I still enjoyed the season even though it did become a bit messy. Enjoyed the finale, actually quite sad that Declan died. Poor Jack just can't get a break. I'm glad now that Jack knows who Emily is, although it was amusing when she said "Look at me" and then he had flashbacks. Why didn't that happen the first time he looked at her?
I totally agree with you here. Yes its the big endgame. Emily/Amanda and Jack living happily ever after. But Jack just doesnt work as a character and I think they just got the casting wrong.
There is nothing wrong with Nick Wescler - he can really do emotional scenses - but he just doesnt fit with Emily. For a start, he's smaller than her in all their scenes! You want Emily to wrap him up and tuck him into bed. Not what we want the leading man to appear like. Just my opinion
In full agreement ! I've never taken to Jack's character or is it simply the way Nick Wescler acts or even his face I don't particularly like ? I just don't think he belongs with Amanda/Emily .
I have just rewatched S1 and felt the Emily/Jack thing worked a lot better in that than in S2. Possibly because Emily and Aiden worked so well together so that was lost. Although I liked Aiden I do feel that it made Emily lose interest in Jack.
Much as I was impatient to watch every episode in S2 I feel it wasn't anything like as good as the first series, I really hope season 3 is more like that.
Agreed, they definitely need to turn the show back around to season 1.
I don't want to call it more simplified because it was convoluted even then. But season 2 took it to a level that at times wasn't very entertaining and was too much.
It needs to strip back to Emily and the Graysons again. Though no doubt we'll have an influx of new characters again to steal focus.

I really hope she isn't. I want the whole show to finish with her succeeding in getting all her revenge and getting together with Jack.
I hope she doesn't die either, that would just feel so wrong for me if she did. She deserves better than that.
Great show last night, good to see them all back. I particularly enjoyed Emily and Victoria throwing barbed comments at each other, though the whole show had a 'hit the ground running' feel which I did like. The 'tie up the loose ends from last season' bits were varying degrees of blatant though .
Oh, as for Emily getting together with Jack... well, the episode threw a spanner in the works for that last night, which I can't say I'm disappointed about. For one thing, Jack has all the passion of a wet sponge.
Isn't the actor playing Patrick too young to play a 40 year old? He looks early-mid 30s.
I can't remember what happened in the last series with Aiden, why does he hate Emily?
I cant remember either but I have a feeling its something to do with - argh, whatshisname - Greyson Junior!! :p - him not wanting her to get engaged/marry him to further her revenge...... I might be wrong tho!
Sorry I'm not being smart but I watch at US pace, so I cant tell you as it will spoil you.
My guess is that he is actually helping Emily (whether she knows it or not) because otherwise he could just tell Victoria everything and there would be nothing left of the show. And my other guess is Charlotte is the one to shoot Emily.
Though please don't spoil it by confirming if I'm right or wrong please. This is one of the only shows I don't read spoilers for.
Justin Hartley is 36. And something tells me just by knowing how this show works he is not really Patrick.
If they go down that route I predict a Victoria/Patrick romance, probably before they find out he's not Patrick. I guessed he was around 35 but he still doesn't look old enough.

Haven't seen it before.
Am I in for a treat?
Yes, but with it being so early in the morning it's most likely going to be butchered in the editing.
Thats a shame, still better than nothing!
Thank you for the tip-off.

We'll have to wait and see. It's good to see the return of the series and a new set of intrigues and betrayals.
