      Nathan and Elizabeth fans have been waiting going on 8 seasons for this ship to sail. Sadly, I will not be tuning in to s13 of WCTH. I’m beyond weary of the stalling and games the show and Hallmark choose to play with fans. There are better and much richer stories that can be told within the context of a committed blended family made official by marriage. These characters are not 20 somethings. They are approaching 40. In 1921, it was not realistic for an unmarried couple to call themselves a family, especially with children involved. In fact, it was unheard of. Erin Krakow and Kevin McGarry have mesmerizing chemistry. They could bring compelling stories to life on the screen if they could ever be allowed. Quite frankly, Elizabeth and Nathan have had enough obstacles and deserve some joy. Allie was brought to Hope Valley at age 10. She has been desirous of a mom and sibling. 7 years later, she is still w/o either. Jack is nearing age 7, and he is w/o a doting dad. How is WCTH considered a family show? This is the only show I have ever watched that doesn’t have a vision for its leading lady. What a shame…both for fans and the actors.
