Season 11 Questions & Predictions (Part 3)
Here is Part 3 of Season 11 Questions and Predictions with MORE questions from all of you! We are less than a month away from the Season 11 Premiere.
Welcome Back, Hearties! Here’s another post with my Season 11 precautions based on your submitted questions. Let’s not waste time and dive right into Part 3 of my predictions for Season 11! Enjoy!
Question #1: Will the Fort Clay storyline finally be completed?
It will! Kevin McGarry hinted at this in his most recent interview with Suspenders Unbuttoned Podcast. It’s another reason I need Andrew Hargreaves to return to the show! He started this whole mess but disappeared and was hardly mentioned until S10. I predict more information about Hargreaves's involvement in the Fort Clay incident will be uncovered in Season 11. I have a gut feeling he made a negligent call or two that resulted in the events affecting both Nathan and Jack.
Question #2: Will we meet Nathan and Allie’s family?
Again, Kevin McGarry answered this on the Suspenders Unbuttoned Podcast interview. We won’t see any of Allie’s family. But Kevin McGarry mentioned we will get a big Allie and Nathan storyline involving their family! I wonder if we will learn more about Colleen. That is something I would be very interested in learning more about. How did it affect Allie? How much does Allie remember? How close were Colleen and Nathan? So many questions regarding Allie’s mother and their family!
I can’t wait to see what it is! Jaeda will do amazing (Kevin will too) and I can’t wait to see her shine!
Question #3: Are there any nods to Jack Thornton in Season 11?
There will always be little nods to Jack because he was/is still a huge part of Elizabeth’s life. I’m sure she will continue to discuss Jack with LJ and perhaps even Nathan and Allie. I am certain they will keep the pictures of Jack around Elizabeth’s house as we’ve seen since his passing in Season 5. At least that would be my hope because Jack is a huge part of Elizabeth and LJ’s life. It would be remiss to erase Jack’s pictures or memories. I anticipate more graveside chats in Season 11 because Elizabeth will still be working through her grief.
Question #4: What happens to draw Nathan & Allie closer?
This question is a reference to Kevin McGarry’s interview mentioned in Question #2. I am hoping whatever draws them closer is related to their family. I may be way off base here but I have wondered for a long time if they would write a storyline with Nathan’s Father passing away. I would never wish that on anyone but it’s just a prediction. Either way, I am very excited we will see Nathan and Allie continue to bond and grow as a little family of 2…for now.
Question #5: How will Allie & Elizabeth’s dynamic change once she and Nathan are an official couple?
I think the personal dynamic between Allie and Elizabeth will remain the same. They have always been close to each other. I am curious how it would change, if any, in the classroom. If I had to guess I would predict Elizabeth would not let that cloud her judgment. She will still be a fair teacher to all her students. I think Allie will expect nothing less from Elizabeth. It would add depth to their stories to delve into this part of their dynamic.
Question #6: Is the story over between Madeline & Bill?
I can only hope it is over. I was not a fan of that storyline. Nor would I be able to get on board with a pairing between those two. I don’t think Madeline is returning to season 11 and I do not see how they can continue to explore anything between them without her. It does worry me a little since the ending of last season did indicate some romantic tension between them. But I don’t see how they continue down that path in season 11.
Question #7: Is Bill still sick or has he been healed between seasons?
We were never really given a diagnosis but I think he had tuberculosis. This isn’t my area of expertise even though I am a healthcare professional. I think he is at increased risk for recurring episodes of TB. So perhaps we will see him have recurring bouts of TB but never life-threatening. My wish is for Bill to be healed and we see him with a new outlook on life. However, I think the idea from last season is the healing properties of the hot springs healed Bill’s mysterious illness.
Question #8: What will happen to the bond between LJ and Lucas?
I hope they can still be “buddies” and keep that connection! I feel strongly that LJ and Lucas still have a special bond even if he isn’t engaged or married to Elizabeth. I know this is a point of contention for fans but LJ can have multiple male figures supporting him in his life. Lucas can still be an important male figure in his life or even a father figure. Although, I think that will be Nathan’s role. Nevertheless, I expect Lucas and LJ to continue to have their “buddy” bond. To completely change that dynamic to have LJ no longer interact with Lucas would be a little silly. I’m also curious how Elizabeth will tell LJ she is not engaged to marry Lucas anymore.
Question #9: What can we expect for Henry’s storyline in S11 since he completed his redemption arc?
That’s my main question for Henry going into S11. I know we saw his storyline end with him visiting Abigail. We know she is not returning in S11 so that’s out of the question. They could date off-screen and continue writing letters. I will admit, I don’t know what Henry will do since he’s been redeemed! I am curious though!
I would personally love to see him with a stable job. Perhaps he will tend to the garden in his free time. As for a stable job, I think it would be great to see him do something on the business side. He’s a changed man and now has honor. With Lucas in Capitol City and currently recovering in the infirmary, it would be interesting to see Henry help Hickam with the business side of the saloon/hotel.
Based on a promo from ShineTV in New New Zealand, Lucas asks Henry to join his team. That would be an interesting storyline! Henry is smart in the field of business despite his poor choices in the past.
Question #10: What will the Yosts be up to in Season 11?
I have no idea what their storyline could involve. I predict Florence will still operate the switchboard and Ned will manage the mercantile. Based on the promo photos perhaps Florence will be part of the group of women starting a daycare! Other than that I have no idea.

Question #11: Will Elizabeth’s focus be the classroom or Nathan?
I predict we will see Elizabeth in the classroom and focus on her relationship with Nathan. Teaching the kids gives her a purpose and balance in her life. Elizabeth is often at her best when she’s in the classroom. Recent promo photos reveal new students and a classroom full of students with Elizabeth at the helm, so we know we she will be teaching!
Recent promos reveal Nathan & Elizabeth are wasting no time expressing their feelings for each other. It will be curious to see how things go! But I hope we see Nathan & Elizabeth have all the conversations necessary to move forward. They have a lot to talk about before embarking on a serious relationship.

Great post as usual!
It would be interesting to have a story line in which Allie gets a bit carried away with the fact that her father is dating her teacher. For example, putting off an important assignment (unintentionally) because she assumes in the back of her mind that Elizabeth will give her an extension. Allie is mature, but still a teenager with a lot to learn, so it wouldn’t be completely out of character in my opinion!
