WCTH Showrunner Lindsay Sturman on Jack’s Return
Now that Nathan and Elizabeth have shared their feelings with each other, there is still one big obstacle. That is Jack Thornton’s death. This was an obstacle impeding this couple’s romance. Moreover, this was the cliffhanger at the end of Season 11. It looks like this is what will be explored in WCTH Season 12.
Series showrunner Lindsay Sturman spoke with TV Guide about the possibility of Jack coming back. Although they are still working on Season 12 scripts, she seemed very sure of her answer.
Jack is not coming back, but we did want to keep his memory alive. From the beginning of the show, it was a story about widows and for Little Jack, as he’s hitting those milestones growing up, how does Elizabeth keep Jack alive for Little Jack and hold his memory and the complexity of that when she’s in a new relationship? It’s a way to complicate [Elizabeth and Nathan’s] new situation, which ends on a sweet note and then, oh no, there’s this new complexity. It can’t always be simple.
it certainly sounds like Jack Thornton will always be in between Nathan and Elizabeth. However, could one of the upcoming season’s storylines possibly absolve Nathan’s guilt? There seems to be a possibility.

I have always had a feeling jack may be alive, but I’m hoping not and flashback stuff would work. I like her with Nathan and I’m sure they can get through annnythiinng shortt of him being alive wich. again I so hope not ann option.
I want Jack to come back.
I think there will be a lot of flashbacks to finally put the FC issue to bed. Jack is not returning as they have said numerous times. It would actually tank the show if they brought Jack back, too much back and forth. Elizabeth and Nathan will get through all of it. What is revealed about Jack will relieve Nathan of his guilt fir Jack taking his place. Nathan and Elizabeth will marry by end of season or during a Christmas episode.
