When Stars Align

The only negative thing I have to say about S11 episode one is Fiona leaving.

The plus this season is that every character on the show got some good time on scene. Loving the direction the show is going. WCTH is back and I'm so on board.

I can't wait to see how Lindsay S. Weaves all these storylines together from Nathan & Elizabeth love story, two Rosemary and Bill investigating Lucas shooting, to Faith and that adorable little child, to Lucas and Henry's new "possible" working relationship. Little Goldie walking and how Rosemary and Lee will be able to work and raise Goldie, can't wait to see Allie's big storyline this season. So much to look forward to. The show is off to a great start.

What a great start to S11! Feels like you're home again with the way the writers reeled us in. Every scene keeps one attention as no one is left behind in this Season. Everyone has a story and it fits. No one is acting out of place and it's great to see cohesive and honest storylines this time around. S10 saw a true calling of a return to the roots with Elizabeth finally answering her heart's call. How many of us can step out of the box someone else molded for us? Why should she marry someone that she knows hasn't gotten the full depth of her love? Because others say that she should? By leaving Lucas who did everything for her, she's selfish, a liar and a cheater? Please show us the perfect person because they don't exist. She didn't intentionally mislead Lucas but she felt that he was dependable and had no reason to be lost and would always be there, safe and comfortable. She knows Nathan is her next great love and he loves her unconditionally and unabashedly.

I hope those that are criticizing see that they find fault only because their hero no longer has the girl and while no fault of their own, how they navigate the rest of the season says a lot about them. All in all, this episode was beautiful and I can't wait for the others.

Great job by the creators of this show! They listened to the fans and made a tough decision to fix the big mistake they made at the end of Season 8. It's rare for people to admit when they messed up, so this is really refreshing.

The first episode of the new season was wonderful and had all the warm, friendly vibes that this show had in Seasons 1-7.

I loved all the new stories they started this season. Love Elizabeth's new hair cut, the humor with Rosemary and Bill, and love seeing how the kids have grown! I'm really excited to see what happens with Lucas's character. And of course, I can't wait to watch the cute love story between Nathan and Elizabeth grow. I'm so invested in this adorable blended family on TV!

Overall, the creators have done an amazing job with this premier episode! They've shown they're willing to listen to the fans and make the hard creative choices to keep the show true to its roots. I can't wait to see what else is coming, and I'll be watching every week.

After S8 I never thought I'd return to watch WCTH, but I started back S10 and what a joy! The show has returned to the refreshing, beautiful stories that S1-7 was. The characters have all returned to their formal selves and the wholesome tv show is back. This was one of the best season openers of any tv show I have ever watched. It laid the foundation for an exciting season for all characters and we are finally headed toward the greatest love story that has been in the works since S6 - Nathan and Elizabeth! The new showrunner has really done her research to get to know the characters and her writing is superb!

The first episode felt like coming home again. In the first few minutes last season's cliffhanger is addressed and a new chapter begins. I felt like they set up several good storylines for the new season and I'm sure there will be more to come as far as storylines go but it was a great start and I'm looking forward to seeing how this season plays out!! It's nice to be able to watch a heart warming, family friendly, romance, with a bit of drama and mystery! There is a something for everyone in this series and I do believe this will be a very successful season!!! The writers have really brought it back to the roots. I know not everyone is happy about that but all the negative that you put out totally defeats the theme of this series, and you may not have been the fan you claim to be.
