Wow - I didn't realise that people were so invested and had so much to say about the "Team Devlin vs Team Lincoln" debate. I'm still receiving messages with your thoughts on Gemma's love life - haha!
I love reading your comments and life experiences - some of them really made me laugh, such as this message from Renee:
"OK, so having been married
to the same dear and annoying man for 59 years, I can perhaps claim some marital insights. Common interests, sense of humour, skills and goals being dominant factors. So in my opinion, for what it might be worth, Devlin has more going for him in relation to Gemma's personality and life focus. Also I am greatly influenced by not wanting Mrs Rose to be smug and say she told us so!!I
The doctor seems
fond of Gemma, but there is limited ignition in their relationship! Muted spark is not enough. Just the thoughts of an octogenarian who has seen many relationships prosper and many founder. Who needs lukewarm 🙄?"
Of course, there's also the opposite point of view - such as from Marilyn!
"I don’t think half your readership will be “disappointed” with either Devin or Lincoln when Gemma chooses. Both men are intriguing in their own way, and you need to let the characters inspire you. I voted for Lincoln, because, well he’s nice, kind, he’s thoughtful, capable and cute. Devlin, while dashing, gorgeous and kind, is too mercurial to be a steady partner in marriage, which is a whole different kettle of fish than mere romancing. He would be too emotionally
high maintenance as a marriage partner for Gemma and that would be too distracting, for both Gemma’s work and her story. Lincoln will be a true help, while having his own interesting career."
