Elizabeth and Nathan’s romance became the central focus of Season 12 of When Calls the Heart. However, fans feel something is “off” between them. Hearties remarked on their “awkward” chemistry on social media.
Feeling The Love?
At the end of Season 11 WCTH, Nathan (Kevin McGarry) finally confessed his feelings to Elizabeth (Erin Krakow). It’s been a long time coming. Most Hearties were excited to see where their relationship was headed in Season 12. The season kicked off with new thrills and drama. Most of it involved the younger generation and a possible threat coming to Hope Valley.
The Hallmark drama also focused on an investigation into the double-headed eagle coin. Elizabeth and Nathan also embarked on their romance this season. But it’s not without its share of obstacles. The two are learning to navigate their newfound relationship as they bring their respective kids into it. Hearties are reacting to their blossoming romance on the show. Most have called their chemistry “awkward” and “uncomfortable.”
Bad Romance?
One Heartie started a thread about Elizabeth and Nathan on Reddit. It turns out they’re not a fan of the new couple. The Redditor wrote, “I have to say it took me a while, and I’m still not thrilled with them being together. However, I can’t put my finger on it, but they’re so awkward in their scenes together. Has anyone else noticed it?”
The original poster noted that Elizabeth wasn’t this “awkward” with Lucas (Chris McNally) or Jack (Daniel Lissing). Other Hearties took to the thread to react. Some agreed that something was “off” between the characters. “The whole show is off. I [was] rewatching the beginning season, and it had [so] much drama, it was so good,” one user noted.
Their relationship might’ve brought down the vibes of the show. However, it’s also possible that they were better off as friends, as one fan suggested. “They had better chemistry when they were just friends, and now that they’re together, they’ve lost their spark, IMO,” the Redditor commented.
Some wondered if it had to do with Krakow and McGarry’s real-life relationships. Krakow is dating co-star Ben Rosenbaum, while McGarry is married to Kayla Wallace.
