L fans love Lucas because of his kind spirit, generosity, & charisma. We were 💔 when E and L broke up but some gave the show a chance. All we want is good storytelling & his character to be respected. We have been given neither and it’s not right.

The fact that he was used by the two women he trusted and loved the most in his life is absolutely heart-wrenching. He gave them so much and all they did was take everything from him. 💔

A kiss so good & so worth the wait the ep is literally called “The Kiss.” ❤️🔥😮💨
& that’s not even the full scene. Given how things are now the writers should have called it “A kiss.” It’s definitely more fitting since they're doing their best to undermine L & E
#RallyForMcNally
There is a narrative going around that, based on the trailers, seems to be perpetuated in the next episode - that Lucas characterized Jeanette as an old poor widow. However, in previous references to her, he NEVER described her as such.

His heart was completely hers
Her heart belonged to another
He wanted a life with her
She dreamt of a life with another
All he wanted was to stay
He left to save the place she adored

Genuine question to those who say TPTB are “coddling”
#teamlucas
, how exactly are they doing that? Because so far all they have done is have his fiancée coldly dump him in 2 minutes because she was in love with another man, 1/3
#ChrisMcNally
#LucasBouchard
What hurts the most is E was everything to L but he was just a way to heal herself & her heart to give to another
The ironic thing is by using L to heal herself she broke him in the process & she still hasn't said sorry

It’s not Chris’ job to sell the show. If the TPTB wanted L fans to watch they should have written compelling & cohesive stories. They failed.
CM just told it like it is. L is heartbroken since E left him & the flip to N in s10 was unexpected.

Chris McNally owes them nothing. It’s not his job to get anyone on board .. it’s entirely the writers fault. Why do they even want him to? Everyone involved with that show including
@hallmarkchannel
is driving his fans away. I hope Chris finds a better job elsewhere soon.
Their first declaration of love was on the bridge. Just moments before she believed she had lost him forever. He wondered if she loved him as much as much as he loved her.
Now a lifetime of love and devotion is in their future ❤️

Lucas has been broken physically and emotionally. He lost his home, fiancée, & stepson. He was at death’s door & has PTSD. Now he's trying to secure HV’s future & his efforts are failing.
But he shows some frustration and he's a man-child with anger issues.
#lucasbouchard
@ladyofmusic1
This whole storyline makes no sense. What possessed them to right this? TL is already coming off a breakup and you write this. N’s character wasn't sullied after the breakup. They must have really thought TL was drips and drabs and expendable when writing this.
Lucas was so brave during this scene, because despite everything Janette had done, he was to resolved to help her no matter the risk to himself as he still cared for her and believed in the person she could be. ❤️

“Every man has his secret sorrows…it’s about a man who falls in love with a woman who ultimately rejects him.”
If L only knew the source of his greatest sorrow was standing in front of him & would reject him after saying “Yes to it all” 😭

Lucas and Elizabeth were a love story for the ages.
J meant the world to E. Because of him, she knew what true love was. She wouldn't take off the ring J slid on her finger or commit to a relationship without being sure of her heart.

Whatever secrets are revealed it is ridiculous for Lucas to be judged for misrepresenting Jeanette as an old widow when that was a detail added in s11. It is also ridiculous for the writers to insult viewers’ intelligence with this spin on the story.
#ChrisMcNally
#LucasBouchard
What they had was so special & beautiful 💓
Every feeling & action from passion to tenderness to longing to support to having to break away from each when saying goodbye to laughing in the rain was a part of their story

All Lucas fans want is consistent stories that honor the character. But it’s clear right now LB’s purpose is to be an annoying obstacle for E and N, a source of drama, and the go-to person to be constantly questioned and come under scrutiny.

The ironic thing is tearing down Lucas doesn't give E and N more credibility it only discredits them. E and N could have worked as a couple and had a solid foundation. Would the whole audience have loved them? No. But they could have been credible if canon was respected.
Lucas, Elizabeth, & Little Jack were the cutest family.
They were everything to Lucas. He said that they were all that mattered. Everything could be burned and destroyed and there would still be love. Where did that love go? 💔

Seriously, you come into our thread. Give your opinion and then when we respond to you respectfully with our opinion this is how you respond. If you need to run with your tail between your legs then you know your argument is wrong. 😌
@JulesDiner
Lucas was created by Alfonso to be a gentleman with a little mystery about him that would be explained. These are quotes from AM from an ET interview and podcast about L. How would Lucas be worthy of E’s heart if his interest in her was part of a con?
#lucasbouchard
#ChrisMcNally
This is not a Henry or Jesse or Frank situation. Where it was shown or implied clearly there was something unsavory to their past from the get-go and where the audience would root for their redemption. Have the writers not seen the vitriol against Lucas?
#LucasBouchard
@ADunn_2001
@GryffindorJenny
He was coming down the stairs and people spontaneously decided to show their support with applause. Also, they’re asking why he has to get any screen time at all. Lucas had three minutes of screen time in this episode and they're complaining that he stole time away from N and E.
@PrettPumpernick
@kattycassy_13
Therein lies the whole ugly truth of this narrative. For Elizabeth, The preservation of her emotional well-being was worth sacrificing someone else's. That is the action of someone selfish, not selfless, and one for which she needs to be accountable and sorry.
@Daniell95213352
L fans have dealt not only with the breakup of an engagement but with L being blamed for the breakup, subject to snide comments from the people of HV in nearly every ep (especially from E and R), & his morality being targeted. The two situations aren’t the same.
#LucasBouchard
There’s nothing like the bond between a mother and son.
Wish we could have seen Helen at her son’s bedside & helping him to heal both physically and emotionally. She and her husband deserved to be there more than those present.
#LucasBouchard

Filling in gaps or adding more to L and J’s story is one thing, writing a story where you have to assume something happened off-screen which has not been supported at all is another.
#LucasBouchard
#ChrisMcNally
We should have seen L & E as a power couple advocating for educational rights. We should have seen her talking about her love for writing & L’s support. We should be seeing them use the book wagon to bring books to impoverished families. 📚

They are getting everything they ever wanted and still, it is not enough and it is clear it won't be until L is gone from the show and unable to upstage their guy (at least in their mind). Never mind the feelings of L fans who still watch the show.

When she was never forthright with Lucas about her doubts about the wedding and her confused feelings. Lucas never got the chance to question E and ask her why she led him on and handled their relationship the way she did. Why should E get to demand answers when L never did? 2/2
We loved this scene so much! How Lucas was able to listen to Allie and understand how she was feeling. And that he was even able to make her feel better. He’s such a great guy. It was so sweet and touching. Great job by

This right here! If L changes after coming to HV when does this happen & why isn’t he open about it? The audience has to assume he lies all this time about J, cheating once, & being honest when this goes against his established characterization.

I’ve always viewed L’s honesty as a core characteristic—IMO, that has been torpedoed, and the ramifications on previous canon as well as his established characterization are devastating.
@morrisongirls03
E didn't even give him the courtesy of having a private conversation or the chance to talk about his feelings in a detailed respectful conversation. You may think there’s nothing wrong with the writing and that’s totally fine but many fans think the opposite.
To continue throwing mystery around Lucas and have his intentions questioned and continue this stereotype of him as the secretive “shady” businessman they're willing to break continuity and go to great lengths that undermine the show’s integrity.
It was just a typical first meeting…or so they thought. Little did they know that they were destined to be together. 🥺😍
These two have come so far and we can’t wait to see where they go next on their journey together. 🥰

How it is okay to sacrifice someone else’s emotional well-being and feelings for the sake of your own? If Elizabeth freely and knowingly went into a relationship & accepted a proposal to fix herself why hasn’t she apologized to L & owned up to the unnecessary pain she caused? 2/2
The looks! 🥰 The kiss on the cheek! 😘The hot air balloon ride! 😍It’s all perfect! They’re perfect!! Ahhh can season 9 get here any faster!

Jack didn't tell E about R, Frank kept his outlaw past a secret, and Carson didn't say anything about his wife, etc. Sure fans maybe felt those characters could have handled things differently but they weren't being demonized because of it.
#ChrisMcNally
#LucasBouchard
@JKAN3567
She is STUNNING (outshines E in every way) but we know not to trust the storyline. They will probably try to use it to make L look bad by most likely making it where they dated briefly or had feelings for each other (reciprocal or one-sided) and he didn't tell E
#LucasBouchard
When Lucas was falsely accused E was his rock & his anchor. She even got into it with some of the people of HV for not supporting Lucas and doubting his innocence. Now she barely interacts with him. She didn’t offer any support for his PTSD. What happened?
#RallyForMcNally
@ADunn_2001
@GryffindorJenny
Exactly! Lucas can do nothing right in the eyes of extreme TN fans. They’re now saying he disrespected N and is a narcissist for showing up at the party. Hello? Lucas lives 22 hours away. He probably did not know about this party. It was planned LAST MINUTE.

If it does turn out that Jeanette is Lucas’ ex-fiancée would have been best for L to tell E? Yes. Could L have handled it better? Probably. But it’s so ridiculous and disingenuous for the writers to portray a scene where E calls L out on it and demands the truth 1/2
@Michell29743596
@hallmarkchannel
Yeah, they definitely do. During S9 N and E had a good amount of scenes together. In S11 E and L have barely had any scenes. Tonight is the first time they've interacted in 7 weeks. Wonder why that could be 😏
Even if CM were to try to “harder to sell it”, which at this point would be impossible since he already has teased his story in a positive way, it wouldn't do any good as this is a problem with fans not wanting to watch a show due to storytelling, not marketing.
