elizabeth, and Lucas.

To divert the storylines, the character traits of numerous characters were inexplicably altered. Mei is now meek. Fiona is less gutsy, and less involved in town affairs; Mike more so. Faith was unsure of herself. Joseph offered little moral guidance to members of his flock straying from their truths. Lucas abandoned his much-professed life ambitions for politics. Elizabeth waffled over her love life and the "triangle" concocted in S6 (which fans were told was over in S8 when she chose Lucas and subsequently became engaged to him) was seemingly resurrected.

The executive producers and writers of this show have irreparably damaged the storyline, character arcs, premise, and fanbase of this show. What was meant to uplift, now causes division and heartbreak (which if you read interviews with these folks, you realize was intentional - the rift amongst the fanbase over the triangle was intentional, as was this recent 180 meant to pander to those who preferred the unchosen suitor). What was meant to be a romance has is now a representation of a fickle, indecisive woman breaking her vows and commitments to an honorable man. What was meant to be a family show is now a depiction of inexplicable familial brokenness, with parental figures ripped away from young kids and adults engaging in 'friendships' that border on infidelity.

This show has so grossly moved away from its wholesome, uplifting roots that it is sadly unrecognizable now. What a tragic end to a wonderful series.

What a great way to end the season amazing season 10!!!! Can't wait for season 11 and hopefully 12 and so on!!! I Can say it was a good episode even tho some parts I found were boring the Madeline and bill part we didn't need that I wanted more Elizabeth and Nathan!!!!! Can't believe it's happening E & N can't wait to see it all unfold!!! Season 11 can't wait. This show feels like home again the writing was amazing this season and can say that wow the tension between Elizabeth and Nathan was very so strong and so exciting!!! And to talk about the jaw dropping Henry showing up to Abigail's house whatttt Omgg is she coming back??? And the final moments between Nathan and Elizabeth at the I love spot so full circle moment but bill really interrupted something. Well more of that conversation will hopefully be continued into season 11.

This has been one of the best seasons of the entire show. The writers really outdid themselves! There were so many real to life moments in this season - Rosemary giving birth to Goldie was SO emotional, and then the exhaustion she and Lee dealt with later with having a newborn was so relatable. The grief that Rosemary went through for her mother made me think of my grandmother - her mother also died when she was a child, and even though she couldn't remember her, she always missed her mother being in her life. As for Elizabeth and Lucas, I feel like the writers did the right thing. Even though I always liked Lucas, I never felt that he and Elizabeth were suited for each other. I also understood why they broke up - their lives took different paths, and Elizabeth didn't want to follow his. That's LIFE. Sometimes, even though you love someone, you have to say goodbye because it's for the best. I just really appreciate how the writers and creators took out a lot of the fairytale "cheesiness" and made this show more like real life. The actors did a FABULOUS job this season, too! During the emotional scenes, I felt everything they were feeling. Great job to you all!! I can't wait for season 11!

Other than the death of Jack, Seasons 1-9 were a joy to watch. I was shocked and saddened as I watched the breakup of Lucas and Elizabeth in episode 11 of season 10. With Season 9 ending with the very tender and loving engagement of Lucas and Elizabeth , viewers expected a wedding in Season 10. The once very strong Elizabeth became insecure and so out of character. Granted she always valued Rosemarys advice, she should have talked to Lucas and Pastor Joseph about what was going on inside her head. Season 9 was destroyed in 2-3 minutes at the train station. Elizabeth and the townspeople basically forced Lucas into running for the governorship and at the last minute she yanked her love and support from him. Poor Lucas' head must have been spinning while on the train. I just can't believe that someone actually got paid to write Season 10.

The new show runner returned all the characters back to who they were before S8-S9. It's now a clean, wholesome show with faith and values. Those who didn't care for it are likely CM fans. CM himself is happy to be given a new storyline. Regardless it's always been Nathan. All the other characters have returned to their former selves. The episodes aren't all over the place and disjointed. If anyone watched S1-S7 they'd see S8-S9 were the seasons that made no sense. Thank you to the new show runner for returning this show to its roots. I can now let my niece watch it without all the extra kissing.

I'm so happy the show is back to how it used to be!! Heartwarming, community-focused, it's all about faith, forgiving and kindness.

The teacher is teaching again, the Mountie is a Mountie again, the saloon owner starts a promising political career, Rosemary gets to be a Mom (finally!!), the preacher is doing his preacher thing... like everyone is back to where they're supposed to be.

Season 8 was so awful, I didn't even watch Season 9, now I'm slowly catching up on S10 and hallelujah for this new show runner! She took everyone in Hope Valley back home! <3.

I'm very much looking forward to Season 11!

I have watched this show everyday from the beginning. It has literally been on my TV everyday for years until season 10. The stories aren't heart warming, inspirational or leave a feel good feeling. The story is about Elizabeth and her journey, but I have never seen the character being so heartless. Her choice of her mate is hers, but Lucas has never hurt her or the town. He has gone above and beyond for Elizabeth and the town, yet no one thought enough of him to stand by him. That's not how the unity of the show normally would act. The town people seem to have become Stepford wives. Henry's story was the only one that gave me the warmth that I looked for. The show doesn't feel family friendly anymore. Then to think she decided to choose a man who indirectly and directly caused LJ to loose his biological father and further stepfather is unrealistic. To imply that Lucas was immature and not a good father and even implying he isn't good for the town with all the sacrifices he made. So disappointed. Jeanette Oke's writing is not like this, that's an insult to her.

This Season was one of the best written ones, not because I prefer E&N, but simple because it was cohesive and coherent when compared to S7&8. The new SR should be applauded for having the courage to change the stupid "canon" and "retcon" TL keeps talking about. Simply, the show was boring with E&L and the ratings tanked but because many TL and others are unhappy in their own lives, they project their wants onto a fictional character. Thus, the hatred and vitriol towards Elizabeth who was once their darling. The finale was exactly as it should be so I advise WATCH THE SHOW AND IGNORE THE NOISE...
