Hey everyone
So, I know I stirred up the inquiry pot and there are a lot if questions, unfortunately I can't answer any without spoiling the story, but I would like to address Charles and his purpose.
I've always liked Charles and I never saw him as kaniving or have any ill intentions, and I've always thought he had good intentions towards Elizabeth and that he truly cared for her, he just didn't love her, but he loved the idea. As to his reason for being in Hope Valley, he really is looking to start his own practice, and with the growing community of Hope Valley he has a chance to make a good, fulfilling life with his fiancee, no he didn't leave her and we will meet her soon enough, and he has a chance to help people and give back from the blessings he's been given.
I've read a lot of fan fictions on this sight about Jackabeth and Charles has always been painted as the bad guy and a diva and whatever, and he's not a bad guy, it's just people that want to see him that way, so I have written him as a good guy with NO ULTERIOR MOTIVE. I've gotten a lot of reviews about how Charles is hiding something and how he has something to do with Jack going missing and, no he doesn't and it hurts that people would think so low of a character that we have seen nothing bad come from.
Lastly I wish to say that when I began writting this story it was an outlet for me and a way of getting over Jack's death and, honestly, I had no intention of bringing him back, but a review changes my mind. At first it hurt because it complimented me for being a good writer, but they weren't going to continue to read, but I thought about it and I came up with the idea of what if Jack had a twin brother that he didn't know about, and what if it was his twin who was really in the grave. Then I had a conundrum, wouldn't his mother have told him? Not if she had to give him up. Why did she give him up? Her first husband died(Jack's father) and she couldn't take care of two children by herself, so she gave one up and instead of lying to him she just never brought it up, but she did Thomas and Bill Avery, Thomas's best friend and trusted confidante. Thus Bill was sworn to secrecy and to never tell Jack. Then it went on from there.
Then came the tragic news about Lori Loughlin and then the fate of Abigail came in to question and I stopped writing for a while, coming to terms with one of my most beloved characters on the show and figuring out wether I wanted to continue with her or not, because whenever something like this happens I have a bad habit of cutting everything out of my life that has to do with that person because it feels like a betrayal, but I couldn't cut out Abigail because, despite what Lori did, Abigail is her own separate person and she shouldn't have to suffer the consequences of actions she had nothing to do with, so I just left her in, and I'm glad I did.
So, I hope I've cleared some things up and I'm sorry if I ranted a bit, I just needed to clear my head and open the think tank for chapter five, there will be A LOT OF EXPLANATIONS.
As always, thank you my dear readers
Sincerely
