Elizabeth Thatcher, a young school teacher from a wealthy Eastern family, migrates from the big city to teach school in a small coal mining town in the west.
Please be nice in the comments, I'm only sharing in case any disgruntled fans want a good-natured laugh
Okay so based on her watchthrough of episodes 5&6:
-
She used to ship Nathan/Elizabeth but is now annoyed by it
-
She ships Nathan/Faith for some reason and thinks Nathan should get back with her (idk why, she didn't elaborate on why she likes them together, personally I thought they had no chemistry but she apparently thought otherwise lol)
-
She thinks Kavan Smith and Pascale Hutton are married irl (I have looked this up and at least as of 2023 they were married to different people. Pascale is married to Danny Dorosh and Kavan has kept his family life mostly private, but as far as I can gather he's married to someone I'm assuming isn't in showbiz. I think they just have really good onscreen chemistry because they've been friends forever at this point)
-
During one of the Nathan/Elizabeth scenes she started heckling them about how their attempt to be friends after their complicated love story arc isn't worth it and they should just see other people
-
She was also like "why don't they put Elizabeth with the older guy" meaning Henry??? Idk if she was serious or joking, she might've been joking because Elizabeth spends the most time talking to him in Abigail's absence lmao
-
When I mentioned I originally liked Nathan with Mei she kept saying "but doesn't 'the manager' [Mike] like her" and I had to explain how Mike liked Fiona (whom I referred to as the "phone girl" because she doesn't keep track of everyone's names) first but Fiona left the show so now he's with Mei (she has seen the Fiona seasons but she might've forgotten about her I dunno)
Anyway 10/10 best show commentary so far, curious to hear what she thinks after episode 7

I agree - Nathan and Mei’s personalities align really well
I’ve decided to buy in on the Hickam thing but yeah, missed opportunity there
I hope you post a recap of your mom's commentary after each episode. This was priceless 🤣
Put it on YouTube. I’d watch it! 🤣🤣🤣
Nathan is dating Fiona in real life. Why don’t they just have him with her?!
ETA I jumped the gun - it appears they are not yet married
Do you have an article to share? I heard they were engaged.
Oops - for some reason I thought they were already married but you are correct! They are still engaged from what I just read
I don't understand why they ended Nathan and Mei. He's had the most chemistry with her. Nathan and Faith just made me cringe to watch. Just no. I want to like Mei and Hickam but I'm just not feeling it.
I kind of wish they would just let Elizabeth be for a while. I never really liked her with Lucas, they were too different. But now trying to rekindle with Nathan feels forced. Just let her be for a bit. Jack was the love of her life and it's going to be hard to replicate that.
Wow! tell your mom thanks for the laughs! WCTH= Comedy show! Whoever though that after five wonderful episodes WCTH is know just a joke of laughs.
I know it’s not a real path for the show, but now I’m wondering if them putting E with Henry (my fave) would make me like her more or just dig my heels in on my disdain.
That’s awesome. I watch with my mom and aunt. My mom and I mostly have the same opinions and make little comments throughout the show (or like any hallmark movie we watch, when the “bad guy” comes on, one of us will say “what a snake!” And the other one will hiss). But my aunt is like your mom, isn’t the best with the names and calls them by descriptive things. She also calls Henry “the old guy” and can’t believe he and Kavan are the same age. Then I tell her they’re not all that much older than me! She looks at me like I’m crazy.
The actor for Henry and Kavan are the same age? No way!
They are! Kavan just turned 54 on May 6; Martin turns 55 in November.
That's the difference between a full beard and clean cut
I love it! Your mom is spot on I think!🫶🏻
It’s easy to mistake Kavan and Pascale as a married couple because they play it so well and they have played a couple in other projects. But they are best friends and are each married to someone else. Yes, Kavan is married in real life. He mentions his wife in interviews. I think she isn’t in acting at all.
Love your mom’s commentary. I agree with a lot of what she’s saying. 🤣🤣
